Comparative analysis of transcriptome responses to injected somatostatin 3 peptide in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is a popular farmed marine fish with high economic value, distributed widely in East Asia. Somatostatin (SST) is a hormone secreted by the hypothalamus to inhibit the growth of fish.

Can species richness be maintained in logged endemic Acacia Heterophylla forests (Reunion Island, Indian Ocean) ? [PDF]

, 2007
It is assumed that forests can serve multiple uses, including wood production and maintenance of high biodiversity level. We tested this hypothesis by studying eradication methods of invasive plants currently implemented in exploited endemic Acacia ...

Comparative miRNA-seq analysis revealed molecular mechanisms of red color formation in the early developmental stages of Plectropomus leopardus

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in several biological processes, including the regulation of body color.

Protocols for the development of indigenous species: polyculture of indigenous species under Malawian smallholder conditions*

Aquaculture Research, 1996
Shire tilapia, Oreochromis shiranus shiranus (Boulenger 1897), was grown in monoculture and polyculture with either straightfin barb, Barbus paludinosus (Peters 1852), or threespot barb, Barhus trimaculatus (Peters 1852), (collectively known as matemba) under conditions which simulated smallholder farming conditions in Southern Malawi. Over 150 days, B.

Effects of dietary hydrolyzable tannins on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, intestinal microflora and resistance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus of juvenile Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931)

Aquaculture Reports, 2021
Tannins have great potential as an alternative to in-feed antibiotics. However, no study has investigated the effects of tannins on shrimp. The present study assessed the eff ;ects of hydrolyzable tannins (HTs) fed at different inclusion levels (F0 ...

The conservation of New Zealand’s biological heritage and the role of environmental planners [PDF]

, 1998
Species diversity is an important aspect of ecosystem health, and a necessary condition for long-term sustainable development. However, it is widely recognised that species extinction is on the increase, as biological diversity comes under pressure from ...

Functions of thyroid hormone signaling in regulating melanophore, iridophore, erythrophore, and pigment pattern formation in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

BMC Genomics
Background Spotted scat, a marine aquaculture fish, has variable body color development stages during their ontogenesis. However, the regulatory mechanism of body color patterns formation was poorly understood.
