Diet size affects shrimp feeding behavior, growth performance
To understand shrimp feeding behavior, the Oceanic Institute investigated feed delivery systems and responses to experimental diets.
The authors evaluated the effects of a yucca extract on water quality and the production parameters of Pacific white shrimp.
To understand shrimp feeding behavior, the Oceanic Institute investigated feed delivery systems and responses to experimental diets.
Microsatellites are useful for molecular tagging of individuals and molecular dissection of complex traits such as growth, temperature tolerance and disease resistance.
In a recent effort to produce specific pathogen-free (SPF) stocks of the fleshy prawn, researchers from two U.S. institutions collaborated.
The aim of functional genomics on innate antiviral immunity in marine shrimp is to characterize the genes involved in the response to WSSV and other viruses.
With the fleshy prawn (Fenneropenaeus chinensis), family selection appears to be a promising prospect that could enhance WSSV resistance.
Salmonid farming efficiency and profitability can be increased by improving the ability of fish to incorporate carotenoids from feed into their flesh.
A study at Purdue hypothesized that when provided with iodine, the thyroid would increase the production of thyroid hormones in steelhead trout.
High hydrostatic pressure processing can improve shelf life, quality and safety of seafood products, but microorganisms’ responses vary significantly.
The development of inland prawn farming using low-salinity groundwater may allow Australia’s prawn farmers to expand beyond the coastal fringe.
Idiopathic muscle necrosis or IMN causes “brown muscle syndrome” in black tiger prawns in Thailand, as well as other penaeid shrimp.
Environmental factors can influence the sex ratios of fishes, and this knowledge could be useful to develop all-male Nile tilapia stocks without hormones.
A regional workshop in Malaysia was the starting point for an initiative to promote cooperation in marine fish aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region.
High hydrostatic pressure processing, which got its start over a century ago, is finally reaching the point where it can be commercially applied on a large scale.
It is important for any breeding program that founding populations be large enough to incorporate the diversity of the wild animals.
The requirement for a year-round egg supply demanded the establishment of more sophisticated broodstock holding facilities, with both light and temperature control.
