There is increasing interest in the potential impacts that fishing activities have on megafaunal benthic invertebrates occurring in continental shelf and slope ecosystems. We examined how the structure, size, and high-density aggregations of invertebrates provided structural relief for fishes in continental shelf and slope ecosystems off southern California. We made 112 dives in a submersible a...

Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii is a slowly growing photochromogenic mycobacterium and fish pathogen isolated from wild marine fishes. M. pseudoshottsii closely resembles M. marinum, which is a human and animal pathogen. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of M. pseudoshottsii strain JCM15466, originally isolated from striped bass, Morone saxatilis.

Three new prenylated phenols, sporochnols A, B and C, have been isolated from the Caribbean marine alga Sporochnus bolleanus. The structures of these new compounds were determined by spectral and chemical methods. Sporochnol A, the major metabolite, showed significant feeding deterrence toward herbivorous fishes, thus suggesting this compound functions in chemical defence.

Accurate estimates of reproductive parameters important in understanding life history evolution and conservation small fishes are dependent upon careful assignment ovarian phases. Proper is based the stages propagule (oocyte) development, oocyte maturation location any clutch or portion thereof within ovaries. Macroscopic inspection developmental phases have often been used for freshwater fishe...

Marine birnavirus (MBVs) infect a wide range of fish and shellfish. Yet their mode of transmission is still unclear. To determine marine plankton serve as a vector for MABVs. The marine birnavirus (MABVs) is a member of Aquabirnavirus and an opportunistic pathogenic form among eukaryotic marine organisms and determine the viral presence in zooplankton as a vector, molecular diagnosis can be use...
