Summary: This study observed the color preference of swimming crabs for shelters and found that they preferred blue shelters during the day, spending more time in them compared to other colors. The probability of fighting between crabs was relatively low in the presence of blue shelters. Based on these findings, blue shelters are recommended for use in swimming crab ponds.

Summary: Macrobrachium americanum is a large prawn species found in rivers and coastal water bodies of tropical and subtropical ecosystems in the Pacific side of the Americas. Its distribution is primarily determined by water temperature and salinity. Temperature also plays a significant role in its metabolic rate, growth rate, and reproduction.

Summary: Macrobrachium tenellum and M. americanum are common freshwater prawns from the tropical and subtropical Pacific continental side of the Americas. They have different biological attributes and are currently facing threats due to human impacts on their ecosystems. Both species offer varying quality products for human consumption, but are being intensively exploited without proper management.

Summary: Transplantation of bivalves to environments with different seston concentrations can lead to changes in the gill-to-palp ratio, affecting the filtering efficiency and growth conditions of the shellfish. However, the physiological plasticity of mussels allows them to adapt quickly to new feeding conditions, suggesting that observed lower yields may be more related to survival factors than feeding adaptations.

Summary: The field experiment showed that early post-emergence application of oxyfluorfen 200 g/ha effectively controlled wild onion in cumin, resulting in reduced weed density and dry matter, increased plant growth, and higher seed yield. The herbicide also had the highest efficiency in weed control, leading to superior net returns and benefit-cost ratio.

Summary: The study identified distinct morphological and functional characteristics of TSPCs under different culture densities. TSPCs cultured at low density exhibited better immunomodulatory responses, while TSPCs at high density showed greater differentiation potential. TSPCs demonstrated specific immunophenotypic profiles and immunomodulatory potential in response to inflammatory stimuli.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of stocking density on the growth performance, nutritional quality, and economic yield of female Chinese mitten crab in a rice-crab culture system. The results showed that increasing stocking density led to decreased growth rate and hepatosomatic index of the crabs. However, at a stocking density of 0.4 inds./m2, the crabs exhibited a higher gonadosomatic index, crude fat and crude protein levels, as well as a balanced amino acid composition in the muscle and ovary. Additionally, crabs at this density had higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and n-3 PUFA in the hepatopancreas, and higher levels of DHA, PUFA, n6 PUFA and DHA in the ovary. Furthermore, crabs at 0.4 inds./m2 also showed enhanced expression of growth and metabolism-related genes. Overall, the study suggests that a stocking density of 0.4 inds./m2 is optimal for rearing female Chinese mitten crab in a rice field, considering growth performance, nutritional value, and profitability.

Summary: Seasonal changes have a significant impact on the physiology of fish, as seen in this study on captive Chinese sturgeons. The results showed that seasonal variations affected the growth, innate immune parameters, and liver function of the sturgeons, with the male being more susceptible to these changes compared to the female.

Summary: Early-life environmental conditions can have lasting effects on later-life fitness. Individuals may use a predictive adaptive response to maximize fitness based on their early-life conditions. Our study tested predictions of the Future Lifespan Expectation hypothesis, and found a relationship between poor early-life conditions and subsequent fitness, but caution is needed when using juvenile telomere length as a measure of early-life conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the microbial diversity and functional prediction of rhizosphere microbes associated with wild and cultivated Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch plants. The results showed that the bacterial communities in wild samples were dominated by Proteobacteria, while Actinobacteria dominated the cultivated samples. The observed species number was higher in cultivated soil samples, and the weighted-unifrac distance of two cultivated samples was closer despite being from different regions.

Summary: This study compared the behavior and morphology of juvenile Chinook salmon reared under different densities and with or without structures. It was found that fish reared in low density preferred to stay in the starting box and took longer to leave it. Fish reared with structures were more likely to either bolt out of or stay in the starting box. The caudal fins of fish reared in low density and with structures were larger and more symmetrical. These results suggest that rearing conditions can influence the behavior and morphology of juvenile Chinook salmon.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of white shrimp farming using groundwater from the coastal aquifer in Guasave, Sinaloa. By conducting twenty-three vertical electrical soundings (VES) and analyzing ion content, a relationship between resistivity of the saturated formation (Ro) and resistivity of aquifer water (Rw) was established. The research found that, in most natural waters, the survival rate of shrimp larvae was higher than 60%, with only two sites showing improved survival in simulated seawater conditions. Building the Rw-Ro relation helped infer water quality and identify suitable drilling locations.

Summary: The impact of salinity on oxygen consumption rate and hemolymph osmotic pressure of Macrobrachium tenellum was studied in salinities ranging from 0 to 25 psu. The prawns showed hyper-regulatory behavior at lower salinities and hypo-regulatory behavior at higher salinities. The isosmotic point was identified at 16 psu, indicating the species' ability to successfully invade freshwater environments.

Summary: The morphological variations of Macrobrachium tenellum prawns from two populations in different locations in Oaxaca, Mexico were studied using geometric morphometry techniques. Significant differences in shape and size between the cephalothorax and the rostrum were found. There were significant interpopulation variations between specimens from different places, with a higher correlation between shape and size observed only in males. The differences between populations and sexes could be attributed to environmental pressures and a sexual selection mechanism.
