Abstract:
... Heteropneustes fossilis is distributed in most of the Southeast Asian countries. It is a promising species for aquaculture due to its high protein and iron content, ability to withstand shifts in salinity and temperature, and survival in oxygen depleted water. In view of the above, this study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of varying levels of dietary l-histidine on growth, protein gain, h ...

Abstract:
... Captive breeding programs are a common approach to preventing extinction and rehabilitating endangered stocks of Pacific salmonids. To minimize inbreeding in these typically small populations, genetic data from microsatellite loci have been used to estimate relatedness and choose spawning pairs. Phenotypic attributes (e.g., body size), that result at least in part from environmental conditions dur ...

... The sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) belongs to the phylum Echinodermata, which includes approximately 7000 living species. It is one of the most important aquacultural species in China. A linkage map is an essential framework for mapping traits of interest and a basic tool needed in many fields of genetic studies. In this study, we constructed a consensus genetic map of Apostichopus japonicu ...

Abstract:
... Appropriately designed selective breeding programs are needed to limit the loss of genetic diversity and control levels of inbreeding, and to base selection decisions on data collected from many offspring of many families. Achieving a relatively even contribution by broodstock to subsequent generations is necessary and for many aquaculture species this is possible to control through mate pairing. ...

Abstract:
... This paper demonstrates that conventional bioenergetic models, that are commonly used to simulate fish growth or consumption, violate basic requirements of energy conservation when improperly applied for cases where the energy density of the fish is either a function of fish wet weight or an independent function of time. It appears that many previously published modeling results suffer from this d ...

Abstract:
... The culture of ornamental organisms is seen as a possible alternative to capturing wild specimens. The low newborn survival in seahorse aquaculture may be related to the provision of ideal live food since seahorses do not accept dry food. In most cultures of seahorses, juveniles are fed Artemia sp. nauplii and rotifers however, the newborn survival is not always satisfactory. The use of wild pelag ...
