• Abstract

  Nowadays, larviculture is one of the main obstacle in aquaculture. Live food availability, particularly zooplankton, is essential to development of young fishes and crustaceans. Nevertheless, there are serious difficult to obtain zooplanktonic biomass enough to attend the growing world demand. The neotropical freshwater Anostraca Dendrocephalus brasiliensis has a great potential for utili…

• Abstract

  The project is aimed at analysis of the zooplanktonic biodiversity and its relationship with the trophic of the continental aquatic systems in the state of São Paulo. It is intended to establish relationships between diversity, organic pollution and toxic substances. Great emphasis will be given to the study of the taxonomy, biology, physiology and ecology of the main zooplanktonic groups…

• Abstract

  The modernization of agricultural practices has led to an exaggerated increase in the use of chemical compounds in order to maximize production. Among these, pesticides can cause various deleterious effects on aquatic organisms. In temperate regions there is a great deal of information about the sensitivity of test organisms native to these contaminants to these regions, whereas in the tr…

• Abstract

  Aquatic macrophytes have great relevance for freshwater aquatic ecosystems, being responsible for nutrient stocking and also play a relevant role in the energy flow of their environment, at the base of the food chains through direct herbivory as well as via detritus. Under some conditions the growth of aquatic macrophytes can become a nuisance with adverse consequences to both, the local …
