| 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 |
| sampling and evaluation of white spot syndrome virus in commercially important atlantic penaeid shrimp stocks. | in 1997, white spot syndrome virus (wssv) was discovered in shrimp culture facilities in south carolina, usa. this disease was known to cause devastating mortalities in cultured populations in southeast asia and prompted concern for the health of wild populations in the usa. our study surveyed wild shrimp populations for the presence of wssv by utilizing molecular diagnostics and bioassay techniques. a total of 1150 individuals (586 litopenaeus setiferus, 477 farfantepenaeus aztecus and 87 f. do ... | 2004 | 15264713 |
| wood preservative leachates from docks in an estuarine environment. | environmental concentrations and biological effects of certain metals and organic compounds found in wood preservatives were examined. the study focused on leachates from private residential docks in south carolina tidal creeks. copper, chromium, arsenic, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) were measured in composite samples of surficial sediments and naturally occurring oyster populations (crassostrea virginica) from creeks with high densities of docks, and from nearby reference creeks ... | 1996 | 8687987 |
