The natural population size of M. shrinking recent years because overfishing habitat loss. In order to clarify the genetic diversity differentiation populations, we collected 114 samples from eight populations Vietnam analyzed their structure using nuclear ribosomal DNA...

The anatomy of the peripheral olfactory apparatus (i.e. olfactory lamellae, olfactorychambers, accessory nasal sacs, olfactory nerve tracts, olfactory bulbs and brain) of some teleosts, viz. Pseudapocryptes lanceolatus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) - an air breathing mudskipper, Lepidocephalichthys guntea (Hamilton, 1822) - a freshwater scavenger fish and Mastacembelus armatus (Lacepède, 1800) - ...

Lake Tanganyika is a globally important lake with high endemic biodiversity. Millions of people in the lake basin depend on several fish species for consumption. Due to the importance of fish consumption as an exposure route of mercury to humans, we sampled Lake Tanganyika in 2000 to assess total mercury concentrations and biomagnification of total mercury through the food web. Stable nitrogen ...
