-
(2009)The northern scallop, Argopecten purpuratus, is a hermaphrodite species which has a great economic importance in Chile. Recently, hatchery techniques for juvenile production have been developed for this species, which ...
-
(Springer, 2020)Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the major fish species produced in Brazil, a country with a vast territory and great climate diversity. This study assessed the effects of the genotype x environment interaction on ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the main native fish farmed in South American continental aquaculture. One of the major pathogens affecting world fresh water aquaculture is the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila, which ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)From a physiological-behavioral perspective, it has been shown that fish with a higher density of black eumelanin spots are more dominant, less sensitive to stress, have higher feed intake, better feed efficiency and ...
-
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)Piscirickettsiosis caused by the intracellular bacterium Piscirickettsia salmonis and caligidosis produced by the ectoparasite Caligus rogercresseyi, are important diseases which generate great economic losses in salmonid ...
-
(Nature Publishing, 2015)Here we report a genome-wide association study for non-pathological pinna morphology in over 5,000 Latin Americans. We find genome-wide significant association at seven genomic regions affecting: lobe size and attachment, ...

(Elsevier, 2016)One of the major infectious diseases affecting coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) aquaculture is the Salmon Rickettsial Syndrome caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis. Conventional control measures such as antibiotics and ...
-
(2007)The ability of a genotype to respond to changes in the environment through modifications in the phenotype is adaptive when the plastic genotypes attain a higher fitness than non-plastic genotypes. In this study we examine ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the main native fish produced in continental aquaculture from South America. However, its production has been negatively affected by significant economic losses due to frequent outbreaks ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Background and Aims: Bioactive gibberellins are commonly applied to increase the size of berries in seedless tablegrapes. The genetic determinants for the response of berry size to gibberellic acid (GA3) were investigated ...
