This research focussed on the utilisation of salmon protein and lipid to manipulate pasta’s glycaemic index and protein digestibility. Salmon fish (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) powder (SFP) supplemented pasta flour in amounts from 5% to 20% (w/w). Inclusion of SFP lead to a significant reduction in starch ...
The article is the third in the series of four that present the results of a study on environmental contaminants in coastal Chukotka, which was conducted in the context of a multi-disciplinary investigation of indigenous foodways in the region. The article presents the results of the analysis of metals ...
Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is one of the most important parasitic diseases of farmed Atlantic salmon. It is a source of major economic loss to the industry and poses significant threats to animal welfare. Previous studies have shown that resistance against this disease has a moderate, heritable genetic ...
Reprogramming of cultured cells using Xenopus egg extract involves controlling four major steps: plasma membrane permeabilization, egg factors import into the nucleus, membrane resealing, and cell proliferation. Using propidium iodide to assess plasma membrane permeability, we established that 90% of ...
Na+/H+ exchangers are the most common membrane proteins involved in the regulation of intracellular pH that concurrently transport Na+ into the cells and H+ out of the cells. In this study, the full-length cDNA of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) from the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) was cloned. ...
Background Traditional food systems are under pressure from various stressors, including climate change which is projected to negatively alter the abundance of marine species harvested by coastal First Nations (FNs) in British Columbia (BC). Objective To model the potential impacts of the climate-related ...
We have carried out a retrospective study of chromosome anomalies associated with increased nuchal translucency (NT) in order to compare yield rates of karyotype, chromosome microarray analysis (CMA), and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in this condition. Presenting with increased NT or cystic ...
This invention relates to a fish feed pellets containing fish meal, wherein the pellets comprise a protein hydrolysate and wheat gluten preferably, vital wheat gluten in a ratio wheat gluten: protein hydrolysate of 5:1 to 20:1, wherein the wheat gluten content in the pellet (preferably the vital wheat ...
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 present invention relates to an apparatus for emptying and filling horizontal freezers, comprising: a) a first and a second chain actuator, said chain actuators being arranged parallel to each other and parallel to an y axis, i. said chain actuators having first and second ends, b) a sliding beam ...
The photo-coupled data acquisition system can have a container having a contour wall extending upwardly from a closed bottom, for containing a sample therein, a light emitter operable to emit diffused light into the container at an initial intensity, a photodetector operable to detect a reflected intensity ...
Abstract Historical harvesting pushed many whale species to the brink of extinction. Although most Southern Hemisphere populations are slowly recovering, the influence of future climate change on their recovery remains unknown. We investigate the impacts of two anthropogenic pressures—historical commercial ...
Abstract Restriction site‐associated DNA (RAD) sequencing was used to characterize neutral and adaptive genetic variation among geographic samples of red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, an estuarine‐dependent fish found in coastal waters along the southeastern coast of the United States (Atlantic) and the ...
A twisted polymeric fiber (TPF) actuator often referred to as a fishing line/sewing thread artificial muscle, is one of the soft actuators which is made by twisting and heating a nylon fishing line. There are mainly two types of the TPF actuator, one is to make a contraction motion, which is sometimes ...
Abstract An epidemiological study was carried out in Norway in 2015–2018, investigating the development of infection with Piscine myocarditis virus (PMCV) and development of cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) in farmed Atlantic salmon. Cohorts from 12 sites were followed and sampled every month or every ...
Immune-modulatory effects of β-glucans are generally considered beneficial to fish health. Despite the frequent application of β-glucans in aquaculture practice, the exact receptors and downstream signalling remains to be described for fish. In mammals, Dectin-1 is a member of the C-type lectin receptor ...
Tilapias are very important to the world's aquaculture. As befitting fish of their tropical origin, their distribution, and culture practices are highly affected by low temperatures. In this study, we used genetic and genomic methodologies to reveal pathways involved in the response and tolerance of ...
Northern populations of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) can be anadromous, migrating annually from the ocean to freshwater lakes and rivers in order to escape sub-zero temperatures. Such seasonal behavior demands that these fish and their associated microbiomes adapt to changes in salinity, temperature, ...
In this study, we investigated the possibility of rearing and breeding the razor clam (Sinonovacula constricta) in inland low salinity water or freshwater. Long-term low salinity (LS) rearing was performed for 3 months to determine the effects of LS on the survival rate, growth rate, and the activities ...
Although hybridization between populations with low genetic diversity may induce heterosis, it can also lead to reduced fitness of hybrid offspring through outbreeding depression and loss of local adaptations. Using a half-sib mating design, we studied on brown trout (Salmo trutta) how hybridization ...
