Seasonal patterns of settlement and growth of introduced and native ascidians in bivalve cultures in the Ebro Delta (NE Iberian Peninsula)
(Elsevier, 2017-11-13)
Ascidians are important both as invasive species and as a fouling group in artificial marine habitats, causing negative impacts in aquaculture settings and the surrounding environment. The Ebro Delta ...
Effects of enhanced hydrological connectivity on Mediterranean salt marsh fish assemblages with emphasis on the endangered Spanish toothcarp (Aphanius iberus)
(PeerJ, 2017-02-28)
The hydrological connectivity between the salt marsh and the sea was partially restored in a Mediterranean wetland containing isolated ponds resulting from former salt extraction and aquaculture activities. ...
Vitamin A Affects Flatfish Development in a Thyroid Hormone Signaling and Metamorphic Stage Dependent Manner
(Frontiers Media, 2017-06-30)
Vitamin A (VA) and retinoid derivatives are known morphogens controlling vertebrate development. Despite the research effort conducted during the last decade, the precise mechanism of how VA induces ...
Pentaplacodinium saltonense gen. et sp. nov. (Dinophyceae) and its relationship to the cyst-defined genus Operculodinium and yessotoxin-producing Protoceratium reticulatum
(Elsevier, 2017-12-16)
Strains of a dinoflagellate from the Salton Sea, previously identified as Protoceratium reticulatum and yessotoxin producing, have been reexamined morphologically and genetically and Pentaplacodinium ...
Population genetics of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) introduced in North America and Europe
(Nature Research, 2017-01-03)
Globally, the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) stands as the second most important bivalve
species in fisheries and aquaculture. Native to the Pacific coast of Asia, it is now well-established ...
High genetic variability of Alexandrium catenella directly detected in environmental samples from the Southern Austral Ecosystem of Chile
(Elsevier, 2017-12-21)
Chilean waters are often affected by Alexandrium catenella, one of the leading organisms behind Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). Genetic variability for this species are commonly carried out from cultured ...
Temperature effects on the growth and survival of tdh positive Vibrio parahaemolyticus in tissues of postharvest Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum)
(Elsevier, 2017-10-31)
Bivalve storage at inadequate temperatures contains greater densities of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The objective of the present study was to determine if there were any differences in growth and survival ...
