Microhabitat Analyses of Silurian Stromatoporoids as Substrata for Epibionts

PALAIOS, 1988
Stromatoporoids associated with a Hoburgen-type reef (Upper Ludlovian, Hamra Beds) on the island of Gotland provided living space for a variety of encrusting epibionts and endoliths. The stromatoporoids were inhabited by some 32 species, including cyclostome, cystoporate, and trepostome bryozoans, tabulates, rugosans, pelmatozoans, brachiopods ...

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

First report of freshwater atyid shrimp, Caridina formosae (Decapoda: Caridea) as a host of ectosymbiotic branchiobdellidan, Holtodrilus truncatus (Annelida, Citellata)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020
In recent years, ornamental shrimps gained increasing popularity in the aquarium trade. Unfortunately, they are potential vectors of epibionts, which may be unintentionally introduced to aquaria with imported shrimps. This contribution presents the first

Refining Spat‐Collection Practices to Optimise Single‐Seed Spat Production for New Zealand's Greenshell (Perna canaliculus) Mussel Industry

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mussel aquaculture depends on a consistent spat supply, often sourced from spat‐collection ropes suspended in coastal waters. However, settlement on these ropes can be highly variable due to environmental factors. Therefore, improving spat supply from this source relies on optimising aspects of the process, particularly the timing of ...

Effects of epibiosis on consumer-prey interactions [PDF]

, 1997
In many benthic communities predators play a crucial role in the population dynamics of their prey. Surface characteristics of the prey are important for recognition and handling by the predator.

Viral and Bacterial Epibionts in Thermally-Stressed Corals [PDF]

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
The periodic rise in seawater temperature is one of the main environmental determinants of coral bleaching. However, the direct incidence of these episodic thermal anomalies on coral-associated microbiota and their subsequent effects on coral health are still not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of three main microbial

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Increased drag reduces growth of snails:comparison of flume and in situ experiments [PDF]

, 1997
Snails Littorina littorea with and without artificial epibionts were exposed in situ for nearly 1 mo. Measurement of individual shell length increase over this period revealed that clean snails grew 3 times faster than fouled snails.

Occurrence of phoresy between Ancistrus multispinis (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes) and Ichthyocladius sp. (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Atlantic forest streams, Southeastern Brazil

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018
Phoretic relationships often bring large advantages to epibionts. By attaching themselves to mobile hosts, epibionts are able to: expand their ranges without spending energy, reduce their risk of being predated, and increase their probability of finding ...

Influence of different types of sessile epibionts on the community structure of mobile invertebrates in an eelgrass bed [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds are known to have high ecological and economical values within coastal ecosystems of the temperate northern hemisphere although their biodiversity and functions varied greatly from sites to sites.
