Farming has been changing through multiple technological transformations in recent years, in parallel with the earth’s growing population and demands. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides very remarkable technological innovations on farming by bringing a new paradigm. Aquaculture in fresh or salt water ...
Combining aquaculture and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies still poses several challenges. IoT technologies are exploited to enhance productivity in aquaculture sites by maintaining precise operating conditions and to avoid undesirable situations. Currently, human intervention is still needed to ...
Food Traceability is a customer's and other value chain operator's call, driven by increasing product quality demands and customers' awareness. Traceability in fisheries and aquaculture value chain is related to the geographical origin and location of products, but also to the continuous measurement ...
The volume of data related to operational activity, produced and exchanged among the several Portuguese Navy naval units is high and diversified. The way each naval unit currently collects and processes data makes difficult to consolidate information in the process of analysis and decision making. This ...
Fish consumption has been increasing over time. Currently almost half of the fish consumed by humans comes from aquaculture farms. As it happens with other food productset, the traceability of fish or fishery products is very important, either to inform the consumer about the path of the fish through ...
The Internet provides a medium for solving problems, namely scientific, for the industry or academia, an important one being Linear Programming (LP), illustrated here as an application of computing “over the Internet”, our style of computing. We present the use of CPLEX, a powerful LP solver, through ...
In this paper, a UHF RFID sensor tag suitable for cold-chain applications is presented. The purpose of this RFID tag, developed in the framework of a TETRAMAX technology transfer project, is to provide both tracking and temperature monitoring of fresh and frozen fish. The device is a semi-passive tag ...
Aim: The aim of the current investigation was to screen the presence of Staphylococci spp., especially S. aureus in meat, meat products of different animal species, and some seafood sold in some retail markets in Libya using cultural and molecular techniques, and to study their antibiotics resistance ...
Abstract There is inconsistent evidence on the efficacy of agriculture programmes at improving women and children's anaemia and nutritional status. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a nutrition‐sensitive enhanced homestead food production (EHFP) programme on anaemia in women ...
Background We assessed metrics of the metazoan parasite infracommunities of the dusky flounder (Syacium papillosum) as indicators of aquatic environmental health of the Yucatan Shelf (YS) prior to oil extraction. We sampled the dusky flounder and its parasites along the YS, mostly during the 2015 north ...
Reports of norovirus infections associated with the consumption of contaminated bivalve molluscan shellfish negatively impact both consumers and commercial shellfish operators. Current virus recovery and PCR detection methods can be expensive and time consuming. Due to the lack of rapid, user-friendly ...
Simple Summary Aquaculture is highlighted as one of the most important activities to generate food with a sustainable character. Developing the production chain as a whole is considerably challenging, especially aiming to sustain its constant growth, thus studies regarding alternative feeds are required ...
Transport processes between aquaculture facilities activate the stress response in fish. To deal with these situations, the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis releases cortisol, leading to an increase in circulating energy resources to restore homeostasis. However, if the allostatic load generated ...
Muscle quality and the physiological condition of fish are affected greatly by the culture environment. In aquaculture ponds, a bio-floating bed planted with vegetation is often used to improve water quality. This study investigated the growth and muscle quality of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) ...
Studies have reported the occurrence of Vibrio cholerae in fish but little is known about the interaction between fish and toxigenic V. cholerae as opposed to phytoplankton, which are well-established aquatic reservoirs for V. cholerae. The present study determined the role of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ...
Bacillus subtilis is the best studied Gram-positive bacterium, primarily as a model of cell differentiation and industrial exploitation. To date, little is known about the virulence of B. subtilis. In this study, we examined the virulence potential of a B. subtilis strain (G7) isolated from the Iheya ...
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) feeds have changed drastically in their composition from being predominantly marine-based to plant-based. This has altered the dietary supply and availability of micro-nutrients to Atlantic salmon. The impact of graded inclusion levels of a nutrient package (NP) comprising ...
Despite the successful application of LNA/2’OMe-FISH procedures for bacteria detection, there is a lack of knowledge on the properties that affect hybridization. Such information is crucial for the rational design of protocols. Hence, this work aimed to evaluate the effect of three essential factors ...
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used in different areas of applications such as rescue operations, surveillance, agriculture, aerial mapping, engineering applications and research, among others, in order to perform tasks with greater efficiency. This work focuses on the use ...
Simple Summary Cryobanking is an important tool to preserve the genetic resources of fish species. Semen cryopreservation has been extensively used in conservation programs for endangered species. Here, we aimed to find an effective cryopreservation protocol for the autochthonous Mediterranean brown ...
