  1. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ TIL: πŸ¦žπŸŽ’ #US #Fish and #Wildlife biologists are testing tiny photo-IDs attached as "backpacks" to #endangered Big Sandy #crayfish in #Appalachia.

    Because injecting a #chip would harm the 10 cm (4 in) #crustaceans, researchers superglue a batter-free PIT tag to each #shell and set it with baking soda water. The setup was first tested on a common surrogate species, and the tags letting go are actually a sign the crayfish survived long enough to molt.

Divers have already spotted carnivorous #sponges that capture small #crustaceans, a surprising find for habitats once thought sparse.

    The team observed that while the larger #shrimp needed mesh netting to steady themselves, the smaller brine shrimp thrived and grew normally over several days. The #research provides a look at how #future #astronauts might raise #aquaculture setups on the #Moon.

    But a #freshwater ecologist explains that #nature offers cheaper, longer lasting solutions. Tiny #crustaceans called #Daphnia and rooted aquatic #plants can control algae by consuming it and absorbing nutrients before blooms form.

  9. One of the highlights of my day was when William Harland, a talented ecology undergrad here at #LincolnUniversityNZ, stopped by my office to show me his photos of temnocephalid flatworms. These distinctive squat tentacled flatworms live in colonies on NZ's freshwater crayfish, koura, and eat scraps left over when the koura feed. They apparently cause no bother to the koura.

    William found these at Poolburn Reservoir in central Otago.

    Amazing!

  14. Antarctic #krill can lock away similar levels of #carbon as #seagrass, #mangroves phys.org/news/2024-09-antarcti

    Antarctic krill sequester similar amounts of C to key coastal #BlueCarbon habitats: Emma Cavan et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-024

    "Krill are extremely numerous #crustaceans that live around #Antarctica. They eat #algae that take carbon out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis. When krill poo or molt their exoskeletons, the carbon sinks into the #DeepSea where it can stay for a very long time."

    "Species of #MudSnake can inhabit fresh, #brackish or saltwater coastal and inland areas, mostly sleeping by day and munching on #fish and #crustaceans by night."
