| field investigation on the toxicity of alaska north slope crude oil (ansc) and dispersed ansc crude to gulf killifish, eastern oyster and white shrimp. | a field investigation was conducted on a louisiana spartina alterniflora shoreline to evaluate the toxic effects of crude oil (alaska north slope crude oil, ansc) and dispersed oil (ansc + dispersant corexit 9,500) on three aquatic species indigenous to the gulf of mexico: fundulus grandis (gulf killifish), crassostrea virginica (eastern oyster), and litopenaeus setiferus (white shrimp). results indicated that total hydrocarbons concentration value in oiled treatments decreased rapidly in 3h and ... | 2006 | 16098561 |
| population genetic analysis of white shrimp, litopenaeus setiferus, using microsatellite genetic markers. | the white shrimp (litopenaeus setiferus) is a commercially and recreationally valuable species, yet little is known of its population structure or genetic diversity. white shrimp are distributed along the atlantic coast of the united states and from the west coast of florida to the bay of campeche, mexico. in this study, shrimp were collected from north carolina, south carolina (four separate collections were taken from 1995 to 1999), georgia, the atlantic and gulf coasts of florida, louisiana, ... | 2003 | 12919471 |
| morphology and phylogeny of agmasoma penaei (microsporidia) from the type host, litopenaeus setiferus, and the type locality, louisiana, usa. | since june 2012, samples of wild caught white shrimp, litopenaeus setiferus, from the gulf of mexico, plaquemines and jefferson parishes (louisiana, usa) with clinical signs of microsporidiosis have been delivered to the louisiana aquatic diagnostic laboratory for identification. infection was limited predominantly to female gonads and was caused by a microsporidium producing roundish pansporoblasts with eight spores (3.6×2.1 μm) and an anisofilar (2-3+4-6) polar filament. these features allowed ... | 2015 | 25449947 |
