The University of Washington's marine field station, the Friday Harbor Laboratories (FHL), has been a center for diverse biological research for over 100 years. The facility is a complete mini-campus ...
A new species of Calicotyle (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) is described from three deepwater catshark species (Elasmobranchii: Pentanchidae) collected off Iceland. Calicotyle carmenae n. sp. is diagnosed ...
Levels of cadmium, copper, mercury, lead and zinc in fish from the Mexican Pacific are of interest because they are marine resources of great commercial value and high human consumption. To determine ...
