Filter-feeding organisms are often keystone species with a major influence on the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems. Studies of filtering rates in such taxa are therefore vital in order to understand ecosystem functioning and the impact of natural and anthropogenic stressors such as parasites, climate warming and invasive species. Brine shrimps Artemia spp. are the dominant grazers in hypersaline ...

  This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of live food (Artemia urmiana) and commercial diet in rearing of Oncorhynchus mykiss larvae. Experiment started when larvae were 0.12g in weight. Triplicate groups of fish were offered one of four treatments: (1) a commercial starter food (2) live Artemia urmiana nauplii (for 3 days) (3) live Artemia urmiana nauplii (for 7 days) and (4) combin...

UNLABELLED Studies have shown fibers to be effective in reducing the appearance of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in rodents. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate the preventive effects of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and inulin prebiotics on the appearance of ACF in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The techniques used were: RT-PCR to evaluate the gene expression of p16, p21, p54, cycli...

due to the importance of adult artemia in aquaculture, information regarding the digestive enzyme activities variation with inexpensive diets has great importance in artemia at different life stages. in this study, the effect of different inexpensive diets on digestive enzyme activities, including trypsin, amylse and lipase of artemia urmiana was investigated in different life stages. the exper...

The red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) has one of the most valued fisheries in southeastern United States and been largely studied for its aquaculture potential with varied results that revealed production challenges. This study focused on addressing challenges larval rearing juvenile this species. Broodstock fish were acclimated a 60 m3 tank equipped recirculating system (RAS) temperature cont...

-The modification of the gut microbiota with new feed additives such as probiotics, prebiotics toward host protection is to support animal health. Out of these probiotics, prebiotics are widely used. Genomic knowledge about gut microbiota as well as its deviations will advance the selection of new and specific probiotics. The suitable combination probiotics, prebiotics decrease the risk of inte...

Background: Prior research on the microorganisms associated with the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, has mainly been limited to culture-based identification techniques or feeding studies for aquaculture. Our objective was to identify bacteria and archaea associated with Artemia adults and encysted embryos to understand the role of microbes in the Artemia life cycle and, therefore, their impo...
