Effects of dietary l-tryptophan on the agonistic behavior, growth and survival of juvenile mud crab Scylla serrata
(Elsevier, 2010)
The reduction of the survival of mud crab during culture has been largely attributed to aggressive encounters and cannibalism. In some crustaceans, suppressed aggression is linked to increased concentration of circulating ...
The morphology and life cycle of the gill monogenean (Pseudorhabdosynochus lantauensis) on orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) cultured in the Philippines
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2010)
The morphology of Pseudorhabdosynochus lantauensis is described. It is the most numerous parasite recovered from the gills of cultured orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides in the Philippines and is smaller compared ...
Growth comparison of Asian Nile and red tilapia strains in controlled and uncontrolled farm conditions

Protective immunity against viral nervous necrosis (VNN) in brown-marbled grouper (Epinephelus fuscogutattus) following vaccination with inactivated betanodavirus
(Academic Press, 2010)
Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) caused by betanodaviruses has been recently implicated in serious mortalities of groupers in the grow-out culture system. A safe and effective vaccine against this disease is urgently needed. ...
