Tilapia is the second most farmed fish in tropical and sub-tropical countries worldwide. This study investigated effect of replacing meal by Spirulina platensis (groups fed with 5%, 10% 15% Spirulina) on growth Nile tilapia O. niloticus juveniles. Intestinal microbiota has been studied MiSeq Illumina sequencing. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed for protein, carbohydrate li...

Abstract The use of agrochemicals in agriculture may impact aquatic ecosystems, particularly influencing the stream insect communities. Among insects, family Chironomidae is most abundant and species-diverse group found freshwater ecosystems. However, southern hemisphere, studies with are still sparse, compared to Europe North America. present study evaluates responses species (Insecta: Diptera...

Many reports have demonstrated that the removal of aquaculture purse seine is conducive to restoration aquatic vegetation and improvement in water quality, but less attention has been paid effects on phytoplankton. This paper addressed response phytoplankton community structure after Caizi Lakes. The results showed average dissolved oxygen (from 7.43 ± 0.25 mg/L 9.12 0.49 mg/L) Secchi depth 28....

The somatic and populational growth of living organisms is affected directly and indirectly by the environment (Nikolskii, 1969; Weatherley, 1972; Pauly, 1984; Margalef, 1995). A direct effect is metabolism change (much more apparent in ectotherm organisms); indirect effects include variable food availability and differing vulnerability to predation since temperature and other physical variable...
