Application to reinforce the immunity of Daphnia and to use them as bio filters to improve water quality of aquatic ecosystems

This invention is about how to create a principle water natural-filters, such as Daphnia with reinforced resistance to pathogen and toxic microorganisms, by using as its dietary. Astaxanthin is a key carotenoid of sustaining the tolerance of Daphnia to gain immunity to toxic algae and pathogen bacteria. Due to obtained resistance, Daphnia can survive even in waters with high content of pathogen bacteria and algal toxins and filter higher volume of water. This cannot be achieved with any other technologies by now without need in chemicals (bactericides and algaecides). In this conditions Daphnia, especially new-born offsprings, get intoxicated and die, which disrupts natural self-cleaning capacity of aquatic ecosystem. As an indirect effect pre-treated and resistant Daphnia reduce odor effect of the aquatic ecosystems due to elimination of the odor compounds producing bacteria and algae. 1Daphnia,Haematococcus pluvialis,. fed with astaxanthin containing increase their lifespan and develop individuals with bigger mass and size resulting in enhanced three-dimensional swimming behavior.2. Due to reinforced resistance , pre-treated Daphnia , gain transferable to offsprings tolerance and resistance for pathogens and algal toxins and filter higher volume of water and remove higher amount of bacteria and algae , including virulent bacteria , toxic cyanobacteria , toxic diatoms , toxic dinoflagellates , etc.3. Mortality rate of pre-treated Daphnia decreases even in waters with high content of toxic algae and pathogen bacteria , which means that using antibiotics to protect fish and shrimps from water-born diseases requires no further application (or can be significantly cut off). The current invention describes using anti-oxidant properties of carotenoids/astaxanthin to strengthen tolerance of Daphnia. Daphnia (parthenogenetic daughters, neonates, adults of both sexes), being fed with astaxanthin containing gain enhanced tolerance and filter higher volume of water during ...

Alternating angle controlled wavelength lighting system to stimulate feeding in larval fish

A method for feeding larval fish in an artificial habitat having a water level, includes the step of providing in the habitat a plurality of light sources at a plurality of three dimensional locations in the habitat and below the water level. Inanimate food particles are placed into the water. The plurality of lights are pulsed at the plurality of three dimensional locations intermittently to illuminate the food particles from a variety of different angles within the habitat. A system for feeding fish, a habitat for fish, and a larval fish food are also disclosed.

METHODS FOR HIGH TAURINE PRODUCTION IN UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS

The present invention describes an approach to produce or increase hypotaurine or taurine production in unicellular organisms. More particularly, the invention relates to genetic modification of unicellular organisms that include bacteria, algal, microalgal, diatoms, yeast, or fungi. The invention relates to methods to increase taurine levels in the cells by binding taurine or decreasing taurine degradation. The invention can be used in organisms that contain native or heterologous (transgenic) taurine biosynthetic pathways or cells that have taurine by enrichment. The invention also relates to methods to increase taurine levels in the cells and to use the said cells or extracts or purifications from the cells that contain the invention to produce plant growth enhancers, food, animal feed, aquafeed, food or drink supplements, animal-feed supplements, dietary supplements, health supplements or taurine. 2.
