Storage of Decapsulated Artemia (Brine Shrimp)

EDIS, 2018
Artemia (brine shrimp) are good food for larval fish, but they have to be removed from their shells before many species can eat them. The process can be time- and labor-intensive, especially since it is often performed every day.

Better Control With More Food: Continuous Provision of Alternative Food Enhances Thrips Control by Predatory Mites

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of alternative food has become an integral component of biocontrol, allowing the introduction and establishment of predators into a crop before pest invasion and sustaining populations even when pest densities are low. The addition of alternative food also has a positive long‐term effect in decreasing the densities of the pest.

Ecological energetics of an imperilled fish: Physiological metrics, experimental protocols and implications for population recovery

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Insights about fish physiology can be useful for population management, but collecting ecologically relevant data can be challenging, especially for imperilled and sensitive species. With the goal of identifying ecologically relevant physiological metrics, we conducted a range of experiments to characterize the metabolism, food consumption ...

Nodular Lesions in the Pyloric Caeca of Sardinella aurita (Teleostei) Associated With the Cestode Anthobothrium sp. 1 Larvae (Platyhelminthes: Eucestoda) Off Tunisia, Mediterranean Sea

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Examination of round sardinella Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, 1847 (Clupeidae) from the Gulf of Tunis (Tunisia) revealed the first local and Mediterranean record of Anthobothrium sp. 1 sensu Jensen & Bullard, 2010 (Tetraphyllidea incertae sedis, Anthobothrium).

Efficacy of Ccombody as an Immunoprophylaxis Strategy: Impact on Immune Gene Expression of Pacific White Shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) Against Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is caused by a plasmid bearing strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VpAHPND), which produces PirA and PirB toxins that specifically target and damage hepatopancreatic and epithelial cells of the shrimp gastrointestinal tract.

Contestation Between the State, Oil and Fishers in Trinidad and Tobago: (Re)producing ‘Edge’ Populations on the Post‐Plantation Extraction Frontier

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Successive waves of extraction in the Caribbean—from plantation monocultures to oil and gas—have reshaped overlapping agrarian, coastal and marine environments, undermining the socio‐ecological foundations of small‐scale fisher livelihoods and generating ongoing conflict between the state, energy sector and fishing communities. Yet despite the

Finding the sweet spot: An exploration of environmental factors to optimize Ulva carbohydrate content and composition

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Green macroalgae from the Ulva genus are rich in polysaccharides of interest, including ulvan, starch, and cellulose. However, their content and structure are impacted by environmental factors, which poses challenges for industrial applications, especially in the context of climate change.
