Use of Acadian marine plant extract powder from Ascophyllum nodosum in tissue culture of Kappaphycus varieties
(Springer Verlag, 2009)
Three varieties of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Kapilaran, KAP), Tambalang purple (PUR), Adik-adik (AA), and one variety of Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol (green sacol (GS) were used to determine the efficiency of Acadian marine ...
Effects of physico-chemical factors and nutrients on the growth of Spirulina platensis isolated from Lake Kojima, Japan
(The Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, 1991)
The effects of physico-chemical factors and nutrients on the growth responses of Spirulina platensis isolated from Lake Kojima (K-2 strain) were determined. The optimum conditions for growth were the following: ligh intensity ...
Growth, survival and feed conversion of Nile tilapia fingerlings fed diets containing Bayo-n-ox, a commercial growth promoter
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1991)
A feeding experiment was conducted to determine the effect of a commercial growth promoter, Bayo-n-ox, on Nile tilapia fingerlings (mean initial weight 3.6 g). After 6 weeks, the weight gain of fish given 25 mg Bayo-n-ox/kg ...
Differential expression of insulin-like growth factor I and II mRNAs during embryogenesis and early larval development in rabbitfish, Siganus guttatus
(Academic Press, 2002)
In rodents, the expression of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is higher than that of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) during fetal life while the reverse is true after birth. We wanted to examine whether this ...
Thyroid hormone surges during milkfish metamorphosis
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1994)
Both thyroxine (T<sub>4</sub>) and triiodothyronine (T<sub>3</sub>) were detected in fertilized eggs and larvae of milkfish. The concentration of T<sub>4</sub> was lower than that of T<sub>3</sub> only in fertilized eggs ...
Semi-mass culture of the dinoflagellate Gymnodinium splendens as a live food source for the initial feeding of marine finfish larvae
(Springer Verlag, 1997)
A technique was developed for the semi-mass culture of the unarmored dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium splendens under laboratory conditions. A maximum cell density of 4600 to 6800 cells ml<sup>−1</sup> was observed within 8 to ...
Effect of growth hormone and γ-aminobutyric acid on Brachionus plicatilis (Rotifera) reproduction at low food or high ammonia levels
(Elsevier, 1999)
Growth hormone (GH, 0.0025 and 0.025 I.U. ml<sup>−1</sup>) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA, 50 μg ml<sup>−1</sup>) enhance rotifer population growth in batch cultures. In order to further understand the mechanism of their ...
Isolation, cDNA cloning, and growth promoting activity of rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) growth hormone
(Elsevier, 2000)
We report the isolation, cDNA cloning, and growth promoting activity of rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus; Teleostei; Perciformes; Siganidae) growth hormone (GH). Rabbitfish GH was extracted from pituitary glands under alkaline ...
Milkfish (Chanos chanos) growth hormone cDNA cloning and mRNA expression in embryos and early larval stages.
(Elsevier, 2002)
In an attempt to understand growth regulation in milkfish, the milkfish growth hormone (GH) and its cDNA were characterized and the expression of GH mRNA in embryos and larvae was examined by RT-PCR. The milkfish GH was ...
Growth regulation by insulin-like growth factor-I in fish
(Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry, 2000)
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a mitogenic polypeptide that plays an essential role in the regulation of development and somatic growth of vertebrates, mainly by mediating growth hormone actions. It has clearly ...
