Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in the Arctic: A case study with sub-surface water and fish samples off Northeast Greenland.
Silvia Morgana,Laura Ghigliotti,Noelia Estévez-Calvar,Roberto Stifanese,Alina Wieckzorek,Thomas K. Doyle,Jørgen S. Christiansen,Marco Faimali,Francesca Garaventa +8 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the presence of microplastics in sub-surface water and in two mid-trophic level Arctic fishes collected off Northeast Greenland shows that the Arctic regions are turning into a hotspot for plastic pollution, and this calls urgently for precautionary measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nursery area for the Antarctic silverfish Pleuragramma antarcticum at Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea): first estimate of distribution and abundance of eggs and larvae under the seasonal sea-ice
Marino Vacchi,Arthur L. DeVries,Clive W. Evans,Massimiliano Bottaro,Laura Ghigliotti,Laura Cutroneo,Eva Pisano +6 more
TL;DR: The present results add information on life cycle and hatching period of the Antarctic silverfish and confirm the importance of the Terra Nova Bay as a nursery area for this important species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gross morphology and histology of the olfactory organ of the Greenland shark Somniosus microcephalus
Sara Ferrando,Lorenzo Gallus,Laura Ghigliotti,Marino Vacchi,Julius Nielsen,Jørgen S. Christiansen,Eva Pisano +6 more
TL;DR: The structure of the olfactory rosette suggests a well-developed Olfactory capability for the Greenland shark coherent with a bentho-pelagic lifestyle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary Folds Contribute Significantly to the Total Surface Area in the Olfactory Organ of Chondrichthyes.
Sara Ferrando,Andrea Amaroli,Lorenzo Gallus,Stefano Aicardi,Davide Di Blasi,Jørgen S. Christiansen,Marino Vacchi,Laura Ghigliotti +7 more
TL;DR: A principal component analysis elucidates the possible ecological role and phylogenetic relationship of the chondrichthyan olfactory organ and describes the shape of the secondary folds and evaluates how they contribute to the epithelial surface area.
Journal ArticleDOI
The two giant sister species of the Southern Ocean, Dissostichus eleginoides and Dissostichus mawsoni, differ in karyotype and chromosomal pattern of ribosomal RNA genes
Laura Ghigliotti,F. Mazzei,Catherine Ozouf-Costaz,Céline Bonillo,R. Williams,C.-H. Christina Cheng,Eva Pisano +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors karyotyped two giant notothenioid species, the Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides and the Antarctic toothfish D. mawsoni, by analyzing specimens collected from multiple Antarctic and sub-Antarctic sites.
