BACKGROUND Dispersal is a primary driver in shaping the future distribution of species in both terrestrial and marine systems. Physical transport by advection can regulate the distance travelled and rate of propagule supply to a habitat but post-settlement processes such as predation can decouple supply from recruitment. The effect of flow-mediated recruitment and predation on the recruitment s...

Non-native species can alter ecosystem functions performed by native species often by displacing influential native species. However, little is known about how ecosystem functions may be modified by trait-mediated indirect effects of non-native species. Oysters and other reef-associated filter feeders enhance water quality by controlling nutrients and contaminants in many estuarine environments...

Abstract Mud crab ( Scylla serrata ) is a species that makes up biodiversity in mangrove areas spread across the coast of archipelago, one which Tugu District, Semarang City has area still relatively good. There need for research to determine viability based on environmental conditions, especially salinity affects osmoregulation and growth mud crabs individually populations. This aims patterns,...

Abstract Mangrove forests function as breeding, spawning, and nursery ground for various commercial such mud crabs. This study aims to analyze the habitat characteristics of crabs in mangrove ecosystem a breeding location on southwest coast Aceh Province. research was conducted districts Jaya, West Aceh, Southwest Aceh.The station sampling data measurement determined by purposive method. The in...

Mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) is a that has high potential and cultivated in mangrove areas, so many people keep crabs. However, there are still obstacles, including slow growth. The purpose of this study was to examine the use Fitoimun® mixed into feed see survival, weight growth, specific daily growth rate, conversion ratio, carapace width, which were reared silvofishery ponds Salo Palai Vil...

Abstract Mud Crab fattening is a relatively new business idea in Kenya and highly lucrative due to the reasonable prices offered at tourist hotels. This study was aimed developing appropriate culture techniques for Crabs maximize harvestable biomass by local communities avoid recruitment overfishing. Growth survival rates mixed sex investigated period of 230 days Mida Creek, Kenya, using bottom...

Abstract Salinity is one of the important factors affecting physiological state crustaceans in marine environments. Lipid plays major roles energy supply and main sources essential fatty acids for membrane integrity, which critical adaptations to changes salinity. Here we evaluated effects salinity (medium, 23 ppt low, 4 ppt) dietary lipid source (fish oil, FO soybean SO) on intestinal health c...
