Each brood was kept together in its own aquarium, and once the fry began feeding exogenously, they were fed frozen and fresh daphnia ad libitum. |
|
A large part of their diet consists of many winged insects, a large assortment of aquatic insects, and some zooplankton such as daphnia. |
|
In addition to fish, other aquatic creatures such as clams and daphnia are used as indicators of chemical changes. |
|
Fish are only used for testing at the lowest level of concentration where toxic effects are observed in algae and daphnia. |
|
Up to now, fish have equally shared the test burden with algae and daphnia combined. |
|
They are not fighting for breath as some people believe, but are instead feeding on the dense clouds of daphnia that gather just below the surface. |
|
Small fish begin by feeding upon zooplankton, mainly cladocera, such as daphnia, before moving onto bloodworm and larger invertebrates as they grow. |
|
When they reach a length of 12 mm, chub begin to feed more on small invertebrates, particularly chironomid larvae and tiny crustaceans, such as daphnia. |
|
The fish are still feeding heavily on the prolific green daphnia. |
|
Several were highly toxic to single-celled algae and hydra, and moderately toxic to daphnia and other higher organisms. |
|
The base set for testing the toxicity of substances towards aquatic organisms consists of acute tests with fish, daphnia and algae. |
|
This should include relevant available data on aquatic toxicity, both acute and chronic for fish, daphnia, algae and other aquatic plant. |
|
In a school lab, the students bred small crustaceans called daphnia that can naturally remove toxic algae blooms that turn the water green. |
|
Fish have been preoccupied feeding on big columns of daphnia as well as the brown beetles and green weevils which have blown onto the surface. |
|
Daphnia are close relatives of the freshwater shrimp, and the brine shrimp. |
|
Embryos are brooded in the mother's carapace and hatch out as miniature Daphnia, rather than as nauplii. |
|
Daphnia magna has a light-sensitive eye, meaning that the eye will track a moving light source. |
|
This field experiment was conducted in a deep, stratified lake that typically displays coexistence of multiple Daphnia species. |
|
Daphnia are keystone prey organisms in aquatic food webs and much studied due to their role as indicators of ecosystem health. |
|
While most species of Daphnia, including D. pulex, are herbivorous or detritivorous, a few are carnivorous and prey on other water fleas. |
|
|
Examples of animals in the P. spathula diet are copepods, cladocerans such Daphnia pulex, and ephemeropteran nymphs. |
|
Daphnia graze on algae, which regulates their presence in a lake. |
|
We analyzed 32 isolates representing 14 species of the subgenus Daphnia. |
|
Both immatures and adults were fed a diet including bee pollen, brewer's yeast, Daphnia, and insect eggs ad libitum during rearing. |
|
This type of ornamentation is often found in crustaceans including Daphnia, many species of ostracodes, and other Cambrian bivalved arthropods such as Isoxys. |
|
The exotic cladoceran, Daphnia lumholtzi Sars, possesses cyclomorphic features which are widely assumed to deter gape-limited predators. |
|
In 2005, more advanced organisms began to show up in the water, such as Crytophyte flagellate and species of zooplankton like Cyclops vernalis and Daphnia. |
|
A generalized standardization of arthropod toxicity data is more relevant and less prone to bias than standardizing on a single species, such as Daphnia magna. |
|
In general, Daphnia reproduce parthenogenetically in most time of the year. |
|
Optimization of differential display polymerase chain reaction as a bioindicator for the cladoceran Daphnia magna. |
|
The data for copepods, cladocerans, nauplii and Daphnia taxa were grouped by depth and separated by date. |
|
Research scientists studied Daphnia, a crustacean that lab studies have shown is strongly dependent on sufficient calcium concentrations in lakes to demonstrate the effects of this problem. |
|
This occurs within the branchiopod order Anomopoda, as in Daphnia, in most isopods and amphipods, and in some decapods, including freshwater crabs and crayfish and some deep-sea and Arctic groups. |
|
This study investigated how methylmercury effects Daphnia pulex in the presence of predatory stress chemical. |
|
An account of the two methods of reproduction in Daphnia, and of the structure of ephippium. |
|
Daphnia, also known as the water flea, is used widely as a model in ecotoxicology studies. |
|
Molecular characterization of clonal population structure and biogeography of arctic apomictic Daphnia from Greenland and Iceland. |
|
Aquatic invertebrates such as Daphnia touch these hairs and deform the door by lever action, releasing the vacuum. |
|
To date, Daphnia and fish, particularly zebrafish and fathead minnow, appear to be the most common model organisms for ecotoxicogenomics studies employing DNA microarrays. |
