Otolith chemistry suggests population heterogeneity within a genetically homogeneous Indian scad population along Indian coast.

The Indian scad, Decapterus russelli is one of the most exploited pelagic resources of India. Population genetic analyses using mitochondrial and nuclear markers indicated a lack of genetic structuring among populations from Indian waters. As this species is highly migratory, it is also important to establish the environmental influence on its population structure.

Population genetic structure of Randall's threadfin bream Nemipterus randalli in Indian waters based on mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences.

Nemipterus randalli, commonly known as Randall's threadfin bream, is a commercially important marine finfish. Understanding its genetic structure is critical to effective management and conservation efforts. Previous investigations on population structure in this species were limited by geographic coverage.

Genetic analyses reveal panmixia in Indian waters and population subdivision across Indian Ocean and Indo-Malay Archipelago for Decapterus russelli.

The Indian Scad, Decapterus russelli is an important pelagic carangid widely distributed throughout the Indian Ocean and the Indo-West Pacific. Despite being widely distributed in the Indian Ocean, the information regarding genetic structuring and diversity has been lacking compared to its Indo Malay Archipelago counterparts. The present study was conducted to investigate the genetic stock structure of D.

A new species of six-gilled hagfish (Myxinidae: Eptatretus) from the Lakshadweep Sea.

A new species of hagfish, Eptatretus wadgensis sp. nov., is described from the Wadge Bank, Lakshadweep Sea, India, obtained from a depth of ~250300 m through deep-sea trawling.

Comparative mitogenomics and phylogenetics of the family Carangidae with special emphasis on the mitogenome of the Indian Scad Decapterus russelli.

Carangids are abundant and commercially important marine fish that contribute to a significant portion of the fisheries in many parts of the world. In the present study, we characterized the complete mitogenome of the Indian scad, Decapterus russelli and performed a comprehensive comparative mitogenomic analysis of the family Carangidae. The comparative mitogenomics provided valuable insights into the structure, variability, and features of the coding and non-coding regions that evolved across species over millions of years.

A new deep-water species of snake eel, Xyrias anjaalai sp. nov. (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae), from the Western Indian Ocean.

A new species of snake eel Xyrias anjaalai sp. nov. (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae) is described from morphological analysis of 12 specimens and molecular analysis of four specimens, caught off Kollam, Kerala, southwestern India, by deep-sea trawling.
