This work addresses the most relevant advances in breeding and rearing of marine ornamental species. The main breakthroughs fish culture are discussed, with seahorses deserving a section their own as result conservation status unique biology. Details on spawning, embryo development, larval rearing, plankton culturing, tank design presented. In addition, increase popularity invertebrates reef aquariums, details culturing techniques some traded invertebrate groups (e.g., live rocks, corals,...
Seahorses are currently experiencing an unprecedented level of anthropogenic pressure promoted by habitat destruction and increasing fishing effort to supply premium markets. This study provides overview the scientific literature on seahorses in 21st century critically discusses five major knowledge gaps research opportunities advance state art this field. The average number publications per year increased from 10 (2001–2002) ∼40 (2001–2015), majority addressing issues seahorse ecology,...
Pipefishes (family: Syngnathidae) are representative fishes in many European coastal areas associated with vegetal assemblages and other shallow habitats. The polyandrous pipefishes Syngnathus abaster acus co-occur Metruk Tuzla (Bargilya Wetland - BTW, Aegean Sea, Türkiye ‒a protected but threatened wetland due to anthropogenic disturbances. Both species were sampled assess the growth temporal changes on their trophic features using stable isotope (δ13C δ15N) gut content analyses. exhibited...
ABSTRACT Spanish National Parks (NPs) are protected areas for biodiversity conservation, including two Maritime–Terrestrian NPs: The Atlantic Islands of Galicia, PNIA (NW Spain) and Archipelago Cabrera, PNAC (Balearic Islands). This study was aimed to conduct a 3‐year genetic survey syngnathid fish species (i.e. seahorses pipefish) identified in both NPs nearby unprotected areas, using mitochondrial microsatellite markers. A diversity with differential distribution among adjacent studied....
Syngnathids are considered as flagship species for marine conservation. Seahorses and pipefish highly vulnerable to anthropogenic environmental disturbances, but most currently Data Deficient by IUCN, requiring more biological ecological research. Although syngnathids well known their unusual breeding biology, some aspects on the ecology of this family have rarely received attention. The knowledge factors governing distribution is limited geographical regions. present study first approach...
Abstract A bacterial strain, characterized as Vibrio pelagius (Hq 222), was isolated from a turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.), larvae mass mortality in commercial fish farm Spain. Turbot larvae, post‐larvae (0.2 g) and juveniles (5 15 were experimentally infected. The bacterium appeared to be very virulent for post‐larvae, LD 50 being <5 bacteria mL −1 1 week post‐infection 3.9 × 10 5 at day 12 post‐infection. strain recovered pure culture the internal organs of infected fish....
A Gram-positive-staining, motile, rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacterium (BFLP-1( T)) was isolated from faeces of wild long-snouted seahorses ( Hippocampus guttulatus) captured in north-west Spain (Toralla, Galicia). Strain BFLP-1(T) grew at 10-30 degrees C and pH 5.5-9 (optimally 20 7.2) with 0-7 % (w/v) NaCl 2 NaCl). The G+C content the DNA 48.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain a member genus Bacillus most closely related to herbersteinensis...
Breeding in captivity for research or exhibition (e.g. aquaria) can replace the capture of wild specimens endangered species and allow controlled reinforcement populations. With this aim, diet analysis establishing adequate prey are determinant factors breeding success. However, non-invasive approaches such as faecal DNA advisable analysing these species. Therefore, aim present study was to demonstrate usefulness by specific PCR amplification assessing seahorse Hippocampus guttulatus. In a...
