Krill as a Taste Attractant - Case Study
Both fish and crustaceans live in an immersed aquatic environment, where their chemioperceptive system receives permanent stimulation by soluble compounds. These substances are usually of low molecular weight, non-volatile and most of them contain nitrogen (amino acids, nucleotides, etc.). These compounds stimulate the chemioperception of the animal (taste and smell), and its behavior (feeding ...

Affetcs of Yellow Head Virus (YHV)
Yellow Head Virus (YHV) Yellow Head Virus was the first major viral disease problem to affect Asian shrimp farms when it was diagnosed as causing extensive losses for shrimp farming. YHV and its close relatives GAV and LOVV are single stand RNA viruses, similar to TSV. The first records of this virus were from P. monodon ponds in Eastern Thailand, it had moved to Southern Thailand and was ...

Affects of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) in Shrimp Farming (Part 3)
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is now and has for some time been the most serious threat facing the shrimp farming industry in Asia. It is an extremely virulent pathogen with a large number of host species. This disease is probably the major cause of direct losses of shrimp farming in Asia. Similarly, in Latin America, losses due to WSSV have been substantial. In addition, indirect losses in ...

Bacterial disease of Shrimp
Rickettsial Infections This infection is not recorded yet from Indian waters, systemic rickettsial infections were reported from cultured P. monodon from Malaysia and Singapore. In P. monodon, the rickettsia occurred within large cytoplasmic vacuoles where it formed-microcolonies of 19 to 33 f.lm in diameter. In heavy infections, cells with rickettsial inclusions were widespread in mesodermally ...

Occurrence, removal and accumulation in sludge of protozoan cysts and helminth eggs in a full-scale anaerobic pond in Burkina Faso
The present paper investigates the occurrence, removal, and accumulation of protozoan cysts and helminth eggs in a large anaerobic pond treating municipal wastewater of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). With a hydraulic retention time of 6.5 days, the anaerobic pond achieved 100% removal of helminth eggs and protozoan cysts most of the time, except during the hot period. The average residual ...

Comparative Toxicokinetics of Cadmium in Artemia
Abstract The toxicokinetics of cadmium was determined for five populations belonging to four species of Artemia (A. salina, A. parthenogenetica, A. franciscana, and A. persimilis) using a bicompartmental model. The effects of sublethal cadmium concentration on the kinetic parameters in A. parthenogenetica were determined. The BCF values are inversely related to the concentration, as is the ...
