Importance of estuarine mangroves to juvenile banana prawns
Offshore catches of banana prawns, Penaeus merguiensis, are correlated with the extent of mangrove forests. However, recent evaluation has questioned whether the apparent relationship between juvenile penaeids and mangroves reflects specific utilisation of mangroves or just the use of shallow, organically rich, muddy habitats. We investigated this by focussing on juvenile P. merguiensis within ...
متن کاملPrawn landings and their relationship with the extent of mangroves and shallow waters in western peninsular Malaysia
This study investigated changes in landings of all prawns, white prawns (mainly Penaeus merguiensis), mangrove extent, rainfall and the area of shallow water in western peninsular Malaysia. The most important state for both the landings of all prawns and white prawns was Perak where about 50% of all prawns and 35% of white prawns were landed. This is also the state with the largest, and most st...
متن کاملIsolation, characterisation and DNA analysis of Mycoplasma spp. from moribund prawns Penaeus monodon cultured in Australia
For the first time, a total of 14 Mycoplasma isolates were cultured from 24 moribund prawns investigated during an outbreak of mid-crop mortality syndrome in northern Queensland, Australia. Mycoplasma were isolated from the gill appendages, brains and eyes of the prawns. Mycoplasma growth occurred between 20 and 37°C with or without CO2 in modified Frey's medium containing 0.5 to 3.0% sodium ch...
متن کاملAnaphylactic shock to oysters and white fish with generalized urticaria to prawns and white fish.
Because seafood consumption is moderate-to-high in Spain, allergic reactions to seafood such as fish, crustacea and mollusc are fairly frequent. The clinical features of these reactions depend on the implicated species and whether the reaction is provoked by ingestion, handling or vapor inhalation. Because different species have common antigenic structures, cross-sensitization is frequent, espe...
متن کاملDetection of White Spot Syndrome virus and Yellowhead virus in prawns imported into Australia.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether viable White Spot Syndrome virus (WSSV) or Yellowhead virus (YHV) were present in prawn products imported into Australia. PROCEDURE A sample of fourteen uncooked prawns was obtained from a consignment imported from southeast Asia. Each of the prawns was examined for WSSV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and then a bioassay was conducted in which a 10% homogen...
