The precise detection of genotoxic effects induced by environmental contaminants is an essential part of any genetic toxicology screening programme. Fish, however, provides a sensitive monitor for environmental genotoxicity in aquatic environment. Mugil cephalus genome has now been employed in this study for detection of clastogenic and cellular lesions induced by aquatic contaminants in Abu-Qi...

Cavisoma magnum (Southwell, 1927) Van Cleave, 1931 was originally described from a sea bass, Serranus sp. and spotted surgeonfish, Ctenochaetus strigosus (Perciformes) off Sri Lanka before its more recent redescription from milkfish in the Philippines in 1995. These reports were based on only light infections of their host fishes. Of the few flathead grey mullets, Mugil cephalus (Mugilidae), th...

Abstract Two large predatory catfishes, the Flathead Catfish Pylodictis olivaris and Blue Ictalurus furcatus , have been introduced into multiple U.S. Atlantic slope drainages in recent decades, with concomitant reductions native fish abundance changes faunal community composition. Here, we report on a study of trophic ecology sympatric lower Cape Fear River, North Carolina, to estimate positio...

Abstract In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources changed size and harvest limits for catfishes (Blue Catfish Ictalurus furcatus , Flathead Pylodictis olivaris Channel I. punctatus ) in lower Ohio River to match those neighboring states. The new regulations imposed a daily limit one 88.9‐cm (35‐in) or larger Blue per fisher, 71.1‐cm (28‐in) 33.0‐cm (13‐in) minimum length all specie...
