Shrimp genetic improvement in Mexico
Genetic improvement will play a key role in the further development of the ongoing domestication of shrimp, important for the industry's long-term acceptance.
Selective breeding essential for further productivity, sustainability in aquaculture
If selective breeding is done for several traits simultaneously, the selection response for each will be reduced, as compared to single-trait selection.
Domestication and broodstock management
A domesticated organism is trained to live with, or be of service to, humans. In practice, their life cycle has been closed in artificial environments.
Microbial plate counts: Do they accurately predict quality in aquacultured catfish?
Can microbial plate counts accurately distinguish fish fillet quality? It's an effective quality indicator for some aquaculture species but not others.
Improved shrimp larviculture using diatoms
Progressive hatchery operators recognize the benefits of adding benthic pennate diatoms of the genera Amphora and Navicula to their larviculture tanks.
Genetic improvement of marine fish
Aquaculture often fails to enhance productivity and competitiveness with genetic improvement, perhaps due to uncertainty over which methods should be used.
Scotland study evaluates immune responses, disease resistance in clonal lines of Nile tilapia
Once a pathogen breaches the physical barriers of its host, it encounters the nonspecific immune response components that attack and help destroy the pathogen.
Performance testing of clonal Nile tilapia lines
An approach to improve growth performance and phenotypic uniformity is the reduction of genetic variability by production of clonal Nile tilapia lines.
Role of lipids and vitamins in maturing shrimp
The biochemical characterization of wild female broodstock provides baseline data on the roles of lipids and vitamins in shrimp maturation.
Long-term storage for immobilized microalgae
The entrapment, storage and processing of microalgae into alginate beads is a useful technology for stock culture management.
Black tiger shrimp hatcheries in India, an overview
Commercial black tiger shrimp hatcheries in India developed rapidly since 1993 due to drastic demand increases and seedstock shortages.
Genetic selection can increase feed efficiency of salmon
Greater Atlantic salmon feeding efficiency can be obtained through improved feeds and genetic selection for feed utilization.
Polyploidy in shrimp
Polyploidy in shrimp, or the application of triploid or tetraploid chromosomes, can result in superior culture performance.
Biosecurity basics for shrimp aquaculture
Biosecurity in shrimp aquaculture is achieved by preventing the presence, growth, and spread of pathogenic microorganisms.
Heightened surveillance of chloramphenicol residues in shrimp
Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic banned for use in food animals by the European Union and the United States Food and Drug Administration.
Testing commercial feeds with tilapia broodstock
Nutrient levels in Nile tilapia broodstock feed affect their frequency of spawning, clutch size, egg quality and overall seedstock output.
