Dried duckweed and commercial feed promote adequate growth performance of tilapia fingerlings [PDF]

Biotemas, 2008
The present study evaluated Nile tilapia when fed on dried duckweed in combination with commercial feed, aiming at reducing production costs. Three diets, which consisted of commercial feed (40% crude protein), dried duckweed or a combination of ...

THE ROLE OF DUCKWEED (LEMNA MINOR L.) IN SECONDARY CLARIFIER TANKS

Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2008
In this study, the effects of duckweed (Lemna minor L.) presence on the effluent water quality and settling characteristics in the secondary clarifier tank of a conventional biological treatment plant were investigated. For this purpose, the performances

Effect of different fertilizers on the growth of duckweed (Lemna minor) as aquatic plant resources utilization in sustaining Red Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Duckweed (Lemna minor) is one of the smallest floating aquatic plants in the world. This plant is potentially important in the aquaculture feed industry since aquaculture feed is the major operational cost in fish production.

Environmental Stress Drives Plasticity in Sexual Bimaturism in the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, 1758)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 736-749, July 2026.
We measured the plasticity in sexual bimaturism (SBM; differences between sexes in the timing of sexual maturity) in the black soldier fly (BSF) by exposing larvae to nutrient availability and humidity stress. Our results show that SBM can range between protandry and protogyny depending on the environmental quality. Additionally, we found the degree of

Flavone‐associated resistance of two Lemna species to duckweed weevil attack

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Lemna perpusilla and Lemna minor are free‐floating plants that often live in the same habitat. However, little is known about how they differ in response to herbivore attacks.

Multi‐Omics Unveils the Dual‐Life of the Aquatic Plant Potamogeton nodosus

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Heterophylly, characterized by distinct leaf morphologies, is an adaptive strategy evolved by some aquatic plants to cope with the contrasting environments in which they grow. It is shaped by environmental factors and by hormones, particularly abscisic and gibberellic acids.
