Brain Morphology and Quantitative Assessment of Sensory Brain Areas in Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Scombridae, Teleostei). [PDF]
J Comp NeurolThe absolute and relative volume of major sensory and integrative brain regions of the southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii are examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A dominant cerebellum projects into the midbrain ventricular space, while the optic tectum represents a smaller proportion of total brain volume than previously estimated ...

Environmental and human factors shape the trophic ecology of a widespread marine predator. [PDF]
J Anim EcolOur study reveals how environmental factors and fishing pressure influence swordfish diet, highlighting trophic shifts under future climate scenarios. We provide a novel framework to strengthen our ability to plan for and manage the redistribution of species under global change ensuring that the energetic needs of predators are met.

Evaluation of the Nutritional Quality of the Five Commercial Fish Species From the Persian Gulf From Human Health Perspective. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrBased on the findings of this study, the best protein quality related to N. japonicus with an EAA index of 75.92. P. indicus has the best lipid quality due to the high ratio of ω‐3/ω‐6 (1.68) and PI (7.02). The abundant trace elements in all five fish species, K, Ca, Fe, and Zn, as well as these fish species, have good nutritional quality based on Na/K
