Effective culture and management of adult tri-spine horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus can ensure that stock enhancement programs and aquaculture systems are maintained. To explore suitable feed for animals during the breeding season, Pacific oyster (Ostrea gigas) (oyster group; OG) and frozen...

To investigate the effects of addition of EM on the water quality and microbial community structure in polyculture of Eriocheir sinensis and Micropterus salmoides, one-month EM treatment experiment was conducted with period I (April 10 th), period II (April 20 th), period III (April 30 th), and...

The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne Edwards), is an important economic and widely cultivated aquaculture species in China. Under the requirements of health aquaculture, effective microorganisms (EM) have been widely introduced in E. sinensis culture. To date, however, we know...

The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne Edwards), is an important economic aquaculture species in China. It is very popular within Chinese consumers for the abundant nutrition and delicious taste. It has been widely cultured and had great yield recently; yet, the short available time...

Crustacea, the subphylum of Arthropoda which dominates the aquatic environment, is of major importance in ecology and fisheries. Here we report the genome sequence of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, covering ∼1.66 Gb (scaffold N50 605.56Kb) with 25,596 protein-coding genes and a high ...

We established an improved method for in vitro culture of glochidia in freshwater mussel Cristaria plicata and compared the transformation percentage in L-15 basic medium supplemented with different plasma from host fish or two non-host fish species. The results showed that the metamorphosis rate...

In China, the in-pond raceway system (IPRS) recirculating culture is a new model of freshwater aquaculture. A 120-day feeding study was carried out to evaluate the influence of stocking density on growth, digestive enzymes activity, serum parameters, antioxidant status, liver and intestine...

Macrobrachium rosenbergii, also known as the giant river prawn, the giant freshwater prawn or the Malaysian prawn, is the most important cultivated species of freshwater shrimp in the world. This species (as well as other Macrobrachium) is commercially important for its value as a food source. In...

Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, is an important freshwater cultured crab in China with an annual production of approximately 800,000 m.t. and a value of 5 billion US dollars in 2014. The germplasm admixture and degeneration of E. sinensis are the most critical factors that restrict its ...

Objective: We estimated the effects of diets, substrate and stocking density on the survival rate and growth of juvenile mussel obtained from in vitro culture of glochidia in pink heelsplitter, P.alatus. Result: The results showed that the juvenile mussel in Group A1 with pond mud substrate and...
