Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Developing a systematic phenotypic data analysis pipeline, creating enhanced visualizations, and interpreting the results is crucial to extract meaningful insights from data in making better breeding decisions. Here, we provide an overview of how the Rainfed Rice Breeding (RRB) program at IRRI has leveraged R computational power with open-source resource tools like R Markdown, plotly, ...

Abstract:
... The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of hCG injections on reproductive efficiency by hCG treatment in both male or female brooders of domesticated pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) in the first generation. The study consisted of four treatments based on hormone injection to male or female brooders including T1: both sexes were injected, T2: only females were injected, T3: only male ...

Abstract:
... The pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of meloxicam were investigated after single intravascular (IV), intramuscular (IM), and oral dose of 1 mg/kg in rainbow trout broodstock at 11 ± 1.2°C. A total of 36 healthy rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstock weighing 1.40 ± 0.26 kg was used for the investigation. Plasma concentrations of meloxicam were measured with high‐performance liquid chro ...

Abstract:
... Turn alternation (TA) is the tendency to turn in the opposite direction of an immediately preceding turn when moving forward, resulting in an overall linear trajectory. TA has been observed in many animals, and terrestrial isopods are considered model organisms for studying TA. Optimizing their fleeing speed and trajectory helps isopods efficiently escape from predatory threats. However, since rep ...

Abstract:
... We provide detailed rearing methods and describe green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) gonadal development and histological differentiation for both sexes. Developing in-depth aquaculture protocols and describing the gonadal differentiation of green sunfish could facilitate strategies to control nuisance populations, enhance stocking programs, and provide information for this species' use in bioassay ...

Abstract:
... Plants provide extrafloral nectar, which is a food resource taken by ants, especially aggressive species that may act as plant guards. To our knowledge, no study has been conducted to concurrently investigate the fluctuation of plant fitness over its whole reproductive season, recording and comparing both short periods (different samplings during the plant’s reproductive season) and the season/poo ...

Abstract:
... Monosex culture was proven to be an effective rearing method for grow-out, but in a closed-cycle hatchery, males and females are usually reared communally in tanks until maturation. This study determined the effect of communal rearing (CR) and separate rearing (SR) on male and female Penaeus indicus broodstock gonad maturation. This study also evaluated the influence of the rearing method on repro ...

Abstract:
... Sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) is a commercially valuable species in Canada with limited aquaculture development. In this study, we partner with Golden Eagle Sablefish in British Columbia (Canada) to assess the role of brood stock selection in hatchery production. Mortality in the hatchery setting is high, especially during the first year of development; thus, interventions that enhance early surv ...
... Intensification of the shrimp sector, also referred to as vertical expansion, has been predominately driven by consecutive incidences of global disease outbreaks, which have caused enormous economic loss for the main producer countries. A growing segment of the shrimp farming industry has opted to use production systems with higher density, biosecurity, and operating control to mitigate the risks ...
... All-male tilapia stocks are widely used by farmers to supply both domestic and international markets with homogenous, large sized fish (500 g+). While a number of strategies are possible, hormonal treatment of fry with 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) is the most common method used by commercial farmers due to its low cost and ease of application. However, contrasting to its current widespread use, the ...
... Innovation has resulted in more dairy products being produced with less inputs than ever before. It has also affected how animals are raised, the structure of the sector and the nature of products produced. Not all impacts have been positive. As disruptive technologies—such as precision farming and robotics—herald significant change, it is timely to reflect on the perspectives of different actors ...

Abstract:
... The problem in the development of Kissing gourami fish culture was quality seeds that cannot be available continuously. Purpose of this research was to examine the need for additional enrichment materials in feed that can optimize the process of gonad maturation of Kissing gourami fish. Treatment A=Commercial feed added with Vegetable Oil, Glutathione, and Egg White; B=Commercial feed added with V ...
... The current study involved exposing adult F0 Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) to Macondo-252 oil for 36 to 44 days and assessing the effects of this oiling on the swimming performance and morphology in two generations of progeny reared in clean water. Following exposure to oil, the F0 fish were used as broodstock to generate four lineages of F1 fish using a full-matrix mating design derived from ...

Abstract:
... Breeding programs for barramundi (Lates calcarifer) are impeded by the lack of control over the sexual development of broodstock. As a protandrous hermaphrodite, barramundi initially sexually mature as male at 2–3 years (2–4 kg body weight; BW), before changing sex to female at 4–6 years (>6–8 kg BW). Recently, precocious female barramundi have been generated using a single intramuscular estrogen ...
... Striped murrel (Channa striata) is a high-value food fish in South and Southeast Asian countries with substantial medicinal properties. High growth rate, consumer preference and year-round market demand insist its candidacy in aquaculture. In addition, striped murrel is suitable for high-density intensive farming systems due to its air-breathing ability. In recent years, the decline in their captu ...

Abstract:
... The endangered Catspaw, Epioblasma obliquata, is restricted to one known reproducing population in Killbuck Creek, Coshocton County, Ohio. Little is known about the genetic diversity of this small population, and such information is needed to help inform recovery planning. We nonlethally sampled 44 individuals of E. obliquata using buccal swabs, from which we developed and characterized 14 polymor ...
... In waters off Península Valdés (PV), Argentina, southern right whales (SRW, Eubalaena australis) are occasionally exposed to domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxin produced by diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. Domoic acid toxicity in marine mammals can cause gastrointestinal and neurological clinical signs, alterations in hematologic and endocrine variables, and can be fatal in extreme cases. In this ...

Abstract:
... Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) and chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) are commercially valuable species in Asian aquaculture. The reduction in eel and chub mackerel resources has been a serious problem in recent years that should be addressed by reducing the catch of their natural populations to halt their decline and reach the Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, securing sufficient food ...

Abstract:
... Age of maturation in many salmonid species is phenotypically plastic and dependent on exceeding a genetically set threshold in growth, often described as a probabilistic maturation reaction norm (PMRN). Hatchery supplementation programs for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Pacific Northwest US have been developed to minimize differences between hatchery and wild fish by integrating ...
... In Slovenia, the unique watershed naturally hosting the marble trout is the Soča River, called Isonzo in Italy. In 1993–1996 molecular data established the existence of extensive hybridization with stocked Atlantic domestic lineages which is a threat for this taxon and for the economy of the country established on the angling tourism. Different management actions have been developed for restoring ...
