Freshwater crayfish are considered as aquatic products of high quality and nutritional value. The increasing demand has led to populations reduction in several locations throughout their range. Thus, the development appropriate rearing conditions is necessary, among which, optimization diet a basic part. Towards this direction, present study, 98-day feeding trial was carried out evaluate impact dietary fishmeal substitution by Hermetia illucens meal on Pontastacus leptodactylus juveniles...
Ascidian biofouling generates significant challenges to bivalve aquaculture. Their rapid spread across almost every available surface leads increased maintenance costs and reduced yields in shellfish farming. In addition, ascidians may introduce pathogens or toxins, further compromising the health marketability of stocks thereby necessitating strict management strategies manage these impacts. The aim this study was evaluation different practices for eliminating ascidian fouling...
Freshwater crayfish are amongst the largest macroinvertebrates and play a keystone role in ecosystems they occupy. Understanding global distribution of these animals is often hindered due to paucity distributional data. Additionally, non-native introductions becoming more frequent, which can cause severe environmental economic impacts. Management decisions related their habitats require accurate, up-to-date data mapping tools. Such currently patchily distributed with limited accessibility...
Tissue collection methods for sampling of biological material often present various drawbacks related to ethical concerns as well the conservation status many species. In this study, a conservative noninvasive technique genetic analyses was developed and optimized in three terrestrial gastropod species, namely, Cornu aspersum, Eobania vermiculata, Helix lucorum. Our approach involves minimal amount periosteum pedal mucus, providing viable alternative that does not harm organisms, combining...
Biofloc technology (BFT) offers an innovative eco-friendly approach that is particularly applicable in shrimp farming. Penaeus vannamei the most important seafood species terms of global economic value. Nevertheless, its increasing demand highlights necessity for sustainable production P. shrimps outside their native range, assuring avoidance genetic pollution risk. Towards this direction, present study focuses on feasibility tropical aquaculture indoor systems evaluating BFT application...
Abstract Biofouling constitutes one of the main obstacles in sector shellfish farming. Under this perspective, it is highly importance to critically combine updated information regarding invasive potential ascidian species, together with factors contributing toward these events. The biological features each species relation gathering non-indigenous Mediterranean basin represent first step mitigation negative effects phenomenon. Further, there are limited studies investigating physiological...
The use of antimicrobials is beneficial for livestock health; however, their overuse and misuse may increase resistance to these compounds. Thus, the aim present study was phenotypic molecular examination presence Escherichia coli antibiotic-resistant strains in broiler laying hen farms. E. examined against various antibiotics, including several families compounds such as penicillin class medications (ampicillin), cephalosporins (cefotaxime, cefoxitin, cefpodoxime ceftazidime), sulfonamides...
Freshwater crayfish are among the most important aquatic inhabitants in terms of ecosystem integrity retention. Although Astacus astacus and Pontastacus leptodactylus characterized by IUCN as vulnerable least concern, respectively, Greek official data local authorities report them highly endangered or threatened at levels. Therefore, all freshwater crayfishing activities from main producing areas Greece have been forbidden for 1 year since August 2021. Since aquaculture remains primarily...
Table olives are a major component of the Mediterranean diet and associated with many beneficial biological activities, which mainly related to their phenolic compounds. Olive fruit debittering process defines quantitative qualitative composition table in biophenols. The aim present study was evaluate vitro antioxidant capacity DNA-protective activity an extract originated from brine samples, according Greek style debbitering Kalamon olive fruits. main components determined were...
Abstract Narrow clawed crayfish, Pontastacus (Astacus) leptodactylus , represents an ecologically and economically valuable freshwater species. Despite the high importance of artificial breeding for conservation purpose aquaculture potential, hatching protocols have not been developed so far in this Further, limited knowledge exists regarding egg incubation, temperature effect on embryonic development, synchronization rate. In present study we investigated increase (from 17 o C to 22 C)...
Taking into consideration the essential contribution of Mytilus galloprovincialis farming, it is rising importance to add knowledge regarding bacterial species occurrence in water samples from aquaculture zones point view both organism and public health. In present study, we investigated community existing six areas Thermaikos gulf, northern Greece, that may provoke toxicity aquatic organisms humans indicate environmental pollution mussel production as well algal blooms. Bacterial were...
Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) (Decapoda:Astacidea:Astacidae) constitutes an ecologically and economically highly important species. In the present study, mitochondrial genome of freshwater crayfish P. from Greece is analyzed for first time, using 15 newly designed primer pairs based on available sequences closely related The coding part consists 15,050 base including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA gene (rRNAs), 22 transfer (tRNAs). These primers may be...
Cattle breeds or crossbreds with high productivity traits have been developed to meet a growing demand for food. When intensive farming practices are followed, animals face several challenges which can result in poor performance, compromised welfare and the reduced quality of their products. Our study aims highlight resting values physiological oxidative stress that three cattle exhibit, potential relationship meat quality. For this purpose, we determined levels five common redox biomarkers...
