Shrimp is an important aquaculture species worldwide. The use of antibiotics to suppress disease outbreaks has led antibiotic resistance; however, probiotics or natural herbal additives can enhance the health farmed shrimp. In this study, effects formulations containing herbs and on shrimp farming were explored. Following indoor farming, returned outdoor ponds for 1 week in presence a fermented probiotic product. gut microbiota was surveyed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing at 1, 2, 3, 8 weeks...

The systematic revision of the family Peristediidae remains an unresolved issue due to their diverse and unique morphology. Despite popularity using mitochondrial genome research comprehensively understand phylogenetic relationships in fish, genetic data for peristediid fish need be included. Therefore, this study aims investigate genomic characteristics intra-family by utilizing analysis. relationship four species (Peristedion liorhynchus, Satyrichthys welchi, rieffeli, Scalicus amiscus)...

In recent decades, illegal wildlife trade has become a global problem that threatens the conservation of many species. To promote sustainable animal trade, plans must be developed and implemented locally. However, in protected aquatic still occurs places. understand current situation sales, we conducted sampling survey on eight sites Xiamen for 5 consecutive years. The results show sales behavior is widespread, but there are changes. Notably, proportion stores with fell from 17.7% 2018 to...

Pathogen populations in estuarine areas are dynamic, as they subject to multiple natural and anthropogenic challenges. Heavy rainfall events bring instability the aquatic environment estuaries, causing changes pathogen increased environmental sanitation public health concerns.

The rapid development of China’s economy has brought tremendous pressure to the marine ecosystem, and about 57% fish populations have been overexploited or collapsed. A series fisheries policies implemented successively improve decline resources. Over past decade, sector particularly increased focus on resource ecosystem sustainability, which led wider use stock management in China. Therefore, fishery assessment is crucial, such as assessing long-term changes biological information. This...

Coastal wetlands are characterized by high production and thus play an important role in global climate change. In past decades, the invasion of Spartina alterniflora has caused many problems coastal southeastern China, restoration such areas was mainly conducted replacing with mangrove plants. This may impact carbon storage dynamics areas. this study, stable isotopes (δ 13 C δ 15 N) molecular analysis were used to reveal artificial on Quanzhou Bay Estuary Wetland Natural Reserve. The major...

The quantitative evaluation of restocking and stock replenishment is essential for providing operational feedback implementing adaptive management future restoration projects. Since 2010, approximately 700 million juvenile shrimp (Penaeus penicillatus) have been released into Xiamen Bay, Fujian Province, China, each year, through programs. recruited were sampled three-year bottom trawl surveys from 2014 to 2017. biological characteristics catch equation used evaluate the effect...

In this study, we describe a nested PCR-DGGE strategy to detect Legionella communities from river water samples. The nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene was amplified using bacterial primer in the first step. After, amplicons were employed as DNA templates second PCR specific primer. third round of amplification conducted gain fragments apposite for DGGE analysis. Then total numbers genes observed bands products gained with primers diversity species. patterns are thus potential high-throughput...

In both ecological research and engineering, the selection of indicator species is crucial. Biodiversity has always been an important policy objective for ecologists environmental managers. Based on this target requirement, we developed a method that reveals individual contributions to biodiversity quantitatively identify during monitoring. The Siangshan Wetland in Hsinchu, Taiwan, was selected as application case. spread mangroves not only changed original habitat composition function...

This study presents a rare sesarmid cavernicolous crab, Karstama boholano (Ng, 2002), from Taiwan. genus and species are both new to We describe the diagnostic characteristics of Taiwanese specimen provide illustrations adult first zoea, as well photographs an in its natural habitat. The identity was confirmed by COI gene sequence morphological data. In addition, zoeal morphology breeding ecology Davie Ng, 2007 reported for time.

This paper presents an approach for incorporating species-conditional co-occurrence into models used the selection of marine indicator species. Mangrove invasion within Siangshan Wetland in Hsinchu, Taiwan, has changed original structures and functions habitats benthic organisms. The Hsinchu City Government ran a large-scale mangrove removal project from October 2015 to March 2016 restore wetland. From September 2016, we investigated biological effects on crabs their adjacent habitats....

This study presents a new species of free-living marine nematode, Ptycholaimellus luoyang sp. nov., from mangrove wetlands in China. The identification was confirmed by analyzing morphological characteristics and three genes: COI, 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA. is distinguished allied its short cephalic setae, cylindrical pharynx with anterior swelling, sclerotized transverse ridges occurring near the dorsal tooth, rod-like gubernaculum proximal, arch-like, slightly waved, middle curved, distally...

A hybrid P/N channel junctionless (JL) thin-film transistor (TFT) with back-gate bias (Vbg) has been demonstrated. By applying negative of Vbg = −8 V in gate length 50 nm shows excellent SS (&amp;lt;90 mV/dec), a negligible drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL), increased Ion versus decreased Ioff (ratio &amp;gt; 108), and high Vth modulation. The simultaneously via is attributed to smaller surface E-field at ON-state, significantly reducing the impact on interface traps thinner effective...
