In recent years, probiotics specifically lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have proven to be an environmentally friendly alternative to antibiotics to maintain aquatic animal health. In this study, five strains of indigenous LAB isolated from traditional and non-traditional sources were evaluated for their potency in the prevention of vibriosis in brine shrimp, Artemia salina as a model organism. The LAB were well tolerated at all doses, and no negative effects on the hatching ability of brine shrimps were observed when exposed to Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KCFe63 and Limosilactobacillus fermentum NCCu21. Furthermore, all the tested LAB were able to protect the brine shrimp from the pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus under co-exposure and pre-exposure conditions. Molecular docking analysis revealed a high binding affinity of common probiotic metabolites lactic, butyric and propionic acids to the PirAvp and PirBvp proteins of V. parahaemolyticus which can prevent toxin formation and thereby acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND). Overall results suggest that two strains, L. plantarum KCFe63 and L. fermentum NCCu21, are suitable candidates to reduce the incidence of vibriosis and AHPND during brine shrimp cultivation.","PeriodicalId":18195,"journal":{"name":"Marine Biology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42293851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of category-5 tropical cyclone Amphan (landfall on 20 May 2020 near the Ganges estuary mouth) on the copepod community of the Ganges estuary were studied. Copepod assemblages were sampled before (February–December 2019), shortly after (31 May–12 June 2020) and post-(September–November 2020) Amphan periods. It was hypothesized that shortly after Amphan a relatively homogeneous community consisting of a few estuarine specialists would succeed but that would soon be replaced by a heterogeneous one; however, those specialists would continue their dominance. Shortly after Amphan species richness declined but the recovery process was completed within months, led by Paracalanus parvus, Bestiolina similis, Acartia spinicauda, Acartiella tortaniformis and Oithona brevicornis. Spatial homogeneity of the community that prevailed in pre- and shortly after Amphan was lost in post-Amphan. The unilateral dominance of B. similis observed in the pre-Amphan period was challenged by P. parvus, A. spinicauda, A. tortaniformis and O. brevicornis after Amphan. Shortly after Amphan A. spinicauda proliferated and co-dominated the estuary with A. tortaniformis but the latter replaced the former within a few months. The copepod community experienced rearrangements in species composition, abundance and dominance hierarchy; therefore, its regular monitoring is recommended.","PeriodicalId":18195,"journal":{"name":"Marine Biology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49186499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GN characterizes the quality of zooplankton as a food source for small pelagic fishes which dominate Black Sea fishery. The retrospective analysis of zooplankton biomass constituents in coastal and open sea waters retrieved from published papers was complemented by an 11-year sampling (up until 2021), across the Crimean shelf. The comparison over regions (represented by the north-eastern, the northern, the north-western, the southern and the open sea) showed that the jellyfish Aurelia aurita, the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, and the dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans act as major contributors to the total gelatinous biomass of the 2000s, on a basin scale. On average, the wet gelatinous biomass is about one hundred times that of the non-gelatinous one.

As belonids are highly migratory fishes utilising various parts of the seascape, increased fishing pressure may disrupt connectivity patterns on different spatiotemporal scales and disaggregate populations. Using the COI gene, this study assessed the genetic population structure, connectivity patterns, and historical demography of T. crocodilus collected in seven sites spread along Tanzanian coastal waters. Results showed fourteen haplotypes with low overall nucleotide and haplotype diversity. Pairwise FST comparisons revealed no significant differences among the sampled sites, except for the northernmost site (Tanga) and an island in the south (Songosongo). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed a non-significant genetic structure among populations (FST = 0.01782), suggesting the fishery across Tanzanian waters exploits the same population. Moreover, there was no correlative relationship between genetic and pairwise geographic distances, rejecting the isolation by distance hypothesis. However, neutrality tests and mismatch distribution analysis revealed that recent demographic expansion might exist. Empirical evidence of panmixia suggests high genetic connectivity. In combination with low genetic diversity, management should be directed to actions that prevent genetic diversity loss and the effect of genetic drift on populations.","PeriodicalId":18195,"journal":{"name":"Marine Biology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43140069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the effect of inbreeding on C. gigas is critical to the long-term feasibility of breeding programmes, especially when selected lines are developed in hatcheries with limited effective population sizes. The effect of inbreeding on stress resistance in C. gigas remains to be explored. The present study evaluated the physiological and immune responses to different temperatures (16–36°C) and salinities (20–40 psu) in an inbreeding line and a wild population of C. gigas. Two physiological parameters, including ammonia-N excretion rate (AER) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR), and three enzyme activities including superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), catalase activity (CAT), and contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured on day 14 of the temperature and salinity exposure. Compared with the wild population, the physiological parameters (AER and OCR) were significantly lower, and the enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, and MDA) were significantly higher in the inbreeding line at suboptimal temperatures or salinities. These results showed that inbreeding has negative effects on stress resistance in C. gigas. In addition, multiple groups with different inbreeding levels would be needed to quantify the effects of inbreeding on stress resistance in C. gigas. KEY POLICY HIGHLIGHTS This is the first study to examine the effect of inbreeding on the stress resistance of C. gigas under temperature and salinity challenges.

In this study, we describe for the first time the tube-building behaviour of Ceriantheomorphe brasiliensis and detail its behaviour in natural habitat, including illustrations and videos of live specimens. Our results showed that C. brasiliensis can build more than one tube throughout its life, the tubes are usually ‘L-shaped’, longer than the polyp, and vertically oriented when built in deeper substrates, but horizontally oriented when built in shallower substrates. During tube construction, the polyp does not feed or use its tentacles to catch or select specific sediment particle sizes for tube construction. Given the vertical orientation of the tube, it is possible that the tube-building behaviour of C. brasiliensis differs from that of other species. Although this study only included a single specimen, the behaviours observed were constantly repeated by the animal in every test, from the first trial to the last, suggesting that they can occur on occasion. Furthermore, this research contains useful information that may guide future studies of tube-building behaviour in Ceriantharia which are, currently, non-existent.","PeriodicalId":18195,"journal":{"name":"Marine Biology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44586866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
