Both groups were investigated for fluorescence signals before and after exposure to a live shipping transportation simulation. The spines, chelae, eyestalks and cervical grooves of the cardiac region of <i>P. camtschaticus</i> fluoresce in the green spectra (∼500 nm), while the arthrodial membranes of the joints fluoresce in the red spectrum (∼680 nm). After the shipping simulation, we observed a significant decrease in fluorescence in the eyestalks (<i>p</i> = 0.009), while the cervical grooves showed a less significant change (<i>p</i> = 0.01). The hemolymph examined with 21 excitation wavelengths (250–350 nm) emitted fluorescence in ∼400–550 nm spectrum. We found a significant increase (<i>p </i>&lt; 0.05) in fluorescence for 16 excitation wavelengths after transport simulation. The results presented in this study indicate that king crab fluorescence changes due to external stimuli.

Blood glucose and cortisol levels increased with increasing ammonia levels, but blood cell counts decreased. The five selected candidate genes showed a differential expression pattern in response to the ammonia dose, with higher expression in the control group and lower expression in the treatment groups. The results indicate that different concentrations of ammonia impose stress on different orders of magnitude in the experimental fishes. Therefore, it can be inferred that the presence of ammonia in aquatic/farming environments can adversely affect production performance; the severity of damage during production depends on the concentration of ammonia.

We found no meaningful differences in abundance, and mean condition of Black Crappie populations whether Gizzard Shad were present or not.

Jeffs","doi":"10.1002/aff2.155","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/aff2.155","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The presence of wild fish in and around aquaculture habitats is often assumed a response to food resources within these habitats, either from input feed, the presence of cultured species, and/or the assemblage of biofouling that naturally colonises aquaculture structures. The nutritional quality of the food resources consumed by wild fish in aquaculture habitats is also important in determining their nutritional condition and subsequent productivity. Few studies have investigated the nutritional quality of prey in aquaculture habitats, and these have mostly focused on fed aquaculture by tracking manufactured fish pellets into the diets of wild fish. However, in non-fed aquaculture, the assemblage of cultured and biofouling species may also provide a nutritional benefit to fish feeding in these habitats. The Australasian snapper, <i>Chrysophrys auratus</i>, are commonly present as adults within coastal mussel farms in New Zealand and tend to become a resident species. This study investigated the nutritional quality of the gut contents of snapper in soft-sediment habitats within and outside of New Zealand green-lipped mussel farms. Total lipid, protein, carbohydrate and total calorific content were measured from the gut contents of snapper sampled from mussel farm and natural (i.e. control) habitats. Snapper in mussel farms had double the dietary intake of lipid (16% vs. 8%) from consuming lipid-rich bivalves and barnacles which are in abundance in mussel farms. Higher lipid intake can contribute to improved nutritional condition, reproduction and growth in snapper. However, the higher dietary lipid intake of snapper in mussel farms did not increase their overall body condition (i.e. Fulton condition index). This may be due to the coarse nature of this measure, or the use of the additional lipid in more rapid somatic growth or reproductive outputs, possibilities that warrant examination through further research. Overall, this study shows for the first time the potential ecosystem benefits of shellfish aquaculture in provisioning nutritionally valuable prey for coastal fish populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":100114,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aff2.155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140114255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The digestive system of lobsters is predicated on grinding feed to a fine particle size before digestion. Therefore, fine pregrinding of raw materials may bypass the need for extensive grinding in the proventriculus and expedite digestive and absorptive processes. <i>Panulirus ornatus</i> juveniles (<i>N</i> = 56) were allocated to four feed groups (<i>n</i> = 14). Groups A, B and C were fed nutritionally identical feeds featuring raw materials ground to 1000 µm (Feed A), 500 µm (Feed B) and 200 µm (Feed C) while the fourth group (Group S) acted as a 24-h nonfeeding baseline control group.

Analysis of deviance applied to mixed effects models did not identify significant differences in haemolymph properties across feed groups. Trends identified here are indicative of diurnal rhythm patterns, likely orchestrated by the release of the crustacean hyperglycaemic hormone (CHH) when anticipating a meal.

The results revealed that carbon and nitrogen in different feed substances have different influences on the growth and nutrient uptake by the prawn. Different growth stages showed isotopic switching within prawn muscles in the course of their building up. Generally, marine sources were the most enriched in both δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N.

Stream side channels and edges, where larval lampreys gather, are vulnerable to natural and human-caused dewatering. Water level reductions can strand and kill thousands of larval lampreys, in part because many remain burrowed until their habitats are exposed, at which point larvae must emerge and attempt to move over dewatered substrate to locate wetted habitat. Dewatering for restoration efforts or seasonal closures of irrigation canals can be done slowly to reduce lamprey strandings, but in some settings, mechanisms are lacking to control the dewatering rate. Phased dewatering, where water level is reduced in stages separated by periods of static water level, could provide options when dewatering rate cannot be tightly controlled. To guide this phased approach, information is needed on the movement capability of larval lampreys. We examined larval lamprey (<i>Entosphenus tridentatus</i> and <i>Lampetra</i> spp.) movement distance and rate over dewatered substrate at shoreline slopes of 1%, 5%, 10% and 20% in a laboratory setting and modelled results using gamma regression models. Model results suggest both movement distance and movement rate increased with increasing slope and increasing larval length. We used the models to predict minimum distances and rates that 90%, 75% and 50% of medium-sized (75 mm) lampreys would move over dewatered substrates on slopes of 1%–20%. The models predicted that 50% of larvae could move distances of ≥31 cm at rates of ≥0.7 mm/s on a 1% slope and distances of ≥502 cm at rates of ≥8.6 mm/s on a 20% slope. We present an example scenario of how information on larval movement capabilities and shoreline slope could guide phased dewatering events to limit impacts to lampreys.</p>","PeriodicalId":100114,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aff2.150","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139468282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
