Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Thermal Pollution on the Black Flies of the Irtysh River in KazakhstanAkhmetov Kanat, Orazbekova Aigerim, Shaimardanov Zhasulan et al.The article describes the impact of thermal pollution of water of the river Irtysh, in its middle reaches, by water used in the technological process of Aksu SRPP Teplaya tributary (Pavlodar region, Republic of Kazakhstan). The temperature of the water coming out of the Aksu SRPP is 4-6 degrees higher which accounts for 18 degrees in mid-May to 23 degrees … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 4 Dec 2024 · 4,857 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfection of Ostrinia furnacalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by Endophytic Beauveria bassiana on CornItji Diana Daud, Elkawakib, Kahar Mustari et al.The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Gueneé (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is one of the most important pests of corn. Control against this pest is attempted in several ways, including the biological control with entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana. Infection of B. bassiana in different larval phases can cause differences in insect response. This study aims to examine the effect of different larva’s … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2020 · 7,452 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Extended-Rotifers Inclusion and Live Food-Enrichment with Probiotics on the Survival, Metamorphosis, Development Time and Growth of Mud Crab, Scylla paramamosain (Estampador) LarvaeQuy Moc Ong, Ravi Fotedar, Thy Thi Truong HoThe present larval nutrition study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding probiotic-enriched rotifers inclusion mixed with Artemia until zoeal stages 4 (Z4) and Z5 on the survival, metamorphosis, development time and growth of mud crabs, Scylla paramamosain larvae. The efficiency of the feeding regime was tested by two-factor analysis. A 4×2 factorial experimental design with eight combinations of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 29 Sep 2018 · 8,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Escherichia coli with the Prevalence of Flies PopulationHassan Flayiah Hassan, Marryam AlkafagiMass releases of house fly Musca domestica (L) and stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (L). Produced by manure piles accumulated nearby horse stables and dairy farm village in Abu-Graib provide continuous threat to inhabitants west of Baghdad. Timing of fly’s mass release in association with the presence of Escherichia coli in manure piles was examined at these locations. Experimental result indicated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2013 · 7,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Cycle of Laboratory-Reared Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): A Pecan Nut PestCorella-Madueno Alba Guadalupe, Fu-Castillo Agustin, Harris Marvin et al.Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig is a monophagous pest that feeds on pecan nut trees, Carya illinoinensis. Its specific feeding habit makes the reproduction of this insect in the laboratory challenging. The objective of the present work was to replicate the biological cycle of A. nuxvorella under laboratory conditions. Different instar larvae of the insect were collected from infested nut trees. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Sep 2012 · 8,324 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance of the Red-Stripe Weevil Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Meridic DietsChoon-Fah J. Bong, Chin-Chin Er, Pang-Hung Yiu, Amartalingam RajanBiology and growth performance of Red Stripe Weevil, Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. were studied using meridic diets. The diets consisted of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) bagasse, copra (Cocos nucifera L.) cake and sago (Metroxylon sagus Rottb.) flour as main ingredients. Larvae or locally known as sagoworm, in copra cake diet exhibited the fastest growth with maximum weight gain of 1609 mg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,134 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaize Oil Can Replace Fish Oil in The Diet of Grouper Postlarvae (Epinephelus Coioides) Without Adversely Affecting Growth or Fatty Acid CompositionJin Niu, Yong-Jian Liu, Li-Xia Tian et al.This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid sources on growth, survival and body composition of 40 day post hatch larval grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Fish were fed fish meal and protein hydrolysate based diets for 32 days with either 100% maize oil or 100% fish oil in triplicate from 40-day after hatching to slaughter size (fish weight: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,279 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Styrofoam Waste Feeds on the Growth, Development and Fecundity of Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)Nismah Nukmal, Suratman Umar, Sheila Puspita Amanda, Mohammad KanediIt has been reported that Styrofoam can be biodegraded by Tenebrio molitor beetle larvae within a retention time of less than 24 h and the larvae fed solely with Styrofoam able to survive for more than a month. The question is whether Styrofoam can be used as an economical feed in the cultivation of mealworms? To determine productivity effect of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2018 · 11,249 accessesView PDF Cite
