There are, however, substantial disparities between this species' global conservation status and those of some local populations, with the Northeast Atlantic representing a relative stronghold for this species. However, several areas of uncertainty, particularly regarding individual movement patterns, currently hamper region-specific conservation efforts. Therefore, utilising capture-mark-recapture tagging data, collected predominantly by recreational anglers in Ireland - but with recaptures throughout the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean - we investigated regional population structure, spatial segregation and individual movement patterns, and estimated sex-specific individual growth rates. This revealed a marked pattern of sexual segregation, with females residing further south than males overall, and with an Irish-specific trend towards male-dominated catches in Atlantic regions versus more even sex ratios in the Irish and Celtic Seas. Recapture timings and locations suggest that female movements are more strongly driven by seasonal water temperatures changes, being broadly in line with the north-south migratory paradigm. Spatiotemporal overlap of mature individuals suggests that the North Channel, Irish Sea and northern Celtic Sea may constitute a key mating area. Female sharks may utilise southerly regions during gestation, with the presence of young-of-the-year indicating that the Irish Sea and neighbouring regions subsequently act as parturition/nursery areas. Our results demonstrate the value of such long-term programmes, in this case facilitated by citizen science, in identifying broad-scale movement patterns in wide-ranging species and specific regions of interest for further study and/or implementation of targeted conservation measures.</p>","PeriodicalId":15794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fish biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to understand the feeding behaviours of the roosterfish by analysing the stomach content (SCA) and performing bulk stable isotope analysis (BSIA). The study also seeks to identify ontogenetic changes in its feeding habits and habitat preferences. To achieve this, 505 stomachs and 165 muscle samples were analysed in three locations in Baja California Sur (Cabo San Lucas, La Paz and Puerto San Carlos) between 2010 and 2017. The SCA determined that the diet consisted mainly of fish from the families Carangidae, Engraulidae and Clupeidae, which together constituted almost 50% of the total diet. Statistical differences in diet composition were found by size class but not by sex or the interaction between these variables. Concerning BSIA, there were no significant differences between males and females; however, differences were observed in the 'undifferentiated sex' grouping, which was comprised largely small juvenile individuals. Concerning size, BSIA values were correlated with roosterfish fork length, so the observed differences for the 'undifferentiated sex' category were related to size variation rather than sexual maturity. The findings from this study suggest that roosterfish experience an ontogenetic increase in trophic position, relying less on sardine-like species as they grow. Furthermore, BSIA values could inform on relative residency of the roosterfish to the Baja California peninsula.</p>","PeriodicalId":15794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fish biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The plankton-feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM) along its body trunk and elevated (white) muscle temperatures. However, key anatomical features essential for classification as a regional endotherm, such as the presence of vascular rete mirabile, could not be confirmed in this cold-water giant. This study compared the morphology of heat-generating and heat-retaining tissues - associated with skeletal RM, the cranium and viscera - in the basking shark with those of a confirmed regional endotherm, the porbeagle (Lamna nasus), and a polar ectotherm, the Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus). Despite the presence of more medial RM in the basking shark's trunk, the absence of paired lateral vessels and a perfusing rete strongly suggests a lack of RM endothermy in this species. However, the presence of small arterial plexuses in the orbit, along with the discovery of visceral retia associated with the stomach, spleen and valvular intestine, in addition to distinct vascular arrangements in the liver and kidney, indicates potential for cranial and, particularly, visceral endothermy in C. maximus. These specializations, combined with reduced conductive heat loss from partial RM internalization and large body size, may enable C. maximus to maintain regionally elevated body temperatures, facilitating their active lifestyle also in cold-water environments. Enhanced sensory perception and digestive efficiency may aid prey acquisition and processing in the dimly lit meso- and bathypelagic zones, as well as high-latitude regions. Our findings provide initial insights into the thermal adaptations of these circum-globally distributed, highly migratory ram filter feeders.

