Assessing Southern Flounder Population in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2017-11-20)
Abstract
Despite Southern Flounder being a commercially and recreationally important flatfish species in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), our understanding is poorly described of its population dynamics. I collected ...
The effects of dietary inclusion of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product in a commercial catfish ration on growth, immune readiness, and columnaris disease susceptibility
(2017-11-16)
Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of animal agriculture. However, sustainable
expansion and intensification of aquaculture worldwide has been severely hampered by disease.
In the US catfish industry, the ...
Immune and gustatory roles of the channel catfish skin as revealed by comparative transcriptomic analyses
(2016-08-09)
Fish scales are physical barriers protecting them from various external stresses, in particular, from pathogen infections. However, vast majority of catfishes are evolutionarily scaleless. How scaleless fish respond to ...
Economic Viability of Floating In-Pond Raceway Systems for Commercial Hybrid Catfish Production
(2016-08-09)
An in-pond raceway (IPRS) production trial was conducted in Dallas County, AL from January to November 2015. The goal of this work was to see how this new technology would behave in a commercial catfish farm setting and ...
Efficacy of Purified Amino Acids in Practical Diets for Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(2018-07-18)
Shrimp growth and nitrogen loading is influenced by the quantity and quality of protein supplied to the diet. Protein is also the main cost component of the diet, and, therefore, feed formulations need to be cost effective. ...
Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of genes involved in disease resistance against enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC) in catfish
(2018-11-08)
Catfish is the leading aquaculture species in the United States, accounting for over 50% of all U.S. aquaculture production. In recent years, catfish industry has been facing numerous challenges, including increased costs ...
Potential Influence of Climate Variations, Water Quality and Soil Quality on Uganda’s Aquaculture
(2018-09-28)
Fisheries production from lakes and other natural waters in Uganda is declining, and expansion of the aquaculture sector is needed to increase aquatic protein for human consumption. The present study was conducted to improve ...
Effects of desiccation practices and ploidy on Vibrio spp. abundances of cultured oysters, Crassostrea virginica
(2016-05-05)
The expansion of off-bottom aquaculture of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, to the Gulf of Mexico accompanied by high temperatures, which are correlated with Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, has ...
Using Population Models to Evaluate Management Alternatives for Gulf Striped Bass
(2016-04-29)
Interstate management of Gulf Striped Bass Morone saxatilis has involved a thirty-year cooperative effort involving Federal and State agencies in Georgia, Florida and Alabama (Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint Gulf Striped ...
Effects of Traveling Screen Operation on Impingement and the Survivability and Latent Health of Impinged Catfish at Barry Steam Generation Plant
(2010-08-04)
Two studies were conducted concurrently at cooling water intake structures at a coal fired power plant on the lower Mobile River basin. The first study observed the effects of varying operation times of traveling screen ...
