Optimization of stem cell extraction from blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) to produce alloxenogenic catfish: Effects of body size, sex steroids, and seasonality
(2020-04-20)
Xenogenesis has been identified as an innovative technology for hybrid catfish (♀ channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus × ♂ blue catfish, I.furcatus) embryo production. Currently, donor cells are collected from randomly ...
Optimizing a Standard Sampling Program to Evaluate Fish Community Structure for Non-wadeable Rivers in Alabama
(2017-08-03)
Alabama’s non-wadeable rivers support exceptionally high biodiversity of fishes but no formal sampling program has been developed to monitor the fish community in these systems. Recent developments in Alabama have caused ...
Osteocrin: identification, expression, and CRISPR/Cas9 analysis in scale development in teleost
(2017-07-27)
The completion of channel catfish genome sequencing provides a possibility of performing comparative genome studies. The comparative genome study between scaleless channel catfish and armor-scaled (bony dermal plate) ...
Parasite component community of Gulf Killifish, Fundulus grandis, in an oiled Louisiana saltmarsh
(2013-07-01)
Fish parasites comprise a large portion of marine biodiversity but so far have been underutilized as Gulf of Mexico bioindicators. Shifts in parasite diversity, prevalence, and intensity resulting from the 2010 BP Deepwater ...
Passage and Fine Scale Movements of Paddlefish and Smallmouth Buffalo near Claiborne Lock and Dam
(2019-07-10)
Dams often impede spawning migrations of fishes, concentrating adults in their tailwaters. Little is known about behavior of migrating fishes as they approach dams, including where fish are located in the tailrace, their ...
Pattern of Invasion of a Nonindigenous Cyprinid and Potential Shifts in Native Fish Assemblage Structure
(2014-05-12)
Invasive species increasingly threaten global biodiversity with faunal homogenizations and are of specific concern in the highly diverse aquatic systems of the Southeast United States. However, patterns of invasion and ...
Perception of Alabama Science and Career Technology Teachers Concerning Teaching the Alabama Aquaculture Course of Study
(2011-07-27)
The purpose of this study was to improve teachers’ ability to effectively use aquaculture as a tool to teach math and science. The study population included Alabama science and career tech teachers that were certified to ...
Persistence of fish assemblages on sand and gravel bar habitat in the Alabama River, Alabama
(2012-04-19)
The Alabama River is a biologically diverse system containing over 180 native fishes and at least 33 endemics. Many studies have surveyed species of conservation concern, such as the federally endangered Alabama Sturgeon ...
Phosphorus and nitrogen budget for inland, saline water shrimp ponds in Alabama
(2012-11-08)
Phosphorus and nitrogen budgets were prepared for ponds in an inland low-salinity shrimp farm in the Blackland Prairie region of Alabama. The study was conducted during the first crop in three ponds which were newly ...
Physical Map Construction and Physical Characterization of Channel Catfish Genome
(2007-08-15)
Catfish is the major aquaculture species in the United States. To enhance genome studies involving linkage mapping, comparative mapping and linkage map and physical map integration, over 20,000 Bacterial Artificial Chromosome ...
Physical-Chemical and Biological Characterization of Small Streams Following Intensive Forest Management Practices in the Coastal Plain of Alabama
(2007-12-15)
This study measured changes in five first-order streams (S 1 through S 5) following management techniques including clearcut logging and chemical (S 2 and S 3) and mechanical site preparation (S 4 and S 5). The herbicides ...
Physiological and behavioral impacts of railway noise on stream fishes
(2019-04-17)
While the expansion of anthropogenic noise studies in aquatic habitats has produced conservation-based results for marine organisms, little attention has been paid to the potential impacts of anthropogenic noise on freshwater ...
