This paper decomposes freshwater ecosystem services in multiple dimensions. From the perspective of consumers’ willingness to pay for ecosystem services, using the survey data of 821 consumers in China, the influence of various dimensions of freshwater ecosystem services on consumers’ willingness is explored by the structural equation model. The results show that: (1) consumers already have a certain awareness of freshwater ecosystem services, but the proportion of consumers willing to pay extra for them is not high; (2) the individual characteristics (age, gender, education, and income ) affect consumers’ willingness to pay for freshwater ecosystem services value, but the impact degree is not high; (3) regulating, cultural, and provisional servers functions of freshwater ecosystem services significantly affect consumers’ willingness to pay, especially freshwater ecosystem services’ role on regulating carbon emissions, controlling algal biomass, enhancing local fishery culture and improving leisure and leisure entertainment services. This study is helpful to deeply understand consumers’ willingness to pay for various dimensions of freshwater ecosystem services and provide more targeted and detailed guidance for realizing it.","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135592324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of regeneration after autotomy are largely unknown. In this study, we conducted RNA-seq sequencing on regenerated limb bud tissues of Litopenaeus vannamei at 0 hours post autotomy (0 hpa), 12 hours post autotomy (12 hpa), and 24 hours post autotomy (24 hpa). A total of 2,192 differentially expressed genes related to energy metabolism, transcription and translation, and epidermis development were identified between 0 hpa and 12 hpa, such as triosephosphate isomerase A, triosephosphate isomerase B, and zinc finger protein 367 that is upregulated in 12 hpa. Between 12 hpa and 24 hpa, 1,447 differentially expressed genes were identified that were related to cuticle development and energy metabolism, such as cuticle protein 6, which is upregulated in 24 hpa, and triosephosphate isomerase is downregulated in 24 hpa. The results indicated that energy metabolism, transcription and translation, epidermal formation, and chitin metabolism processes are involved during the early stage of limb regeneration. This study provides basic knowledge for investigating the molecular mechanisms associated with limb regeneration in crustaceans at the early regeneration stage.","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The control group was fed a commercial diet, and the MCE group was fed the same commercial diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg MCE. There were three tanks in each group. This trial lasted for six weeks. Compared with the control group, the European eels in the MCE groups had a higher richness and diversity of intestinal microbiota. At the phylum level, European eels in the MCE group had higher relative abundances of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria and lower relative abundance of Spirochaetae and Fusobacteria compared to those of the control group. At the genus level, the European eels in the control group had higher relative abundances of Streptococcus and Legionella . In comparison, the relative abundances of Bacillus , Anaerobacillus , and Sphingomonas were higher in the intestine of the European eels of the MCE group.

The fertilized eggs are round, slightly yellow, and viscous demersal. The egg diameter after water swelling was 1.47 ± 0.04 mm. Embryonic development can be divided into eight stages according to its major characteristics: blastoderm formation, mitotic, blastula, gastrula, neurula, blastopore closure, organogenetic and hatching stages. Under a water temperature of 24 ± 1 °C, salinity of 35 ± 1, and pH of 7.4 ± 0.5, the blastoderm began to form 35 min after fertilization. It entered the mitotic stage at 55 min, blastula stage at 220 min, gastrula stage at 460 min, neurula stage at 675 min, blastopore closure stage at 700 min, organogenetic stage at 900 min and hatching stage at 3390 min. The total length of newly hatched larvae was 4.07 ± 0.35 mm. Regression models of growth characteristics were obtained. The full-length growth rate was fastest from 15 to 26 days, with an average of 0.396 mm/day. Compared with other cyprinid fishes, green crucian carp exhibited some distinct characteristics in certain stages of embryonic development. The eye primordium developed before the sarcomere, and the heart rate was relatively high before the member stage. Yolk fluctuation was observed during the multi-cell phase of embryonic development. The sarcomere formed after the eye primordium. The heart rate in the hatching phase was 136 beats/min. This study provides a reference for embryonic development in green crucian carp, which will assist its large-scale cultivation.","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136024700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The changes in the chemical properties of the wastewater (pH, NO₄⁻-N, NO₂⁻-N, NO₃⁻-N, and o-PO₄³⁻) were measured. The values in the leachate and after treatment were measured as follows: NH₄⁺-N ranged from 18.03 to 476.2 mg/L, NO₃⁻-N ranged from 5.0 to 33.98 mg/L, NO₂⁻-N ranged from 1.49 to 7.06 mg/L, and PO₄³⁻-P ranged from 27.99 to 145.4 mg/L.

We assessed the genetic diversity of C. gigas populations from two farms (Tongyeong and Gadeokdo) on the southern coast, where about 80% of the cultivated oysters in Korea are produced. Tongyeong showed slightly higher diversity than Gadeokdo, but both populations had a similar genetic structure characterized by low nucleotide diversity. Comparative haplotype analyses provided data supporting genetic features of the populations that include (1) weak genotype-locality relationship, (2) low levels of gene flow between populations, and (3) possible seasonal fluctuation of genetic variation within a population. Furthermore, the highly alike haplotype network patterns were observed between the wild and farm populations as well as among the populations in neighboring countries, which suggests that the genetic structure is conserved between wild and hatchery populations, and geographic proximity has minimal influence on the genetic composition.","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82312683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
