Aquatic food webs in restored marshes: a stable‐isotope approach in the Gironde estuary (SW France)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, July 2025.
Intertidal marshes are important habitats for nekton. However, historical draining and dyking hampered European coastal wetlands. Marsh restoration is therefore critical not only to improve their capacity to protect coastal lines but also to rehabilitate their ecological functionalities. The benefits of intertidal marsh restoration for nekton community

The effect of structural complexity, prey density, and "predator-free space" on prey survivorship at created oyster reef mesocosms. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Interactions between predators and their prey are influenced by the habitat they occupy. Using created oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reef mesocosms, we conducted a series of laboratory experiments that created structure and manipulated complexity as ...

Pyloric hypertrophy and gastric outflow obstruction in an adult ornate bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis)

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract A 5‐year‐old, captive bred, 327 g female ornate bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) presented with a history of reduced appetite and cranial coelomic swelling. On physical examination, the swelling was smooth, soft, devoid of masses and consistent with an enlarged stomach. No other abnormalities were detected.

Ecological structure and function in a restored versus natural salt marsh. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Habitat reconstruction is commonly employed to restore degraded estuarine habitats and lost ecological functions. In this study, we use a combination of stable isotope analyses and macrofauna community analysis to compare the ecological structure and ...

Development of a Quantitative PCR Method for Specific and Quantitative Detection of Enterocytospora artemiae, a Microsporidian Parasite of Chinese Grass Shrimp (Palaemonetes sinensis)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Enterocytospora artemiae (EAM) mainly parasitizes the hepatopancreas of Palaemonetes sinensis. Serious infection leads to hepatopancreatic lesions, which greatly reduce the vitality of P. sinensis. Currently, EAM is detected via conventional PCR methods.

Impact of Commercial Probiotics on Growth, Prophenoloxidase, Superoxide Dismutase, and Digestive Enzyme Activity in Macrobrachium rosenbergii Cultured at Different Stocking Densities

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
An experiment using a 4 × 3 factorial design was conducted to evaluate the impact of three commercial probiotics and a control (no probiotic treatment) on the growth, digestive, and immune enzymatic indices of prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) at three stocking densities (2, 4, and 6 m−2).

The implications of temperature-mediated plasticity in larval instar number for development within a marine invertebrate, the shrimp Palaemonetes varians. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Variations in larval instar number are common among arthropods. Here, we assess the implications of temperature-mediated variations in larval instar number for larval development time, larval growth rates, and juvenile dry weight within the palaemonid ...

Can consumers avoid mislabelling? Genetic species identification provides recommendations for shrimp/prawn products

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 15, Page 9486-9493, December 2024.
Abstract BACKGROUND Crustaceans of the superfamily Penaeoidea (e.g., shrimps and prawns) are among the most commercially available aquatic products worldwide. However, there are few studies regarding not only the presence but also the characteristics of mislabelling in these food products.
