Summary: This study conducted genome sequencing and analysis of Apocyclops royi, a small aquatic crustacean. The researchers identified genes related to the shrimp Toll pathway and discovered a novel antimicrobial peptide. The expression analysis indicated the importance of these genes in the immune response of copepods. This knowledge can be applied to future functional studies and disease prevention in copepod aquaculture.

Summary: This study investigates the feeding behavior of the cyclopoid copepod Apocyclops royi and how it senses cells of Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae). The study finds that A. royi still exhibits ambush feeding behavior when feeding on S. cerevisae, and its sensitivity to fluid disturbances is similar to other copepod species. The researchers suggest that A. royi likely senses S. cerevisae cells by randomly touching them with setae on their first antennae, as remote detection of the non-motile yeast cells through hydromechanical signals is unlikely.

Summary: The copepod Apocyclops royi can survive and reproduce in freshwater for a period of time, but eventually stops reproducing due to the lack of vital ions. Metabolomics analysis showed significant changes in metabolites, with a large decrease in glycine betaine and a large increase in lactate in copepods challenged by freshwater. This study highlights the challenges and potential benefits of culturing A. royi in freshwater, as well as the possibility of developing a 'universal' live-feed product.

Summary: In this study, we identified PUFA biosynthesis-related genes in A. royi and found that copepodid and adult stages are high in LC-PUFAs. The increased gene expression in the adult stages is correlated with the higher concentration of DHA and EPA.

Summary: The study established an individual-based model to simulate the effects of salinity variations on copepod productivity, showing that peak productivity is reached within the optimal salinity range. Implementing the IBM into a life-cycle model is a useful tool for managing the risks of salinity variation on copepod productivity in aquaculture conditions.

Summary: The red archaea containing carotenoids were applied in aquaculture for the first time, showing positive effects on salinity tolerance and ammonia stress tolerance in Litopenaeus vannamei. The supplementation of Halorubrum may be linked to the antioxidative capacity of bacterioruberin, making it a high value feed additive in shrimp larviculture.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Artemia cysts can hatch on a solid medium without liquid, providing practical advantages. The researchers also found that silver nanoparticles have varying negative impacts on the hatching rate, development ratio, and growth length of Artemia. This new hatching method has applications in ecotoxicology studies and offers an efficient means to produce gnotobiotic brine shrimp.

Summary: The study evaluated the impacts of adult density on key biological parameters of the tropical estuarine copepod A. tropica, finding that a density of 1000 adults/L resulted in highest relative egg production and overall productivity. Conversely, the highest adult mortality and nauplii cannibalism were observed at a density of 2000 adults/L. Additionally, the population with an initial density of 2000/L stabilized at 1000 adults/L after 8 days culture.

Summary: The genetic parameters for egg production and clutch-related traits in indigenous Beijing-You chickens were estimated in this study. The results showed that the age at first egg for Beijing-You chickens was 174.45 days and had a high heritability of 0.62. The clutch traits were moderately to highly heritable, while the average pause length had a very low heritability.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of 'Biquinho' pepper as an alternative crop in regions with limited freshwater supply but availability of brackish water. Results showed that this crop has high salt tolerance and yield potential under certain conditions, making it a promising option for cultivation in semi-arid areas.

Summary: This research aimed to examine the nutritional status of a young population in climate-vulnerable coastal Bangladesh to inform appropriate intervention strategies. The study found that a significant percentage of the population was underweight, especially among women. Education and employment were associated with overweight or obesity. Multisectoral program strategies are needed to address malnutrition in this young age group, especially in climate-vulnerable coastal areas.

Summary: Understanding the laying pattern of birds is crucial for developing proper breeding schemes and management practices. A study comparing six chicken breeds found significant differences in clutch traits and egg production. The breeds with higher egg production had longer clutch lengths, while the less productive indigenous breed had shorter clutch lengths. Clutch length is a proper selection criterion for improving egg production, while age at first egg is an important trait to focus on for the indigenous breed.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of three microalgae-based diets on the biochemical composition and survival of calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa and rotifer Brachionus plicatilis. The results showed that using the binary diet I-R can increase protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids content in live feeds, with A. tonsa nauplii having higher nutritional value compared to B. plicatilis.

Summary: Reducing fighting behavior is crucial in lobster and crab aquaculture to enhance survival rates. Providing shelter and co-culturing with live prey can significantly improve the survival of juvenile lobsters and crabs, with live prey also serving as an additional income source during harvest season.

Summary: A two-year experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of Pollicipes pollicipes harvest on intertidal community structure and ecological diversity. The study found that intensive exploitation resulted in a decrease in P. pollicipes and Mytilus spp. coverage, while Chthamalus spp. and Corallina spp. increased. The recovery of P. pollicipes aggregations was slow and variable, but their coverage increased under non-extracted conditions.

Summary: This study evaluates the effects of bleaching on the oocytes of the Mussismilia harttii coral and investigates the strategies employed by these cells to maintain antioxidant balance and cellular homeostasis. The research finds that bleached coral oocytes experience lipid damage, but are still able to maintain their quality and potentially elongate their lifespan and fertilization capability. This response may be linked to an intensification of heterotrophy in bleached corals.
