Since their inception, DNA barcodes have become a powerful tool for understanding the
biodiversity and biology of aquatic species, with multiple applications in diverse fields such …

We review ichthyoplankton research history in Indonesia, which began when HC Delsman
conducted studies on fish larvae and eggs in the northern Java region (1921–1938). The …

Seagrass beds provide nursery habitats for marine species. Seagrass leaves, in particular,
are used as spawning grounds and as a food source for fish and invertebrates, but direct …

Genetic data is very important as the basis for fisheries management and conservation
related to connectivity between regions and population structure. White snapper Fish is one …

Morphological identification of gastropods can be difficult considering the larva of species
and high similarity among the same genera. DNA barcoding has been widely used in …

Identification of fish larvae based on morphology is typically limited to higher taxonomic
ranks (eg, family or order), as larvae possess few morphological diagnostic characters for …

Fish larvae supply in nearshore vegetated habitats, such as seagrass meadows and
mangroves, contributes significantly to sustainable fish stocks. Yet, little information is …

Background Mangroves are tropical and subtropical intertidal forests colonising sheltered
coasts across the world. They host a unique faunal community, dominated by brachyuran …

Fish early-stages constitute useful indicators of the states of marine ecosystems, as well as
important fishery resources. Given the spectacular phenotypic changes during ontogeny …

Larval descriptions of tropical marine and coastal fishes are very few, and this taxonomic
problem is further exacerbated by the high diversity of fish species in these waters …
