A new species of the pontogeneiid amphipod Paramoera shakotanensis from the mouth of Horonaifu River, Hokkaido, Japan, is described. Paramoera shakotanensis sp. nov. can clearly be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following features: large eyes, deep antennal sinus without sharp incision, epimeral plate 3 with smooth posteri...

Ozone is a strong oxidant, and its use in aquaculture has been shown to improve water quality and fish health. At present, it is predominantly used in freshwater systems due to the high risk of toxic residual oxidant exposure in brackish water and seawater. Here, we report the effects of ozone on Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) post-smolts (~100 g)...
ABSTRACT The use of brackish water in hydroponic crops represents an alternative for vegetable production. In this context, two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of using brackish water to prepare the nutrient solution and replace the evapotranspired depth, applied at different flow rates, on cauliflower biometrics in NFT (nutrient ...
Åtgärdsprogram för sällsynta kransalger längs kusten Kransalger som växer runt våra kuster men hotas av ökad näringsbelastning och en omfattande exploatering av arternas livsmiljö. Åtgärdsprogrammet har som mål att det ska finnas livskraftiga bestånd av de tre arterna raggsträfse, barklöst sträfse och axsträfse över hela deras potentiella utbrednin...
The availability of brackish groundwater in the Negev Desert, Israel has motivated the cultivation of various salinity tolerant crops, such as olives trees. The long term suitability of surface drip irrigation (DI) or subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) in arid regions is questionable, due to salinity concerns, in particular, when brackish irrigation ...
Brackish aquaponics using Mediterranean fish and plants provides an alternative opportunity for a combined production of high-quality food products with high commercial and nutritional value. This is the first study that investigates the effect of two different salinities (8 and 20 ppt) on growth and survival of Sparus aurata and Crithmum maritimum...

Morocco is considered as a water-stressed country and is among the countries that face fresh water scarcity. However Morocco has an important solar energy and a significant amount of seawater and ocean. Therefore converting saline water to fresh water using solar energy is the perfect and the cleanest solution. Solar still is the simplest, cleanest...

Selection of suitable tillage implement, as well as amendments, is very important for the reclamation of salt affected soils. For this purpose, a field study was performed using the different rates of gypsum and tillage implements for the production of sorghum and berseem fodders in salt affected field using high RSC water. Treatments including wer...

Four new species of Vorticella, V. parachiangi sp. n., V. scapiformis sp. n., V. sphaeroidalis sp. n., and V. paralima sp. n., were isolated from coastal brackish waters of southern China. Their morphology, infraciliature, and silverline system were investigated based on observations of specimens both in vivo and following silver staining. Vorticel...
