Interplay between behavior, morphology and physiology supports lepidophagy in the catfish Pachypterus khavalchor (Siluriformes: Horabagridae).
TLDR
The present study demonstrates the scale-eating behavior of a siluroid catfish, Pachypterus khavalchor, and the role of its oral structure and bacterial endosymbionts in shaping this lepidophagous habit and two isolates were found to be capable of producing chitinase indicating that they are likely to be involved in the digestion of chitIn-rich scales in the host fish gut.About:

Structural adequacy of the digestive tract supports dual feeding habit in catfish Pachypterus khavalchor (Siluriformes: Horabagridae)
TL;DR: The data indicates that though P. khavalchor predominantly feeds on scale, the digestive physiology is adapted to support dual feeding habit (lepidophagy and carnivory) and is further supported by the osteological observations.

Assessing the sustainability of lepidophagous catfish, Pachypterus khavalchor (Kulkarni, 1952), from a tropical river Panchaganga, Maharashtra, India
TL;DR: Investigation of population dynamics of catfish species, Pachypterus khavalchor, which is data-deficient species inhabiting the Western Ghats of India and forms an important component of freshwater inland fishery, providing nutritional and financial security to the local community finds the stock may be in near full exploitation under the current harvesting strategy.

Surprising spatiotemporal stability and frequency-independence across multiple fitness peaks driving adaptive radiation in the wild
TL;DR: The striking consistency of this multi-peak fitness landscape across competitive environments, multivariate trait axes, and a previous field experiment provides experimental evidence for stasis, possibly due to fixed biomechanical constraints on organismal performance.

The Reproductive Biology of Pachypterus khavalchor (Kulkarni, 1952) in the Panchaganga River of the Western Ghats, a Biodiversity Hotspot in India
TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 427 fishes were collected monthly from the Panchaganga River to study its reproductive characteristics, including length-weight morphometry, sexual dimorphism, gonad weight, and maturity status.

Developments in the use of Bacillus species for industrial production
TL;DR: Developments from the understanding of the complex protein translocation machinery of Gram-positive bacteria should allow the resolution of current secretion challenges and make Bacillus species preeminent hosts for heterologous protein production.

Bacterial flora of fishes: a review
TL;DR: While obligate anaerobes have been recovered from carp and tilapia intestines, low ambient temperatures may prevent colonization by anaerOBes in species such as rainbow trout.
