Development of diets for soft-shell mangrove crabs (Scylla spp)

Lwin, May (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 ...

Effects of minimum dissolved oxygen setpoints for aeration in semi-intensive pond production of Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Araujo, Adela (2024-04-29)

Aeration is considered one of the most critical factors in shrimp farming as it affects the metabolism of shrimp and other living organisms within a pond. Maintenance proper dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations is critical, ...

The Efficiency of Modified Canola Oil as a Replacement of Menhaden Fish Oil in Practical Diet for Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei

Vo, Linh (2019-04-17)

Lipids are an essential component of the diet serving as source of energy and components of cell structures. Marine species require a certain level of specific fatty acids in their diet as they have limited ability to ...

Evaluating various management strategies of biofloc systems and understanding the physiological basis behind the thermal tolerance of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei in low salinity waters

Hussain, Aya S. (2023-04-28)

Biofloc technology (BFT), in its various types, has been known to be a realistic solution for efficiently managing water quality with low or no water exchange, enhancing shrimp growth performance and establishing an efficient ...

Evaluation of an alternative salt mixture and the levels of magnesium in low salinity water for Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Galkanda-Arachchige, Harsha (2021-04-12)

One of the primary challenges faced by inland shrimp farmers today is the higher cost of reconstituted sea salts (RSS) which represents a considerable financial burden considering the volume of salt necessary for the ...

Evaluation of dietary immunostimulants and probiotics on growth performance and health indices of channel catfish, tilapia, and shrimp.

Cacot, Guillaume (2023-08-07) ETD File Embargoed

Channel catfish, Nile tilapia, and whiteleg shrimp are three major aquaculture species worldwide. Growth performance and disease mortality are common bottlenecks within these culture systems. Feed supplementation with ...

Evaluation of Fabrea Salina and Other Ciliates as Alternative Live Foods for First-Feeding Red Snapper, Lutjanus Campechanus, Larvae

Rhodes, Melanie (2005-08-15)

One of the major challenges with the culture of red snapper Lutjanus campechanus is providing an appropriate food source at the onset of feeding. At first-feeding the larvae has limited endogenous reserves and within hours ...

An Evaluation of Natural and Artificial Dietary Lipid Sources on Egg Quality and Fry Production in Channel Catfish (male) X Blue Catfish (female) Hybridization

Durland, Evan (2007-12-15)

Hybrid catfish (channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus? x blue catfish I. furcatus?) display many characteristics that are favorable to aquaculture production such as increased growth, resistance to disease, higher dress out ...

An Evaluation of Nursery Techniques and Feed Management During Culture of Marine Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Zelaya, Oscar (2005-12-15)

The use of indoor shrimp nurseries is often encouraged, especially prior to intensive and super-intensive shrimp culture. Potential benefits in subsequent grow out include; better control of stock inventory, better ...

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 ...

Impacts of Feed Additives on Surface Mucosal Health and Columnaris Susceptibility in Channel Catfish, Ictalurus punctatus

Zhao, Honggang (2015-07-29)

One of the highest priority areas for improvement in aquaculture is the development of dietary additives and formulations which provide for complete mucosal health and protection of fish raised in intensive systems. Far ...
