Evaluating biodegradable alternatives to plastic mesh for small‐scale oyster reef restoration
Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Polyethylene plastic mesh is commonly used for containing oyster shells in small‐scale oyster reef restoration, but environmental and public health concerns have prompted investigations of biodegradable alternatives. Shallow (<0.5 m) and deep (approximately 1 m) oyster reefs (approximately 6 m2) were constructed in the Mission‐Aransas Estuary, Texas, U.

Spectral Sensitivity of the Common Prawn, Palaemonetes vulgaris [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1968 The vision of Palaemonetes is of particular interest in view of extensive studies of the responses of its chromatophore systems and eye pigments to light. The spectral sensitivity is here examined under conditions of dark adaptation and adaptation to bright colored lights. In each case the relative number of photons per one-fiftieth sec flash needed to

CONSUMPTION OF MICROALGAE BY THE GRASS SHRIMP PALAEMONETES PUGIO [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1999 The ability of Palaemonetes pugio to consume microalgae in marshes of Spartina alterniflora was examined in field collections and laboratory experiments. Photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a and phaeopigments) content in P. pugio was measured after shrimp exoskeletons were removed to ensure that pigments were primarily from gut contents.
