Optimization of feed management for Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
(2016-05-05)
Manufactured feed is one of the important components of commercial shrimp aquaculture, providing nutritional balance for farmed shrimp. However, it is also the primary source causing problems related to water quality. ...
Evaluation of a fluorescent dye assay to assess glochidial health
(2016-05-06)
Unionid mussels have the greatest diversity in North America but have suffered high extinction and imperilment rates due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and deterioration. Unionid mussels have a parasitic larval stage ...
A Hook and Line Assessment and Angler Survey of the Tallapoosa River Fishery (Alabama, USA)
(2015-12-10)
Angler satisfaction is one of many fundamental objectives in the adaptive evaluation of flow prescriptions below R. L. Harris Dam on the Tallapoosa River in Alabama. We have collected fishery specific information to inform ...
Consequences of Decreased Water Temperature Caused by Aerator-Induced Evaporation on Growth of Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in Ponds
(2016-07-25)
Two studies were performed related to water temperature in aquaculture ponds. The first study evaluated the influence of aeration on evaporation and water temperature in ponds, and compared the effects of daytime and ...
Land: Water Surface Area Ratio for Aquaculture Ponds
(2014-03-31)
Aquaculture farms use more land than the pond water surface area because of the necessity for embankments, canals, roads, storage areas, offices, parking lots, and staging areas. Aquaculture farms with different-sized ...
Evaluating the Potential Impacts of the Introduced Blueback Herring, Alosa aestivalis, on the Aquatic Communities in Lewis Smith Lake, Alabama
(2016-01-12)
Reservoir food webs are complex, making prediction of the influence of introducing new species difficult. Blueback Herring Alosa aestivalis were first discovered in Lewis Smith Lake, Alabama in 2010 and both positive and ...
Biodiversity and Phylogenetics of Metazoan Parasites Infecting Freshwater Turtles
(2020-04-20)
There are 356 extant turtle species (Testudines), including 60 polytypic taxa that add 122 subspecies. Among the more diverse groups of metazoan parasites that infect turtles are the turtle blood flukes (TBFs) (Digenea: ...
Fundamental aspects of sperm biology for ecologically and economically important bivalve species in Alabama: Cellular signaling, morphology, and density quantification
(2020-05-21)
The Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, and freshwater mussels, Ligumia subrostrata and Lampsilis straminea, are significant keystone species in the Eastern United States. These bivalves both provide invaluable environmental ...
An Investigation of Fin Erosion in Channel Catfish
(2020-07-14)
An ongoing case of fin erosion affecting Ictalurid catfishes at an aquaculture research facility in the southeastern United States was investigated. Circumstantial evidence collected at this facility has provided several ...
Functional Genomics of Air Breathing in Catfish
(2020-05-14)
Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), tra catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and walking catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) all belong to order Siluriformes, but I. punctatus does not possess an air breathing organ (ABO) ...
