Aquaculture systems may release large amounts of nutrients into the marine ecosystem that can lead to eutrophication. Many seaweed species are efficient in reducing the nutrient concentration in aquaculture waste. In this study, the agarophyte Gelidium elegans originating from Korea was investigated for bioremediation of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) broodstock effluent (SBE) in a shrimp hatch...

in order to optimization of protein hydrolysis condition (including enzyme to substrate ratio (e/s), temperature and time) for achieving the highest antioxidant activity, the green tiger prawn (p. semisulcatus) mince was tested via commercial protease (alcalase® 2.4l) based on the response surface designed method in 18 treatments and then dried to obtain powder in freeze dryer. the antioxidant ...

The effects of chitosan (2%) coating combined with green tea extract (GTE) (1%) on the quality of tiger-tooth croaker (Otolithes ruber) fillets including chemical, microbiological, texture, color and sensory properties during 16 days of refrigerated storage was investigated. The color changes were significantly retared, and the texture parameteres and sensory scores were significantly improved ...

 Two-hundred and sixty five green tiger shrimp juveniles (Penaeus semisulcatus) with the average weight of 7-12g were collected from Helleh farms in Bushehr province and transported to Iran Shrimp Research Center of Bushehr in October, 2009. The juveniles were acclimated for two weeks. The experiment was designed in three treatments (named 3, 4 and 5) and two controls (named 1 and 2) in triplic...

abstract this research was conducted to study the effects of different light colors on growth indices (growth rate and specific growth rate), feed conversion and survival rate in tiger barb (barbus tetazone) fish for 6 weeks. 120 fish with an average weight 75 ±0.02 were respectively divided in four groups of white, natural, green and blue colors (with three replicates for each treatment). fish...

Yellow-head virus (YHV), a highly virulent virus of cultured penaeid shrimp, was originally isolated from the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon in Thailand. It was initially described as a baculovirus, but was recently reported to be a n RNA-containing virus. The present study reaffirms the genome of highly purified YHV to be an unsegmented single-stranded RNA with negative polarity and of app...

The Black Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) has a natural distribution range from East Africa to the South Pacific Islands. Although previous studies of Indo-Pacific P. monodon have found populations from the Indian Ocean and Australasia to differ genetically, their relatedness to South Pacific shrimp remains unknown. To address this, polymorphisms at eight shared microsatellite loci and haplotype...

The total haemocyte count (THC), differential haemocyte count (DHC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory bursts (release of superoxide anion), superoxide dismutase activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to the pathogen Photobacterium damsela were measured when tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (13.5+/-1.5 g) were individually injected with saline or dopamine at 10(-8), 10(-7), or 10(...
