Sound Production And The Effect Of Noise On Communication In The Blacktail Shiner (Cyprinella venusta)
(2012-06-06)
Animal communication is important in the success and survival of species. In order to find a potential mate, individuals must be able to communicate effectively with each other. This communication may involve identification ...
Economic Impact of Striped Bass Angler Visitation at Lewis Smith Lake, Alabama
(2012-04-09)
Recreational fishing for black bass (largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and Alabama bass M. henshalli) and stocked striped bass Morone saxatilis are popular activities at Lewis Smith Lake, Alabama. The objective of the ...
Persistence of fish assemblages on sand and gravel bar habitat in the Alabama River, Alabama
(2012-04-19)
The Alabama River is a biologically diverse system containing over 180 native fishes and at least 33 endemics. Many studies have surveyed species of conservation concern, such as the federally endangered Alabama Sturgeon ...
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 ...
Comparative Genomic Analysis of Catfish Linkage Group 27 with Teleost Species Genomes
(2012-07-20)
Comparative genomics is a powerful tool to transfer genomic information from model species to related non-model species. Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is the primary aquaculture species in the United States. Its ...
Second generation of catfish genetic linkage map and integration of catfish genetic linkage and physical maps using BAC-anchored microsatellites
(2012-07-17)
Integration of physical and linkage maps is a critical step in building necessary genome resources for fine mapping of QTL, comparative genomics, and accurate and efficient whole genome assembly. Previously, we have ...
Identification of Geographic Origin of Ictalurid Catfish and Penaeid Shrimp by Elemental Profiling
(2012-07-18)
Three investigations were performed related to identification of geographic origin of aquatic products by elemental profiling and multivariate statistics.
In the first study, fillets of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus ...
Histological atlas of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) with comparison of Alabama rainbow (Villosa nebulosa), Gulf pigtoe (Fusconaia cerina), and Alabama creekmussel (Strophitus connasaugaensis), from the Mobile River Basin, Alabama
(2012-11-12)
The “freshwater mussels” (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Unionoida) are a species rich group of parasitic bivalves comprising an estimated 898 species in 6 families, 2 subfamilies, and 29 genera worldwide. Renown for its biodiversity, ...
Studies for Improvement of Reproductive Biotechnology for Production of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Female X Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Male Hybrid Embryos
(2012-12-10)
Investigative studies were conducted on the relative effectiveness between carp pituitary extract (CPE), luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analog (LHRHa) injections and LHRHa implants for producing hybrid catfish ...
Genetic Response to Acute Hypoxia in Channel Catfish (Ictaluruspunctatus), Blue Catfish (Ictalurusfurcatus) and Hybrid Catfish
(2012-08-10)
The catfish industry is one of the largestdomestic aquaculture markets in the United States. In aggregate, the industry was valued at $423 million dollars in 2011 and is dominated by the production of channel catfish ...
