The Mugilogobius group consists of brackish water gobionellines widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region. Complete mitochondrial genome and morphological evidence was collected to estimate their phylogenetic relationship and taxonomic status. A total of 11 genera were sampled, including Brachygobius, Calamiana, Hemigobius, Mugilogobius, Pandaka, Pseudogobiopsis, Pseudogobius, Redigobius, Rhinogobius, Stigmatogobius, and Wuhanlinigobius, five of which were sequenced for the first time. A morphological phylogenetic tree was also reconstructed based on 35 characters. The molecular phylogenetic trees reveal that the Mugilogobius group contains four major clades. The present study also reveals that the adult male mouth size and forked sensory papillae row d can be considered as synapomorphies, and that the head pores on inter-orbital, anterior oculoscapular, and preopercular regions can be regarded as derived features among the Mugilogobius group. Furthermore, the absence of posterior oculoscapular pores may provide a clue for understanding the evolutionary history of the Mugilogobius group.

Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs) are a class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds that are widely distributed throughout the marine environment and sediment. These compounds share structural and toxicity similarities with dioxins. However, our understanding of the toxicological effects of PHCZs on marine organisms and their underlying molecular mechanisms remains limited.

Toxicity assessments of pollutants often overlook the impact of environmental factors like hypoxia, which can alter chemical toxicity with unexpected consequences. In this study, Mugilogobius chulae, an estuarine fish, was used to investigate the effects of hypoxia (H), aspirin (ASA), and their combination (H_ASA) exposure over 24, 72, and 168 h. We employed RNA-seq analysis, expression of key gene expression profiling, enzymatic activity assays, and histopathological and ultrastructural examinations of liver tissue to explore the effects and mechanisms of ASA-coupled hypoxia exposure in fish.

Gobiids are widespread invasive species, with many species from this group usually invade into the same ecosystem simultaneously. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the coexi-stence of different gobiid species in the sympatric habitats is a key issue in fish invasion ecology. Incorporating morphological analyses, spatial distribution survey, and trophic analyses, we examined the coexistence strategy of and related species (the earlier invaders) in Dianchi Lake, Yunnan, China.

An enormous amount of oil-containing drill cuttings have been produced by the marine oil and gas industry. The environmental impacts of discharged drilling waste have been extensively studied. However, there is still an urgent need to develop alternative methods to identify the genotoxicity of untreated and treated drill waste in a timely manner before it is discharged.

The environmental changes mainly caused by water pollution and human activities have dramatically threatened the survival of the small-scaled Wu's goby . In the present study, the complete mitogenome of was determined, which is 16,496 bp in length, containing 13 PCGs, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a putative control region. The overall base composition is 28.
