The paddlefish had likely been suffering for a very long time, a fishing guide said. Fishermen save fish from surprising, painful situation. ‘Probably happy to be caught’
The estimated time of the divergence between sturgeons and paddlefish varies. An estimate based on 30 protein-encoding nuclear markers suggest 204.1 million years ago, research on mitochondrial genomes suggest 155.2 million years ago, and Bayesian dating based on the combined matrix of molecular (mitogenomes) and morphological characters set ...
