this study was conducted for estimation of bycatch shrimp trawl from fishing grounds of hormozganprovince.sampling operation was carried by commercial trawler around hormoz and qeshm islandduring fishing season in october and november 2012. towing duration was between 1 to 3.5h(2±0.08h). contribution of bycatch and target species was 86.26% (18918.80 kg) and 13.74%(3014.22kg) respectively. by-c...

This paper is a comprehensive study of the shrimp trawl by- catch from Bushehr coastal waters (N. Persian Gulf). Sampling operation was carried out in two shrimp fishing seasons using the (Saber and Jahanara) commercial trawlers Generally, 87.5% of the total catch was by-catch and 12.5% was target species (shrimp). The catch composition included: 114 species from 45 teleostei families, 13 speci...

Objective The West Coast Groundfish Observer Program (WCGOP) collects at-sea data from limited trawl and fixed gear fleet as well as from open access nearshore, prawn, and shrimp fleets. This information is vital for determining the amount of discard and total catch of groundfish species in this region. This report summarizes discard data collected by the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program ...

This study estimated the length-weight relationship, sex ratio and population parameters of mantis shrimp, Harpiosquilla harpax from the coastal waters of Pantai Remis, Perak, Malaysia between February 2012 and October 2012. Total length and weight of 804 specimens of H. harpax were measured and the sex ratio was 1: 0.83 (M: F). Males of H. harpax were dominant over the females throughout the s...

Several shrimp species from the clade Penaeidae are farmed industrially for human consumption, and this farming has turned shrimp into the largest seafood commodity in the world. The species that are in demand for farming are an anomaly within their clade because they grow to much larger sizes than other members of Penaeidae. Here we trace the evolutionary history of the anomalous farmed shrimp...

The aim of the present study was to determine various types of hemocytes, total and differential hemocyte count and to show some indices of phagocytosis, including percent phagocytosis and phagocytic index in Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus in Iranian shrimp farms. The hemolymph was extracted from the shrimps and mixed with anticoagulant. It then stained and Yeast was added as forei...
