ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Sequence and expression analysis of HSP70 family genes in Artemia franciscana [PDF]
AbstractThus far, only one gene from the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family has been identified in Artemia franciscana. Here, we used the draft Artemia transcriptome database to search for other genes in the HSP70 family. Four novel HSP70 genes were identified and designated heat shock cognate 70 (HSC70), heat shock 70 kDa cognate 5 (HSC70-5 ...

Artemia is deficient in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly in arachidonic (ARA, 20:4n-6), eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5n-3), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3). The aim of this study was to determine the optimal time in which the higher

ABSTRACT This study characterised polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)‐producing bacteria from the culture water of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in biofloc ponds and investigated the influence of PHB on the growth and immune performance of GIFT. Out of 40 bacterial isolates, Bacillus infantis, Exiguobacterium profundum, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus ...

In light of the pivotal role of Artemia Leach, 1819 as food in larviculture and fisheries, it becomes imperative to continually reassess its resources and deepen our understanding of its species diversity.

A first AFLP-based genetic linkage map for brine shrimp Artemia franciscana and its application in mapping the sex locus. [PDF]
We report on the construction of sex-specific linkage maps, the identification of sex-linked markers and the genome size estimation for the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana.

Interactive Effects of Two Global Contaminants on Behavioral Variation in Brine Shrimp
Wildlife is often exposed to multiple pollutants with unknown joint effects. We tested how two aquatic pollutants at realistic levels alter activity in Artemia. Phenanthrene reduced average activity but not when mixed with 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Both pollutants and their mix reduced behavioral plasticity but not individuality, highlighting the importance ...

Intercalibration of ecotoxicity testing protocols with Artemia franciscana
The brine shrimp, Artemia spp., is widely used in ecotoxicology as a target biological model. Although several protocols were available in the early 1980s, only the 24-h acute mortality toxicity test was evaluated in a European intercalibration exercise during that period.

ABSTRACT Conservation hatcheries aim to produce fish for supplementation of wild populations, but hatchery environments may drive phenotypic divergence from wild fish. These diverged traits may have reduced fitness in the wild, which could compromise wild population sustainability and evolutionary potential, such as in response to climate change. Delta

ABSTRACT Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved molecular chaperones that maintain proteostasis under environmental and physiological stress. In aquaculture research, HSP responses have been studied primarily in relation to temperature, salinity, pollutants, and pathogens in juvenile and adult stages, whereas the nutritional regulation of HSP ...
