Aquaculture

In an attempt to reduce costs and improve the sustainability of aquafeeds, commercial fish feed producers are substituting fishmeal with crop-based...

Our study was conducted to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility profiles, integrons and their associated gene cassettes (GCs), and insertion sequence common regions of Escherichia coli isolates from Penaeus vannamei collected at a large-scale freshwater shrimp farm in Zhejiang Province,...

Tyramine (TA), a neuroactive chemical, plays various important physiological roles in insects by activating distinct G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In this study, we investigated the effects of by pharmacological injection of TA on immune resistance regulation and its signal pathway in white...

In July 2015, a cluster of five suspect cases of clinically diagnosed Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) skin infections were reported to the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPRDHU), Ontario, Canada, with two additional cases subsequently identified through case finding. All...

Approximately 360 species of finfish are farmed worldwide and it has been estimated that at least tens of billions of individual farmed fish might be slaughtered every year, which is a far greater number than all the individuals of any other type of farmed vertebrate animal. Finfish are considered...

A few major ions contribute most of the weight of dissolved solids in water. Direct determination of total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration is tedious, and the electrical conductivity of freshwater and the salinity of saline water are common surrogates for TDS in aquaculture. The primary...

Polyploidy in sturgeons makes them highly susceptible to interspecific hybridization, and these interspecific hybrids have been described in nature as well as in captivity. Nevertheless, the fitness-related traits between sturgeon hybrids and pure species have been poorly compared as yet. In the...

[Objective]: In order to provide reference for ecological restoration of large-scale cultivation ponds of Pelteobagrus eupogon culture, methods to regulate the water quality of culture ponds by bio-floating beds were screened. [Method]: Alternanthera philoxeroides and Eichhornia crassipes...
