Article Abstract
Pilot-scale saturated vertical flow constructed wetlands (VF-CWs) were established to identify whether T. tubifex has the similar performance in saturated VF-CWs to that in surface flow CWs in improving pollutant removal efficiency (RE). The saturated VF-CWs with T. tubifex achieved REs of 67.3% total nitrogen (TN) and 39.8% chemical oxygen demand (COD), which were significantly higher than treatments without T. tubifex (42.2% TN and 31.4% COD). There existed significant interactions between macrophytes and T. tubifex. T. tubifex greatly improved the dissolved oxygen by increasing the connectivity between layers, and enhanced dehydrogenase activity and fluorescein diacetate. Adding T. tubifex improved the bacterial diversity and relative abundance of both N-cycle bacteria and fermentation bacteria in the biofilms. The improvements of ammonia oxidation and anammox were the main pathways for the increased nitrogen removal by T. tubifex. Therefore, T. tubifex is a useful tool for improving pollutant REs in saturated VF-CWs.

Botia striata (Rao, 1920) is high valued ornamental fish, endemic to the Western ghats of India. This fish requires standardized maturation diet following a feeding regime for it to breed in captivity. Therefore, a study was conducted over a period of 90 days, employed a 2 × 3 factorial design involving six different feeding regimes: T1 (formulated feed, twice daily), T2 (formulated feed, four times daily), T3 (frozen tubifex, twice daily), T4 (frozen tubifex, four times daily), T5 (mixed diet, twice daily), and T6 (mixed diet, four times daily).

Understanding fish physiological responses to thermal acclimation is crucial for addressing global climate change threats to aquaculture sustainability. We investigated lipid and fatty acids in the muscle and liver of the catfish Horabagrus brachysoma acclimated to 26 (control), 31, 33 and 36 °C for 30 days. The total lipid, phospholipid, triglyceride, and free fatty acid significantly decreased, while cholesterol significantly increased (P < 0.

Six distinct actinospore types were identified in the intestinal epithelium of three oligochaete species collected from a fish farm in Ócsárd, in Hungary. Among these, two new types: aurantiactinomyxon type 1 and aurantiactinomyxon type 2 were described both morphologically and molecularly from .

This study evaluates the ecological status of the Aras River Basin (Türkiye) by analyzing benthic macroinvertebrate communities in relation to seasonal variations and anthropogenic pressures. During 2014-2015 sampling campaigns, we identified 126 taxa, of which 107 were identified at the species level and 19 at the genus level across 17 stations, with Insecta (87 taxa, 69%) showing the highest richness, followed by Clitellata (23 taxa, 18%). The dominant species Tubifex tubifex (15.
