Aquaculture threatens natural resources by fishing down the sea to supply fishmeal. Alternative protein sources in aquafeeds can provide a solution, particularly those that are waste from other operations and thereby reduce feed production costs.

Ranking stressor impacts on periphyton structure and function with mesocosm experiments and environmental-change forecasts. [PDF]
Streams are being subjected to physical, chemical, and biological stresses stemming from both natural and anthropogenic changes to the planet. In the face of limited time and resources, scientists, resource managers, and policy makers need ways to rank ...

Unifying microorganisms and macrograzers in intertidal rocky shore ecological networks. [PDF]
Abstract Over the past decades, our understanding of the vital role microbes play in ecosystem processes has greatly expanded. However, we still have limited knowledge about how microbial communities interact with larger organisms. Many existing representations of microbial interactions are based on co‐occurrence patterns, which do not provide clear ...

Impacts of warming on top-down and bottom-up controls of periphyton production [PDF]
Global warming profoundly impacts the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. Nonetheless, the effect of warming on primary producers is poorly understood, especially periphyton production, which is affected both directly and indirectly by temperature ...

Herbicides are well known for unintended effects on freshwater periphyton communities. Large knowledge gaps, however, exist regarding indirect herbicide impacts on primary consumers through changes in the quality of periphyton as a food source (i.e ...

Global mapping of freshwater nutrient enrichment and periphyton growth potential
Periphyton (viz. algal) growth in many freshwater systems is associated with severe eutrophication that can impair productive and recreational use of water by billions of people.

Denitrification Associated with Periphyton Communities [PDF]
Scrapings of decomposing Cladophora sp. mats (periphyton) covering stream bed rocks produced N 2 O when incubated under N 2 plus 15% C 2 H 2 . Denitrification (N 2 O formation) was enhanced by NO

Phosphorus and metals immobilization by periphyton in a shallow eutrophic reservoir
: Aim: This study evaluated and compared the changes in the Total Phosphorus (TP) and metals (Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb) contents and accumulation rates in the periphyton on different substrate types (PET and glass) in wet and dry periods in a shallow eutrophic
