Bottom Soil Quality in Ponds for Culture of Catfish, Freshwater Prawn, and Carp in Thailand

Wudtisin, Idsariya (2006-05-15)

Bottom soil samples were collected from 42 catfish (Clarias hybrid) ponds, 40 freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) ponds, and 18 carp (Puntius spp.) ponds in Thailand. The ponds ranged from 1 to 30 years in age. ...

Characterization of Innate Immune Genes of Catfish: CXC Chemokines and Toll-Like Receptors

Baoprasertkul, Puttharat (2006-05-15)

Innate immunity is known as the first line of defense against pathogenic invasions. Fish, as lower vertebrates, are believed to maintain their healthy status mostly by relying on their innate immunity. Of the many types ...

Characterization, Polymorphism Assessment, and Database Construction for Microsatellites from Bac End Sequences of Catfish: A Resource for Integration of Linkage and Physical Maps

Somridhivej, Benjaporn (2007-05-15)

To apply genome-based technologies for genetic improvements using markerassisted selection, genome research involving genetic linkage mapping and physical mapping is required, and integration of genetic and linkage maps ...

Disruption of Embryonic Development in Common Carp, Cyprinus Carpio, and Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus, Via Knock Down of BMP2 Gene for Repressible Transgenic Sterilization

Chaimongkol, Atra (2009-05-15)

The primary objective of this research was to evaluate the sterile feral (SF) technology to accomplish reversible transgenic sterilization in fish. Secondary objectives were to 1) determine the ability of SF3 and SF4 ...

Effect of Sodium Nitrate Treatment on Water and Sediment Quality in Laboratory and Pond Studies

Chainark, Suwanit (2008-12-15)

Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) has been widely used in shrimp aquaculture ponds as a fertilizer, a water quality enhancer and a bottom soil oxidant. This study was conducted to determine whether or not treatment with sodium nitrate ...

Effects of Anoxia on Histology, Bacteriology, Condition Index, Glycogen Levels, and Fecundity in the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica

Fogelson, Susan (2007-05-15)

The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is well known for its commercial and ecological roles in Mobile Bay, AL. During summer months oysters may be exposed to hypoxic and occasionally anoxic conditions which in turn ...

Effects of Traveling Screen Operation on Impingement and the Survivability and Latent Health of Impinged Catfish at Barry Steam Generation Plant

Shaw, William (2010-08-04)

Two studies were conducted concurrently at cooling water intake structures at a coal fired power plant on the lower Mobile River basin. The first study observed the effects of varying operation times of traveling screen ...

Evaluation of a flow-through depuration system to eliminate the human pathogen Vibrio vulnificus from the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

Lewis, Matthew (2010-08-03)

Evaluation of a flow-through depuration system to eliminate the human pathogen Vibrio vulnificus was carried out through altering 3 different parameters: salinity, temperature, and flow rate. Oysters were supplied by Auburn ...

Evaluation Of LHRHa Implants and Injections on the Production of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Female X Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Male Fry

Hutson, Alison (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 ...

Feasibility of Hard Clam, Mercenaria mercenaria, Culture in Grand Bay, Alabama

Jackson, Jonathan (2008-08-15)

The northern hard clam, Mercenaria mercenaria, has proven to be a profitable aquaculture species along the Eastern seaboard as well as the west coast of Florida. The potential for M. mercenaria aquaculture in the North ...

Improving Tolerance to Hypoxia in the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica

Ford, Courtney (2005-08-15)

The loss of oyster reefs is attributed to a variety of causes including over fishing, disease, and periodic hypoxia. Hypoxia, as well as brief periods of anoxia, is a problem in Mobile Bay, in particular. Development of ...
