(Hindawi Publishing, 2011)The influence of environmental parameters on the spawning aggregation of Euphausia sibogae was investigated along the southwest coast of India during the peak phase of summer monsoon 2005. The prevailing ecological conditions ... -
Antiviral property of marine actinomycetes against white spot syndrome virus in penaeid shrimps
Kumar, S.S.; Philip, R.; Achuthankutty, C.T. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Aquaculture farms, particularly in Southeast Asia are facing severe crisis due to increasing incidences of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). Actinomycetes have provided many important bioactive compounds of high prophylactic ... -
