Fish blood flukes (Digenea: Aporocotylidae) from marine fishes of South Africa, including proposal of a new genus [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeNovel records of marine fish-infecting blood flukes (Aporocotylidae Odhner, 1912) were obtained from several locations across the South African coastline. These constitute the first records of aporocotylid flukes from the region.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the Taiwan tai Argyrops bleekeri (Spariformes: Sparidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023 In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Taiwan tai Argyrops bleekeri was determined for the first time by next-generation sequencing. The circular mtDNA molecule was 16,646 bp in size and the overall base composition was A (27.77%), C (28.

Journal of Morphology, 2009 AbstractIn many fish species, morphological similarity can be considered as a proxy for similarities in habitat use. The Sparidae family includes species that are recognized for common morphological features such as structure and positioning of the fins and specialized dentition.

Development of a method to extract and amplify the complete mitogenome of some Sparidae species
Italian Journal of Food Safety, 2017 Previous studies showed that fish mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is set up by a closed circular molecule of 16-17 kilobases (kb), comprising 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 13 protein-coding genes and 2 non-coding regions.

The Genetically Homogeneous Population Structure of <i>Evynnis cardinalis</i> Along the Chinese Coast Revealed by Whole Genome Sequencing. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Evynnis cardinalis is a warm‐water demersal fish inhabiting the northwestern Pacific coastal waters. Previous studies based on limited molecular markers and morphological traits have yielded inconsistent conclusions regarding its phylogenetic position and population differentiation.
