Journal ArticleDOI
The Epidemiology of Bacterial Diseases in Food-Size Channel Catfish
TL;DR: Three possible risk factors associated with ESC/columnaris are identified, namely, operation size, stocking density, and feeding rate, which generate hypotheses about managerial and environmental interactions that represent substantial risks to production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlesions, misdiagnoses, missed diagnoses, and other interpretive challenges in fish histopathology studies: a guide for investigators, authors, reviewers, and readers.

TL;DR: A number of specific morphologic findings in commonly examined fish tissues (e.g., gills, liver, kidney, and gonads) that are frequently either misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed are illustrated to address related issues involving the interpretation of histopathologic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient assembly and annotation of the transcriptome of catfish by RNA-Seq analysis of a doubled haploid homozygote

TL;DR: The large set of transcripts assembled in this study is the most comprehensive set of genome resources ever developed from catfish, which will provide the much needed resources for functional genome research inCatfish, serving as a reference transcriptome for genome annotation, analysis of gene duplication, gene family structures, and digital gene expression analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dried algae Schizochytrium sp., a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid, on growth, fatty acid composition, and sensory quality of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus
TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of supplementation of dried algae Schizochytrium sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implication of lateral genetic transfer in the emergence of Aeromonas hydrophila isolates of epidemic outbreaks in channel catfish.

TL;DR: This study reveals new insights into the evolutionary changes that have resulted in the emergence of recent epidemic A. hydrophila strains and finds two pilus biogenesis gene clusters encoded within predicted pathogenicity islands.
