“…In some invertebrate groups such as Polychaeta, with more than 10,000 species described, a total of 65 barcoding studies have been published prior to 2020. Copepoda, which are some of the most abundant organisms in our planet [39], encompassing 14,300 species (World Association of Copepoda; @copepodology), have been targeted by only 87 studies so far, with eight and ten in 2019 and 2020, respectively (Figure 1C), despite the seminal study from Bucklin et al comparing DNA barcodes to the Rosetta stone of marine biodiversity [40]. This trend likely arises from an assortment of shortcomings hindering the development of DNA barcode as a routine survey tool for several groups.…”

Since their inception, DNA barcodes have become a powerful tool for understanding the biodiversity and biology of aquatic species, with multiple applications in diverse fields such as food security, fisheries, environmental DNA, conservation, and exotic species detection. Nevertheless, most aquatic ecosystems, from marine to freshwater, are understudied, with many species disappearing due to environmental stress, mostly caused by human activities. Here we highlight the progress that has been made in studying aquatic organisms with DNA barcodes, and encourage its further development in assisting sustainable use of aquatic resources and conservation.

“…Non‐native species from different taxonomic groups have been recorded in Brazil lately, e.g ., two species of brittle star of the genus Ophiothela (Derviche et al ., 2020; Gomes & Silva, 2020), bivalve species (Gomes & Silva, 2020) and jellyfish (Thé et al ., 2021). Non‐native teleosts have also been found along the Brazilian coast, such as Omobranchus punctatus (Valenciennes, 1836;Blenniidae) (Gerhardinger et al ., 2006), Pterois volitans (Linnaeus, 1758; Scorpaenidae) (Ferreira et al ., 2015), Plectorhinchus macrolepis (Linnaeus, 1758; Haemulidae) belonging to family (Adelir‐Alves et al ., 2019) and Pomacanthus maculosus (Forsskål, 1775; Pomacanthidae) (Soeth et al ., 2018). Taxonomic reviews have confirmed the presence of species Opsanus beta (Goode and Bean, 1880) in Brazilian coastal waters (Caires et al ., 2007) since 2007.…”

Citizen science is an excellent tool in studies of the spatial distribution of non‐native species. In Brazil, Opsanus beta has recently been introduced. Studies indicate the occurrence of this species in five estuaries off the Brazilian coast (Guanabara Bay, Sepetiba Bay, Santos Bay, Paranaguá Estuarine Complex and Guaratuba Bay). The present study aims to understand the dispersion of this species on the Brazilian coast through citizen science. Between January and May 2021, information about O. beta was weekly posted in 32 recreational fishing Facebook groups. Sixty‐five fishers reported catches of O. beta in estuaries (Guanabara Bay, Sepetiba Bay, Santos Bay and Paranaguá Estuarine Complex). In addition, there were reports from other shallow areas outside adjacent estuaries (Bertioga and Peruíbe, in Sao Paulo State) and the first occurrence record for Laguna (Santa Catarina State), a southern estuarine zone (28° 29′ 45″ S to 48° 45′ 36″ W). In four estuaries along the Brazilian coast where O. beta was recorded, there are internal ports that trade with countries from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea (species original range), indicating ballast water as a possible introduction route. In Laguna, the introduction may have occurred by maritime cabotage services. The reproductive capacity, the aquarists' interest, the absence of introduction policies aimed at this species and the cabotage fleet transportation may be factors that help further extend the dispersal of O. beta on the Brazilian coast.

“…In Brazil, the number of marine bioinvasions of several taxa has increased (Ferreira et al 2009, 2015, Bumbeer & Rocha 2016, Miranda et al 2018, and among these, invasive non-native marine fish increased in the last two decades (Gerhardinger et al 2006, Lasso-Alcalá et al 2011, Tomás et al 2012, Contente et al 2015, Ferreira et al 2015, Côa et al 2017, Soeth et al 2018, Adelir-Alves et al 2019. For example, Opsanus beta, an endemic species of the Gulf of Mexico, was first observed on the southwestern Atlantic coast in the 2000s (Caires et al 2007).…”

Invasive species are among the most important problems for biodiversity conservation worldwide, particularly in megadiverse countries such as Brazil. However, there is no biological information to develop policies for managing invasive species populations in many cases. The life history parameters and otolith variations are essential to understanding the adaptations of the species introduced in marine environments. This study aimed to identify the age structure and ontogenetic variation in the sagitta otolith of Opsanus beta. Fish samples were obtained monthly in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex (PEC), south of Brazil. The shape indices verified ontogenetic variations in the otoliths (PERMANOVA; F = 110; P < 0.0001), but no sexual variations were observed in the shape of the otoliths (PERMANOVA; F = 3.65; P > 0.05). Specimen aged between 1 to 9 years were observed in the PEC, with the highest occurrence of individuals between 3 and 6 years (78%). No sexual differences were observed between the ages by the Kimura test. Our results confirm that the O. beta population is well established with age groups similar to that observed in the region where the species is native.
