BACKGROUND Shrimp and house dust mite (HDM) allergies are common in Canadians. Often, both of these allergies occur in the same patient. This may be due to homology of tropomyosin or other potentially shared proteins. The aim of our study was to assess the frequency of house dust mite sensitization in a shrimp allergic Canadian population. METHODS We undertook a retrospective chart review of ...

The sustainability and development of shrimp aquaculture are largely at stake as significant ecological and pathological problems are increasing in the vast majority of the shrimp producing countries. Prevention and control of diseases are now the priority for the durability of this industry. Within the past decade, intensification of the shrimp production, based on progress in zootechnology, h...

This article presents the nutritional value of shrimp on the strength of its nutrient composition and daily value (DV%). With its relatively lower lipid content (~ 1%), the DV (%) of 100 g shrimp for an adult human is 75%, 70% and 35% for eicosapentanoic acid + docosahexanoic acid, essential amino acids (methionine, tryptophan and lysine) and protein respectively. The lower atherogenic (0.36) a...

Shrimp farms are within the main aquaculture activities and In last 30 years, shrimp have expanded along Gulf of California. Because farm’s production is related to pond area extended location farms, we employed a multi-disciplinary approach study process annual farm expansion, in addition predicting short term. Our hypothesizes that semi-intensive dependent on which can be accurately quantifie...

The increasing demand by international customers for high-quality shrimp products has led to the introduction of various certificates traceability intended validate quality in Vietnam. Vietnamese good agricultural practices (VietGAP), better known aquaculture as practices, emerged a reliable certificate small-scale farmers and prerequisite certification. This study investigates factors affectin...

The reappearance of robust northern shrimp stocks, believed to be the result of strong 2003 and 2004 shrimp year-classes, has resulted in significant harvesting opportunities for the commercial fishing industry that could translate into increased economic benefits and stability for harvesters and processors. However, due to the prolonged period of intense management and reduced New England shri...

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...

The study estimates the growth rates of frozen food, shrimp and total export, and instability of export earnings. The study evaluates the export marketing of frozen food; shrimp and fish by using time series aggregated data from the year of 1972-73 to 2005-06. The growth rates of frozen food were 44%, 11%, and 10% during post-war period (197273 to 1982-83), pre-trade liberalization (1983-84 to ...

BACKGROUND Black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon is one of the common causes of shellfish allergy that is increasing worldwide. One of the important problems in the management of shellfish allergy is the lack of accurate diagnostic assay because the biological and immunological properties of allergens in black tiger shrimp have not been well characterized. This study aims to detect proteins with t...
