A global estimator of C and N isotope baselines for fresh waters

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Baselines are the pebbles in the shoes of isotope ecologists. The extreme variability of the isotope composition of resources at the base of food webs governs the spatial differences of consumers' isotope composition, so that isotope‐inferred trophic properties can be compared across ecosystems only after correction for baseline effects ...

Effects of C/N controlled periphyton based organic farming of freshwater prawn on water quality parameters and biotic factors

open access: yesJournal of Fisheries, 2014
The effects of C:N controlled periphyton based organic farming of freshwater prawn on water quality parameters and biotic factors were investigated. The experiment had two treatments: T1 and T2 each with three replications.

Sex reversal and the androgenic gland (AG) in Macrobrachium rosenbergii: A review

open access: yesAquaculture and Fisheries, 2020
The male giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) generally exhibit faster growth rates compared to females of similar age. Consequently, the practice of culturing monosex (all-male) prawn can increase both the production yield and income ...

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Fats, Fire and Bronze Age Funerary Rites: Organic Residue Analysis of Wide Horizontal Rim Vessels From Burial Contexts in Northwest Portugal

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first GC‐MS–based analyses of wide horizontal rim vessels with well‐defined funerary contexts, from Middle Bronze Age Portugal (Quinta do Amorim 2 and Pego). Organic residues from two vessels revealed ruminant fats and plant oils, alongside molecular markers of heat exposure.

Geothermal aquaculture: a guide to freshwater prawn culture [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
Biological data of the Malaysian prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, are summarized. A history on its rearing techniques is given, but through the use of geothermal water or industrial warm water effluent, its range can be expanded. The use of wasted geothermal water at the Oregon Institute of Technology for prawn ponds is noted.

Crushing and Cutting: Shape Variation and Morphological Integration Between the Claws of Two Swimming Crab Species (Brachyura: Portunidae)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated shape variations and morphological integration between the components of crusher and cutter claws in two species of swimming crabs, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. The propodi and dactyli of the claws were analysed in males and females of both species, using geometric morphometric techniques to identify ...

Biofloc culture system shapes the structure and function of environmental and intestinal bacterial communities in the river prawn Cryphiops caementarius

open access: yesAquaculture Reports
Biofloc technology (BFT) has emerged as a sustainable method for prawn cultivation, particularly for regions with limited freshwater resources. The freshwater prawn Cryphiops caementarius exhibit improved survival and growth rates when cultivated using ...
