Otolith microchemistry reveals diverse habitat uses and migratory patterns of two Coilia species (Engraulidae) in the Min River Estuary, southern China.

A recent study based on gonad histology revealed that the existence of the spawning grounds for Gray's grenadier anchovy (Coilia grayii) and Osbeck's grenadier anchovy (C. mystus) in the Min River Estuary, the largest in Fujian Province, southern China. Further confirming their natal sources and migratory patterns is essential to understand their life histories.

Littoral Water in Hong Kong as a Potential Transient Habitat for Juveniles of a Temperate Deepwater Gnomefish, (Acropomatiformes: Scombropidae).

A total of 40 juveniles belonging to a temperate deepwater gnomefish species, , were sampled from littoral habitats (2-5 m depth) of eastern Hong Kong waters in April and May 2017 and March 2019. The presence of gnomefish juveniles in subtropical southern China is reported for the first time at a record low latitude of 22°11'-22°21'N. The specimens were identified based on the gene sequence.

Complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of a new species, (Perciformes: Sciaenidae) from Chinese waters.
