A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Integrating Aquaponics with Macrobrachium amazonicum (Palaemonidae: Decapoda) Cultivation for the Production of Microgreens: A Sustainable Approach

AgriEngineering
The use of aquaponic systems has grown in recent years, but few of these systems have integrated the production of prawns and short-cycle vegetables. This study evaluated the potential for producing microgreens (beet, amaranth, arugula, and red cabbage ...

Effects of ammonia and nitrite on food consumption of the Amazon River prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) postlarvae

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2021
Experiments were carried out to study the effects of ammonia and nitrite on food consumption of Macrobrachium amazonicum postlarvae. Postlarvae (average weight of 0.0625 g) were exposed during 21 days to four concentrations of total ammonia (0, 1.05, 2.1 and 4.2 mg. NH3+NH4+ L-1) and four concentrations of nitrite (0, 0.075, 0.15 and 0.30 mg N-NO2- L-1)

Vanishing Treasures: Climate Change Steals Amazonian Coastal Livelihoods—A Cry from the Frontlines of Marajó Island

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
In our study, we demonstrate how climate change is degrading fisheries and forest resources in Marajó Island's coastal communities, where we found younger residents and urban‐proximate groups express the strongest concerns. We document how warming temperatures and erratic rainfall are threatening traditional livelihoods, food security, and cultural ...

Effects of Intensification of the Amazon River Prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum, Grow‐out on Effluent Quality [PDF]

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, 2013
AbstractStudies to determine suitable levels of intensification are essential for developing sustainable aquaculture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of effluents discharged from ponds stocked with 10 (D10), 20 (D20), 40 (D40), and 80 (D80) postlarvae of Macrobrachium amazonicum/m2.

American manatees adjust their diet composition and trophic niche breadth across different coastal regions

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Marine mammals can exhibit high plasticity in foraging strategies, but how such plasticity is driven by environmental conditions is poorly understood. The American manatee (Trichechus manatus), a large, endangered herbivore, inhabits marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments.

Effect of Water Exchange and Mechanical Aeration on Grow‐out of the Amazon River Prawn in Ponds [PDF]

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, 2013
AbstractExchange and aeration of pond water are common practices in semi‐intensive freshwater prawn culture, but there is lack of scientifically based information on the results. We evaluated the effects of water flow through the ponds and mechanical aeration in semi‐intensive cultures of Macrobrachium amazonicum.

The Fragmented Landscape of Shrimp Life Cycle Assessments: Uncovering Methodological Dependence and Analytical Blind Spots

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
Reported environmental impacts of shrimp aquaculture from life cycle assessments (LCAs) vary by over fiftyfold. These discrepancies stem from methodological inconsistencies, which often outweigh actual differences in farming practices. Furthermore, areas of environmental concern including land use change, biodiversity, and toxicity impacts are excluded
