Abstract The myostatin (MSTN) gene is important because of its role in regulation skeletal muscle growth all vertebrates. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was utilized to successfully target the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus , suppressor MSTN. induced high rates (88–100%) mutagenesis protein-encoding sites MSTN-edited fry had more cells ( p < 0.001) than controls, and mean body weight gene-edited increased by 29.7%. nucleic acid alignment mutated sequences against wild-type sequence...
Microorganisms in processing environments significantly impact the quality and safety of food products can serve as potential reservoirs for antibiotic-resistant genes, contributing to public health concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Fish plants represent an understudied environment microbiome mapping. This study investigated microbial composition, prevalence Listeria spp., resistome structures three catfish facilities southeastern United States. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing...
There is considerable interest in the culture of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) inland low-salinity water Alabama and other states Sunbelt region US. However, growing season truncated as compared with tropical or subtropical areas where this species typically cultured, temperature thought to be a major factor influencing production This study, conducted at Greene Prairie Aquafarm located west-central Alabama, considered patterns on farm different ponds years; sought possible effects...
Fish-borne zoonotic trematodes (FBZT) are extremely important zoonotically and can infect humans via the consumption of poorly cooked fish containing active metacercariae. In this context, present study aimed to update epidemiological information FBZT among Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) collected from Giza Fayoum Governorates. Concerning molecular characterization phylogenetic analysis adult flukes experimentally infected pigeons histopathological alterations both larval trematode...
Hospitals are hotspots for antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), and play a significant role in their emergence spread. Large numbers of ARGs will be ejected from hospitals via wastewater systems. Wastewater-based epidemiology has been consolidated as tool to provide real-time information, represents promising approach understanding the prevalence bacteria at community level.To determine bacterial diversity identify ARG profiles hospital pathogens obtained coronavirus disease 2019...
Water temperature and water loss by evaporation were monitored in control ponds with different rates of aeration (9.2, 18.4, 27.6 36.9 kW/ha). The mean decrease at 70-cm depth was greater than that the surface aerated ponds. rate, cooler water, both 70 cm. Evaporation found to increase rate. increased 32%–92% over 24-hr periods one four 0.37-kW Air-O-Lator aerators, respectively. nutrient-enriched pond more turbid, had deep temperature, without nutrient addition less turbid water. But, did...
The aquaculture industry will be crucial in helping the world’s food supply and keep up with demand. Aquaculture, like agriculture, must expand develop sustainably all countries to rising demand for food. To this end, has forged new scientific technological frontiers pursuit of long‐term security. Among these is organic aquaculture, whose distinctive protocol great potential advance aquaculture. Organic being explored multiple reasons, encompassing aim minimize environmental footprints,...
Abstract As unionid mussels continue to decline in North America much remains unknown regarding their primary food resources and feeding relationships. Our objective was investigate spatial, temporal, intra‐ interspecific variation resource use. In this study, we quantified stable C (δ 13 C) N 15 N) isotopic signatures for five mussel species potential across four catchments three seasons central Texas, U.S.A. Across all sites, Bayesian mixing models suggest derived from coarse particulate...
BackgroundHelicobacter pylori causes the most common human gastric infection. H. Stool Antigen Lateral Flow Immunochromatography assay (HpSA-LFIA) is considered one of cost-effective and rapid non-invasive assays (active tests). Evaluating HpSA-LFIA crucial for ensuring accuracy utility assurance. This study aimed to evaluate polyclonal antibody-based in comparison a monoclonal ELISA kit.MethodologyStool samples were collected from 200 patients semiquantitative HpSA-ELISA tests. A...
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays a critical role in homeostasis and the regulation of body weight. Polymorphisms mc4r gene have been discovered linked to growth, carcass composition, meat quality traits. Therefore, we used CRISPR-Cas9 system target most important freshwater aquaculture species USA, channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Guide RNAs were designed direct Cas9 coding sequence catfish gene. gRNA(s)-Cas9 mixtures delivered into one-cell embryos using electroporation...
Abstract Background Clinostomiasis (yellow grub disease) is a disease of freshwater fish caused by the encysted metacercariae (EMC) Clinostomum spp. showing retarded growth, unusual host behavior, and even death in fishes. Thus, purpose this study was to conduct an assessment two selected plant extract: V. alternifolia M. piperita oil extracts on tegument surface C. phalacrocoracis (MC) from T.zillii as utilisation biodegradable, eco-friendly environmental remediation avoid utilization...
Abstract Water‐analysis kits are useful for practical aquaculture only if they provide equivalent decision‐making as compared to standard water‐analysis methods. This study used weighted Cohen's kappa (κ) statistics compare management decisions made by farmers who (e.g., Seneye slide kit, Tetra EasyStrips, API test strips, Seachem Ammonia Alert, Salifert Profi and Hach dissolved oxygen ( DO ) alkalinity kit) those The were similar methods, except when measuring nitrate concentrations....
Abstract African catfish farmers used animal waste as feed to reduce production costs, a practice that raised concerns among consumers, causing them avoid it. Consequently, this study aimed explore factors influenced the acceptance of farmed catfish. The data survey involving 2294 participants from Egypt was analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. results indicated 67% abstained consuming it, while 2.30% consumed it regularly. test revealed significant consumption pattern...
Abstract The resistance of Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus , hybrid catfish (female × male Blue I. furcatus [ CB hybrids]), and expressing the introduced cecropin B gene to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infestation was investigated in two experiments. In experiment I, four fingerling groups were challenged, including cecropin‐transgenic Catfish, hybrids, non‐transgenic hybrids. Non‐transgenic survived for a shorter time than other three groups. Survival rate significantly different...
