Spatio-temporal dynamics of exotic fish species in the Mediterranean Sea: Over a century of invasion reconstructed. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 Between 1896 and 2020, a total of 188 fish species entered the Mediterranean Sea, mainly from the Suez Canal, but also from other human‐mediated vectors and from the Straits of Gibraltar. Cumulative occurrences, reported in 264 distribution maps, documented this phenomenon, which increased steeply after 1990, without a sign of saturation.

DNA barcoding, identification, and validation of the pufferfish (Order: Tetraodontiformes) in China coastal waters. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, 616 samples of Tetraodontiformes were identified by using morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding technology. It provided molecular evidence for clarifying the valid species names of L. spadiceus and T. rubripes. The results can provide reliable DNA barcoding information for the identification and classification of ...

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract As the world develops sources of renewable energy, there is an intensifying interest in offshore wind energy production. The Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf (NES) ecosystem has favorable wind dynamics, with active development of wind energy.

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Climate change can affect the habitat of marine species and hence their persistence and adaptation. Trends in area of occurrence and population biomass were examined for 177 fish and macroinvertebrates resident to the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem. Samples of these organisms were taken during a time series of research bottom trawl

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 2272-2285, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Conservation efforts have traditionally addressed the threat of biodiversity loss by prioritizing regions and habitats with high endemic species richness. However, species‐poor habitats often harbour distinct, valuable and/or functionally unique species that contribute to regional diversity.

Connectivity of coastal and neritic fish larvae to the deep waters
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 2423-2441, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Four ichthyoplankton cruises and backward tracking experiments were conducted to study the connectivity of coastal and neritic fish larvae over the continental slope and to the oceanic deep‐water region of the western Gulf of Mexico. Distribution patterns of larval abundance at oceanic stations showed higher abundance and the presence of ...

Seasonal changes of fish assemblages in a subtropical lagoon in the SE Gulf of California. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2014 The composition and seasonal changes of the fish assemblage in a coastal lagoon system in southeastern Gulf of California were assessed from December 2001 to July 2005. A total of 20,877 organisms belonging to 191 species and 47 families were analyzed. We determined that almost all the species inhabiting the system were found; however some rare species

Sustainable aquaculture requires environmental‐friendly treatment strategies for fish diseases
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 943-965, May 2020., 2020 Abstract Many classical therapeutants are going to be banned in Europe, and an urgent need for alternatives is emerging. This issue can be exemplified by one major parasitic disease in aquaculture and ornamental fish breeding: velvet disease. This disease, caused by dinoflagellates of the genera Amyloodinium and Piscinoodinium, is an important ...

Multidecadal shifts in fish community diversity across a dynamic biogeographic transition zone
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 93-107, January 2020., 2020 Abstract Aim A 21‐year fisheries‐independent monitoring dataset was used to explore fish community diversity across a latitudinal gradient to quantify how diversity has changed and relate those changes in diversity to changes in the abiotic environment.

Ichthyofauna Used in Traditional Medicine in Brazil
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Fish represent the group of vertebrates with the largest number of species and the largest geographic distribution; they are also used in different ways by modern civilizations. The goal of this study was to compile the current knowledge on the use of ichthyofauna in zootherapeutic practices in Brazil, including ecological and conservational commentary
