1522-2055
Subject:
Brachionus plicatilis; Copepoda; Monodactylus; aquaculture; eggs; fish; larval development; metamorphosis; mortality; nauplii; water quality
Abstract:
... Experiments were conducted on Guinean Fingerfish Monodactylus sebae to evaluate egg and larval stocking densities, stocking methods, water quality effects on egg hatching success, and the effects of different live food organisms on larval growth and survival. Egg hatching percentage was determined for four egg stocking densities (10, 20, 30, and 40 eggs/L). The lowest stocking density, 10 eggs/L, ...

Abstract:
... As the popularity of marine aquaria grows, the potential exists for increased harvest of marine ornamental fishes and invertebrates from the oceans around the world. Aquaculture may be an alternative source to wild capture fisheries if commercial production protocols can be developed for species of interest, however numerous impediments must be overcome. Experiments were conducted on the reef butt ...

Abstract:
... Anthropogenic intervention along with natural variability can both influence and compromise continued ecosystem functioning. Ecological network analysis (ENA) was used to explore ecosystem functioning following disturbances to food web networks of a South African estuary, Mdloti, under different seasons. Keystone species, in particular, play an important structural role in spite of having low leve ...

Abstract:
... Gracilaria dura is an important red alga having the potential for commercial farming. To cultivate this alga, the floating bamboo raft method was employed. The study was carried out during October 2010 to September 2012 at the southeastern coast of India. The impacts of seasonal variation, initial seed density, harvest period, depth, and epiphyte and epifauna attachment on the raft were analyzed. ...

Abstract:
... Although predation has been identified as an important community driver, the role of predator diversity in structuring estuarine zooplankton has not been assessed. As such, we investigated the effects of two different zooplanktivorous fish species on the estuarine zooplankton community during a 12-day mesocosm study. Three experimental treatments were established, whereby natural zooplankton commu ...
