Reproductive biology of 58 fish species around La Réunion Island (Western Indian Ocean): first sexual maturity and spawning period

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology
Background: The biological information of fish, which include reproduction, is the prerequisite and the basis for the assessment of fisheries. Methods: The aim of this work was to know the reproductive biology with the first sexual maturity (TL50) and ...

Use of otoliths to estimate size at sexual maturity in fish

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2000
The viability of an alternative method for estimating the size at sexual maturity of females of Plagioscion squamosissimus (Perciformes, Sciaenidae) was analyzed. This methodology was used to evaluate the size at sexual maturity in crabs, but has not yet

MFF budding from mitochondria regulates melanosome size and maturation

Nature Communications
Melanosomes are lysosome-related organelles that produce and accumulate melanin. Their maturation is regulated through interactions with mitochondria and involves the export and recycling of proteins via tubular transport and fission events whose mechanisms are unknown.

Mechanistic Basis of Using Body Size and Maturation to Predict Clearance in Humans

Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 2009
Growth and development are two major aspects of children not readily apparent in adults. Clearance in the paediatric population should be investigated using models that describe size, maturation and organ function influences. Size is the primary covariate and although lean body weight is argued as a better measure than total body weight, the use of ...

Microplastic contamination in the endemic Fiji maskray (Neotrygon romeoi)

Frontiers in Marine Science
Plastic waste accumulates in coastal environments, posing risks to marine organisms and the human communities that depend on them. Fiji relies heavily on inshore fisheries, yet the extent and physiological implications of microplastic (MP) contamination ...

Shell Lip Thickness Is the Most Reliable Proxy to Sexual Maturity in Queen Conch (Lobatus gigas) of Port Honduras Marine Reserve, Belize; Informing Management to Reduce the Risk of Growth Overfishing

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Queen conch (Lobatus gigas) is an important food source and export product for Belize, where extraction is regulated by shell length (SL) and market clean weight (MCW) limits.

Relative growth and sexual dimorphism of Austinixa aidae (Brachyura: Pinnotheridae): a symbiont of the ghost shrimp Callichirus major from the southwestern Atlantic Crecimiento relativo y dimorfismo sexual en Austinixa aidae (Barchyura: Pinnotheridae): un simbionte del camarón fantasma Callichirus major del Atlántico sudoccidental

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2011
Species of the family Pinnotheridae constitute an ideal group for morphometric studies due to their complex morphological adaptations. These adaptations respond to the selective pressure of a symbiotic life style. This study describes the relative growth

Factors affecting the body size at maturation of aquatic insects.

Japanese Journal of Limnology (Rikusuigaku Zasshi), 1990
Body size at maturation of aquatic insects differs individually or between populations. In this review, variations in the body size at maturity (a total of 112 examples) are classified into six categories ; intra-cohort, seasonal, annual, inter-habitat, and geographic variations, and those observed under experimental conditions.
