Keeley, J.E., Sternberg, L.O. and DeNiro, M.J., 1986. The use of stable isotopes in the study of photosynthesis in aquatic plants. Aquat. Bot., 26:213--223. The ratio of ~3C/'2C for photosynthetic tissues of 22 aquatic species was unrelated to photosynthetic pathway. In three aquatic environments CAM and non-CAM species were shown to have similar 513C values. Although these CAM species derive u...

Aquatic organisms are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors, including pollution, parasites, invasive species and climate change. These factors interact in a diversity of ways. However few studies consider realistic ecological contexts taking into account the synergy between these factors on aquatic biota. Increasing interest has been devoted to the interactions between parasi...

This article describes educational approaches for training veterinary students, veterinary graduates, and practicing veterinarians in the area of aquatic animal health and lists a range of general research, training, internship/residency, and continuing-education resources.

Human health and aquatic animal health are organically related at three distinct interfaces. Aquatic animals serve as important contributors to the nutritional protein, lipid, and vitamin requirements of humans; as carriers and transmitters of many infectious and parasitic diseases to which humans are susceptible; and as indicators of toxic and carcinogenic substances that they can convey, in s...

Background: Absence epilepsy is a brief non-convulsive seizure that associated with sudden abrupt in consciousness. Because of the unpredictable occurrence of absence seizures and ethic limitation of human investigation on the pathogenesis and drug assessment led to the tendency to animal models. The aim of this paper is reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of several animal models of non...

The risk screening of non-native species that are likely to be invasive in a defined assessment area is crucial for implementing strategies rapid response and mitigation protect native biodiversity socio-economic activities. However, successful risk-ranking the screened species, scientifically defensible evidence support outcomes must provided, computation correctly calibrated threshold disting...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a very versatile halophilic organism that can adapt to a wide variety of environments and can cause infections in both humans and aquatic animals. This versatility in terms of host and habitat is attributable to the ability to acquire genes that improve fitness of the organism in different situations. Several genomic islands have been described in this organism. Human...