This study aims to investigate the expression patterns and potential functions of the Bmp4 in Pampus argenteus during its reproductive cycle. A systematic evolutionary analysis of the Bmp4 was performed, and its expression was quantified and localized using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, the effects of various hormones on hormone-related genes were analysed in vitro using cultured testes, ovaries and oocytes. The results revealed that Bmp4 is evolutionarily conserved and broadly expressed across tissues. Notably, its expression significantly increased at 4 and 13 days post-hatching (dph), with no significant differences observed at other developmental stages. Western blotting identified a specific Bmp4 target band in Stage III ovaries, and immunohistochemistry localized Bmp4 expression in oogonia, oocytes and spermatogonia. In vitro hormonal treatments demonstrated that oestradiol (E2) significantly upregulated bmp4 expression in both testes and ovaries, with expression levels being notably higher in ovaries. In immature vitellogenic oocytes cultured in vitro, sex hormone treatments did not significantly affect the expression of bmp4, lhr, fshr and lhβ. However, under LH + hCG treatment (50 ng/mL and 5 IU/mL), the expression of fshβ was upregulated. In summary, our findings reveal that Bmp4 serves as a pivotal factor in the early development of the gonads and germ cells in P. argenteus. The expression of Bmp4 within the ovary is likely regulated by E2. During the early-stage development of the ovary, E2 and Bmp4 may jointly promote the early-stage development and differentiation of germ cells.

The American elephantfish Callorhinchus callorynchus is targeted and retained as incidental catch in commercial and recreational fisheries in Chile and Argentina. Its wide-ranging distribution across southern South America may require transnational co-operation to ensure sustainable use, but its current population structure is not known. In this work, we analysed the levels of genetic diversity and differentiation within C. callorynchus in South America using two mitochondrial markers, the control region (CR) and the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (CO1). Moreover, we assessed levels of genetic diversity within, and divergence among, the three extant callorhinchids (genus Callorhinchus), a group that exhibits allopatric geographical distributions in the southern hemisphere. Overall, sequence analyses of the mitochondrial CR and the CO1 revealed extremely low levels of sequence variation both within and among Callorhinchus species. Genetic homogeneity was found throughout the range of C. callorynchus coupled to low-frequency haplotype sharing across spatially distant locations in Chile and Argentina, suggesting gene flow along the South American coast. Moreover, our analyses supported a scenario of recent population expansion of the species in South America. Given the absence of dispersive eggs or juvenile stages in chondrichthyans, gene flow is mainly mediated by actively swimming adults. Based on the available data, gene flow in callorhinchids appears to occur along continuous coastal regions, with deep oceanic waters serving as strong barriers.

Maturation depends on internal and external factors (temperature, photoperiod, feed availability, energy levels, body size, genetic background) that act on the brain-pituitary-gonad axis to trigger maturation. This study assessed the influence that the body weight at the time of the photoperiod manipulation performed to induce smoltification can have on early maturation or smoltification. For that, 900 parr (41.3 ± 3.7 g) were assigned to four size-photoperiod treatments: constant light (LL), a winter signal (5-week LD12:12) starting when fish was 70.0 ± 8.4 g (70WS), a similar winter signal at 114 ± 9.9 g (110WS) and at 182.9 ± 35.7 g (180WS).

In addition, pituitary messenger RNA (mRNA) transcription of tshβb (a paralog of the thyrotropin thyroid-stimulating hormone) was analysed to investigate its potential role in the regulation of any of the two processes. Results evidenced that body size of male salmon was relevant for the developmental response to a winter signal, be it maturation or smoltification. An early winter signal (70WS and 110WS) induced clearer signs of smoltification (reduced condition factor, high energy mobilization and little stress response in seawater among others) and no tendency to mature early. In contrast, a late or no winter signal (180WS and LL) induced a strong stress response in seawater, poor morphological signs of smolting and energy mobilization, and a higher tendency to mature early. It was difficult to directly relate pituitary tshβb transcription with both smoltification or maturation, because this gene seemed to act primarily as a timekeeper displaying large upregulations in response to increases in daylength (irrespective of size) but no changes under constant light. These results evidence that an increase in daylength when salmon is large enough to have developed sufficiently or accrued energy resources may pose high risk that a proportion of them prioritize sexual maturation over smoltification.
