Geographic Patterns of Intra‐ and Interspecific Diversity of Riverine Fish Species in the Italian Northern Apennines and Ligurian Alps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated the suitability of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to identify inter‐ and intraspecific diversity patterns of riverine fish populations across the Adriatic and Ligurian drainage basins in Northern Italy. Our results revealed genetic as well as community differentiations, with the Adriatic side displaying higher taxon richness ...

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Diet and Conservation Needs of the Chinese Crested Tern and Greater Crested Terns in Zhejiang Breeding Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study employs DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet composition of the critically endangered Chinese crested tern and the greater crested tern during their breeding season in Zhejiang. The terns primarily consume epipelagic schooling fish like anchovies and mackerel, with minimal overlap with commercial fisheries (< 5% commercial fish).

Evaluation of intra- and interspecific divergence of satellite DNA sequences by nucleotide frequency calculation and pairwise sequence comparison [PDF]

, 2003
Satellite DNA sequences are known to be highly variable and to have been subjected to concerted evolution that homogenizes member sequences within species.

Selective Breeding and Production Strategies to Support Snapper Farming in the Warming Waters of New Zealand's South Island

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
Diversifying aquaculture species is essential for building resilience in the face of climate change, particularly as warming oceans challenge existing production systems. In New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, rising sea temperatures are making finfish (e.g.

Three new species of Cucullanus (Nematoda: Cucullanidae) from marine fishes off New Caledonia, with a key to species of Cucullanus from Anguilliformes

Parasite, 2018
Based on light and scanning electron microscopical studies of nematode specimens from the digestive tract of some rarely collected anguilliform and perciform fishes off New Caledonia, three new species of Cucullanus Müller, 1777 (Cucullanidae) are ...

Meeting Livestock Protein and Amino Acids Needs With Edible Insects: A Critical Review

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Comparison of the use of traditional protein sources (soybean meal and fish meal) and insects meal in monogastrics and aquaculture (created in BioRender. Luttenschlager, H. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ndztqxp) ABSTRACT The increasing demand for animal‐based protein has led to biodiversity loss, deforestation, pollution, and extensive land use, mainly ...

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.
