Ultrastructure and Immunocytochemistry of the Islet Organ of Osteoglossomorpha (Teleostei) [PDF]
Both routine electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry with protein A-gold were used to identify the cell types within the islet organs of four species of teleosts (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum, Pantodon buchholzi, Notopterus chitala, and Gnathonemus petersii) within Osteoglossomorpha, a subdivision with an ancient lineage.

Post-testicular sperm maturation in ancient holostean species
Fish speciation was accompanied by changes in the urogenital system anatomy. In evolutionarily modern Teleostei, male reproductive tracts are fully separated from the excretory system, while in evolutionarily ancient Chondrostei and Holostei, the ...

Food‐webs are a major component of ecosystems and determinant for their functioning and structure. The food chain length (FCL) is a key feature of food‐webs and it is crucial for the resistance of the community to external stressors. The Southern Ocean (SO) food‐web is known for being short and dominated by an Antarctic krill Euphausia superba surplus,

Trophic ecology of groundfishes in nearshore areas of the Gulf of Maine
Abstract Ecosystem management requires an integrated understanding of ecological interactions. In the Gulf of Maine (GoM), trophic information pertaining to commercially important groundfishes and nearshore prey communities is lacking. We characterized nearshore communities and groundfish diets using data collected from nearshore surveys (864 bottom ...
