An integrated fish–plankton aquaculture system in brackish water

open access: yesAnimal, 2013
Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture takes advantage of the mutualism between some detritivorous fish and phytoplankton. The fish recycle nutrients by consuming live (and dead) algae and provide the inorganic carbon to fuel the growth of live algae.

First Insights into the Repertoire of Secretory Lectins in Rotifers

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
Due to their high biodiversity and adaptation to a mutable and challenging environment, aquatic lophotrochozoan animals are regarded as a virtually unlimited source of bioactive molecules. Among these, lectins, i.e., proteins with remarkable carbohydrate-

Consistent and flexible maternal effects: how the environments of a mother influence the offspring phenotype

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2641-2659, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The environment experienced by a mother influences offspring phenotype through maternal effects, which can have significant adaptive benefits for both the mother and the offspring. However, the ways in which maternal environments influence offspring development are extremely diverse, and empirical studies using an outcome‐based approach often ...

The effects of stocking density on the production and health of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in RAS

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is known for its growth performance in aquaculture. Fish are typically raised at high densities in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), which may impact animal health. Flounder (55.2 ± 16.3 g) were stocked at three densities: a low density (LD) of 3 kg/m2, medium density (MD) of 6 kg/m2, and high ...

Nutrients and warm temperatures explain a seasonal cycle of colonization and ecosystem collapse in a floodplain pond

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Resilient ecosystems maintain similar species diversity and composition despite extreme environmental variation, while ecosystem collapse can be characterized by high mortality rates and decreased species diversity. Submerged aquatic macrophytes often support species diversity by providing habitat, shelter, food, and oxygen for fish and ...

Germ cell specification and ovary structure in the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2010
Background The segregation of the germline from somatic tissues is an essential process in the development of all animals. Specification of the primordial germ cells (PGCs) takes place via different strategies across animal phyla; either specified early ...

Zooplankton Community Composition in the White and Blue Niles Near Khartoum: Combining Molecular and Morphological Approaches

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of bulk zooplankton from the White and Blue Nile near Khartoum recovered 40 genus/species‐level taxa belonging to Cladocera, Copepoda, and Rotifera, representing 53%–72% of ASVs. Rotifers were the most diverse group, and low Cladocera read counts likely reflect primer mismatch despite similar morphological ...

Effects of commercial enrichment diets on the nutritional value of the rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
12 páginas, 4 tablasThe rotifer, Brachionusplicatifis, pre-fed on baker’s yeast, was enriched for 6 h with three commercial products from Artemia Systems S.A., namely Protein Selco (microcapsules), Dry Selco (microparticles) and Super Selco (an ...
