This work highlighted the impact of dry concentrations (0, 1, 2, and 4 g/kg diet) of the marine diatom species Skeletonema costatum (SK0%, SK0.1%, SK0.2%, and SK0.4%, respectively) as an aquafeed additive on the postlarvae of Pacific whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). During an 8‐week feeding trial, the impact of S.

Heritability and genetic correlations of escape behaviours in juvenile scallop Argopecten purpuratus
Escape behaviours are generally considered adaptive because of their obvious effects on fitness. However, little is known about the genetic basis of escape responses. The estimation of the magnitude of hereditary factors affecting variation in escape responses indicates their potential to evolve by natural selection.

Physiological Effects of Suspended Solids on Venerupis philippinarum and Argopecten irradians
Suspended solids are small particles transported in the water column, which can damage marine ecosystems and impair the health of aquatic organisms. This study evaluated the physiological responses of clams (Venerupis philippinarum) and Atlantic Bay ...

Let 'Em Grow: Scalloping Best Practices
Recreational scalloping is a popular summertime activity that attracts participants from far and wide to Florida's Gulf Coast. Coastal counties that serve as vessel launch points rely on this fishery for economic viability, but the biology of the bay ...
