LIFE HISTORY ATTRIBUTES OF A GLOBAL INVADER: FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE INVASION POTENTIAL OF DIDEMNUM VEXILLUM

Life history attributes of a global invader: factors contributing to the invasion potential of Didemnum vexillum

The colonial ascidian Didemnum vexillum has dispersed from its native Japan to many temperate coastal regions of the world, yet many features of its life history remain poorly studied.Using D.vexillum populations in the northeastern USA, several features of growth and sexual reproduction, as well as asexual reproduction via the unusual feature of d

Photoperiod-independent diurnal feeding improved the growth and feed utilization of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by inducing food anticipatory activity

A three-month culture experiment was designed to assess the effects of photoperiod and feeding regime on growth, feed utilization, and food anticipatory activity (FAA) of juvenile rainbow trout.The experiment included two photoperiods: 24L:0D (LL) and 12L:12D (LD); three feeding regimes: random feeding (R), mid-dark stage feeding (D), and mid-light
