Finlets, which are small non-retractable fins located on the body margins between the second dorsal and anal fins and the caudal fin of scombrid fishes, have been hypothesized to improve swimming performance. The kinematics of three posterior finlets of the chub mackerel, Scomber japonicus, were examined using three-dimensional measurement techniques to test hypotheses on finlet rigidity and fu...

Se evaluó los microplasticos (MP) presentes en cinco peces de importancia económica el Perú: Sciaena deliciosa (Tschudi, 1846) (Sciaenidae) “lorna”, Isacia conceptionis (Cuvier, 1830) (Haemulidae) “cabinza”, Scartichthys gigas (Steindachner, 1876) (Blenniidae) “borrachito”, Mugil cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mugilidae) “lisa” y Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782) (Scombridae) “caballa”.

Fishery resources play an important role in the national economy and ecological diversity China; it is of great significance to evaluate rationally exploit fishery resources. Most fisheries off coast China are data-limited, as complex assessment models not suitable for its resource assessment. Therefore, data-limited among current research hotspots. In this paper, two new (Bayesian state–space ...

Harnessing information encoded in environmental DNA (eDNA) in marine waters has the potential to revolutionize marine biomonitoring. Whether using organism-specific quantitative PCR assays or metabarcoding in conjunction with amplicon sequencing, scientists have illustrated that realistic organism censuses can be inferred from eDNA. The next step is establishing ways to link information obtaine...
