We report the construction of sex-specific linkage maps for the white shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei (Penaeidae; Crustacea). Linkage information was generated using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers in a mapping panel consisting of 42 individuals derived from a commercial cross. We used 103 primer combinations that produced 741 segregating bands. From them, 477 segreg...

Bir yıllık süreyi kapsayan bu çalışmada, Kuzey Doğu Akdeniz’de dip trol balıkçılığında avlanan karides türlerinin aylar, bölgeler, sahilden uzaklık ve derinliklere göre av kompozisyonu ile verimliliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma 200 km uzunluğundaki deniz alanında belirlenen beş farklı istasyonda 40 adet operasyonu gerçekleştirilmiş toplamda 153 saat 2 dakika aktif çekimi yapılmış...

Multiple small-scale transcriptome studies have been undertaken for various members of the Penaeidae. Penaeid shrimp are important both as members of diverse ecosystems around the world and for their importance as commercial commodities. Of the many shrimps, the most important from this family is the Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, as it is the primary shrimp used in worldwide aq...

Small-scale fisheries of lagoon-estuarine complexes (LECs) in Northwest Mexico were investigated using official landings data. Species groups found in landings were clustered into three categories according to their life cycle and habitat distribution: Lagoon-estuarine (LE), Transition zone (TZ) and Coastal (CO). Average landings were highest for LE (19,606 t yr), followed by TZ (7,234 t yr), a...
