(2016-08-05)
Catfish is the leading aquaculture species in the United States, accounting for approximately 60% of U.S. aquaculture production. However, the catfish industry is facing great challenges including escalating feed and fuel ...
Development of Alternative-protein-based Diets for the Intensive Production of Florida pompano Trachinotus carolinus L.
(2011-05-02)
The Florida pompano industry is a promising enterprise in the United States and with commercial production progressively increasing. However, the success of such an enterprise is dependent on the supply of environmentally ...
Development of diets for soft-shell mangrove crabs (Scylla spp)
(2018-01-10)
The objective of this research was to develop practical formulated diets for soft-shell mangrove crab farming. Although the large-scale farming of soft-shell crab has been going for more than 20 years, little research has ...
Development of smoked and gelatin-based products from catfish
(2009-08-03)
Catfish is the most important aquaculture species in the southern United States. A major part of the catfish production is processed and sold in raw (fresh or frozen) form. There is a lack of catfish product forms in the ...
Development of the Catfish 250K SNP Array for Genome-Wide Association Studies
(2013-07-18)
