Mass Production of Juveniles of the Fat Snook Centropomus parallelus in Brazil
AbstractA pilot‐scale trial to rear fat snook Centropomus parallelus through larval, weaning and nursery phases was conducted in Florianópolis, Brazil. Eggs (96% fertilization) from captive broodstock, induced to spawn using 50 μg/kg LHRHa were stocked in two 4,000‐L cylindrical fiberglass tanks at a mean density of 19.2 eggs/L. Nannochloropsis oculata

Petroleum hydrocarbons are one of the primary organic chemicals found in water bodies, and the water-soluble fraction of petroleum (WSFP) may be responsible for much of the toxic effects. In the present study, genotoxicity assays and histopathological analysis of the gills were analyzed for two experimental protocols: 1) Juvenile Centropomus parallelus

The catch of the day: The shortcomings of promoting sustainable seafood consumption in Peru
This study investigates the meaning and application of “catch of the day” in Peru by analyzing 233 news articles and genetically testing 43 fish samples from restaurants. Results show that media frequently use the term as a vague marketing phrase, while genetic testing reveals a 60% mislabeling rate. These findings suggest that “catch of the day” lacks

The scarcity of functional females in wild Centropomus undecimalis populations limits broodstock development for aquaculture. This study evaluated feminization of this protandrous hermaphroditic teleost under different salinity conditions using 17β‐estradiol (E2), administered orally to juveniles and via intramuscular implants to adults.

The Interplay of Biotic and Abiotic Factors in Shaping Genetic Variation at 6Pgdh in the Bulb Mite
We used experimental evolution to track changes in 6Pgdh allele frequencies in bulb mites over 13 generations under different temperatures and sexual selection intensities. Our results show that the F allele increases in frequency only at low temperatures under strong sexual selection, indicating that the maintenance of genetic variation in this system

Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates
ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction
ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

Recent advancements in aquaponics with special emphasis on its sustainability
Abstract An aquaponic system which is an integration of hydroponics with aquaculture is sustainable, ecologically friendly, and uses non‐renewable resources with very high efficacy. The increasing trend in aquaponics research demonstrates a growing recognition of its potential to address critical global issues such as food security, water conservation,

Abstract Associational effects, whereby plants influence the biotic interactions of their neighbors, are an important component of plant–insect interactions. Plant chemistry has been hypothesized to mediate these interactions. The role of chemistry in associational effects, however, has been unclear in part because the diversity of plant chemistry ...

Behavior of diclofenac from contaminated fish after cooking and in vitro digestion
Abstract BACKGROUND Seafood consumers are widely exposed to diclofenac due to the high contamination levels often present in aquatic organisms. It is a potential risk to public health due its endocrine disruptor properties. Limited information is available about diclofenac behavior after food digestion to enable a more realistic scenario of consumer ...
