In the rearing of first exogenous feeding, marine finfish larvae availability live prey with suitable size and nutritive content is vital for their growth survival. Copepods represent an important alternative food to present traditional feed organisms used in fish hatcheries. Use copepods known improve survival, growth, development larvae. The silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii (Lacepède, 1801...

Two euryhaline rotifers, the temperate species Brachionus plicatilis and tropical rotundiformis , were used to investigate effects of iron (FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O), an essential trace metal, on reproductive patterns lifetables, including metabolism lipid reactive oxygen (ROS). B. was more sensitive with regard sexual reproduction. While had no significant effect population growth at 0–48 μg/mL, it caus...

The environmental effects of nanoplastics-NPLs have been addressed mainly through short-term exposures to a few types polymers, neglecting other NPLs that are economically relevant like polymethylmethacrylate - PMMA. This work aimed assess long-term PMMA-NPLs on the marine primary consumer Brachionus plicatilis, evaluating influence different exposure routes (waterborne, foodborne and both) foo...
