EST projects in aquaculture: sea bass, red tuna and perch

Antimicrobial Resistance and Potential Probiotic Application of Enterococcus spp. in Sea Bass and Sea Bream Aquaculture

Ecosystem effects of bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus thynnus aquaculture in the NW Mediterranean Sea

In recent decades the eastern stock of Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus thynnus has declined, driven by excessive catches partially mediated by the growth of the capturebased aquaculture of bluefin in the Mediterranean. This study addresses the potential direct and indirect food-web effects on trophic linkages in the ecosystem through the removal of both small pelagic fish species and wild...

Capture-based aquaculture of bluefin tuna

New Pacific Bigeye Tuna Projects

In October 1998, the Pelagic Fisheries Research Program solicited new projects to be implemented in 1999. Approximately 25 letters of intent to submit proposal were received. The authors of the most promising letters were invited to submit full research proposals. External scientists reviewed the proposals, and approximately 15 were considered worthy of support. Financial constraints did not pe...

Analysis of slipped sequences in EST projects.

Slippage is an important sequencing problem that can occur in EST projects. However, very few studies have addressed this. We propose three new methods to detect slippage artifacts: arithmetic mean method, geometric mean method, and echo coverage method. Each method is simple and has two different strategies for processing sequences: suffix and subsequence. Using the 291,689 EST sequences produ...
