Abstract Background Early introduction of food allergens into children's diet is considered as a strategy for the prevention of food allergy. The major fish allergen parvalbumin exhibits high stability against gastrointestinal digestion. We investigated whether resistance of carp parvalbumin to digestion ...
For full use of fish by-products, scale gelatin (TG) and antioxidant peptides (APs) of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) were prepared, and their properties were characterized using an amino acid analyzer, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Fourier transform infrared ...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Obesity and unhealthy dietary habits are described as risk factors for NAFLD. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the consumption of different animal protein sources ...
Deep seas have extremely harsh conditions including high hydrostatic pressure, total darkness, cold, and little food and oxygen. The adaptations of fishes to deep-sea environment apparently have occurred independently many times. The genetic basis of adaptation for obtaining their energy remains unknown. ...
Extreme weather events (e.g., cyclones, floods, droughts) are capable of changing ecosystems and altering how animals obtain resources. Understanding the behavioural responses of animals being impacted by these natural events can help initiate and ameliorate conservation or management programs. This ...
Predation is one of the main barriers that exotic species may face in newly colonized areas and may help stop or control the potential negative impacts of invasive species in the environment. We evaluated if the consumption of an invasive prey (armored catfish: Pterygoplichtys sp.) affects the dietary ...
Il brevetto riguarda un metodo per la depurazione dell'acqua da una vasca all'interno di un impianto di acquacoltura chiuso, in cui l'acqua prelevata dalla vasca viene prima pulita da un filtro meccanico, poi successivamente fatta fluire in un bio filtro aerobico sul quale si depositano i microrganismi, ...
The object of the invention is to provide means and method of monitoring target gas content in gas tight membrane enclosing a volume containing an object. The visible gas indicator comprises means for being fastened to a gas tight membrane enclosing a volume containing an object, where the gas indicator ...
A wearable graduated-buoyancy swimming float apparatus for use by people learning to swim
The invention relates to a device (1) for inflating an inflatable safety vest, characterised in that it comprises a storage housing (2) containing at least two cartridges (3) of pressurised gas arranged contiguously to form a row, and a release housing (4) comprising at least one percussion device which, ...
The present invention relates to a device (1) for the inflation (1) of an inflatable life vest, notable in that it comprises a storage casing (2) containing at least two cartridges (3) of pressurized gas which are arranged side-by-side and touching one another so as to form a row, and a release casing ...
An attachable arrangement, including a plurality of straps removably attachable to a body of a user. The plurality of straps includes: at least one strap removably attachable around a first leg of the user; and at least one strap removably attachable around a second leg of the user. When attached, the ...
Abstract We provide preliminary insights into the global phylogeographic and evolutionary patterns across species of the hydrozoan superfamily Plumularioidea (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa). We analyzed 1,114 16S sequences of 198 putative species of Plumularioidea collected worldwide. We investigated genetic ...
There is growing evidence that microplastic pollution (<5 mm in size) is now present in virtually all marine ecosystems, even in remote areas, such as the Arctic and the Antarctic. Microplastics have been found in water and sediments of the Antarctic but little is known of their ingestion by higher ...
Recent technological developments facilitate the collection of location data from fishing vessels at an increasing rate. The development of low-cost electronic systems allows tracking of small-scale fishing vessels, a sector of fishing fleets typically characterized by many, relatively small vessels. ...
Understanding migratory patterns is important for predicting and mitigating unwanted consequences of environmental change or anthropogenic challenges on vulnerable species. Wild Atlantic salmon undergo challenging migrations between freshwater and marine environments, and the numbers of salmon returning ...
Abstract Immunity is a central component of fitness in wild animals, but its determinants are poorly understood. In particular, the importance of locomotory activity as a constraint on immunity is unresolved. Using a piscine model (Gasterosteus aculeatus), we combined a 25‐month observational time ...
The omega-3 (n3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are associated with health benefits. The primary dietary source of EPA and DHA is seafood. Alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) has not been shown to be a good source for EPA and DHA; however, stearidonic ...
The weakly electric gymnotiform fish produce a rhythmic electric organ discharge (EOD) used for communication and active electrolocation. The EOD frequency is entrained to a medullary pacemaker nucleus. During communication and exploration, this rate can be modulated by a pre-pacemaker network, resulting ...
The recent discovery of long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) in mammals, which provide a constant expression of specific high-affinity antibodies that mediate humoral memory, has caused a dramatic paradigm shift in the study of immunity and vaccine development. In teleost fish, there are few studies regarding ...
