Product labelling with eco-certifications is market-based incentive tool for sustainable aquaculture, thus mitigating negative environmental impacts. The aims of this study are to investigate: i) whether consumers prefer eco-labelled (eco-certified) shrimps over conventional (non-certified) shrimp; and ii) specific eco-label (eco-certification logo) others. used a discrete choice experiment met...

Background Seafood is one of the most important causes of anaphylaxis worldwide and considered to be closely associated with house dust mite allergy due to cross-reactivity of mite trypomyosin (Der p 10) with the tropomyosins from shrimps and molluscs. We assessed the prevalence of sensitization to tropomyosin and other shrimp allergens in seafood-allergic subjects from Central Europe and explo...

Speckled shrimp (Metapenaeus monoceros), is a commercially important prawn in the embayments and estuaries of the Mediterranean Sea. It is originally a Lessepsian species which had migrated from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal. This study was carried out in the North-eastern Mediterranean Sea between November 2009 and October 2010 with monthly sampling of speckled ...

The size selectivity and usability of three codends were quantified compared for the first time in inshore Northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery Iceland using covered codend method: a conventional diamond-mesh (T0), square-mesh (T45), 90° turned mesh (T90) constructed four panels with shortened lastridge ropes. Fishers, wanting to increase average-individual captured shrimp, had req...

Methods The research was carried out in 86 patients treated in the Outpatients Clinic of Allergic Diseases. Every patient was interviewed for allergy history and family history of diseases. Every patient had: 1. Prick by prick (PbP) for seafood allergens (squid Illex argentinus and “Black tiger” shrimps Penaeus monodon, octopus Octopus vulgaris, moules Mytilus edulis ). 2. Skin prick test (SPT)...

Abstract The invasion of non-native species into an ecosystem can markedly alter the structure and functioning system. Yet, we have limited knowledge factors that determine success. Behavioural interactions been suggested as critical determinants success in animals, but exact mechanisms are less well known. We investigated if density-dependent behavioural could facilitated shrimp Palaemon elega...

The shrimp sector is the second largest export earner for Bangladesh, which is a major contributor in the national economy of Bangladesh. It also provides millions of employment. Every year a huge amount of shrimps are rejected to export due to its pathogenic bacterial contamination. A comparative study regarding prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria in the black ti...

The growth, mortality and migration pattern of the population of Litopenaeus vannamei Boone 1931 in the Carretas-Pereyra coastal lagoon system, Mexico, were studied. The shrimp spatial distribution and abundance were analyzed in relation to salinity, water temperature, and substrate. A total of 2669 shrimps was collected at 22 sites sampled monthly from March 2004 to August 2005. Juvenile shrim...
