Marine amphipods (Parhyale hawaiensis) as an alternative feed for the lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus, Perri 1810): nutritional value and feeding trial [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Finding new alternatives to traditional live preys such as Artemia and rotifers, which do not always promote optimal fish growth and survival, is required for the successful aquaculture of highly specialized predatory species, including seahorses.

Moderate hypoxia mitigates the physiological effects of high temperature on the tropical blue crab Callinectes sapidus [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Dissolved oxygen (DO) and water temperature vary in coastal environments. In tropical regions, the ability of aquatic ectotherms to cope with hypoxia and high-temperature interactive effects is fundamental for their survival.

Sediment microbial community structure associated to different ecological types of mangroves in Celestún, a coastal lagoon in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Mangroves are unique coastal ecosystems, which have many important ecological functions, as they are a reservoir of many marine species well adapted to saline conditions and are fundamental as sites of carbon storage.

Sea Surface Temperature Modulates Physiological and Immunological Condition of Octopus maya [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Octopus maya is a valuable endemic species of the Yucatán Peninsula (YP). This area can be divided into distinct regions depending on the presence of cold waters associated to upwelling events during spring and summer.

Image dataset acquired from an unmanned aerial vehicle over an experimental site within El Soldado estuary in Guaymas, Sonora, México [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2020 It is well known that remote sensing is a series of procedures which detects physical characteristics of the earth surface by remotely-measuring its reflected and emitted radiation using cameras or sensors.

Comparison of Aerobic Scope for Metabolic Activity in Aquatic Ectotherms With Temperature Related Metabolic Stimulation: A Novel Approach for Aerobic Power Budget [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Considering that swim-flume or chasing methods fail in the estimation of maximum metabolic rate and in the estimation of Aerobic Scope (AS) of sedentary or sluggish aquatic ectotherms, we propose a novel conceptual approach in which high metabolic rates ...
