TL;DR: This work proposes the adoption of a simple, universal terminology for the phases in the reproductive cycle, which can be applied to all male and female elasmobranch and teleost fishes, and includes immature, developing, spawning capable, regressing, and regenerating.

TL;DR: This special section of Marine and Coastal Fisheries contains contributions from a workshop on the gonadal histology of fishes that was held in Cadiz, Spain, during June 2009, and suggests needs for future research and integration of reproductive data into both conceptual and quantitative models to better understand how reproductive performance affects population dynamics.

TL;DR: Screening of different taxa of the arthropod phylum for Cu,ZnSOD activity shows that those crustaceans that use haemoglobin for oxygen transport have retained cytCu,ZNSOD, which appears to be part of an adaptive response to the dynamic, haemocyanin-linked, fluctuations in copper metabolism during the moulting cycle of the crab.

TL;DR: Data is presented indicating that chronic exposure to low levels of AgNP induces significant adverse effects in both juvenile and adult sheepshead minnows (Cyprinodon variegarus; SHMs), resulting in significant thickening of epithelia gill tissue and in dramatically altered gene expression profiles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reproductive biology of the cobia, Rachycentron canadum, is de-scribed from four coastal areas in the southern United States, including the southeastern United States (Morehead City, NC, to Cape Canaveral, FL), the eastern Gulf of Mexico (Ft. Myers to Crystal River, FL).
