This clade, Series Otophysi, comprises four primarily freshwater orders: Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, suckers), Characiformes (tetras, piranhas), Siluriformes (catfishes), and Gymnotiformes (electric eels).
Among them, 3 were already detected in autumn [23], including 1 sequence that belonged to the freshwater order of Tectofilosida which comprises small heterotrophic amoeboid flagellates.
The Batrachospermales is distinguished from other freshwater rhodophyte orders based on a heterotrichous life history phase, lack of tetraspore production, and a two-layered pit plug, the outer layer of which is domed (Vis et al. 1998).
However, the underlying mechanisms of action and toxicity, especially in native freshwater mussels (Order Unionoida), remain undefined.
Catfishes inhabit all continents but Antarctica [10] and are (with the exception of cypriniforms) the most successful freshwater fish order (about 3100 species).
The oldest distinct M and F genomes are found in freshwater mussels (order Unionoida).
The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is a freshwater teleost (order: Gymnotiformes) from South America, the only species identified to date within the genus Electrophorus [ 1].
Schmidtea mediterranea Benazzi et al., 1975 is a freshwater planarian (order Tricladida, suborder Continenticola, phylum Platyhelminthes) that is mostly known to the scientific community for its capacity to regenerate ([ 1- 3]) and has become a model organism for the functional analysis of the genes involved in pattern formation (e.g., [ 4]).
Spiny eel, any of two groups of fishes, those of the freshwater family Mastacembelidae (order Perciformes) and of the deep-sea family Notacanthidae (order Notacanthiformes).
Bentonite is added to freshwater muds in order to: 1. Reduce water filtration into permeable formations. 2.
This study aims to investigate effects of freshwater components in order to predict agglomeration behavior of silver nanoparticles coated with citrate (AgNP-Cit), polyvinylpyrrolidone (AgNP-PVP), and of TiO2 nanoparticles.
