Utilization of Fishponds as Retention Areas in Flood Risk Management

In addition to their importance for biodiversity and food production, Austrian carp ponds fulfill essential hydrological functions. Water retention, in particular, is becoming increasingly important, both during dry periods and during heavy rainfall events. During the floods in S...

Seawater sprinkling promotes swim bladder inflation and reduces lordosis during mass-scale seed production in the leopard coral grouper Plectropomus leopardus

Abstract Lordosis caused by failed swim bladder inflation (SBI) is a major constraint on the production of Plectropomus leopardus . During seed production, an oil film applied to prevent surface trapping impedes air gulping and hinders SBI. We developed a full-surface seawater sp...

Transcriptome-Based Analysis of the Effects of Salt Stress on the Embryos of Hypomesus nipponensis

The increasing salinization and alkalization of inland waters in China pose a growing threat to the early developmental stages of fish. This study investigated the survival rates and transcriptomic response mechanisms of pond smelt (Hypomesus nipponensis) embryos, a species natur...
