AI Article Synopsis
- The mitochondrial genomes of the Pacific red snapper (Lutjanus peru) and spotted rose snapper (Lutjanus gutattus) show similarities to other fish and members of the Lutjanidae family.
- The genome lengths are approximately 16,502 bp for Lutjanus peru and 16,508 bp for L. gutattus, with an average base composition of A (27.9%), T (24.8%), C (30.9%), and G (16.4%).
- Both species contain 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes, including a duplicated leucine tRNA.
Article Abstract
The structure of the mitochondrial genome for the Pacific red snapper, Lutjanus peru, and the spotted rose snapper, Lutjanus gutattus, of specimens collected in the eastern Pacific is similar to the reported for other teleosts and shares the same configuration with other members of the family Lutjanidae. It has a total length of 16 502 and 16 508 base pairs (bp) for Lutjanus peru and L. gutattus, respectively; on average the base composition was A (27.9%), T (24.8%) C (30.9%), and G (16.4%), containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes; and the leucine (Leu) tRNA is duplicated.

A chromosome-anchored reference assembly for the gray snapper, Lutjanus griseus.
Mol Biol Rep

Background: The gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus) is a marine reef fish commonly found in coastal and shelf waters of the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic Ocean. In this work, a draft reference genome was developed to support population genomic studies of gray snapper needed to assist with conservation and fisheries management efforts.
Methods And Results: Hybrid assembly of PacBio and Illumina sequencing reads yielded a 1,003,098,032 bp reference across 2039 scaffolds with N50 and L50 values of 1,691,591 bp and 163 scaffolds, respectively.
Mitochondrial control region sequences show high genetic connectivity in the brownstripe snapper, (Quoy and Gaimard, 1824) from the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

The Brownstripe Snapper, (Quoy and Gaimard, 1824) is a commercially important snapper extensively caught in Malaysia. We examined genetic diversity, population connectivity, and historical demographics of the , off the eastern coast of peninsular Malaysia based on an 817 bp region of the mtDNA control region sequences. Maximum likelihood gene trees demonstrated that the populations under study had limited structuring and formed a single panmictic population that lacks support for internal clades.

Malabar snapper () is an economically important marine fish throughout the Indo-Pacific, with an emerging aquaculture industry. Although generic marine feeds are available for production, these are not optimised for this species. Understanding energy utilisation and balance can provide insight into suitable macronutrient profiles for new species to provide a baseline for future development.

Electronic address:
The transportation of fish larvae or juveniles from hatcheries to rearing farms is a crucial process in aquaculture, as most fish farms are located far from hatcheries. Among abiotic parameters, light intensity is an important factor affecting the physiology and biochemistry of teleost fish. To date, most studies on fish transportation have focused on identifying the optimum stocking density, while little is known about the optimum light intensity for transporting hatchery-produced juvenile Crimson snapper (Lutjanus erythropterus).

Article Synopsis
- The newly described alpheid shrimp, Automate isabelae, was initially identified from stomach contents of lane snapper in Florida.
- A. isabelae is reported for the first time in the south-western Atlantic from Araçá Bay, Brazil, marking a significant expansion of its known distribution.
- The study includes a first-time illustration of A. isabelae's color pattern and compares it to its related species, A. rugosa, highlighting key differences.
