Food web overlap among native axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and two exotic fishes: carp (Cyprinus carpio) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Xochimilco, Mexico City (2010, background): “The highly omnivorous nature of these two exotic fishes (Huchette et al. 2000; Zhao et al. 2000) is evident from the trophic niche analysis.”
Nitrogen removal techniques in aquaculture for a sustainable production (2007, background): “The beneficial influence of periphyton on the water quality in different aquaculture systems has been investigated, as well as the impact of grazing by fish on periphyton communities (Huchette et al., 2000; Azim et al., 2001, 2002, 2003a,b,c, 2004).”
The potential of fish production based on periphyton (2002, background): “Huchette et al. (2000) reported that AIs were between 150 and 300 in ungrazed conditions and remained stable around 300 when grazed.”
The effects of artificial substrates on freshwater pond productivity and water quality and the implications for periphyton-based aquaculture (2002, background): “However, pond productivity could be further increased if plankton and periphyton are optimally consumed by fish (Hatcher, 1983; Hay, 1991; Huchette et al., 2000) and ponds are optimally fertilized.”
