Summary: The ammonia tolerance capacity of different breeding families of Litopenaeus vannamei was compared. The results showed significant differences in ammonia adaptability among different families. Ammonia-tolerant L. vannamei may possess enhanced ability to excrete ammonia, better capacity to convert ammonia into less toxic products, and sufficient energy reserves for ammonia-compensating processes.

Summary: This study focused on evaluating a 23-year fisheries-independent dataset to clarify recruitment patterns of Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis and F. paulensis in Ubatuba Bay, Southeast Brazil. Generalized Additive Models showed that both species had similar patterns in early life stages, with higher abundance in certain months and specific environmental conditions, such as salinities and temperatures. Additionally, F. paulensis abundance increased under El Niño events. The study also indicated a need for better protection of these shrimp populations in the area due to high capture rates before the closed season.

Summary: The study evaluated the anesthetic efficacy of essential oils for two shrimp species, with induction times decreasing with concentration increase, and some mortality observed at the highest concentration of EOOG. Shrimp exposed to EOC and EOO had significantly shorter induction times, while those exposed to EOO had significantly longer recovery times. Overall, the action of essential oils differed significantly between the two shrimp species.

Summary: The study characterized the structure of juveniles and sub-adults of Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis and F. paulensis in the Cananeia-Iguape estuarine lagoon system and its adjacent coastal area. The growth parameters, longevity, and natural mortality differed between the two species, with females being more abundant than males. Juvenile recruitment peaked in January 2014, and the development time until the late juvenile phase was around 7 months for F. brasiliensis and 5 months for F. paulensis.

Summary: This study reports the complete mitochondrial genome of Farfantepenaeus duorarum and reveals its conserved gene order with congeners. The analysis of K-A/K-S ratios suggests that purifying selection is acting on all coding genes in F. duorarum's mitochondrial genome. This research provides valuable insights into the genomic features and evolutionary adaptations of F. duorarum.

Summary: This study found that salinity and time significantly affected the metabolic responses of tilapia, with oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion rates decreasing with increasing salinity. Protein metabolism played a minor role in osmoregulation balance, contributing less than 14.74% of total energy used for this purpose in Oreochromis niloticus.

Summary: Temperature, pH, salinity, and ammonia stress have adverse effects on the performance and well-being of aquatic organisms, especially those used in aquaculture. The induction of Hsp70 in these organisms improves their tolerance to subsequent abiotic stress. This study demonstrates the functional role of Hsp70 in stress tolerance using RNAi technology.

Summary: This study compared the metabolic effects of copper oxide nanoparticles with two different morphologies, nanorods and nanospheres. The experiments showed that the nanorods significantly affected the metabolic rate, ammonia excretion, and swimming ability of the fish, while the nanospheres did not have significant effects. It is concluded that the morphology of nanoparticles plays a crucial role in their toxic effects on fish metabolism.

Summary: This study assessed the antimicrobial action and ecotoxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) biosynthesized by Aspergillus niger fungus towards three freshwater organisms. The results showed that AgNPs exhibited antibacterial and antifungal actions. However, they also had adverse effects on the growth of microalgae and the survival of freshwater organisms. Although no acute toxicity was observed in adult zebrafish, AgNPs did induce physiological changes.

Summary: The economic feasibility of breeding marine ornamental fish in small spaces, especially for threatened species, was studied. The analysis showed that producing Yellow Neon Goby in urban aquaculture systems can be profitable, with the total cost of production per animal ranging from US$3.99 to R$8.03. Six out of the nine observed scenarios were profitable, with the net present value ranging from negative (unfeasible) to positive (viable), and the internal rate of return and return on capital showing profitability from the first to the sixth year of activity.

Summary: Estuaries play an important role in providing resting and foraging sites for birds. This study investigated the population dynamics of birds in Baixio do Arrozal, a wetland in Brazil, and found that species abundances varied across seasons. The results showed that bird populations were more abundant in spring/summer and decreased in winter, with migratory birds being present in autumn and spring. This highlights the importance of preserving the wetland for avifauna throughout the year.
