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]

open access: yesAquac Nutr
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]

open access: yesAquac Nutr
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]

open access: yesAquac Nutr
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%,

Welfare of Decapod Crustaceans with Special Emphasis on Stress Physiology

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
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]

open access: yesEcol Evol
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 ...
