Disruption of Embryonic Development in Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus, Using 'Sterile-Feral' Gene Constructs 

Templeton, Christopher (2005-08-15)
Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, embryos were electroporated with a sterile feral 3 (SF3), sterile feral 4 (SF4), glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) or CAB constructs and a blank control. Doxycycline was applied to some ...

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 Host Age and PKH26 Dye Concentration on Stem Cell Viability, Colonization Rate, and Offspring Performance for Production of Xenogenic Catfish 

Gurbatow, Jeremy (2020-05-15)
Xenogenesis has been identified as an innovative technology for hybrid catfish (♀ channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus × ♂ blue catfish, I. furcatus) embryo production. Currently, blue catfish donor stem cells are collected ...

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 ...

Genome-wide Characterization of Heat Shock Proteins in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and Determination of Their Involvement in Diseases 

Song, Lin (2014-11-24)
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) consist of a large group of chaperones whose expression is induced by a number of stresses such as exposures to high temperature, hypoxia and infection. In this study, I identified a total of ...

Genotype-Environment Interactions For Growth, Survival, Sexual Dimorphism and Seinability For Different Genetic Types of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) ♀ X Blue Catfish (I. furcatus) ♂ Cultured In Three Environments 

Makhubu, Nonkonzo (2014-08-01)
For this study, eight genetic types of channel catfish (Ictarulus punctatus) female x blue catfish (I. furcatus) male hybrids were reared in three environments: a low density pond, a high density pond and an in-pond raceway ...

Growth and Morphology of a Synthetic Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)-Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Backcross Breed and the Hybrid Between the Backcross Female and Blue Catfish Male 

Li, Shangjia (2020-05-13)
The F1 hybrid between a channel catfish female (Ictalurus punctatus) × a blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) outperforms both parental species in commercial environments for numerous traits. However, reproductive isolation ...

Isolation, Identification, Culture, Cryopreservation, Genetic Transformation and Transplantation of Catfish Germline Stem Cells 

Mei, Shang (2013-11-25)
The hybrid of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) ♀ × blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) ♂ (C × B) is the best catfish for pond culture. The current technology, artificial fertilization and handstripping is labor intensive, ...
