Efficiency of artificial collectors for quantitative assessment of sea urchin settlement rates
We tested the suitability of three different kinds of artificial collectors designed for quantitative assessment of echinoid settlement rates: (1) nylon nets containing plastic biofilter balls, (2) vertical scrub brushes with vegetal bristles and (3 ...

Cadmium induces the expression of specific stress proteins in sea urchin embryos [PDF]
Marine organisms are highly sensitive to many environmental stresses, and consequently, the analysis of their bio-molecular responses to different stress agents is very important for the understanding of putative repair mechanisms.

Spermiotoxicity and Embryotoxicity of Permethrin in the Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus
The toxicity of permethrin on the fertilization and early development of sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus embryos were studied. Spermiotoxicity was evaluated on the basis of fertilization rate. Embryotoxicity was determined by comparing the frequency of normal development and malformations in embryos exposed to permethrin throughout their development ...

Abstract Marine mass mortality events (MMEs) are a growing source of concern globally. Affecting diverse marine ecosystems, they frequently cause significant ecological disruptions, often leading to large‐scale ecological shifts. However, in contrast to terrestrial MMEs, most marine mortalities likely occur undetected, particularly in cryptic and ...

Cytogenetic study in the sea urchin "Paracentrotus lividus" (Lamarck, 1816) [PDF]
[Resumen] El erizo de mar común Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) es la especie diana de la pesquería de erizo en Europa. A pesar de que esta especie alcanza su máxima abundancia en las costas gallegas, la sobreexplotación de los bancos está ...

Investigating on the occurrence of Paracentrotus lividus in rocky and Posidonia oceanica habitat [PDF]
The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck) is the most common grazer in the Mediterranean infralittoral that at high densities overgrazes complex algal assemblages turning them into barren areas.

Recent studies have suggested that plant‐based proteins, such as algal powder, can partially replace fishmeal used in formulated aqua feeds while maintaining the growth performance of aquaculture species. In Taiwan, the traditional pickled cabbage industry produces high‐salinity wastewater rich in nutrients and microelements essential for plant growth.

Ocean acidification increases copper toxicity differentially in two key marine invertebrates with distinct acid-base responses. [PDF]
Published onlineJournal ArticleOcean acidification (OA) is expected to indirectly impact biota living in contaminated coastal environments by altering the bioavailability and potentially toxicity of many pH-sensitive metals.
