Long-Term Survival of Hydrated Resting Eggs from Brachionus plicatilis
BACKGROUND Several organisms display dormancy and developmental arrest at embryonic stages. Long-term survival in the dormant form is usually associated with desiccation, orthodox plant seeds and Artemia cysts being well documented examples. Several aquatic invertebrates display dormancy during embryonic development and survive for tens or even hundreds of years in a hydrated form, raising the ...
متن کاملControl of the bacterial flora of Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia franciscana by incubation in bacterial suspensions
The accumulation of bacteria in Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia franciscana during a Ž . short-term incubation was quantified using immunocolony blot ICB and an enzyme-linked Ž . immunosorbent assay ELISA . Four bacterial strains, isolated from turbot and halibut, were Ž 7 y1. grazed effectively by both species when given at high concentrations G5=10 bacteria ml . B. plicatilis accumulated 21...
متن کاملAnalysis of Expressed Sequence Tags of the Cyclically Parthenogenetic Rotifer Brachionus plicatilis
BACKGROUND Rotifers are among the most common non-arthropod animals and are the most experimentally tractable members of the basal assemblage of metazoan phyla known as Gnathifera. The monogonont rotifer Brachionus plicatilis is a developing model system for ecotoxicology, aquatic ecology, cryptic speciation, and the evolution of sex, and is an important food source for finfish aquaculture. How...
متن کاملMass culture of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis and its evaluation as a food for larval anchovies
Growth rates of anchovy larvae, Engraulis mordax, reared for 19 days under constant environmental conditions on a diet of laboratory-cultured organisms, exceeded the growth rates of anchovies fed on a diet of wild plankton. The rotifer Brachionus plicatilis was found to be a nutritious food source when fed to the larvae in concentrations of 10 to 20/ml and in combination with the dinoflagellate...
متن کاملInduction of sexual reproduction in Brachionus plicatilis (Monogononta, Rotifera) by a density-dependent chemical cue
Induction of mixis (sexual reproduction) in rotifers of the genus Brachionus is believed to be triggered by a chemical that is released into the water and accumulates at high population densities. However, direct and conclusive evidence for this hypothesis is thus far lacking. In this study, two mass cultures of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis were monitored as they grew from low to high popu...
