Investigations of Water Supply and Water Quality Issues Related to Inland Shrimp Farming in Western Alabama
(2006-08-15)
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 ...
Isolation, Identification, Culture, Cryopreservation, Genetic Transformation and Transplantation of Catfish Germline Stem Cells
(2013-11-25)
The hybrid of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) ♀ × blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) ♂ (C × B) is the best catfish for pond culture. The current technology, artificial fertilization and handstripping is labor intensive, ...
Juvenile Density, Fishing Mortality, and Habitat use of Red Snapper, Lutjanus campechanus, on Artificial and Natural Reefs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico.
(2020-11-18)
The Red Snapper, Lutjanus campechanus, fishery in the Gulf of Mexico has been intensively regulated as managers attempt to rebuild the fishery. This has led to a need for improved data collection, and a better understanding ...
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 ...
Life History Plasticity of the Blacktail Shiner (Cyprinella venusta) across Disturbance Gradients in Alabama Streams
(2006-08-15)
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 ...
Lipid Extracted Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (LE-DDGS) as a Partial Replacement for Soybean Meal in Hybrid Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus x Oreochromis aureus)
(2013-07-19)
Feed costs are primarily driven by the cost of protein sources used to produce the feed. Substitution of expensive protein sources with lower cost ingredients would potentially reduce the cost of the feed. Lipid-extracted ...
Mercury Bioaccumulation Patterns in Two Estuarine Sportfish Populations
(2008-12-15)
Mercury (Hg) is a harmful bioaccumulative heavy metal to which humans are
exposed primarily through fish consumption. Several consumption advisories for
mercury have been issued for fishes along the US Atlantic and ...
A metabolic approach to assessing interactions between climate change, agrochemicals, and freshwater mussel reproduction
(2019-04-16)
Unionid mussels are a fundamental part of stream ecology yet are one of the most threatened aquatic organisms due in part to habitat loss, stream fragmentation, and deterioration. The increasingly relevant effects of climate ...
Migratory Characteristics and Passage Efficiency of Fishes at Two Dams on the Alabama River, Alabama
(2012-04-04)
Fish passage facilities are a widely accepted mitigation tool at many dams in the United States to assist migratory fish species to upstream spawning areas on the U.S. Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Here we investigated the ...
Mobile Phone Use in Ugandan Aquaculture: Farmer Experinces and Aspirations
(2015-07-27)
Aquaculture, being largely non-traditional in Uganda, is challenged by inadequate information and technical assistance to guide farmers. Farmers in Uganda have accumulated enough experience in growing crops and livestock ...
Molecular Characterization of Diverse Mechanisms of Mucosal Immunity in Teleost Fishes
(2017-11-27)
The mucosal barriers (gill, skin and intestine) of fish constitute the first line of defense against aquatic pathogens invasion. By exploring and targeting fish mucosal immune system, we can rationally design better vaccines ...
Molecular characterization of Edwardsiella spp. and Flavobacterium columnare
(2007-08-15)
Bacterial diseases are responsible for large economic losses in aquaculture around the world. Flavobacterium columnare and Edwardsiella spp. negatively impact the channel catfish industry in southern USA. However, limited ...
Movement and Fate of Stocked Rainbow Trout in an Alabama Tailwater
(2019-07-15)
Hypolimnetic discharge from reservoirs in the southern U.S. provides water temperatures cold enough to support Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss fisheries in regions where they otherwise could not exist. The Sipsey Fork ...
Movement and habitat use of Shoal Bass Micropterus cataractae in two Chattahoochee River tributaries
(2018-10-02)
Shoal Bass Micropterus cataractae is a fluvial specialist endemic to the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River basin in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Recent studies show there is a lot of variation in movement and habitat ...
Movement Patterns of Gray Triggerfish, Balistes capriscus, Around Artificial Reefs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2014-05-12)
Relatively little is known about the ecology of gray triggerfish, Balistes capriscus Gmelin, despite its importance to both sport and commercial fisheries. In particular, gray triggerfish habitat use is not well understood. ...
Movement, dispersal, and home ranges of tournament displaced largemouth and spotted bass in Lake Martin, Alabama
(2006-12-15)
Anglers fishing in black bass tournaments often displace fish great distances from their site of capture and the effects of tournament displacement on movement and behavior of fish after release have been variable. ...
Mutagenesis of virulence genes in an epidemic strain of Aeromonas hydrophila ML09-119 for development of an attenuated vaccine strain
(2014-12-11)
The epidemic strain of Aeromonas hydrophila caused a devastating outbreak of motile Aeromonads septicemia of catfish (MAS) on the fish farms of Southeastern United States in 2009. A.hydrophila ML09-119 was reported to cause ...
Nest survival, nesting behavior, and bioenergetics of redbreast sunfish on the Tallapoosa River, Alabama
(2008-12-15)
Adaptive management has been implemented in the Tallapoosa River, Alabama; one objective of the process is to determine how discharge and temperature affect redbreast sunfish reproductive success. Nesting male redbreast ...
Novel experimental technique to confirm fish hosts for “large river mussels”
(2014-07-02)
Unionid mussels are declining in North America. The larval stage (glochidium) represents a life-history bottleneck because glochidia are parasitic and require an appropriate fish host. However, appropriate fish host species ...
Oligotrophication Effects Following Diversion of Waste Effluent from an Embayment of Lake Martin, Alabama
