Larviculture of the painted river prawn Macrobrachium carcinus in different culture systems
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate different hatchery systems used for the larviculture of the Macrobrachium carcinus based on survival, larval development and production of post-larvae. The experimental culture was carried out in three phases designated as Phase I (Zoea VI to VIII – ZVI – VIII), Phase II (Zoea VIII to X – ZVIII – X)

We discovered diverse peptidases and lipases in the intestine of the gastropod Pomacea canalicutala, which could be a useful platform to evaluate natural inhibitors to control this invasive species. Abstract Background The invasive gastropod Pomacea canaliculata has received great attention in the last decades as a result of its negative impact on ...

Diseases of the giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii: A review for a growing industry
Abstract The giant river prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is a major focus of aquaculture in tropical and sub‐tropical regions around the globe. Over the last 30 years, culture of M. rosenbergii has increased exponentially as demand has risen both for domestic consumption and for international export trade.

Welfare of Decapod Crustaceans with Special Emphasis on Stress Physiology
Despite the growing concern on animal welfare in crustacean farming, both from legislative bodies as well as the common public, studies on welfare are limited and transfer to routine farming is missing. While biocertification schemes such as the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) involve a welfare dimension, these dimensions cannot be communicated ...

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission
Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

Cytology, function and dynamics of stem and progenitor cells in decapod crustaceans
ABSTRACT Stem cells play key roles in development, tissue homeostasis, regeneration, ageing and diseases. Comprehensive reviews on stem cells are available for the determinately growing mammals and insects and some lower invertebrates like hydra but are rare for larger, indeterminately growing invertebrates that can live for many decades.

Abstract The release of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) to the environment necessitates an assessment of their environmental risks. The currently available environmental risk assessments (ERA) for ENMs are based on an analysis of the total flows of a specific ENM to the environment and on ecotoxicity studies performed with pristine ENMs.
