The previously available coding region for the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) AQP3-2 gene was amplified from cDNAs using PCR. Agarose gel electrophoresis gave a band of the AQP3-2 coding region, as well as multiple smaller splice variant bands. Th...
S. sphyraena is a widely distributed species with low commercial value and no sufficient scientific knowledge of its biology. In the present study, the age, growth, weight–length relationship, otolith morphometry, and reproduction of the specie...
The sea bivalve clam Tridacna crocea inhabiting the shallow sea of tropical and subtropical zones lives with the symbiotic alga zooxanthella in its mantle. Zooxanthellae algae perform photosynthesis and supply nutrients to T. crocea. Recently, the ab...
The evaluation of mitochondrial DNA and genetic analysis is helpful for economically significant species. Clarias gariepinus is a critical species in aquaculture. This study investigates the genetic diversity and population differentiation of C. gari...
Over the course of industrialization in the 20th century, vast emissions of air pollutants have occurred. The exhaust gasses contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which are converted to sulfuric acid and nitric acid in the atmosphere. This causes acid...
Salmonid fishes provide an important indicator of climate change given their reliance on cold water. We evaluated temporal changes in the density of stream-dwelling brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) from surveys conducted over a 36-year period (198...
Freshwater slugs are scarce and belong exclusively to panpulmonate Acochlidimorpha. There is a radiation of eight species of large-sized slugs living benthically in rivers on tropical Indo-Pacific Islands. In the Western Atlantic, only one small inte...
