Optimization Of Plant Based Diets For Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
(2014-07-24)
Supplies of marine ingredients are finite and their prices are high, fluctuating and the price is expected to continue to rise. The aquaculture industry has long recognized that the viable utilization of plant feedstuffs ...
The Effects of Salinity, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus on Survival and Weight Gain of Gracilaria sp.
(2014-07-29)
Gracilaria is a genus of red marine algae, it is also an economically significant species of macroalgae. The aim of this study is try to use algae itself to reduce organic and inorganic pollution in the aquatic environment ...
Movement Patterns of Gray Triggerfish, Balistes capriscus, Around Artificial Reefs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2014-05-12)
Relatively little is known about the ecology of gray triggerfish, Balistes capriscus Gmelin, despite its importance to both sport and commercial fisheries. In particular, gray triggerfish habitat use is not well understood. ...
The Influence of the Probiotic PondToss™ on Growth Performance and Health of Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus, And Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis Niloticus
(2014-10-24)
In 2011, global aquaculture production of food fish comprising channel catfish and Nile tilapia reached 62.7 million tonnes with an estimated value of US$ 130 billion. As aquaculture technology intensifies to meet market ...
Mutagenesis of virulence genes in an epidemic strain of Aeromonas hydrophila ML09-119 for development of an attenuated vaccine strain
(2014-12-11)
The epidemic strain of Aeromonas hydrophila caused a devastating outbreak of motile Aeromonads septicemia of catfish (MAS) on the fish farms of Southeastern United States in 2009. A.hydrophila ML09-119 was reported to cause ...
Identification and analysis of genome-wide SNPs provide insight into signatures of selection and domestication in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
(2014-12-10)
Domestication and selection for important performance traits can impact the genome, which is most often reflected by reduced heterozygosity in and surrounding genes related to traits affected by selection. In this study, ...
Effects of pre- and probiotics on pond production, growth and disease susceptibility of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus and Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
(2013-12-04)
Disease outbreaks have become a major challenge to the profitable culture of fish and shellfish as aquaculture operations intensify. Globally, total annual losses from disease outbreaks have reached billions of United ...

(2014-05-12)
Invasive species increasingly threaten global biodiversity with faunal homogenizations and are of specific concern in the highly diverse aquatic systems of the Southeast United States. However, patterns of invasion and ...
Assessing effects of supplemental feeding and Threadfin Shad addition to recreational fishing ponds using stable isotope analysis
(2014-05-05)
Pond enhancements are commonly used to increase fish production or enhance angling opportunities, but their effects are often not evaluated. I used stable isotope analysis to estimate the contribution of different rates ...
Genomic Characterization of Expressed Sequence Tags and Gene Expression Profiling of the Three Life-Cycle Stages of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis
(2010-05-05)
The ciliate protozoan Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) is an important parasite of freshwater fish that causes 'white spot’ disease. Ich is a major contributor of fish mortalities and economic loss to both the ornamental ...
