Effects of diet and container type on growth and survival of altricial zebrafish,
Brachydanio rerio, larvae were determined. Microfeast® L- 10 (MF) supported growth and survival of zebrafish larvae during the first 10-12 days. Best results were obtained
with larvae fed on a combination of MF and Artemia nauplii in...
Mosquito-borne pathogens are the cause of important, often deadly diseases

Effects of spray-dried algae, Schizochytrium sp. and Haematococcus pluvialis, on growth and survival of Manila clam, Tapes philippinarum, spat were determined. Results of the present study showed that these two different spray-dried diets supported clam growth when added as supplements to rations of a mixed diet of the live algae...
Palmaria mollis (Pacific dulse) is increasingly being used in land-based marine aquaculture. This work elucidates nutrient, inorganic carbon, light, salinity, and temperature requirements of P. mollis as food for abalone species. Nutrient additions every 5 to 7 days resulted in no significant difference in P. mollis growth compared with daily...
