Integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) emerges as a sustainable strategy to control the excess of solids and inorganic nutrients that tend to increase in the biofloc system (BFT) cycle, since the model integrates organisms from different trophic levels sharing the same system and nutrients. Thus, this study compared a Penaeus vannamei monoculture system with an integrated biofloc system including Mugil liza, Holothuria gri...

Continuous canopy status monitoring is an essential factor to support and precisely apply orchard management actions such as pruning, pesticide and foliar treatment applications, or fertirrigation, among others. For that, this work proposes the use of multispectral vegetation indices to estimate geometric and structural orchard parameters from remote sensing images (high temporal and spatial resolution) as an alternative to mo...

The peripheral auditory and vestibular systems rely on sensorineural structures that are vulnerable to ototoxic agents that cause hearing loss and/or equilibrium deficits. Although attention has focused on hair cell loss as the primary pathology underlying ototoxicity, evidence from the peripheral vestibular system indicates that hair cell loss during chronic exposure is preceded by synaptic uncoupling from the neurons and is...

Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 is subdivided into two main serovars, serovar E, able to infect fish and humans, and serovar A, only virulent for fish. Serovar E emerged in 1976 as the causative agent of a haemorrhagic septicaemia (warm‐water vibriosis) affecting eels cultured in brackish water. Serovar A emerged in 2000 in freshwater‐cultured eels vaccinated against serovar E, causing warm‐water vibriosis with fish showing a haem...
