Necrotizing hepatopancreatitis: Diagnosis, distribution in shrimp
Necrotizing hepatopancreatitis has become one of the most important bacterial diseases affecting shrimp farming in the Americas.
Latin America FAO project establishes hatchery standards, info system
At a United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) workshop 14 shrimp-producing countries discussed strategies for controlling shrimp diseases.
Selectively bred shrimp survive varied TSV exposure
A 14-day study evaluated mortalities related to TSV exposure, as broodstock resistant to an “old” strain succumbed to a “new” Belize strain of the virus.
Diseases of cultured yellow perch
Yellow perch is an emerging aquaculture candidate susceptible to a wide range of disease syndromes with infectious and non-infectious causes.
Advances in technology for shrimp virus detection
Shrimp virus detection requires innovative options in tools for viral diseases, such as polymerase chain reaction and isothermal nucleic acid amplification.
Increased water temperature improves survival of TSV-exposed shrimp
The authors ran a series of three trials to test the effects of increased water temperature on the survival rates of juvenile TSV-exposed shrimp.
Principles of animal husbandry for shellfish culturists
From planting seed to monitoring the environment, shellfish farmers have to manage their crops wisely to rear healthy animals and run profitable operations.
High-pressure processing offers varied applications
High-pressure processing can destroy or inactivate microbial cells in seafood to improve shelf life, quality and food safety.
Australian test studies potential of probiotics in oyster hatcheries
At oyster hatcheries around the world, prevention and control of infectious bacterial diseases has involved the use antibiotics and disinfectants.
Temperature, salinity affect egg survival, hatching rate in bullseye puffers
In Mexico, there is interest in the culture of various finfish species, including bullseye puffers, a commercially important fish with aquaculture potential.
Yucca extract reduces ammonia concentrations in Mexico shrimp trial
The authors evaluated the effects of a yucca extract on water quality and the production parameters of Pacific white shrimp.
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.
Microsatellites: Applications in aquaculture
Microsatellites are useful for molecular tagging of individuals and molecular dissection of complex traits such as growth, temperature tolerance and disease resistance.
SPF fleshy prawns show potential for genetic improvement
In a recent effort to produce specific pathogen-free (SPF) stocks of the fleshy prawn, researchers from two U.S. institutions collaborated.
Functional genomics studies explore shrimp responses to viral pathogens
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.
Selective breeding raises WSSV resistance in fleshy prawns
With the fleshy prawn (Fenneropenaeus chinensis), family selection appears to be a promising prospect that could enhance WSSV resistance.
