Exploring Prey Selectivity and Feeding Habits of Wels Catfish (<i>Silurus glanis</i> L., 1758) in a Deep Anatolian Reservoir: Seasonal, Length, and Age-Dependent Diet Analysis. [PDF]
Feeding habits and dietary preferences of wels catfish (Silurus glanis) were investigated in Sıddıklı Dam Lake through the examination of 200 individuals. The results revealed that the species predominantly exhibited piscivorous feeding characteristics, with Tinca tinca (IRI% = 78.93) identified as the primary food source. The food items in the stomach

Physiology of Ovarian Development in Crustaceans: Interactions Among Hormones, Nutrients, and Environmental Factors From Integrated Perspectives. [PDF]
Reproductive maturation remains a central bottleneck in crustacean aquaculture, as ovarian development dictates broodstock quality, fecundity, and larval viability. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the physiological regulation of ovarian maturation in decapod crustaceans, emphasizing the interplay of hormones, nutrients, and environmental ...

Optimal Tryptophan Improved Growth and Regulated Agonistic Behavior of Oriental River Prawn, <i>Macrobrachium nipponense</i>. [PDF]
Tryptophan, recognized as the third limiting amino acid, plays a crucial physiological function. The optimal tryptophan requirement for oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) was assessed, and its impact on agonistic behavior was evaluated in this study. An 8‐week feeding trial was implemented with six different tryptophan levels: 0.07%, 0.17%,

Procambarus virginalis Lyko, 2017: A new threat to Iberian inland waters. [PDF]
We provide the first record of Procambarus virginalis in the Iberian Peninsula, based on morphological and genetic evidence (molecular barcoding of COI). We discuss its most plausible introduction pathways, update its global geographical distribution, highlight the potential impacts if it becomes invasive in Iberia and recommend some proposal ...

Welfare of Decapod Crustaceans with Special Emphasis on Stress Physiology
Despite the growing concern on animal welfare in crustacean farming, both from legislative bodies as well as the common public, studies on welfare are limited and transfer to routine farming is missing. While biocertification schemes such as the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) involve a welfare dimension, these dimensions cannot be communicated ...

Better Alone Than in Bad Company: Trophic Ecology of Co-Occurring Invasive and Native Crayfish. [PDF]
This study investigated and compared trophic interactions between invasive signal crayfish and native white‐clawed crayfish at sites of co‐occurrence and in allopatry. The presence of crayfish plague, body condition, and trophic niche traits were explored as possible factors that make invasive signal crayfish a strong competitor, enhancing its ...
