TL;DR: Haplotype sharing between the east Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra populations revealed extraordinary migration ability of C. striata (>500 km) through ancient connectivity.

TL;DR: The applications of next-generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools to study the molecular evolution of aquatic animals are examined and the current challenges and future perspectives of using bio informatics toward aquatic animal conservation efforts are discussed.

TL;DR: The use of plant or herbal extracts is expected to be safe for aquatic animals and less harmful to the environment, as opposed to conventional therapeutic alternatives such as antibiotics that promote the occurrence of potential antibiotic-resistant bacteria when used improperly as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: High haplotype diversity, “star-like” haplotype network, and unimodal mismatch distribution, suggests a recent population expansion for populations of T. tonggol in Malaysia, and neutrality and goodness of fit tests supported the signature of a relatively recently population expansion during the Pleistocene epoch.

TL;DR: The genetic diversity and structure of the striped snakehead across Malaysia and Sumatra (Indonesia) using the partial mtDNA CO1 gene is explored, providing an important base study for initiating a selective breeding program.
