Evaluation Of Flavor Of Pacific White Shrimp Penaeus Vannamei Cultured In Low Salinity Water
(2011-08-15)
Water quality variables and phytoplankton were monitored in five ponds with low-salinity water (2-3 ppt) for culture of Pacific white shrimp (Pennaeus vannamei) at a farm in West Alabama from August to October. Shrimps ...
Cyanobacterial Blooms in the Southeast: Understanding Their Distribution and Management
(2011-08-04)
Water is vital for life. The increased demand for freshwater resources dictates that current water practices must ensure access to and availability of high-quality water for future generations. Phytoplankton community ...
Fine-scale movements and home ranges of red snapper Lutjanus campechanus around artificial reefs in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(2011-11-14)
Few studies have examined fine-scale movement patterns of continental shelf marine fishes. For example, little is known about an important marine species, red snapper Lutjanus campechanus, and its fine-scale movement ...
Analysis of Florida Pompano Trachinotus carolinus performance when fed practical diets of increasing levels of cotton seed flour processed by varying methods
(2014-05-02)
Florida pompano is a propitious species for marine aquaculture, and high demand has made the development of practical feed formulations essential. The cost of feed can be reduced by alternative plant protein sources such ...
Studies on the Microbiota of Fishes and the Factors Influencing Their Composition
(2014-07-24)
In this dissertation, I aimed to characterize the microbiota of finfish including identification of the bacteria present as well as the factors that influence their composition. I examined the microbiota of the skin, gill, ...
Towards the identification of sex-determining gene(s) in channel catfish
(2013-06-20)
Sex is the most fundamental feature in the life of an organism. Studying of sex determination is an important area in animal developmental and evolutionary biology, as well as ecology. In teleost, sex determination mechanism ...
Comparative genome analysis of related catfish species
(2014-12-12)
Catfish belong to the order Siluriformes. They are one of the largest orders of teleost fish, with over 5,000 living species, accounting for approximately 15% of teleost fish species, or 7.8% of all vertebrates. Catfish ...
Reproductive Confinement of Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio, and Channel Catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, via Transgenic Sterilization
(2012-12-05)
Transgenic animals had shown great potential for increasing growth rate, ability to resist disease, and for use as tool to research in forward and reverse genetics. Genetically modified animals could pose ecological risk ...
A Comparative Study of Habitat Value for the Juvenile Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Provided by Off-bottom Oyster Farming in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2015-01-07)
In the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM), the quality and quantity of nursery habitat available for juvenile utilization is the most critical limiting factor affecting local populations of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. ...
Genome-wide Characterization of Heat Shock Proteins in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and Determination of Their Involvement in Diseases
(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 ...
