ABSTRACT Nineteen Australasian populations of Drosophila melanogaster have been screened for chromosome inversion polymorphisms. All 15 the types found are paracentric and autosomal, but only four these, one on each major autosome arms, common cosmopolitan. North-south clines occur, with frequencies all cosmopolitan inversions increasing toward equator. These in Southern Hemisphere mirror north-south Northern Hemisphere, where again increase towards equator.—While few show significant...
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is the most damaging pathogen in terms of production and economic losses for shrimp sector world-wide. Estimation heritability WSSV resistance was made this study to obtain necessary parameter inputs broadening breeding objectives an ongoing selective programme Whiteleg (Liptopenaeus vannamei) that has focussed exclusively on improving growth performance since 2014. The present involved a disease challenge test experiment using total 15,000 shrimps from 150...
This article documents the addition of 396 microsatellite marker loci to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Anthocidaris crassispina, Aphis glycines, Argyrosomus regius, Astrocaryum sciophilum, Dasypus novemcinctus, Delomys sublineatus, Dermatemys mawii, Fundulus heteroclitus, Homalaspis plana, Jumellea rossii, Khaya senegalensis, Mugil cephalus, Neoceratitis cyanescens, Phalacrocorax aristotelis, Phytophthora infestans, Piper cordulatum,...
Banana shrimp Fenneropenaeus merguiensis has emerged as an important aquacultured species in South East Asia and Australia. However, the quantitative genetic basis of economically traits this are currently not available, while for body colour, cooked or uncooked, there no parameter estimates any indeed decapod crustacean. In study, we report banana parameters morphometric and, first time shrimp, colour. Ten highly polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from genomic sequences used...
Selective breeding for marine finfish is challenging due to difficulties in reproduction, larval rearing, and on-growth captive environments. The farming of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) has all these problems our knowledge the quantitative genetic information (heritability correlations) traits necessary commercial exploitation poor. present study was conducted address this gap provide that can be applied sea bass other aquaculture species. We carried out a comprehensive evaluation three...
ABSTRACT A molecular characterization of two Mycobacterium marinum genes, 16S rRNA and hsp65 , was carried out with a total 21 isolates from various species fish both marine freshwater environments Israel, Europe, the Far East. The nucleotide sequences genes revealed that all M . in Israel belonged to different strains, one infecting (cultured wild) other (cultured) fish. restriction enzyme map based on confirmed divergence Israeli differentiated foreign isolates, exception three Greek which...
Infection patterns of Mycobacterium marinum were studied over a period 3 yr in wild rabbitfish Siganus nivulatus populations associated with commercial mariculture cages and inhabiting various sites along the Israeli Red Sea coastline. Mycobacteriosis was first recorded from 1990 farmed sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax is absent records studies on parasites diseases carried out 1970s 1980s. A sharp increase prevalence disease cultured fish region has occurred since. total 1142 examined inside...
Genomic prediction using Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) genotype by sequencing platform has not been reported in yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi). The principal aim of this study was to address knowledge gap and assess predictive ability genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (gBLUP) for traits commercial importance a population comprising 752 individuals that had DNA sequence phenotypic records growth (body weight, fork length condition index). gBLUP method used due its...
Genomic selection has been widely used in terrestrial animals but had limited application aquaculture due to relatively high genotyping costs. information an important role improving the prediction accuracy of breeding values, especially for traits that are difficult or expensive measure. The purposes this study were (i) further evaluate use genomic improve accuracies values from, (ii) compare different methods (BayesA, BayesCπ and GBLUP) on our field data, (iii) investigate effects SNP...
Introduction Body colouration in animals can have a range of functions, with predator protection an important aspect colour crustaceans. Colour determination is associated the carotenoid astaxanthin, which taken up through diet and stabilised tissues by protein crustacyanin. As variety genes are found to play role formation other systems, holistic approach was employed this study determine factors involved Fenneropenaeus merguiensis colouration. Results Full length F. crustacyanin subunit A...
Aquaculture industries and research organizations usually fail to exploit genetics as a tool for enhancing productivity competitiveness. Yet, there is now some awareness among aquaculturists of the benefits from genetics. There remains little consensus about types genetic approaches that are most beneficial aquaculture industry. Discord arises because comprises many subdisciplines, each with advocates promoting one field or another best method develop commercially valuable strains. Here, I...
Routine procedures have been developed for the transformation of lucerne (Medicago sativa cv. Rangelander) with foreign genes using Agrobacterium tumefaciens binary vector system and regeneration transgenic plants from tissue culture, via somatic embryogenesis. Lucerne was carried out a gene encoding neomycin phosphotransferase (npt), which conferred resistance to antibiotic kanamycin, together cDNA clone chicken ovalbumin modified expression in plant cells. The protein coding sequence...
Abstract This study assessed whether selection for high growth in a challenging environment of medium salinity produces tilapia genotypes that perform well across different production environments. We estimated the genetic correlations between trait expressions saline and freshwater using strain Nile selected fast under water 15–20 ppt. also heritability new traits commercial importance (sexual maturity, feed conversion ratio, deformity gill condition) full pedigree comprising 36,145 fish....
