Analysis of Florida Pompano Trachinotus carolinus performance when fed practical diets of increasing levels of cotton seed flour processed by varying methods
(2014-05-02)
Florida pompano is a propitious species for marine aquaculture, and high demand has made the development of practical feed formulations essential. The cost of feed can be reduced by alternative plant protein sources such ...
Studies on the Microbiota of Fishes and the Factors Influencing Their Composition
(2014-07-24)
In this dissertation, I aimed to characterize the microbiota of finfish including identification of the bacteria present as well as the factors that influence their composition. I examined the microbiota of the skin, gill, ...
Estuaries as habitat for a freshwater species: Ecology of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) along a salinity gradient
(2009-02-23)
Similar to the freshwater systems largemouth bass inhabit, the largemouth bass is a popular recreational sportfish in estuarine environments, like the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. However, catch rates of large (= 2.3 kg) largemouth ...
The Effects of a Modified Flow Regime on Fish Assemblages in a Third-Order Piedmont Stream in Lee County, Auburn, Alabama
(2009-02-23)
I examined the effects of a modified flow regime on fish assemblage condition over a 2-year period at two sites in Chewacla Creek, a third-order Piedmont stream (Lee County, AL). My goal was to assess the biotic condition ...
Assessment of larval fish entrainment at Plant Barry Steam Electric Generating Facility on the Mobile River, Alabama
(2009-02-23)
This study examined larval fish entrainment at Plant Barry Steam Electric Generating Facility near Mobile, Alabama with both short-term intensive (17-21 May 2004) sampling and a long-term (September 2004June 2005) collection ...
Investigations of Water Supply and Water Quality Issues Related to Inland Shrimp Farming in Western Alabama
(2008-09-09)
Examination of data on chloride concentrations in well waters revealed that an area in Greene, Sumter, Hale, Marengo, and Wilcox Counties had the greatest potential for inland culture of marine shrimp. A few places in ...
Physiological and nutritional requirements for the culture of the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in low salinity waters
(2008-09-09)
The culture of the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in inland low salinity well waters (LSWW) is a promising, fledgling industry in Alabama. Despite the success of a small number of farmers in producing L. ...
Fish Meal Replacement in Practical Diets for Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Reared in Green Water Systems
(2008-09-09)
A series of experimental studies were conducted with Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, to evaluate the use of plant protein sources as replacement ingredients for fish meal in commercially manufactured diets for ...
Life History Plasticity of the Blacktail Shiner (Cyprinella venusta) across Disturbance Gradients in Alabama Streams
(2008-09-09)
Four populations of the blacktail shiner, Cyprinella venusta were studied to determine life history parameter variation across disturbance gradients in Alabama streams. Consistent with life history theory, fishes from the ...
Evaluation Of LHRHa Implants and Injections on the Production of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Female X Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Male Fry
(2008-09-09)
The hybrid produced from the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) female and the blue catfish (I. furcatus) male has better culture traits than the primarily cultured channel catfish. Producing hybrid catfish has been ...
