Selection For Enhanced Disease Resistance And Growth Performance In Cross-Bred Eastern Oysters, Crassostrea Virginica, Paul Rawson
Selection For Enhanced Disease Resistance And Growth Performance In Cross-Bred Eastern Oysters, Crassostrea Virginica, Paul Rawson
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
Through a replicated field trial we will test the hypothesis that enhanced disease resistance to multiple diseases and improved growth can be realized through a combination of interline crossing and genetic selection on cross-bred lines of oysters.
Together with oyster growers, hatchery operators and extension agents, we will develop guidelines and protocols for the transfer of the best performing lines from our program to commercial hatcheries and the industry. Project results and updates on access to broodstock will be presented at the annual NACE meeting, at annual meetings of the National Shellfisheries Association and via a Fact Sheet at the …

Read about the natural history of Maine's oyster populations, and how the University of Maine and independent aquaculturists have brought these native shellfish back to coastal waters--and tables--in Maine. This story appeared in the March 2008 issue of Maine Boats, Homes, & Harbors magazine.
Magnitude Of The Freshwater Turtle Exports From The Us: Long Term Trends And Early Effects Of Newly Implemented Harvest Management Regimes., Ivana Mali, Michael W. Vandewege, Scott K. Davis, Michael R.J. Forstner

College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Publications and Scholarship
Unregulated commercial harvest remains a major threat for turtles across the globe. Due to continuing demand from Asian markets, a significant number of turtles are exported from the United States of America (US). Beginning in 2007, several southeastern states in the US implemented restrictions on the commercial harvest of turtles, in order to address the unsustainable take. We have summarized freshwater turtle exports from the US between 2002 and 2012 and demonstrated that the magnitude of turtle exports from the US remained high although the exports decreased throughout the decade. Louisiana and California were the major exporters. The majority of …

In Vitro Assessment On Intestinal Microflora From Commonly Farmed Fishes For Control Of The Fish Pathogen Edwardsiella Tarda, Jiun Yan Loh, Yau Yan Lim, Sharr Azni Harmin, Adeline Su Yien Ting
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was aimed to evaluate the microflora isolated from the intestines of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), freshwater catfish (Clarias batrachus), snakehead (Ophicephalus striatus), snakeskin gourami (Trichogaster pectoralis), climbing perch (Anabas testudineus), and river catfish (Pangasius pangasius) for their potential probiotic development. Isolates were initially screened for their inhibitory effect against one of the most common fish pathogens, Edwardsiella tarda. Positive antagonists were subsequently tested for hemolytic activity, antibiotic susceptibility, and production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLISs). Our results revealed 55 of the 405 isolates tested showed inhibitory effects towards the pathogen. Forty isolates were γ-hemolytic bacteria. Only 7 isolates were …
Reduction Of The Pectoral Spine And Girdle In Domesticated Channel Catfish Is Likely Caused By Changes In Selection Pressure, Michael L. Fine
Reduction Of The Pectoral Spine And Girdle In Domesticated Channel Catfish Is Likely Caused By Changes In Selection Pressure, Michael L. Fine
Biology Publications
Locked pectoral spines of the Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus more than double the fish's width and complicate ingestion by gape-limited predators. The spine mates with the pectoral girdle, a robust structure that anchors the spine. This study demonstrates that both spine and girdle exhibit negative allometric growth and that pectoral spines and girdles are lighter in domesticated than in wild Channel Catfish. This finding could be explained by changes in selection pressure for spine growth during domestication or by an epigenetic effect in which exposure to predators in wild fish stimulates pectoral growth. We tested the epigenetic hypothesis by exposing …
