Microplastics are present throughout the marine environment and ingestion of these plastic particles (<1 mm) has been demonstrated in a laboratory setting for a wide array of marine organisms. Here, we investigate the presence of microplastics in two species of commercially grown bivalves: Mytilus edulis and Crassostrea gigas. Microplastics were recovered from the soft tissues of both species. ...

Copepods are small crustaceans that dominate most zooplankton communities in terms of both abundance and biomass. In the polar oceans, a subset large lipid-storing copepods occupy central positions food web because their important role linking phytoplankton microzooplankton with higher trophic levels. this paper, we generated high-quality de novo transcriptome for Rhincalanus gigas, largest—and...

Oyster (Crassostrea gigas), the main ingredient of oyster sauce, has a strong umami taste. In this study, three potential peptides, FLNQDEEAR (FR-9), FNKEE (FE-5), and EEFLK (EK-5), were identified screened from alcoholic extracts gigas) using nano-HPLC-MS/MS analysis, iUmami-Scoring Card Method (iUmami-SCM) database molecular docking (MD). Sensory evaluation electronic tongue analys...

Two specimens of Argyropelecus gigas and Conocara fiolenti were collected from off the city Salalah on Arabian Sea coasts Oman. The represent first confirmed record species northwestern quadrat Indian Ocean. Meristic morphometric characters match those described for these species.

Aim The global decline of megafauna is believed to have had significant and widespread ecological impacts. One such extinction likely important consequence the 18th century Steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas); however, little has been written about how loss this megaherbivore may impacted coastal ecosystem dynamics. Drawing on historical evidence, biology, kelp forest ecology, ecology extant...

O Arapaima gigas (Schinz, 1822) é um peixe que habita os rios amazônicos, de suma importância ecológica, e por apresentar elevado valor comercial sobrepesca, corre risco extinção. Além disto, atrativo para a piscicultura devido ao bom rendimento zootécnico. Um dos entraves produção do pirarucu em cultivo são as doenças parasitarias intervém na quantidade qualidade peixes cultivados. Os endopara...

Copper (Cu) toxicity is an increasing concern in marine environments; however, its effects are species- and area-specific. In this study, area-specific Cu test was conducted on the sensitive early life stages (i.e., embryonic larval development) of two important fisheries species, namely, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) sea squirt (Halocynthia roretzi) using natural waters collected from thr...

In fish, bacteriosis has been widely linked with Aeromonas species, but co-infection by these bacteria little addressed. The aims of this study were to report on an outbreak disease in pirarucu Arapaima gigas caused and investigate experimental characterize resistance profile, virulence factors phenotypic molecular differentiation. Fish samples clinical signs collected used co-infection. bacter...
