The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque) ovary (CCO) cell line is the standard cell line used for channel catfish diagnostics. Next-gen sequencing studies of a virus cultured in the CCO cells revealed mitochondrial sequences matching those of brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus, Lesueur). Therefore, we systematically performed partial cytochrome oxidase 1 gene sequencing of several sources of the CCO cell line and all matched the brown bullhead and not the channel catfish.

The Weberian apparatus is a hearing specialization unique to the otophysan fishes, and an unexpected degree of morphological variation exists in species of the Noturus catfishes. Our aim in this study is to investigate relationships between morphological variations and ecology that may drive this variation. Sampling 48 specimens representing 25 species, we investigated morphological diversity and accounted for ecological variables using landmark-based 3D geometric morphometrics and x-ray-based computed tomography (CT) images.

During 2021 through 2023, the golden mussel and freshwater fishes were sampled from 28 sites in the Tone River system, Japan, and adult trematodes of were found in the fishes. Molecular and morphological analyses based on 28S rDNA and the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region revealed the trematode as '', previously reported in Mainland China and likely introduced to Japan.

Industrial expansion and population growth have lowered water quality, polluting aquatic ecosystems world-wide. Metal pollution in the rivers across the United States are a major health concern. The level of metal contamination in fish from the Lower Mississippi River Basin and their threat to public health were last evaluated 20 years ago.

Microplastic contamination in the St. Lawrence River and Estuary (SLRE), Canada, poses potential risks to aquatic species. However, limited understanding of microplastic contamination in benthic fish, potentially more vulnerable than pelagic species, impedes effective risk assessment in this crucial ecosystem.
