This study successfully identified three cryptic species in M. cephalus inhabiting the NW Pacific, using a combination of microsatellites and mitochondrial genetic markers, indicating that speciation has been achieved.
Formation of a metamorphosis check in otoliths of the amphidromous goby Sicyopterus japonicus
Otolith microstructure, micro-chemistry (Sr/Ca) and morphological changes were examined across ontogenetic stages and environments (estuarine and a freshwater stream) and the otolith Sr/Ca ratios were higher in the estuary than in the stream environment.
Reproductive strategy and recruitment dynamics of amphidromous goby Sicyopterus japonicus as revealed by otolith microstructure
periodic analysis indicated that LT and growth rate of the larvae were inversely correlated with the age at recruitment, which means that the fast-growing individuals recruited earlier, which facilitated the widespread distribution of the fish along the coasts of East Asia.

The population structure and evolutionary history of Mugil cephalus were investigated across 18 sampling sites in the NE Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Seas, and 2 classes of genetic markers revealed the importance of this strait as a barrier to gene flow, probably during the Pleistocene.

Infrapopulations of A. crassus in Japanese eels are regulated by the defense system of this host, intraspecific density-dependent regulation being less likely as the major regulatory mechanism.
