Evaluation of soybean meal from selected cultivars of soybeans for use in practical diets for L. vannamei
(2013-11-08)
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of twelve sources of soybean meal (SBM), which included new soy varieties in practical feed formulation for Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, using both digestibility ...
Effect of Ammonia Nitrogen on Production and Haemolymph of Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Cultured in Low Salinity Ponds in Greene County, Alabama
(2014-07-24)
Water temperature, pH, and concentration of total ammonia nitrogen were measured on 12 sampling date in summer 2013 in eight shrimp ponds on an inland, low-salinity shrimp farm in Alabama. Shrimp haemolymph samples also ...
Evaluation of production characteristics of four strains of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus and a red variety under two sets of intensive culture conditions
(2011-11-22)
The wide native range of Nile tilapia O. niloticus offers the possibility of genetic diversity within the species and variation among populations as to their suitability for aquaculture. But only a few populations have ...
Bio-economic Factors Affecting Feasibility of Floating In-pond Raceway Systems: A Stella Modeling Approach
(2011-05-19)
Floating in-pond raceway (FIPR) systems have the potential to efficiently compete with conventional ponds in their ability to produce large quantities of fish profitably. However, little is known about the biological and ...
Age, growth, home range, movement, and habitat selection of redeye bass (Micropterus coosae) from the middle Tallapoosa River tributaries (Alabama, USA).
(2011-01-13)
Redeye bass Micropterus coosae is a common, but underutilized sport fish resource in Alabama. This species is the most attractive of all the black basses, and has a reputation as a formidable catch on light tackle. Redeye ...
The Relationship Between Shoreline Development and Resident Fish Communities in Lake Martin, Alabama
(2011-04-06)
Many reservoirs in the southeastern U.S. have experienced an increase in human development along its shorelines. This development often includes armoring the shoreline with either bulkheads or riprap to reduce erosion and ...
Supplemental Feeding of Bluegill as a Small Impoundment Enhancement for Largemouth Bass
(2011-04-01)
Several pond enhancements are commonly used to increase fish production or enhance angling opportunities. I investigated whether providing supplemental feed to bluegill leads to higher reproductive rates, and if the ...
Evaluation of Biological Agents for Controlling Enteric Septicemia of Catfish
(2011-05-03)
Enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC), caused by the bacterium Edwardsiella ictaluri, is considered the most important bacterial disease of cultured channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus and is estimated to cost the industry ...
Predation Effects on Age-0 Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus on Artificial Reefs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2011-03-29)
Small artificial reefs were built in July 2008 (n = 20), and 2009 (n = 20), 28 km south of Dauphin Island, Alabama, in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Each reef consisted of a polyethylene pallet (1.22 x 1.02 x 0.14 m), to ...
