A computer software package for assessing and managing risks posed by experiments with genetically modified fish and shellfish
Type: Journal Article
Assessment and management of risk is needed for sustainable use of genetically modified aquatic organisms (aquatic GMOs). A computer software package for safely conducting research with genetically modified fish and shellfish ...
Marine fisheries, genetic effects and biodiversity
Type: Journal Article
Preservation of marine biodiversity deserves serious consideration as almost 65% of the earth's organisms (excluding insects) are marine. There is little knowledge at present on the status of marine biodiversity. However, ...
The potential for crop rotation in controlling diseases in shrimp culture
Type: Journal Article
The use of antibiotics and other chemicals in controlling shrimp pathogens become ineffective as the strains grow more resistant to these chemicals. Moreover, the bacterial pathogen (Vibrio harveyi) produced biofilm coating ...
Growth, mortality and yield-per-recruit of the poor cod, Trisopterus minutus capelanus, from the Strait of Sicily
Type: Journal Article
Length-based methods (LBMs) were used to study the growth of Trisopterus minutus capelanus in the Strait of Sicily (Messina Strait). A total of 16,304 'merluzzetto' or poor cod collected by experimental trawling off the ...
Ecological input-costs in agricultural production in northwest Kampuchea
Type: Journal Article
On-farm trials were used to evaluate the agro-economic feasibility of growing a second rice crop in Northwest Kampuchea in the dry season, and to calculate the costs and benefits of ecological inputs in agricultural ...
Diet composition and trophic levels of marine mammals
Type: Journal Article
Standardized diet compositions were derived for 97 species of marine mammals from published accounts of stomach contents as well as from morphological, behavioural and other information. Diet was apportioned among eight ...
Length-weight relationship of fishes from coral reefs and lagoons of New Caledonia: an update
Type: Journal Article
Length-weight relationships of 316 reef and lagoon fish from New Caledonia (SW Pacific Ocean) belonging to 68 families are computed. A total of 43,750 individuals was used for this purpose. Fish were sampled by different ...
Molecular probes and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) -based kits for diagnosis of shrimp diseases
Type: Journal Article
Technology for effective and fast diagnosis of animal diseases is essential for developing aquaculture management strategies. This paper reviews the conventional techniques for shrimp disease diagnosis and discusses the ...
Availability of wild spat of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, from 'open' reef systems in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
In this paper, we report results from a 2-year sampling program to assess spatial and temporal variation in abundances of spat in Solomon Islands. In particular, we focus on the apparent characteristics of good sites for ...
Vital statistics of marine fishes of Vanuatu
Type: Journal Article
Vital statistics are presented for 38 marine species of Vanuatu based on previous studies conducted in the area, with parameters describing growth (6 species, 13 sets of parameters), mortality (estimates of M for 6 species), ...
