Bio-economic Factors Affecting Feasibility of Floating In-pond Raceway Systems: A Stella Modeling Approach
(2011-05-19)
Floating in-pond raceway (FIPR) systems have the potential to efficiently compete with conventional ponds in their ability to produce large quantities of fish profitably. However, little is known about the biological and ...
Age, growth, home range, movement, and habitat selection of redeye bass (Micropterus coosae) from the middle Tallapoosa River tributaries (Alabama, USA).
(2011-01-13)
Redeye bass Micropterus coosae is a common, but underutilized sport fish resource in Alabama. This species is the most attractive of all the black basses, and has a reputation as a formidable catch on light tackle. Redeye ...
The Relationship Between Shoreline Development and Resident Fish Communities in Lake Martin, Alabama
(2011-04-06)
Many reservoirs in the southeastern U.S. have experienced an increase in human development along its shorelines. This development often includes armoring the shoreline with either bulkheads or riprap to reduce erosion and ...
Supplemental Feeding of Bluegill as a Small Impoundment Enhancement for Largemouth Bass
(2011-04-01)
Several pond enhancements are commonly used to increase fish production or enhance angling opportunities. I investigated whether providing supplemental feed to bluegill leads to higher reproductive rates, and if the ...
Evaluation of Biological Agents for Controlling Enteric Septicemia of Catfish
(2011-05-03)
Enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC), caused by the bacterium Edwardsiella ictaluri, is considered the most important bacterial disease of cultured channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus and is estimated to cost the industry ...
Predation Effects on Age-0 Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus on Artificial Reefs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2011-03-29)
Small artificial reefs were built in July 2008 (n = 20), and 2009 (n = 20), 28 km south of Dauphin Island, Alabama, in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Each reef consisted of a polyethylene pallet (1.22 x 1.02 x 0.14 m), to ...
Biodiversity of Metazoan Parasites Infecting Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus), and C×B Hybrid Catfish (Female Ictalurus punctatus × Male Ictalurus furcatus) in Earthen Pond Aquaculture
(2011-08-04)
This 1-year in-pond study documents the metazoan parasite biodiversity in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus), and C×B hybrid catfish (female Ictalurus punctatus × male Ictalurus furcatus) ...
Evaluation Of Flavor Of Pacific White Shrimp Penaeus Vannamei Cultured In Low Salinity Water
(2011-08-15)
Water quality variables and phytoplankton were monitored in five ponds with low-salinity water (2-3 ppt) for culture of Pacific white shrimp (Pennaeus vannamei) at a farm in West Alabama from August to October. Shrimps ...
Cyanobacterial Blooms in the Southeast: Understanding Their Distribution and Management
(2011-08-04)
Water is vital for life. The increased demand for freshwater resources dictates that current water practices must ensure access to and availability of high-quality water for future generations. Phytoplankton community ...
Fine-scale movements and home ranges of red snapper Lutjanus campechanus around artificial reefs in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(2011-11-14)
Few studies have examined fine-scale movement patterns of continental shelf marine fishes. For example, little is known about an important marine species, red snapper Lutjanus campechanus, and its fine-scale movement ...
