abstract

the acute toxicity of a malaysian crude oil to red snapper, lutjanus argentimaculatus, blacktiger shrimp and penaeus monodon were investigated. the animals were exposed to water solublefractions (wsf) of crude oil in a flow-through bioassay system and the toxicants were analyzed by gaschromatography (gc) and gas chromatography and mass spectrometer (gc-ms). the 96 h lc50 valuesof the wsf of crude oil for fish and shrimp were 3.24 ± 0.21 and 8.52 ± 0.89 ppm of wsf of crude oil,respectively. in this investigation, the fish were more sensitive to crude oil than the shrimp, with respectto the similarity in their habitations.

Penaeus monodon (tiger shrimp) hemocyanin: subunit composition and thermostability.

Penaeus monodon (class Crustacea, order Decapoda) is one of the largest shrimps of the Penaeidea family from the Indo-West Pacific region. The dioxygen-transporting protein hemocyanin, isolated from the hemolymph of this invertebrate, is composed of three 75-76 kDa structural/functional subunits designated as Pm1, Pm2 and Pm3. The N-terminal sequences of the chains were determined and compared ...

Specific allergy to Penaeus monodon (seawater shrimp) or Macrobrachium rosenbergii (freshwater shrimp) in shrimp-allergic children.

BACKGROUND Allergy to specific shrimp species has not been studied systematically by oral challenges. A comparison of allergy to different shrimp species, especially seawater or freshwater varieties treatment, would be useful in testing shrimp-allergic subjects. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to identify cases of specific allergy to seawater shrimp, Penaeus monodon (Pm), or freshwater shr...

Introducing tilapia (GIFT) with shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in brackisheater rice-shrimp system: impact on water quality and production

Mixed rearing of tilapia (GIFT; Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) with shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in brackishwater rice-shrimp system was assessed for its impact on dry season's shrimp production. The experiment was conducted in pre-selected farmer's field located at Paikgacha Upazila of Khulna district and designed with three different densities (treatment) of GIFT, viz, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5/m2 w...
