Development of gene-linked molecular markers in South African abalone (Haliotis midae) using an in silico mining approach
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African abalone, Haliotis midae, is the only endemic species of commercial value. Aquaculture remains the only avenue for expanding the industry, since the closure of the fishery. The current ... -
Microsatellite genotyping of contributing broodstock and selected offspring of Haliotis midae submitted to a growth performance recording scheme
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2007-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The indigenous abalone Haliotis midae is one of the most remarkable and highly exploited species of marine molluscs in South Africa. It is the only species of southern African Haliotidae to be commercially ... -
Microsatellite marker development and parentage assignment in Haliotis midae
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2008-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The five leading abalone producers in South Africa have initiated a genetic enhancement program for Haliotis midae in a collaborative effort to improve economically valuable traits. Several independent ... -
Mitigation methods for Terebrasabella heterouncinata, a problematic sabellid polychaete, populations within an abalone (Haliotis midae) production system
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-03)T. heterouncinata is a sabellid polychaete endemic to South Africa and found primarily in the shells of the abalone Haliotis midae. With the intensification of abalone aquaculture around the world, T. heterouncinata has ... -
Molecular markers to assist the South African abalone industry
(Academy of Science for South Africa, 2006)HALIOTIS MIDAE (PERLEMOEN) IS THE ONLY southern African species of abalone to be commercially exploited. Commercial farms are currently producing 750 tons per annum, making this an economically viable enterprise. Increasing ... -
Population genetic structure and demographical history of South African abalone, Haliotis midae, in a conservation context
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South African abalone, Haliotis midae, has been the subject of major concern regarding its survival and conservation over the last decade or more. Being the only one of five endemic species with commercial ...
