Investigating Dissolved Glucose as an Alternative Nutrient Source for Bivalve Larvae [PDF]

Aquaculture Nutrition
The production of live microalgae represents a major cost in the operation of bivalve hatcheries, as it is the primary food used for larval rearing. This study investigated whether dissolved glucose could reduce the reliance on live microalgae as a sole ...

The effect of deshelled and shell-reduced mussel meal on egg quality parameters of organic laying hens under commercial conditions

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2021
Summary: Mussel meal is an alternative feed ingredient that can reduce the gap in available protein-rich feedstuff for organic layer hen diets. Mussel meal production requires high input of energy because of mussel deshelling.

Evaluation of the Effect of Local Water Chemistry on Trace Metal Accumulation in Puget Sound Shellfish Shows That Concentration Varies With Species, Size, and Location

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Global climate change is causing ocean acidification (OA), warming, and decreased dissolved oxygen (DO) in coastal areas, which can cause physiological stress and compromise the health of marine organisms.

Nonconsumptive Predator Effects on Prey Demography: Recent Advances Using Intertidal Invertebrates

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Predators influence prey demography through consumption, but the mere presence of predators may trigger behavioural changes in prey that, if persistent or intense, may also influence prey demography.

Phylogenetic Assessment of Freshwater Mussels Castalia ambigua and C. inflata at an Ecotone in the Paraguay River Basin, Brazil Shows That Inflated and Compressed Shell Morphotypes Are the Same Species

Diversity, 2020
The phylogeny and taxonomy of freshwater mussels of the genus Castalia in South America is complicated by issues of morphological plasticity and limited molecular genetic data.
