The focus of this study was on tributaries of the Middle Chattahoochee River where Shoal Bass Micropterus cataractae and Chattahoochee Bass Micropterus chattahoochae are experiencing declines, mainly due to anthropogenic ...

Comparing triploid and diploid growth and mortality in farmed oysters, Crassostrea virginica, in the northern Gulf of Mexico 

Wadsworth, Pandora (2018-02-05)
The significance of the triploid advantage, in terms of growth and survival, varies across studies and environmental conditions. A meta-analysis was performed with 30 studies using chemically induced triploids and triploids ...

Effects of Environmentally Relevant PFOS Concentrations on Unionid Bioaccumulation, Benthic-pelagic Coupling, and Gene Expression 

Strozier, Amanda (2021-08-03)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic chemicals that have high energy carbon and fluorine bonds that make them resistant to metabolic breakdown and degradation. These substances are emerging ...

Improving High Soy Feed Formulations for Florida Pompano Trachinotus carolinus through Phytase Supplementation. 

Roe, Charles (2016-08-01)
The economically sound and sustainable aquaculture of many marine species in the coming years is dependent on the reduction of fish meal and the increased inclusion of plant protein sources. Florida Pompano perform well ...

A metabolic approach to assessing interactions between climate change, agrochemicals, and freshwater mussel reproduction
