We studied the behaviour of #AtlanticSalmon and #BrownTrout post-smolts in a marine protected area to safeguard Atlantic salmon populations. Species-specific differences were observed, with important implications for conservation efficacy. bit.ly/ab00777
Constructed dams on the main pathway of the Gorganroud River could not prevent extreme floods. Flooding caused sharp reductions in macroinvertebrate abundance. Maintaining environmental flows is critical for ecosystem resilience. bit.ly/ab00776

ALT A split photograph showing a dramatic landscape transformation due to flooding. On the left, a dry, cracked earth riverbed is visible under a clear sky. On the right, the same location is completely submerged under deep, muddy blue water. The juxtaposition powerfully illustrates the severe impact of flooding, submerging the land and altering the entire environment.

Video recordings show submerged spawning of #mudskipper Periophthalmus variabilis in the egg chamber of its burrow. The occasional creation of a water current by the male during hatching could help larvae to leave the burrow.

This study analyzed the transcriptional level of genes related to phytoene and astaxanthin synthesis, and it indicates that 6 g per litre NaAc and induction for 12 days provides the optimal inducing conditions for astaxanthin accumulation in H. pluvialis. bit.ly/ab_29_155
