Tiny new catfish species found in Rio Paraíba do Sul basin, Brazil
A new diminutive species of catfish was found in Rio Paraíba do Sul basin in Brazil. The genus to which the new Pareiorhina hyptiorhachis belongs represents a group of species endemic to Brazil. Although the new species is only around 3 cm in length it is still larger than the smallest catfish that is only 1 cm when sexually mature. The study was published in the open access journal Zookeys.

Japan, China and South Korea account for 84 percent of the macroalgae patents
The algae, traditionally cultivated for the food sector, are accessible marine resources as they grow in coastal areas. These crops increase by 7.5 percent on average every year and have become an important part of marine aquaculture through the diversification of demand for products based on macroalgae for bioenergy, cosmetics and biomedicine.

Glimpse into the future of acidic oceans shows ecosystems transformed
In the waters surrounding Castello Aragonese, a 14th century castle off the coast of Italy, volcanic vents naturally release bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, creating different levels of acidity among the marine-animal and plant communities there. These gradients of acidity gave UC Davis scientists a glimpse of what a future marked by increasingly acidic ocean waters could look like, and how the creatures and plants living in those environments may react to it.
