Bioeconomics of Flavobacterium columnare vaccine pond trials for channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus 

Malecki, Jillian (2020-05-11)
The US farm-raised catfish industry has had a variety of problems in the last decade, both in production and marketing. Increased disease pressures have come primarily from the ubiquitous pathogens responsible for columnaris ...

Comparison of Ictalurid Hybrid Crosses (Ictalurus punctatus x Ictalurus furcatus) in Floating In-Pond Raceway Systems 

Stuckey, Ginger (2015-05-11)
With the US catfish industry facing higher feed costs and stiff international competition, producers are beginning to adopt intensive alternatives to traditional pond culture. Among these are split pond systems and in-pond ...

Evaluation of a Trivalent Vaccine for Aeromonas hydrophila, Flavobacterium columnare, and Edwardsiella ictaluri Using In-pond Raceway Systems in West Alabama 

James, Jesse (2019-07-15)
A trivalent vaccine, for virulent Aeromonas hydrophila, Flavobacterium columnare, and Edwardsiella ictaluri, was tested using in-pond raceway systems (IPRS) located in three active commercial catfish ponds. The goal of ...

Examining early growth genetic potential of two distinct localities of Florida Bass and an F1 hybrid bass (Micropterus floridanus x Micropterus salmoides) 

Fewell, Aaron (2020-11-11)
The pursuit of trophy black bass (Micropterus spp.) is a challenge many freshwater anglers embrace. In addition, the growth of a trophy-sized specimen is a challenge fishery and hatchery managers have striven to solve for ...

Fortification of commercial catfish rations with superdoses of phytase enzymes increases hematological parameters and mineral stores in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and hybrid catfish (Ictalurus punctatus x Ictalurus furcatus) 

Mazzola, James (2017-04-17)
Phytic acid is a well-known antinutritional factor and readily binds to di and trivalent ions reducing their bioavailability and thus absorption by the animal. Phytic acid levels in catfish diets have risen along with ...

Genetic Resources for Improved Selection and Management of Aquaculture and Conservation Fish Species 

Zhao, Honggang (2019-11-21)
Molecular markers are versatile tools for conservation genetics allowing the identification of populations in genetic crisis, resolving taxonomic uncertainties, and establishing management units within fish species. Advances ...

An Investigation of Fin Erosion in Channel Catfish 

Paulson, Matthew (2020-07-14)
An ongoing case of fin erosion affecting Ictalurid catfishes at an aquaculture research facility in the southeastern United States was investigated. Circumstantial evidence collected at this facility has provided several ...

Utility of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Resources for Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) Conservation and Management 

Davis, Lauren (2018-04-18)
The black basses (Micropterus spp.) are a genus of apex predators and important game fishes in North American freshwater ecosystems. Efforts to improve recreational bass fisheries have led to the widespread stocking of ...
