The eastern king prawn (Melicertus plebejus) is a valuable target species for commercial fisheries operating on the Australian east coast. The ayesian analysis presented here aims to determine the current state and productivity of the NSW component of the eastern king prawn stock nd analyse the possible consequences of altering commercial catches in the future. The Bayesian approach is well sui...

Bacteriocin has been used widely in industry as a Backgrounds biopreservative agent. The objective of the present study was to investigate the potency of Bacteriocin isolated from tiger prawn and Penaeus monodon freshwater shrimp as an anti-bacterial on fish. Macrobrachium rosenbergii : A total of ten candidates of probiotic bacteria consisted of five Methods isolates from tiger shrimps (H1, H2...

Climate reductive translations of migration attract international attention, but result in three problematic misreadings Bangladesh’s socioecological landscape. First, attributing to climate change misreads coastal vulnerabilities and the importance as a gendered livelihood strategy deal with rural precarity debt- both past present. Second, misreading caused by brackish tiger-prawn cultivation,...

The crustacean shells-derived polysaccharide chitosan has received much attention for its anti-obesity potential. Dietary supplementation of chitosan has been linked with reductions in feed intake, suggesting a potential link between chitosan and appetite control. Hence the objective of this experiment was to investigate the appetite suppressing potential of prawn shell derived chitosan in a pi...

Based on the nutrient requirement of blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus fingerlings as reported earlier, nine experimental diets with 350 g protein, 80-100 g lipid and 16-17 MJ digestible energy/kg diet were formulated using snail meat (D-1), freshwater fish processing waste (D-2), surimi by-product (D-3), chicken offal (D-4), earthworm (D-5), squid (D-6), mussel (T-7), chicken liver (T-8)...

For prawn trawling systems, drag reduction is a high priority as the trawling process is energy intensive. Large benefits have occurred through the use of multiple-net rigs and thin twine in the netting. An additional positive effect of these successful twine-area reduction strategies is the reduced amount of otter board area required to spread the trawl systems, which leads to further drag red...

BACKGROUND Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium which is found largely in estuarine and coastal waters. The bacteria has been a main focus in gastro-intestinal infections caused primarily due to the consumption of contaminated seafood. It was shown to survive in magnesium concentrations as high as 300 mM which are toxic to various other micro-organisms. Several genes ...

The potential of natural products to prevent obesity have been investigated, with evidence to suggest that chitosan has anti-obesity effects. The current experiment investigated the anti-obesity potential of prawn shell derived chitosan on a range of variables relevant to obesity in a pig model. The two dietary treatment groups included in this 63 day study were: T1) basal diet and T2) basal di...

BACKGROUND : Food allergy may be defined as an immunoglobulin E-mediated immune response to food proteins. Such studies have previously not been done in Calcutta, India. The present study was therefore undertaken to record the sensitivity to commonly consumed foods in patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma. MATERIALS AND METHODS : A survey of 800 patients (410 males and 390 females) repor...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether viable White Spot Syndrome virus (WSSV) or Yellowhead virus (YHV) were present in prawn products imported into Australia. PROCEDURE A sample of fourteen uncooked prawns was obtained from a consignment imported from southeast Asia. Each of the prawns was examined for WSSV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and then a bioassay was conducted in which a 10% homogen...
