The Optimal Dosage of Fermented Herbal Extract on Growth and Feed Efficiency of Nile Tilapia ().

Owing to their availability, cost effectiveness and environmental-friendly nature, plant extracts are promising additives for fish farming. This study aims to determine the optimal dosage of fermented herbal extract (FHE)-composed of (33.3%), (33.

Bridging the gap between sustainability and profitability: unveiling the untapped potential of sea cucumber viscera.

Sea cucumbers have high economic value, and in most forms of trade, their body wall is typically the only part that is harvested and sold. The organs of the sea cucumber, collectively known as the viscera, are frequently discarded, contributing to land and water pollution. However, discarded sea cucumber viscera contain various nutrients that can be used in many applications.

The Bio Economic Seaweed Model (BESeM) for modelling tropical seaweed cultivation - experimentation and modelling.

Unlabelled: The Bio Economic Seaweed Model (BESeM) is a model designed for modelling tropical seaweed cultivation. BESeM can simulate the common tropical seaweed cultivation system with multiple harvests per year, clonal reproduction and labour intensive harvesting and replanting activities. Biomass growth is modelled as a sigmoid, with growth being initially exponentially and eventually flattening off towards a maximum weight per plant or per square meter ( ).

Sexual dimorphism in mud crabs: a tale of three sympatric species.

Sexual dimorphism is a common phenomenon in the animal kingdom. To test the consistency of sexual dimorphism patterns among sympatric species of the same genus, ten morphometric characteristics of mud crabs , and were measured and compared using Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA). The descriptive analysis revealed that in all three species, body size dimensions and cheliped dimensions were significantly larger in males whereas the abdomen width was female-biased.

Increasing CO concentration impact upon nutrient absorption and removal efficiency of supra intensive shrimp pond wastewater by marine microalgae .

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of increasing CO concentration on the growth and the capability of . in removal of nitrate, ammonium and phosphate from shrimp pond wastewater (SPWW). The factorial experimental design was used with the treatment of SPWW percentage in culture medium, namely: 100% SPWW, 75% SPWW + 25% Sea Water (SW) and 75% SW + 25% SPWW coupled with three CO concentration treatments: 390 ppm, 550 ppm and 1000 ppm using CO system.

Morphological descriptions and morphometric discriminant function analysis reveal an additional four groups of spp.

There are four species of mud crabs within the genus , and most of them live sympatrically in the equatorial region. Apart from a report in Japan about the finding of a natural hybrid more than a decade ago after the division of genus into four species by Keenan, Davie & Mann (1998), no subsequent sighting was found. Thus, this study investigates the possible natural occurrence of potential hybridization among species in the wild.
