This study of aviation-related recreation loss shows that a survey primarily aimed at collecting information on invasive species’ pathways can also be used to estimate changes in pathway-related ecosystem services. We present a case study for Elodea spp. (elodea), Alaska’s first known aquatic invasive ...
Kemp's ridley sea turtles were on the verge of extinction in the 1960s. While these sea turtles have slowly recovered, they are still critically endangered. In the last few years, the number of strandings on the beaches of Cape Cod, Massachusetts has increased by nearly an order of magnitude relative ...
Threatened chondrichthyan diversity is high in developing countries where scarce resources, limited data, and minimal stakeholder support often render conservation efforts challenging. As such, data on many species, including many evolutionarily distinct endemics, is poor in these countries and their ...
Mangrove forests capture and store exceptionally large amounts of carbon and are increasingly recognised as an important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Yet land-use change in the tropics threatens this ecosystem and its critical ‘blue carbon’ (carbon stored in marine and coastal habitats) stores. ...
The invention discloses a large-scale photon capture bioreactor for water purification and aquaculture. The bioreactor comprises a lockable three-dimensional building space. Each plane layer in the lockable three-dimensional building space is provided with a sinuous water channel. Each channel is provided ...
A trawl door (1) is disclosed, comprising two or more hydrofoil elements (2), cross-sectional stiffeners (3), front-towing attachment facilities (4), and rear-towing attachment facilities (5), wherein the trawl door further comprises a positional control system arranged to be able to change the equilibrium ...
Key Clinical Message Ultrasonography is useful in the diagnosis of foreign body migrations (eg, fish bones) into the soft tissues of the neck.
In order to investigate the effects of salt on the nutrients and tastes profiles of big eye tuna head soup, the typical nutrients and taste substances were analyzed. The formation and the morphology of micro/nanoparticles (MNPs) were studied using an inverted optical microscope, and the interactions ...
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a naturally occurring bacterium in estuarine waters and is a major cause of seafood-borne illness. The bacterium has been consistently identified in Pacific Northwest waters and elevated illness rates of vibriosis in Washington State have raised concerns among growers, risk ...
Background Few population-based studies have assessed dietary behaviors in the rural multiethnic population of Northern Norway. The present study determined dietary patterns and investigated their association with Sami ethnicity, sociodemographic factors, and lifestyle factors in a multiethnic population ...
Abstract Background Grasslands in the Arctic tundra undergo irreversible degradation due to climatic changes and also over-exploitation and depletion of scarce resources. Comprehensive investigations of cytogenomic structures of valuable Arctic and sub-Arctic grassland species is essential for clarifying ...
The foundation of food web analysis is a solid understanding of predator-prey associations. Traditional dietary studies of fishes have been by stomach content analysis. However, these methods are not applicable to Critically Endangered species such as the smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata). Previous ...
The aims of this project were to study: diet composition, food selectivity and the phenology of different prey items in grayling’s (Thymallus thymallus) diet. It was hypothesized, that alterations in mayfly emergence, caused by reservoir-induced thermal changes, have consequences for trophic ecology ...
Argulus spp. are economically important fish ectoparasites. The development of antiparasitic drugs is thus important and real time PCR is an indispensable tool in drug development. The analytical potential of RT-PCR depends upon accurate normalisation by the use of stable reference genes. Here, we identified ...
The Mediterranean Sea is a biodiversity hotspot where intense fishing pressure is associated with high bycatch rates of protected species (sea turtles and cetaceans) and top predators (sharks). Since the conservation of these species has become a priority, fishery scientists are faced with the challenge ...
The disclosure provides for compositions and methods for the preservation of meat tissues, including fish, beef, poultry and pork, and meat analogs containing added heme protein, using very low amounts of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes in a combination with rosemary.
The invention relates to a seasoning product and to the use of the seasoning product for cooking food. The seasoning product is an assembly of a sheet of flexible burn resistant material such as a baking paper, and a composition of three layers comprising a first layer of fat, a second layer of flavorings ...
Water treatment device comprising: a body defining a duct (2) for a water flow; a bladed assembly (5) contained in said body and contacting said water flow, said bladed assembly comprising a plurality of blades (6) aligned along the flow direction and rotated one to another by a pitch angle so that ...
While natural communities are assembled by both ecological and evolutionary processes, ecological assembly processes have been studied much more and are rarely compared with evolutionary assembly processes. We address these disparities here by comparing community food webs assembled by simulating introductions ...
Abstract This study was focused on shelf‐life extension of whole shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis) using an active coating containing gelatin hydrolysates. Gelatin extracted from Scomberomorus commerson skin was hydrolyzed using actinidin extracted from kiwifruit. Some important physicochemical characteristics ...
