In Benin, the tarsonemid mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) (Prostigmata: Tarsonemidae) is a key pest of gboma eggplant Solanum macrocarpon (L.) (Solanales: Solanaceae), a leafy vegetable on which it causes considerable damage to the plants and substantial reduction in yield. Predatory mites in the family Phytoseiidae have been successfully used in the biological control of numerous agricul...

Abstract In the present study, effects of dietary supplementation low molecular weight sodium alginate on growth, body composition, antioxidant enzymes, digestive and immune response in yellowfin sea bream juvenile ( Acanthopagrus latus ) were investigated. Fish (n=180) divided into 3 groups with replicates received treatments including basal diet without (control treatment), containing 5 g per...

Monthly fish samples were collected from one location at Shatt Al- Basrah Canal July 2008 to June 2009, using coastal seine net of dimensions 80 m length and 8 height with a mesh size 10×10 mm. Water temperature, salinity water transparency measured. Fishes identified in the laboratory total lengths weights Catch per unit effort was estimated for 22 species during sampling period. The biotic fa...

Yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus , is one of the most important species in terms stock enhancement China. However, using metagenomic techniques to explore feeding habits and stomach microbiome yellowfin seabream still rare. The objective this work was study sea bream from Daya Bay through analysis different weight classes (?50, 50–100, >100 g). Whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing ...

Field survey of Aquaculture farms in Basrah governorate was done during 2007. The study showed that there are 80 fish farm with total area 773.5 donum, while it 16 2003. 75 % the were less than 25000 m² (10 donum). 53.9 excavated pond, 34.2% concentration by half ground pools and 11.8 dyke pond. About 87.5 using pump 12.5 used tidal current for water supply. This 95 fishes source from Marine Sc...

Yellowfin seabream is an important economic fish that widely distributed in the East and South China seas. Many attempts to enhance stocks of yellowfin have occurred China, but a lack genetic information for this species after stock release represents obstacle its management conservation. To provide scientific guidance sustainable germplasm resource development, we sequence mitochondrial DNA (m...

nonylphenol (np) is a well-known compound as having the potential to mimic the natural hormone 17β-estradiol (e2) and disrupt the endocrine system in a wide range of organisms. however, the ability of different isomers of this compound is different in exerting estrogenic effects. the objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of a straight side-chain np isomer (4-n-np) on the vitello...
