Effect of Diet on the Enteric Microbiome of the Wood-Eating Catfish Panaque nigrolineatus
(Frontiers, 2019-11-29)Wood is consistently found in high levels in the gastrointestinal tract of the Amazonian catfish Panaque nigrolineatus, which, depending on environmental conditions, can switch between xylivorous and detritivorous dietary ... -
Effect of sulfide on growth of marine bacteria
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2014-03-09)Severe hypoxia leads to excess production of hydrogen sulfide in marine environments. In this study, we examined the effect of sulfide on growth of four facultative anaerobic marine bacteria in minimal media under anaerobic ... -
Effect of the Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus Nonvirion Protein on Translation via PERK-eIF2α Pathway
(MDPI, 2020-04-30)Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is one of the most deadly infectious fish pathogens, posing a serious threat to the aquaculture industry and freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Previous work showed that VHSV ... -
Effects of Infectious Diseases on Population Dynamics of Marine Organisms in Chesapeake Bay
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-24)Diseases are important drivers of population and ecosystem dynamics. This review synthesizes the effects of infectious diseases on the population dynamics of nine species of marine organisms in the Chesapeake Bay. Diseases ... -
Examination of a Culturable Microbial Population from the Gastrointestinal Tract of the Wood-Eating Loricariid Catfish Panaque nigrolineatus
(MDPI, 2013-08-19)Fish play a critical role in nutrient cycling and organic matter flow in aquatic environments. However, little is known about the microbial diversity within the gastrointestinal tracts that may be essential in these ... -
First data on aquaculture of the Tripletail, Lobotes surinamensis, a promising candidate species for U.S. marine aquaculture
(Wiley Online Library, 2021-05-18)The Tripletail, Lobotes surinamensis, is a warm-water pelagic fish that is increasingly targeted by U.S. anglers. The superior quality of Tripletail flesh coupled with the lack of domestic commercial fisheries stimulated ... -
First evaluation of resistance to both a California OsHV-1 variant and a French OsHV-1 microvariant in Pacific oysters
(BioMed Central, 2019-12-12)Background: Variants of the Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) cause high losses of Pacific oysters globally, including in Tomales Bay, California, USA. A suite of new variants, the OsHV-1 microvariants (μvars), cause very ... -
