O. Green, D. R. Thompson, C. Pérez García-Pando, C. Pérez García-Pando

“…<p>Soil dust aerosols are a key component of the climate system, as they interact with short- and long-wave radiation, alter cloud formation processes, affect atmospheric chemistry and play a role in biogeochemical cycles by providing nutrient inputs such as iron and phosphorus. The influence of dust on these processes depends on its physicochemical properties, which, far from being homogeneous, are shaped by its regionally varying mineral composition. …”

“…During the breeding period, the water temperature was 13~17 ℃, pH was 7.5~8.2, dissolved oxygen was at least 6 mg/L, and salinity was maintained at 28~30.The results showed that: (1) The weight gain rate and specific growth rate of sea cucumbers in the D3, D4, D5 and D6 groups were significantly increased as compared to that in the control group, with the D4 group reporting the highest values. (2) The contents of water, crude protein, crude lipid, and ash in the body wall of sea cucumbers were not different among groups, but addition of EKP significantly increased the contents of methionine and cysteine. (3) The activities of intestinal amylase and protease increased first and then decreased with the EKP addition level increasing, but the lipase activity was not significantly affected. (4) Dietary incorporation of EKP significantly increased the apparent digestibility of crude protein, gross energy, total phosphorus and six amino acids. (5) The activities of intestinal glucokinase, pyruvate kinase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase as well as the total antioxidant capacity increased first and then decreased; the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase or Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase showed an increasing trend with increasing EKP addition levels. …”
