Global consequences of dam-induced river fragmentation on diadromous migrants: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The global proliferation of dams has altered flow and sediment regimes in rivers, presenting a major threat to freshwater biodiversity. Diadromous species, such as fishes, decapod crustaceans and gastropods, are particularly susceptible to fragmentation because dams obstruct their breeding migrations between coastal waters and rivers.

Effect of Diets Supplemented With Yeast, Chitin, and Chitosan on the Growth, Immune, and Antioxidant Responses of the Freshwater Prawn Cryphiops (Cryphiops) caementarius. [PDF]

Aquac Nutr
The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the effect of diets supplemented with activated yeast, crude chitin, and chitosan on the growth, immune, and antioxidant response of freshwater prawn Cryphiops (Cryphiops) caementarius. Adult male prawns were kept in individual culture vessels installed in aquarium tanks.

Has a river dam affected the life-history traits of a freshwater prawn? [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2020
In recent years, species richness and diversity in aquatic ecosystems has declined as environments are increasingly impacted by anthropic actions. Freshwater prawns are well adapted to survive in a disturbed and heterogeneous environment.
