In recent years, outbreaks of invasive sponge species have become a phenomenon that has attracted the attention of many researchers (e. g., Ávila and Carballo 2009; Rossi et al. 2018). The impact of this invasive sponge species on coral reefs is detrimental to the tropical coral reef ecosystem. Here we report, for the first time, the presence of th...

The waters of Peninsular Malaysia located between the South China Sea and the Straits of Malacca are greatly influenced by two different monsoons: the Southwest Monsoon (SW) and the Northeast Monsoon (NE). Zooplankton are known to be receptive to any environmental changes. Apart from biotic and abiotic changes, the movement of water currents also h...
Marine amphipods are gaining commercial interest as an alternative live feed resource for cephalopod, crustacean, finfish and seahorse aquaculture. Nevertheless, there is a knowledge gap in establishing large-scale amphipod cultures. In an attempt to evaluate the potential of the marine amphipod Cymadusa vadosa as a new live feed candidate, the lif...
