A standardization of Amphibalanus (Balanus) amphitrite (Crustacea, Cirripedia) larval bioassay for ecotoxicological studies

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2012
A series of 10 intra-laboratory bioassays and an inter-laboratory assay involving nine laboratories, were performed to validate the use of Amphibalanus amphitrite larvae as test organisms for ecotoxicological studies. The standardization protocol utilized Cadmium Nitrate as a reference toxicant and larval immobilization (after 24 and 48 h) as the end ...

Coliform accumulation in Amphibalanus amphitrite (Darwin, 1854) (Cirripedia) and its use as an organic pollution bioindicator in the estuarine area of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil Acumulação de coliformes em Amphibalanus amphitrite (Darwin, 1854) (Cirripedia) e seu uso como bioindicador de poluição orgânica na área estuarina do Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2010
Samples of water and barnacles Amphibalanus amphitrite were collected from Recife, Brazil, to assess if it accumulates total (TC) and thermotolerant coliforms (TTC) related with sewage pollution.

Antifouling Activity of Xylemin, Its Structural Analogs, and Related Polyamines. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
Xylemin and Boc‐protected xylemin exhibited antifouling activities without toxicity. ABSTRACT Biofouling, which is the accumulation of organisms on undersea structures, poses significant global, social, and economic issues. Although organotin compounds were effective antifoulants since the 1960s, they were banned in 2008 due to their toxicity to marine

Why Are Barnacles Common on Intertidal Rocks but Rare in Rock Pools? Effect of Water Temperature, Salinity, and Continuous Submergence on Barnacle Survival in Indian Ocean Rock Pools

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Barnacles are less common in rock pools of the rocky intertidal zone than on open rock surfaces adjacent to those pools. Rock pools on the Andaman coastlines of Thailand showed diurnal variations in water temperature, salinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen ...

Experimental accumulation of microplastics in acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite and its use in estimating microplastic concentration in coastal waters

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Microplastic (MP) pollution has been an emerging problem in the marine environment over the last few decades. Considering wide-ranging negative impacts of MPs on marine organisms, monitoring MP pollution in marine ecosystems is essential and urgent for ...

Amphibalanus amphitrite

, 2023
Specimens of Amphibalanus amphitrite were collected from nine locations along the PG and the GO (Table 1, Fig. 1). In total, 94 individuals were collected from both artificial substrata (e.g., humanmade structures, piers, small vessel hulls and floating objects) and natural habitats (e.g., intertidal rocks, mollusk shells, crab carapaces and mangrove ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials. [PDF]

Adv Healthc Mater
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Predicting effects of multiple interacting global change drivers across trophic levels

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1223-1238, March 2023., 2023
We propose that reaction norms provide insights to the underlying mechanisms of community responses to multiple global change drivers. We illustrate how joint driver impacts can be scaled up from the population to the community level, building on consumer–resource models and thermal reaction norms.

Assessing the impacts of anthropogenic sounds on early stages of benthic invertebrates: The “Larvosonic system”

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 53-68, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Noise produced by human activities has increased in the oceans over the last decades. Whereas most studies have focused on the impact of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals and fishes, those focusing on marine invertebrates are rarer and more recent, especially when considering peri‐metamorphic benthic stages, highly sensitive to ...
