Although the study of microplastics in aquatic environment incorporates a diversity research fields, it is still its infancy many aspects while comparable topics have been studied other disciplines for decades. In particular, extensive sedimentology can provide valuable insights to guide future research. To advance our understanding comparability natural sediments with microplastics, we take an interdisciplinary look at existing literature describing particle properties, transport processes,...
Aquaculture is essential for meeting the growing global demand fish consumption. However, widespread use of plastic and presence microplastics in aquaculture systems raise concerns about their impact on health safety products. This study focused Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), one most important species globally. The aim this was to investigate effects dietary exposure a mixture four conventional fossil fuel-based polymers (microplastics) adult juvenile tilapia. Two experiments were...
Abstract The Atlantic wolffish ( Anarhichas lupus ) is a cold-water species with the potential to diversify aquaculture in Northern countries. Few studies have investigated stress physiology of wolffish, and current knowledge on largely derived from closely related spotted minor ). In study, were exposed handling mimicking common husbandry conditions such as repeated air exposure net-chasing. Samples taken prior (pre-stress; control) well 5- 24-h post-stress. A series primary secondary acute...
The study of morphology is a common means biological grouping and classification. In recent years, morphometric studies have been dominated by quantitative geometric-morphometric methods data extraction such as outline or landmark-based analysis. These are often used in conjunction with various classification linear discriminant analysis (LDA) random forests (RF) order to achieve inter- intraspecific based on environmental factors. Despite numerous incorporating these data-extraction...
A nutritional bottleneck in salmonid aquaculture is the procurement of marine‐derived compounds, such as essential amino and fatty acids, including omega‐3 lysine, methionine. Therefore, insects containing these compounds are highly promising feed ingredients. The present study evaluates larvae a “marine” insect ( Coelopa frigida , bristly‐legged seaweed fly larvae, SWFL) reared on brown algae side streams ingredient for rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss ). SWFL contained, dry matter basis,...
ABSTRACT Size-selective harvesting of intertidal molluscs is a common practice. However, the effects long-term traditional remain unclear. Changes in mean shell size are generally taken as evidence changes intensity. also influenced by environmental pressures, which may confound analysis variation over time. In this study, we apply geometric morphometrics to historical data from two middens, an attempt classify Littorina littorea shells their origins, prior carrying out analysis. Using...
The mechanisms underpinning ionic transport and barrier function have been relatively well characterised in amphibians fish. In teleost fish, these processes mostly the gill intestine. contrast, remain much less clear for trunk skin of this study, we measured active rainbow trout, using Ussing chamber technique. effects epithelial damage, region, salinity, pharmacological inhibition were tested. Skin decreased significantly after infliction a superficial wound through removal scales. Wound...
