Regional authorities regulate antibiotic use
The regulation of antibiotic use aims to guarantee the safety and efficacy of the drugs for the animals treated and protecting the health of consumers.
Nutritional considerations for Pacific white shrimp reared in inland, low-salinity waters
Numerous environmental, social and economic advantages support the expansion of euryhaline shrimp and fish production away from coastal environments.
Ecuador develops GIS-assisted alert system for shrimp farming
Geographic information systems provide analysis of spatial and temporal datasets in a cartographic form and allow database query and modeling at the same time.
Phospholipids: Essential nutrients for shrimp
Phospholipids play important roles in maintaining normal cell structure and functions and are sources of second messengers in cell signaling.
Ploidy manipulation induces sterility in kuruma prawns
Recent advances in the genetic mapping of kuruma prawns (P. japonicus) have indicated that the female may be the heterogametic sex in this species.
Larval shrimp nutrition, a review
As the industry moves toward the use of domesticated stocks, greater demands will be made on larval shrimp nutrition to support optimum performance.
Improving shellfish aquaculture through triploidy
Triploid bivalves have sparked worldwide interest since the 1980s because of their reported enhanced growth, meat content, flavor and disease resistance.
Broodstock shrimp nutrition, a review
Research into broodstock shrimp nutrition will be a key element in the further use of domesticated and genetically selected stocks for aquaculture.
Ecogenomics: New approach to understanding oyster health
The health of two key oyster species – the American and Pacific – is constantly under threat of parasitic infections leading to diseases MSX and dermo.
Lab studies genes involved with growth, development of bay scallops
In the 1960s, scientists identified bay scallops as a candidate for aquaculture and established many of the techniques behind current culture methodologies.
Seafood allergies: Varied responses deserve attention
Seafood allergies result in symptoms like hay fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hives and asthma but some individuals experience severe and occasionally fatal anaphylactic reactions.
Researchers seek cause of retarded growth In Thai black tiger shrimp
Since 2002, the majority of Thai shrimp farmers have had problems with retarded growth when rearing black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).
Genetic improvement of Pacific blue shrimp addresses Syndrome 93 in New Caledonia
Caused by the bacteria Vibrio penaeicida, Syndrome 93 is triggered by temperature drops during the passage of cold fronts in winter.
Combined live/formulated diet enhances weight gain at first feed in larval Nile tilapia
Early postmetamorphic stages of fish feed mainly on zooplankton. As larvae develop, their dietary requirements change and they adopt adult dietary habits.
RAS polyculture of channel catfish, Nile tilapia
High-density RAS polyculture of channel catfish and tilapia in tanks or raceways has several advantages over traditional pond culture.
Stocking density, nursery duration influence shrimp growth, survival during grow-out
A nursery phase is a significant management strategy for many shrimp farmers in tropical regions and is becoming standard practice in subtropical regions.
