Comparison Of Hybrid Grass Carp And Grass Carp, Janine L. Callahan
Comparison Of Hybrid Grass Carp And Grass Carp, Janine L. Callahan
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The hybrid grass carp, a cross between the male bighead carp (Hypothalmichthys nobilis) and the female grass carp (Ctenopharyngodonidella), was first produced in the United States in 1979 for biocontrol purposes. Unlike the fish produced in 1979 and 1980, the hybrid grass carp spawned in 1981 were assumed to be uniform, triploid, and to have growth and feeding rates comparable to those of grass carp. A comparison study to determine differences in the morphology of the 1979, 1980, and 1981 hybrid grass carp revealed that the hybrid grass carp spawned in 1981 have a longer relative gut length, fewer deformities …
Aspects Of The Biology Of Aeromonas Hydrophilia With Respect To The Striped Mullet, Mugil Cephalus L. In The St. Johns River, Gerald E. Fensch
Aspects Of The Biology Of Aeromonas Hydrophilia With Respect To The Striped Mullet, Mugil Cephalus L. In The St. Johns River, Gerald E. Fensch
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The aspects of the biology of Aeromonas hydrophila with respect to a striped mullet (Mugil cephalus L.0 nursery were examined. A. hydrophila density in the natural water was found to be strongly correlated with turbidity and weakly correlated with water temperature. No correlations were found between A. hydrophila density and water depth, dissolved oxygen, pH, total alkalinity, specific conductivity, or phytoplankton chlorophyll concentration. A. hydrophila density/g dry weight of stomach content were found to be correlated with chlorophyll concentration/g dry weight stomach content. The survivability of striped mullet after capture was found to be primarily related to stress. Stressed striped …
