Gut evacuation time of macrobrachium borellii (Caridea: Palaemonidae) feeding on three types of prey from the littoral-benthic community
(Crustacean Society, 2011-10)
Gut evacuation time is a very useful parameter that allows us to understand the daily trophic cycle of a predator. Macrobrachium borellii is an inhabitant of the littoral-benthic community of the Paran River system that ...
Vitellogenin and Lipovitellin from the prawn Macrobrachium borellii as hydrocarbon pollution biomarker
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-08)
During reproduction vitellogenin (VTG) is transported to vitellogenic oocytes as a precursor of egg yolk lipovitellin (LV). As VTG synthesis is affected by environmental stressors, it is widely used as biomarker in endocrine ...
Geometric morphometric analysis of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium borellii (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) at a microgeographical scale in a floodplain system
(Springer Tokyo, 2014-07)
Morphometric studies are useful for delineating the shapes of various populations and species over geographical ranges and as evidence of regional differences in crustaceans. Hydrological fluctuations in a floodplain system ...
Ontogenetic predation capacity of Macrobrachium borellii (Caridea: Palaemonidae) on prey from littoral-benthic communities
(Sociedade Brasileira de Carcinologia, 2011)
Macrobrachium borellii is an abundant prawn of the Paraná River floodplain. Newly hatched juveniles have the general characteristics of adults, and they are proposed to have the same feeding habits. Its natural diet is ...
Predator–prey imbalances due to a pesticide: density and applicability timing as determining factors for experimental assessments
(Springer, 2014-06)
Predator–prey relationships are determining factors in sustaining community structure but xenobiotics, including pesticides, have the potential to alter them, causing imbalances at the ecosystem level. Although invertebrate ...
Growth, survival, body composition and amino acid profile of Macrobrachium borellii against the limitation of feeds with different C:N ratios with comments about application in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10-04)
One way to attain more sustainable aquaculture systems is through the species diversification and optimization of the feed input, such as obtained by integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA). Macrobrachium borellii is ...
