Census of potential predators and competitors of sandfish, Holothuria scabra, juveniles during floating hapa ocean nursery culture

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 316-328, June 2023., 2023
This study reports for the first‐time potential predators and competitors that recruited and migrated to floating hapa nets during ocean nursery culture of sandfish juveniles reared in the Philippines. Results indicate that the presence of potential predators and competitors within the floating hapas negatively affected growth performance and survival ...

Sponging up diversity: Evaluating metabarcoding performance for a taxonomically challenging phylum within a complex cryptobenthic community

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 239-253, January 2022., 2022
We evaluated the performance of COI metabarcoding in detecting marine cryptic sponges, which are notoriously difficult to identify using both morphological and molecular methods. These results confirmed the need for discretion in sponge molecular operational taxonomic unit assignments using universal degenerate barcoding primers that target a short ...

Spermatocyte Chromosomes in Some Species of the Family Aplysiidae (Gastropoda, Opisthobranchia) [PDF]

open access: yesCaryologia, 1982
SUMMARYCounting spermatocyte bivalents, we have determined the haploid number n = 16 for Aplysia depilans and A. punctata, and n = 17 for A. limacina. We have confirmed n = 17 for Bursatella leachii. Male diakinetic bivalents are probably chiasmatic in all the species examined. The orders Nudibranchia and Notaspidea, possessing haploid values of 13 and
