A phototaxis inhibition assay using barnacle larvae
The effects of sublethal concentrations of phenol and cadmium on the phototactic responses of the stage II nauplii of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite were investigated. Increased toxicant concentrations caused a reduction in phototactic responses. Balanus amphitrite nauplii exposed to nominal phenol concentrations of 100 ppm and higher for 1–12 h failed to exhibit phototactic responses, while l...
متن کاملsiRNA transfection in larvae of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite.
RNA interference (RNAi) provides an efficient and specific technique for functional genomic studies. Yet, no successful application of RNAi has been reported in barnacles. In this study, siRNA against p38 MAPK was synthesized and then transfected into A. amphitrite larvae at either the nauplius or cyprid stage, or at both stages. Effects of siRNA transfection on the p38 MAPK level were hardly d...
متن کاملToxicity effect of three kinds of colliodal silver nanoparticles on barnacle larvae Amphibalanus Amphitrite
In this study, the toxicity of colloidal silver nanoparticles produced from three companies (US NANO, Pioneers, Nanonasb Pars) in the larvae of barnacles Amphibalanus amphitrite was evaluated using standard OECD. These crustaceans are important economically and ecologically. In this research, the LC50 within 24 hours for nauplius stages II, III, IV, V and VI examined against toxicity of the thr...
متن کاملStable isotopic analysis of Barnacle larvae and their faecal pellets to evaluate the ingested food
Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen are useful in the evaluation of food web dynamics and have been used extensively in the feeding studies. Barnacles are dominant component of the intertidal and biofouling communities. Life cycle of barnacles include planktonic naupliar stages followed by a nonfeeding pre-settling cyprid stage. Development success of the nauplii depends on the food availabl...
متن کاملBarnacle larvae in ice: Survival, reproduction, and time to postsettlement metamorphosis
Late stage larvae (cyprids) of the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides frequently encounter freezing conditions along the northwest Atlantic coast. S. balanoides cyprids survived for more than 4 weeks embedded in sea ice, and a significant fraction of larvae held in ice up to 2 weeks successfully settled and metamorphosed after thawing. Larvae that completed metamorphosis continued to develop and r...
