Variability response of aquatic macrophytes in inland lakes: A case study of Lake Nasser

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2021
Aquatic macrophytes are plants that live in water or wet soil, grow profusely in lakes and waterways, and provide several ecological benefits. Lake Nasser, an artificial reservoir, has been the most critical element in Egypt’s social and economic ...

A small omnivore fish (Acheilognathus macropterus) reduces both growth and biomass of submerged macrophytes: implications for shallow lake restoration

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020
Transplantation of submerged macrophytes has been widely used to improve water quality in restoring shallow lakes in China. However, in some lakes, small omnivorous fish predominated the fish assemblages and fed mainly on submerged macrophytes.

A DNA mini‐barcode for marine macrophytes [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020
AbstractStudies focusing on marine macrophyte metabarcoding from environmental samples are scarce, due to the lack of a universal barcode for these taxa, and to their poor representation in DNA databases. Here, we searched for a short barcode able to identify marine macrophytes from tissue samples; then, we created a DNA reference library which was ...

Control of algal growth by macrophytes and macrophyte-extracted bioactive compounds

Water Science and Technology, 1996
Algae (Selenastrum capricornutum and Microcystis aeruginosa) were respectively assayed in a mixed-culture system using various concentrations of macrophytes obtained from Egeria densa, Cabomba caroliniana, and Myriophyllum spicatum in order to evaluate their inhibitory effects on algal growth due to possible secretion of anti-algal bioactive compounds ...

From single to synthetic PGPR: Exploring the strategies of submerged macrophyte remediation in cadmium polluted sediment

International Journal of Sediment Research
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are used to assist phytoremediation. Synthetic PGPR can adapt to diverse sediment environments more effectively than single PGPR. However, their mechanisms of application in submerged macrophytes remediation of

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

The effects of nutrient level on periphyton–macrophyte interactions in freshwater ecosystems

Water Biology and Security
Periphyton are one of the key primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, particularly in oligotrophic shallow lakes. Submerged macrophytes are capable of competing with periphyton for nutrients and light, but may also facilitate periphyton by providing ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Response of submerged macrophytes of different growth forms to multiple sediment remediation measures for hardened sediment

Frontiers in Plant Science
Climate change and intensified human activities have disrupted the natural hydrological regime and rhythm of river-connected lakes, extending the dry season, increasing water loss, and exposing previously submerged lake floors.

Nutrient composition and heavy metal accumulation in water hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) from the Dande River, Nepal: Implications for use as alternative feed resources

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The proliferation of invasive aquatic macrophytes poses a significant ecological challenge globally, while many tropical regions face chronic shortages of affordable livestock feed. This study addresses this dual problem by assessing two invasive species, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes ...
