Shrimp metabolism: The roles of lactate dehydrogenase (c31), glycogen phosphorylase (c34) and protein kinase (PK) as revealed by RNA interference
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Energy metabolism is well-studied in vertebrate systems, providing insights on the genes and mechanisms involved in different pathways necessary for the survival of an organism. Yet, such studies are still lacking in ...
First record of Laem-Singh virus in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in the Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Laem-Singh Virus (LSNV), a single-stranded RNA virus that causes growth retardation in Penaeus monodon, is also known as Monodon Slow-Growth Syndrome (MSGS) virus. Black Tiger shrimps afflicted with this virus exhibit ...
Growth performance of brackishwater enhanced selected tilapia (BEST) reared in brackishwater ponds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
