An investigation into the efficacy of Biokos® in controlling ciliates in laboratory cultures of Saccharina latissima gametophytes

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract A major challenge faced by kelp aquaculture operations is the control of contaminants, including by marine ciliates. Biokos® is a commercially available treatment for ciliate parasites in fish, in which the active ingredient is a viscosin‐like lipopeptide surfactant.

Contaminant‐Driven Modulation of Environmental DNA and RNA in Aquatic Systems

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
This study investigates how lead (Pb) and polyethylene (PE) microbreads influence eDNA and eRNA signals in salmon and eels. While Pb exposure does not interfere with eNA signals, PE microbeads increase eRNA production and slow molecular degradation, prolonging the detection window of eNA in aquatic ecosystems.

Egg Adhesion of the Codling Moth Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) to Synthetic Substrates

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...
