Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from oil were present in some shrimp from Port Valdez, site of a ballast water treatment facility at the Alyeska Alaska Marine Terminal (AMT). Low-level petrogenic PAH concentrations were generally restricted to shrimp eggs in the vicinity of the AMT and extended along the southern shore of Port Valdez to Anderson Bay. Eggs had greater lipid content than...

Crustaceans are known for their trace element bioaccumulation abilities. Muscle tissues of lagoon crab, marine pink shrimp and mantis marketed consumption in Nigeria were analyzed Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Hg Cr levels using standard methods. mg kg-1 Mn (0.03±0.00 crab), Fe (0.072±0.01 shrimp), Cu (0.344±0.01 crab) Zn (0.073±0.00 shrimp) significantly different (p<0.05) from corresponding values other...

Pink shrimp (Metapenaeus affinis) or Jinga is one of the species caught in waters off Samboja Kuala. This catch a valuable commodity market. The possibility exploiting resources will be jeopardized an effort to conserve, utilize, and high intensity shrimp. study was conducted from September December 2022 with aim determining population dynamics parameters using frequency method carapace length ...

The pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus duorarum may acquire pollutants, helminths and symbionts from their environment. Statistical associations were studied between the symbionts and helminths of F. duorarum and pollutants in sediments, water and shrimps in Campeche Sound, Mexico. The study area spatially overlapped between offshore oil platforms and natural shrimp mating grounds. Spatial autocorrela...

Considerable by-catch problems have occurred in the commercial beam trawl fishery targeted at deep water pink shrimp Sea of Marmara. In this study, grid systems were used to reduce untargeted catch and improve species' selectivity. By-catch reduction ratios trawls deployed with without compared by parallel hauling method. Selectivity values 20 mm bar spacing 24 mesh size cod-end also analyzed S...
