SCRC: PhD Extension : RNA interference (RNAi) as a means to control Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD). (Student: Paula Lima)

RNA interference has emerged as a powerful tool for rapid analysis of gene function in non-model organisms and has the potential to identify candidate targets for interventions against diseases of economic importance to aquaculture. The main purpose of the study was to use functional and comparative...

SCRC: PhD: Processing of Sea cucumber viscera for bioactive compounds

Sea cucumbers are prolific producers of a wide range of bioactive compounds, which are potential sources of agrichemical, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products. Sea cucumbers expel their internal organs as a defence mechanism called evisceration. We hypothesize that the reason for...

SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H4.6 Effect of temperature and plant protein inclusion on the growth factor gene expression in Yellowtail Kingfish (Jian Qin; Student Geoffrey Collins)

In this study the suitability of canola oil (CO) and poultry fat (PO) as alternatives to fish oil (FO) was assessed. Furthermore, a real-time RT-qPCR assay to detect hepatic insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) was developed. Four isoproteic...
