A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Summary Heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) and ciliates are major protistan planktonic bacterivores. The term HNF, however, describes a functional guild only and, in contrast to the morphologically distinguishable ciliates, does not reflect the phylogenetic diversity of flagellates in aquatic ecosystems.

Retention of microplastics by biofilms and their ingestion by protists in rivers. [PDF]
Biofilms, which are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems such as rivers, may play an essential role in the fate of microplastics (MPs) and their ingestion by biofilm protists. A combination of field and laboratory experiments shows that riverine biofilms contain up to 10 times more MPs than ambient water and retain 6–12 times more MPs than surfaces without

On the move: sloths and their epibionts as model mobile ecosystems
ABSTRACT Sloths are unusual mobile ecosystems, containing a high diversity of epibionts living and growing in their fur as they climb slowly through the canopies of tropical forests. These epibionts include poorly studied algae, arthropods, fungi, and bacteria, making sloths likely reservoirs of unexplored biodiversity.

Influence of Buffer-Protected Sodium Butyrate Supplementation in the Diet of <i>Penaeus vannamei</i>. [PDF]
This study aimed to determine the optimal inclusion level of protected sodium butyrate (PSB) in diets for Penaeus vannamei during the postlarvae to grow‐out phase. A completely randomized design was used with four dietary treatments: 0, 2, 4, and 8 kg/t of PSB (54% sodium butyrate). The PSB product (Novation SL 2002, Spain) contains 54% sodium butyrate

Ectoparasite infestation and Vibrio alginolyticus bacterial infection in super-intensive ponds with high ammonia levels of Penaeus vannamei [PDF]
Disruption to fish and shrimp farming can be caused by poor water quality or invading pathogens. This study aims to determine the degree of ectoparasite infestation and Vibrio alginolyticus bacterial infection in super-intensive ponds.
