Larval performance and skeletal deformities in farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed with graded levels of Vitamin A enriched rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis)
Ignacio Fernández,Francisco Hontoria,Juan B. Ortiz-Delgado,Yannis Kotzamanis,Alicia Estévez,Jose L. Zambonino-Infante,Enric Gisbert +6 more
TL;DR: The sensibility of the developing skeletal structures to dietary VA levels should incline us to test lower doses of VA in live preys enrichments during early larval stages and higher doses afterwards, as seen by the high incidence of skeletal deformities in fish fed different doses of dietary VA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersal of invasive and native brine shrimps Artemia (Anostraca) via waterbirds
Andy J. Green,Marta I. Sánchez,Francisco Amat,Jordi Figuerola,Francisco Hontoria,Olga Ruiz,Francisco Hortas +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that large numbers of viable eggs of A. franciscana and native Artemia parthenogenetica were dispersed by Redshank Tringa totanus, Blacktailed Godwit Limosa limosa, and other shorebirds migrating through the Iberian Peninsula, the most extensive field demonstration to date that invertebrates can disperse readily via gut passage through birds.
Book ChapterDOI
The American brine shrimp as an exotic invasive species in the western Mediterranean
Francisco Amat,Francisco Hontoria,Olga Ruiz,Andy J. Green,Marta I. Sánchez,Jordi Figuerola,Francisco Hortas +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the native species can be rapidly replaced by the exotic species, and suggest that these exotic A. franciscana populations originate as intentional or non-intentional inoculations through aquacultural (hatchery effluents) or pet market activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological characterization of adult Artemia (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) from different geographical origin. Mediterranean populations
Journal ArticleDOI
Two novel Anemia enrichment diets containing polar lipid
TL;DR: Two novel Anemia enrichment diets were tested against control diets of Super Selco (SS) (Artemia Systems, INVE, Ghent) and baker's yeast, with particular attention being paid to PC content, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels and DHA:eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) ratios.
