Competition between wild and captive-bred Penaeus plebejus and implications for stock enhancement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The mechanisms that drive density dependence are rarely studied in the applied context of population management. We examined the potential for competition for food and shelter and the resulting demographic density dependence to influence how well ...

Surface morphology and distribution of oropharyngeal taste papillae in sharks and rays (Elasmobranchii, Chondrichthyes): Implications for gustatory sensitivity

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology, abundance, and distribution of taste papillae in the oropharyngeal cavity of a range of elasmobranchs using SEM, histology, and topographic analyses. The interspecific importance of gustation is reflected in quantitative differences in the size, density, and distribution of taste papillae, which have implications

Contribution of Amino Acids in Cereal Grain Products to Precision Feed Formulation for Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) Using a Digestibility Approach

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although cereal grain products have low protein content, they can contribute up to 25% of total protein in low‐trophic level/omnivorous fish diets. Thus, understanding the amino acid contribution of these ingredients becomes crucial for meeting the dietary requirements of omnivorous fish.

Courtship Behavior in \u3ci\u3eHabronattus Captiosus\u3c/i\u3e (Araneae: Salticidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Courtship display of Habronattus captiosus involves several behavioral elements common to other members of the Habronattus coecatus species group. The one unique element is vibration of the patellae when raised over the opisthosoma.

Abiotic stress destabilizes the bacterial community of sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae)

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract As climate change progresses, the intensity and variability of freshwater outflow into the ocean are predicted to increase. The resulting increase in low‐salinity events, paired with other abiotic stressors (including increasing temperatures), will be a source of stress for the kelp Saccharina latissima (Saccharina hereafter) and potentially ...

The influence of sleep disruption on learning and memory in fish

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Sleep is a ubiquitous process that has been conserved in animals. Yet, our understanding of the functions of sleep largely derives from a few species. Sleep is considered to play an important role in mental processes, including learning and memory consolidation, but how widespread this relationship is across taxa remains unclear.
