Molecular insights into electroreceptor ribbon synapses from differential gene expression in sturgeon lateral line organs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 784-805, May 2026.
The expression of various genes involved in synapse development, stability and/or function was studied in developing mechanosensory neuromasts and electrosensory ampullary organs in sterlet sturgeon. Most were shared, including Slc17a8, Slc1a3 and Nrxn3, but Cbln18 was neuromast‐restricted and Tulp1 was ampullary organ‐restricted.

Multi‐Seasonal eDNA Metabarcoding Highlights a Resurgence in Fish Diversity Across a Severely Impacted Estuarine Ecosystem

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have been in an alarming state of decline for decades. In particular, estuarine ecosystems have experienced long‐term declines in fish diversity due to factors such as habitat degradation, pollution and altered hydrology. Monitoring these systems is often limited by the difficulty and cost of conventional survey methods.

Unveiling microbiome signature in inner body fluids: comparison between wild and aquarium small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The microbiome is a crucial influencer in animal development, immune function and health, and it has complex and dynamic interactions with the environment, but little is known about the microbial signatures of inner body fluids.

Semi-pelagic Longline and Trammel Net Elasmobranch Catches in Southern Portugal: Catch Composition, Catch Rates and Discards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In Portugal, elasmobranch landings have decreased substantially in recent years. In this work, elasmobranch catches in semi-pelagic longlines (1997 and 1998) were compared with those in trammel nets (2000) in the Algarve, southern Portugal areas.

Genome‐wide identification and solute selectivity of aquaporins in the sharpnose sevengill shark, Heptranchias perlo

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, April 2026.
Abstract The aquaporin genes (aqps) are widely distributed among vertebrates. In cartilaginous fish, aqp3 and aqp10 are duplicated, whereas many species have lost aqp8. While the solute permeability of aquaglyceroporins and Aqp8 exhibits significant diversity, systematic evaluations of their activity within species are limited.

Characterization of the tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactive components of the basal subpallium in sharks—toward an identification of a basal subpallial complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy
Comparative studies on the forebrain across different model organisms are necessary to investigate the origin and degree of evolutionary conservation of this brain region and its derivatives. The catshark Scyliorhinus canicula has become a reliable model

An epithelial signalling centre in sharks supports homology of tooth morphogenesis in vertebrates

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Development of tooth shape is regulated by the enamel knot signalling centre, at least in mammals. Fgf signalling regulates differential proliferation between the enamel knot and adjacent dental epithelia during tooth development, leading to formation of

Juvenile Gadoid Distributions Are Driven by Patch Boundaries and Habitat Combinations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study used 757 stereo baited remote underwater video deployments across two Scottish sea lochs and adjacent bays (2021–2023) to investigate how seascape structure and species co‐occurrence shape the distributions of juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), and whiting (Merlangius merlangus).

Distribution of skates and sharks in the North Sea: 112 years of change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
How have North Sea skate and shark assemblages changed since the early 20th century when bottom trawling became widespread, whilst their environment became increasingly impacted by fishing, climate change, habitat degradation and other anthropogenic ...

Commercial sharks under scrutiny: Baseline genetic distinctiveness supports structured populations of small-spotted catsharks in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The present study, based on microsatellite markers, describes a population genetic analysis of the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula (Linnaeus, 1758), representing one of the most abundant and commonly caught cartilaginous fishes in the ...
