The Crustacean Animal: Potamon magnum
Abstract: In the present study, the most recent visceral crustacean Potamon magnum was studied. It is a genus of freshwater or semi-earth crabs found mainly through the Middle East from Southern Europe, as far east as north-west Egypt. The mere exception is the North African P. algeriense, which is also continental Africa's only potamid. There are currently 20 species identified. Such crabs are omnivores with high environmental tolerance. Throughout their 10–12 …

Isolation, Identification and Molecular Cloning of Chitinase Gene in Bacteria Isolated from Crustacean Wastes
Abstract: This research envisaged cloning of genes encoding chitinases in bacteria isolated from crustacean wastes and its transformation in E.coli by TOPO cloning method for complete sequencing of partial gene. Chitin and chitinolytic enzymes are gaining importance for their biotechnological applications. Particularly, chitinases are used in both agricultural, industrial applications and also in human health care. The chitinases are present in chitin-containing microorganisms, bacteria and plants with a diversity of roles, …

First record of isolation of hemolymph and identification of hemocytes in a Cyclopoid Copepod
Abstract: Based on the literature review done it has been noted that it is the first report of observation and identification of hemocytes from Cyclopoid Copepod. The hemolymph sample was taken by a preliminary standard method and hemocytes were isolated and identified under light microcopy using eosin stain. The hemocytes observed were clarified based on the presence or absence and relative size of cytoplasmic granules. Three types of hemocytes were observed …

Antimicrobial Peptides in Fiddler Crabs: Structural Analysis and Potential Applications
Abstract: Crustaceans represent the largest and most ecologically and economically significant group of marine and aquatic arthropods. Their biomass and critical role in ecosystems highlight their importance. Among crustaceans, decapods are frequently used as model organisms in studies of immune responses due to their significant commercial value and the need to mitigate disease outbreaks in shellfish aquaculture. Antimicrobial host-defense peptides (AMPs) are pivotal in metazoan immunity, especially for invertebrates lacking adaptive …

Effect of Different Carbon and Nitrogen Sources on the Production of Carotenoid Pigments by Phaffia rhodozyma
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Carotenoids are natural compounds that are attractive in color and easy to extract from microorganisms. Astaxanthin is the principal carotenoid pigment responsible for the distinctive orange red pigmentation in marine invertebrates, fish and crustaceans. Phaffia rhodozyma (red yeast) produces astaxanthin as the major carotenoid. In the present investigation, improved astaxanthin production by the P. rhodozyma was performed with different carbon and nitrogen …

Effect of Water Quality on Aquaculture
Abstract: Aquaculture is the cultivation of aquatic organisms such as fish, algae, molluscs, crustaceans under controlled conditions. The farming of fish is the most common procedure of aquaculture which involves nurturing fish commercially in tanks, fishponds, or ocean enclosures usually for food. The increasing demand for seafood has led to advent in technology that has made it possible to grow foodin coastal marine waters and the open ocean. Aquaculture is a …
