Enhanced immune response and resistance to white tail disease in chitin-diet fed freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Aquaculture Reports, 2015
Chitin is one of the natural biopolymer found abundantly in the shells of crustaceans, insects and in cell walls of fungi. In this study, we determined the effect of dietary administration of 0.5, 0.75 and 1% chitin on the immune response and disease ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Are the Heavy Metals Cadmium and Zinc Regulated in Freshwater Prawns?

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1996
In the present study, an attempt to assess the heavy metal (Cd and Zn) regulating ability of the commercially important freshwater prawn Macrobrachium malcolmsonii (Milne Edwards) was made by exposing it to a range of dissolved concentrations of Cd and Zn for 22 days.

The Effect of Familiarity Among Social Partners on the Jumping Behavior of Amazon Mollies

Ethology, EarlyView.
Pairs of familiar or nonfamiliar clonal Amazon mollies were tested in individual bowls, from which they could only escape from by jumping. Familiar pairs remained together significantly more than non‐familiar ones. Other behavioral aspects, such as timing and direction of jumps was not affected by familiarity.

Breaking the ice: multiple origins of ice‐binding/antifreeze proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ice‐binding proteins (IBPs) evolved independently in many organisms during Cenozoic cooling and glaciation. In flounders, α‐helical IBPs evolved from an antiviral protein, while similar IBPs arose independently from different progenitors in three other fish lineages.

Hepatopancreatic metabolomics shedding light on the mechanism underlying unsynchronized growth in giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (M. rosenbergii) as an important freshwater aquaculture species with high commercial value, exhibited unsynchronized growth. However, the potentially metabolic mechanism remains unclear. In this study,
