Evaluating the Effects of Threadfin Shad on Largemouth Bass and Bluegill Populations in Small Impoundments
(2016-01-12)
Threadfin Shad are commonly stocked into small impoundments (<40 hectares in surface area) to increase the growth and condition of Largemouth Bass, ultimately to enhance recreational fishing. However, the effects of Threadfin ...
Estimation of Red Snapper Abundance on Oil and Gas Platforms in the northern Gulf of Mexico based on Mark Recapture Methods
(2019-11-19)
Estimating abundance of sport and commercial reef fish species remains difficult due to cryptic habitat use patterns. One such species is Red Snapper, Lutjanus campechanus, which is perhaps the most important fish species ...
Optimization of feed management for Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
(2016-05-05)
Manufactured feed is one of the important components of commercial shrimp aquaculture, providing nutritional balance for farmed shrimp. However, it is also the primary source causing problems related to water quality. ...
