Total plasma fatty acids or those in cholesteryl ester and phospholipids are often used to reflect fatty acid intake in epidemiological studies, but their relative performance as biomarkers of intake has not been clearly evaluated within a single population. The assessment of fatty acids in plasma fractions ...
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) has been largely associated with latitude and sunshine exposure across several regions. According to previous results, 25(OH)D concentrations are, on average, relatively low in countries with abundant sunshine, including those of the Middle East and North Africa region, ...
Herbivory is an important process in the general structuring of coral reef benthic communities. However, evidence of its ability to control coral reef benthic cyanobacterial mats, which have recently proliferated on reefs worldwide, remains ambivalent. Here, we report that the French Angelfish (Pomacanthus ...
Infectious diseases are potential contributors to decline in Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populations. Although pathogens are theoretically considered to pose higher risk in high-density rearing environments like hatcheries, there is no direct evidence that hatchery-origin Coho salmon increase ...
Abstract The ecosystem functioning of two marine food webs covering the north‐eastern (Salento) and south‐western (Calabria) sectors of the North‐Western Ionian Sea (NWIS) (Central Mediterranean Sea) was investigated through a food‐web model. Data inputs covered a wide set of ecological information ...
Protein denaturation in frozen minced fillets (Ehrenberg’s Snapper), stored at −25 °C was studied; 50.0 mg biomass/50g mince fillets treated with cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, garlic, ginger and 25.0 mg of vitamin C were used to slow protein denaturation. FT-IR stretching vibration of Amide-A (νNH) at ...
Simple Summary Indonesia needs basic data on the reproductive dynamics of economically important fishery species, including groupers, in order to support sustainable fisheries management. Data from the histological examination of grouper gonad samples were combined with data from: participatory mapping ...
Abstract Species checklists and dichotomous keys are valuable tools that provide many services for ecological studies and management through tracking native and non-native species through time. We developed nine drainage basin checklists and dichotomous keys for 196 inland fishes of Texas, consisting ...
Background Recently developed genome resources in Salmonid fish provides tools for studying the genomics underlying a wide range of properties including life history trait variation in the wild, economically important traits in aquaculture and the evolutionary consequences of whole genome duplications. ...
Visible light communication (VLC) has the potential to serve as a high-speed underwater wireless connectivity solution to support real-time image and video transmission. Underwater propagation medium imposes additional challenges on the design of VLC systems which were originally proposed for indoor ...
The resistance of ships is often dominated by friction between the hull and the water. This study explores possibilities of reducing skin-friction drag in a way inspired by dolphins. These possess a soft skin believed to diminish drag by delaying the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. The underlying ...
This paper gives a quick overview of current positioning vessel seaway systems with particular focus on autosteering gear systems involving elements of artificial intelligence systems. The authors recommend an autosteering system containing a fuzzy logic regulator to obtain control activity; a neural ...
A study of the potentials of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites as passive radar illuminators for ground target detection is presented. GPS signals are promising due to their global coverage and the availability of multiple satellites wherever over the world. The main drawback is the low power ...
The SMART-Navigation project aims to develop a next-generation maritime safety integrated management system based on the e-Navigation concept of the IMO. The purpose of the pilot LTE-Maritime project is to construct test zones and establish effective LTE-Maritime plans based on the pilot test results. ...
Abstract John Steele (1926–2013) is remembered for his ecosystem modelling studies on the role of biological interactions and environment on the structure and function of marine ecosystems, including consequences for fish production and fisheries management. Here, we provide a scientific tribute to ...
Abstract Increased temperature in the epilimnion and hypoxia in the metalimnion of a lake would result in an increase of positive-size-selective fish predation on zooplankton and in turn in a decrease of mean body size in zooplankton populations and communities. We tested this hypothesis in four types ...
Background and Aim: Malachite green (MG) is an effective antiparasitic and antifungal chemical for treatment of fish. However, MG is reported to be a potential carcinogen. Yet, it is widely used in aquaculture despite its prohibition for use in food-producing animals by the EU and USFDA. The present ...
ABSTRACT Reduced bone quality or mineral density predict susceptibility to fracture and also attenuate subsequent repair. Bone regrowth is also compromised by bacterial infection, which exacerbates fracture site inflammation. Because of the cellular complexity of fracture repair, as well as genetic ...
We analyse the network structure of the British salmonid aquaculture industry from the perspective of infectious disease control. We combine for the first time live fish transport (or movement) data covering England and Wales with data covering Scotland and include network layers representing potential ...
One of many services that could be developed with IoT technology and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a smart aquaculture service. In order to establish the smart aquaculture service, in previous research we developed a sensor node equipped with LoRa communication module to observe several physical ...
