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 ...
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 ...
Polyculture of carps in integrated broiler-cum-fishfarming systems
Type: Book Chapter
A study was undertaken to determine fish species combinations that would result in optimum production levels in integrated broiler raising systems. Its objectives were: (i) to evaluate the production potential of fish in ...
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 ...
Effect of transportation stress on hepatic glycogen of Oreochromis niloticus (L.)
Type: Journal Article
Oreochromis niloticus was subjected to transportation stress to investigate hepatic glycogen levels and mortality as indices of stress. Mortalities lasted up to three days after transportation, except in highly aerated ...
