Nutrient recycling by consumers in streams can influence ecosystem nutrient availability and the assemblage and growth of photoautotrophs. Stream fishes can play a large role in nutrient recycling, but contributions by other vertebrates to overall recycling rates remain poorly studied. In tributaries of the Pacific Northwest, coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) occur at high dens...

Microplastic (MP) sorption and transfer of chemical contaminants has been widely reported, yet few studies have investigated combined effects contaminant-loaded MPs on organisms. This study examined pristine or chlorpyrifos (CPF)-loaded polystyrene (PS)‎ fragments histopathological histomorphometrical biomarkers in rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss)‎. In laboratory, O. mykiss were exposed for...

The objective was to analyse the antibacterial ability of members of the intestinal microbiota of Oncorhynchus mykiss specimens on several bacterial target strains that contaminate food and cause disease in humans. Bacterial colonies from an intestinal portion of the 20 specimens of O. mykiss were obtained in different culture media. Several of the colonies showed antibacterial action on differ...

the object of this study was detecting protein and lipid contents on two types on iranian oncorhynchus mykiss & franciscan oncorhynchus mykiss for detect better samples on quality. in this research two methods were used for determining lipids (suxeleh) and proteins (kajheldal). results have revealed the lipid contents in iranian samples were 4.88 , 5.18 and 5.96 and in franciscan samples were 4...

This study evaluated the effect of probiotics (Clostridium butyricum, Bacillus coagulans) and Chinese herb polysaccharides (Astragalus polysaccharides, APS) on growth performance, immunity, disease resistance, intestinal microbiota rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Specimens O. mykiss (n = 360; 79.9 ± 2.2 g) were fed for 42 days with different diets containing a basal diet (control, C0), sup...
