Optimising the growth of Cryptococcus species SS1, a potential probiotic for farmed abalone
Farmed abalone is a reliable and good quality source of abalone. Cryptococcus species SS1 was isolated from the gut of the South African abalone, Haliotis midae, and has been identified as a potential probiotic for farmed abalone. The implementation of strain SS1 as a probiotic for aquacultured …

Ulva as a functional feed: a practical investigation into the effects of Ulva lacinulata on the growth, consumption, health and gut microbiota of the farmed abalone Haliotis midae
… of the macroalga Ulva by the South African abalone aquaculture industry using IMTA systems. Farms that use fresh Ulva as a supplement to formulated feed have reported a reduction in the volume of formulated feed required to achieve optimal growth of abalone however, there are no standard …

Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain C4 as a probiotic for farmed South African abalone, Haliotis midae
… the growth and decreased the susceptibility of farmed abalone to pathogenic bacterial infection. The mechanism by which the probiotic is able to increase growth rates and reduced susceptibility to pathogen infection was investigated. A number of bacterial strains were isolated from the digestive …

Characterisation of the population genetics of farm-bred Haliotis midae using microsatellite DNA markers
The abalone Haliotis midae is a gastropod mollusc which is of commercial importance in South Africa due to its high export value. During this study the genetic structure of farmed Haliotis midae was investigated in order to determine whether microsatellite DNA analysis could be used to separate …

The partial characterisation of an NFKB homologue from the South African abalone haliotis midae utilising in vivo and in vitro techniques
… important marine gastropod that is commercially farmed along the South African coastline. The demand for the edible foot of the abalone far exceeds the supply, as such monitoring the health status of commercially farmed abalone is important if the demand is to be met. In farming conditions, …

A new sabellid that infests the shells of molluscs and its implications for abalone mariculture
… sabellid polychaetes were found in South African farmed abalone in 1994. Growth experiments confirmed that infested abalone had reduced growth rates. Surveys of both the intertidal and subtidal region at various locations around the South African coastline revealed that the sabellid was endemic to …

The role of enteric bacteria in the Abalone, Haliotis Midae
… role of bacteria in the digestive tract of the abalone Haliotis midae was examined to determine whether bacteria aid hydrolysis of polysaccharides present in seaweeds which farmed abalone consume. The enteric bacteria were enumerated using culturable and total (DAPI) counts. The numbers of …

Comparative studies on Macrocystis pyrifera and Ecklonia maxima (Laminariales) in South Africa; investigating the use of M. pyrifera as abalone feed in South African aquaculture and assessing the vulnerability of these two species to Marine Heat Waves
… about the species in South Africa. South African abalone aquaculture has been increasing for many years and farmers are continually searching for new sustainable sources of abalone feed. As more abalone farms are built and existing farms expand, farms that use kelp as a feed, will likely require …
