Object counting in aquaculture is an important task, and has been widely applied in fish population estimation, estimation of lobster abundance and scallop stocks, and so forth. However, underwater object counting is challenging for biologists and marine scientists because of the diversity of...

With the purpose of figuring out the situation of pollution caused by fresh water aquaculture in China, the study is devoted to the zoning of aquaculture areas according to the aquatic product output of each province and pollution discharge amount of pond culture, thus the related areas in the...

The aquaculture of the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis has become the leading and pillar of aquaculture in China. The tremor disease (TD) caused by Spiroplasmaeriocheiris is the most destructive disease of E. sinensis. At present, the treatment of TD in crabs mainly depends on antibiotics....

Spiroplasma eriocheiris, the pathogen of Eriocheir sinensis tremor disease (TD), has bring a huge economic loss to China aquaculture. The hemocytes of crab as the first target cells of S. eriocheiris, but the interactive relationship between the E. sinensis and this pathogen not particularly clear. ...

To understand the homeostasis mechanism of crustacean hepatopancreas to cold stress, iTRAQ proteomics based on the genome database of Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei) was applied to investigate proteins changes and variety of the hepatopancreas during cold stress stage in this study. A total of...

Breeding programs in oriental river prawn populations would benefit from a knowledge of heritabilities for growth-related traits to assess their potential for genetic improvement. This study reports the results of heritability estimation and evaluation of epistatic interactions for growth-related...

Rearing density and disease management are considered as pivotal factors determining shrimp farm productivity and profitability. To systematically investigate the potential mechanisms for density-related differences between disease susceptibility and rearing densities, we conducted comparative...

Shrimp nursery rearing technology is increasingly being used by aquatic farmers and enterprises. Determining an appropriate density restriction in order to obtain a greater compensatory growth potential is the key to this technology. Based on the industry standards for indoor shrimp farming, three ...

Background: It has been suggested that aquaculture ponds on the Chinese coast could act as breeding grounds for scyphozoans. Here, we present the first record of the scyphomedusa Phyllorhiza sp. in an aquaculture pond on the coast of the southern Yellow Sea, based on a combination of morphological...

Microplastics have become a worldwide pollutant, widely discovered in soil, air and aquatic environment. Microplastics have been found in habitats where crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) cultivated, but the impact of microplastics on crayfish remains unclear. In this study, after 21-day dietary...
