Density, size structure, shell orientation and epibiontic colonization of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis L. 1758 (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in three contrasting habitats in an estuarine area of Sardinia (W Mediterranean)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2009
We investigated the spatial distribution, size structure, shell orientation and valve colonization by epibionts of the endangered Mediterranean bivalve Pinna nobilis in three continuous but different habitats in the Gulf of Oristano (Sardinia, western ...

Investigation of the antifouling constituents from the brown alga Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
One of the most promising alternatives to toxic heavy metal-based paints is offered by the development of antifouling coatings in which the active ingredients are compounds naturally occurring in marine organisms and operating as natural antisettlement ...

Epistylid ciliates as epibionts on calanoid copepods in an Amazonian floodplain lake (Batata Lake) [PDF]

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia
Aim The main objective was to investigate changes in the prevalence and infestation intensity of the epibiotic relationship (ciliates/calanoids) in relation to the impact of bauxite tailings (natural and impacted areas) during two distinct periods of the

Epibiosis and masking material in the spider crab Maja squinado (Decapoda: Majidae) in the Ría de Arousa (Galicia, NW Spain) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
[Abstract] Majid crabs present a marked masking behaviour, which, in addition to the phenomenon of epibiosis on their exoskeleton, constitutes a complex camouflage system to ward off predators.

Epibionts on Arenaeus cribrarius (Brachyura: Portunidae) from Brazil

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2010
Mean prevalence and intensity of infestations by epibionts were evaluated in Arenaeus cribrarius (Lamarck, 1818), based on monthly samplings (May/1991 to April/1993), in Ubatuba, Brazil.

Epiphytic macroalgae of maricultured Sargassum and their potential utilizations

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources
Epiphytism commonly occurs in marine benthic macroalgae and seagrass communities under natural conditions and those of mariculture. This can greatly obstruct the cultivation of commercial seaweeds and ultimately impacts the seaweed aquaculture industry ...

Relaciones bipartitas macroalgas epizoicas-cangrejos en lechos de macroalgas en la costa suroriental de Cuba

open access: yesNovitates Caribaea
El exoesqueleto de los crustáceos constituye un sustrato adecuado para que las macroalgas marinas desarrollen epibiosis. Entre los años 2018 y 2023 se recolectaron 58 individuos de crustáceos con macroalgas sobre sus exoesqueletos en seis localidades de ...
