Abstract: Methods and constructs for genetic manipulation of one or more of shrimp, shellfish, mollusks, and fish are disclosed. The nucleic acid construct includes a promoter and an internal ribosome entry site of an insect picomavirus, such as a cricket paralysis-like picomavirus. One or more open reading frames can be operably associated with one or both of the promoter and the internal ribosome entry site, and one or more proteins or protein subunits can be expressed upon introduction of the construct into a host cell, such as into a shrimp. Method for producing immortalized crustacean cell lines using enhancer elements derived from shrimp and/or shrimp viruses are also described.

Abstract: The use of macroalgal, microalgal, and fungally-derived materials provide, in combination with higher-plant derived materials, complete feeds for animal husbandry. The products and methods of the invention provide nutritional feed formulations, that reduce or eliminate the need for animal-derived materials. The feeds are useful for terrestrial or aquatic animals, and comprise docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the composition, method of production, and use of improved edible fish, crustacean, or mollusk products enriched with one or more components that provide health benefits to humans or other animals consuming the product.

Abstract: A microbial biomass, made from algae, bacteria, fungi, yeast, or combinations thereof, provides a feed for animals raised either in agriculture or aquaculture. A feed additive, and a therapeutic composition can also be made from a microbial biomass of algae, bacteria, fungi, yeast, or combinations thereof. The feed, feed additive, and therapeutic composition can comprise one or more proteins, peptides, antibodies, antibody fragments, or a combination thereof, wherein said proteins, peptides, antibodies, antibody fragments, or a combination thereof are non-native to the microbes of the biomass. The biomass can have therapeutic, bioactive, nutritional, and/or immunogenic properties.
