An Evaluation of Feed Management, the Use of Automatic Feeders, and Feed Leaching in the Culture of Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(2017-11-20)
Feed management is widely considered to be one of the most important factors of shrimp production, however it has been grossly under studied using standardized methods. New and improving technology is making the use of ...
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 ...
Evaluation Of LHRHa Implants and Injections on the Production of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Female X Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Male Fry
(2006-08-15)
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 ...
An Evaluation of Natural and Artificial Dietary Lipid Sources on Egg Quality and Fry Production in Channel Catfish (male) X Blue Catfish (female) Hybridization
(2007-12-15)
Hybrid catfish (channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus? x blue catfish I. furcatus?) display many characteristics that are favorable to aquaculture production such as increased growth, resistance to disease, higher dress out ...
An Evaluation of Nursery Techniques and Feed Management During Culture of Marine Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(2005-12-15)
The use of indoor shrimp nurseries is often encouraged, especially prior to intensive and super-intensive shrimp culture. Potential benefits in subsequent grow out include; better control of stock inventory, better ...
Evaluation of production characteristics of four strains of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus and a red variety under two sets of intensive culture conditions
(2011-11-22)
The wide native range of Nile tilapia O. niloticus offers the possibility of genetic diversity within the species and variation among populations as to their suitability for aquaculture. But only a few populations have ...
Evaluation of soybean meal from selected cultivars of soybeans for use in practical diets for L. vannamei
(2013-11-08)
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of twelve sources of soybean meal (SBM), which included new soy varieties in practical feed formulation for Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, using both digestibility ...
Evaluation of Soybeanmeal Quality as an Ingredient in Practical Diets for Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(2018-07-18)
Of potential protein sources, conventional soybean meal produced through traditional solvent extraction procedures has received the most attention among terrestrial plant sources, considering its well-balanced amino acid ...
An Evaluation of the Catfish Fishery in Wilson Reservoir, Alabama
(2006-12-15)
On Lake Wilson, Alabama, a popular recreational and commercial catfish fishery exists and this study was initiated to assess population metrics and estimate exploitation. Currently, creel or length limits are not used to ...
Evaluation of the Commercially-Available Probiotic Lymnozyme as an Effective Control of Bacterial Infections in Channel Catfish
(2008-05-15)
A major problem of commercially-cultured channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) in the S. E. United States is disease-related mortality. Probiotics may reduce diseases. A series of pond and challenge studies were conducted ...
Evaluation of the Live Attenuated Vaccine Aquavac Esc and the Effects of a Primary Nursery Phase on the Production of Channel Catfish Fingerling in Earthen Ponds
(2005-12-15)
The evaluation of the live attenuated vaccine AQUAVAC ESC® in field conditions as well as the use of a primary nursery phase were studied to determine if better production and survival of fingerlings were obtained. This ...
Evaluation of the Live-Attenuated Vaccine AquaVac-COL® on Hybrid Channel x Blue Catfish Fingerlings in Earthen Ponds
(2010-12-10)
The evaluation of the use of AquaVac-COL® was conducted with hybrid catfish, which are a cross between female channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and a male blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus), to determine production rates ...
Evaluation of Three Fish Species for Culture Using Low Salinity Groundwater in the Black Belt Region of Alabama
(2007-12-15)
The Black Belt region of Alabama is a rural, agricultural-based area with an economy largely dependent upon commercial catfish production. A unique fact about this region is that much of the landmass is underlain with ...
An Evaluation of Triploid Flathead Catfish
(2008-12-15)
The overall objective of this research was to develop an effective protocol to produce triploid flathead catfish, Pylodictis olivaris. To accomplish this goal, data was gathered depicting characteristics of flathead catfish ...
Evolution of Signal Divergence and Behavior in Cyprinella galactura, the whitetail shiner
(2006-12-15)
Acoustic signaling in anurans, insects, birds, and mammals has played an important role as an interspecific isolating mechanism and is also believed to be a mechanism of sexual selection in intraspecific mate choice. A ...
