Background and Purpose: Due to environmental and economic concerns, Bled fish-farm is interested in establishing broodstocks of native brown trout (Salmo trutta L.). Progeny would be reared and released into rivers managed by the Fishing Club Bled. In this study was performed genetic characterization of broodstock from Bled fish-farm in order to assess hybridization of native brown trout of Dan...

Sex-related genes expressed in vitellogenic ovaries of the giant tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, were identified by an EST approach. A total of 1051 clones were unidirectionally sequenced from the 5 terminus. Nucleotide sequences of 743 EST (70.7%) significantly matched known genes previously deposited in the GenBank (E-value <10(-4)) whereas 308 ESTs (29.3%) were regarded as newly unidentified ...

Penaeus vannamei is an exotic shrimp species that has gained high culture momentum, since its introduction to India [1]. Currently, the culture of the species in the Country is being done by the shrimp farmers by importation of Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) vannamei broodstock from approved suppliers, which are located overseas. The value of one brooder normally ranges from 50 to 61 US $, exclud...

The aim of this study was to develop a pilot plant for the production of M. barbatus seed through artificial reproduction technology for possible use in aquaculture and repopulation of nursery areas. The study involved various phases: setup of the pilot plant, sourcing of M. barbatus specimens and their transplantation to an offshore long-line farm; production of live food (phytoplankton); sele...

We used genetic parentage analysis of 6200 potential parents and 5497 juvenile offspring to evaluate the relative reproductive success of hatchery and natural steelhead (Onchorhynchus mykiss) when spawning in the wild between 2008 and 2011 in the Wenatchee River, Washington. Hatchery fish originating from two prior generation hatchery parents had <20% of the reproductive success of natural orig...

Wild wrasses are used for delousing of farmed salmon but increasing demands have prompted the salmon industry to develop cultures of Ballan wrasse. One of the bottlenecks has been nutrition and feed intake in the juvenile phase, while broodstock nutrition is considered critical for production of viable offspring. The present study was aimed at developing functioning ongrowing and broodstock die...

interaction effect of three level of male age broodstock and three type of diluents (distilled water and diluents 1 and 2) for duration of motility and eyed egg rate in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) have been studied. there was no significant difference in activation of sperm by control group (distilled water) in different male ages (p?0.05). diluents 1, in 3+ year male broodstock has sho...

Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and white bass (Morone chrysops) are the parental species of the hybrid striped bass, a major U.S. aquaculture species. Currently, genomic resources for striped bass, white bass, and their hybrid lag behind those of other aquaculture species. Current resources consist of a medium-density genetic linkage map and a well-annotated ovarian transcriptome. A well-annot...

This review briefly highlights previous studies on the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its approaches to improving fish reproduction in aquaculture industry. Reproductive system dysfunction of captive is main problem that has be treated depending compatibility species. caused by non-synchronized maturation female male broodstock, low quality broodstock. As shown studies, induced breed...
