Modern cartilaginous fishes are divided into elasmobranchs (sharks, rays and skates) and
chimaeras, and the lack of established whole-genome sequences for the former has …

Despite the absence of a conspicuous microtubule-organizing centre, microtubules in plant
cells at interphase are present in the cell cortex as a well oriented array 1 , 2 . A recent report …

We examined the involvement of mitochondria-rich (MR) cells in ion uptake through gill
epithelia in freshwater-adapted killifish Fundulus heteroclitus, by morphological observation of …

Biosynthesis of salmon gonadotropins, GTH I and GTH II, during ovarian development, were
examined by means of in situ hybridization histochemistry and indirect immunocytochemistry…

The physiological roles of neurohypophysial hormones, vasotocin (VT) and isotocin (IT), are
not yet clear in teleosts. Since information on responsiveness of hypothalamic …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used to noninvasively monitor aquatic animals
in freshwater and coastal areas. However, the use of eDNA in the open ocean (hereafter …

Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are key links to nutritional
condition and growth regulation in teleost. To understand the endocrine mechanism of growth …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly popular as a useful non-invasive method to monitor
and study biodiversity and community structure in freshwater and marine environments. …

The neurohypophysial peptides of the vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) families regulate
salt and water homeostasis and reproduction through distinct G protein-coupled receptors. …

As the intestine is an essential organ for fish osmoregulation, the intestinal hormone guanylins
may perform major functions, especially in euryhaline fish such as eels and salmonids. …
