A transport container for multiple stages of a distribution chain is provided. The transport container includes a power source providing electrical power to the transport container. An ethylene injection unit configured to store and inject ethylene into the transport container. A controller in operative ...
The invention relates to a method for the protein enrichment of a microalga cultivated under heterotrophic conditions, of the genus Chlorella, and more particularly Chlorella protothecoides, characterised in that it comprises: - a first step intended to limit the supply of ammonium in such a way as ...
Gli ecosistemi marini costieri sperimentano fluttuazioni dinamiche nella chimica del carbonato nell'acqua di mare. L’importanza di questa variazione nel contesto dell’acidificazione degli oceani richiede di conoscere a quale aspetto della variabilità rispondono i processi biologici. Abbiamo condotto ...
Myrtaceae are a group of plants that include a number of renowned species used in ethnomedicine in many areas worldwide. Their valuable therapeutic properties have stimulated a fruitful research activity addressed to the identification of the bioactive components of their extracts yielding a great diversity ...
The present invention relates to a downhole device for being moved downwards in a well by fluid to assist stimulation of a production zone of the well, the well comprising a well tubular structure having a first opening and a first movable sleeve arranged opposite the first opening, and the well tubular ...
A device for recording and monitoring health and physical development of live fish comprises at least one imaging device (3) adapted to image a recording area, a data processor (1), and a memory unit (2), and a guiding device (23, 43, 84) to guide fish through the recording area. The data processor ...
It is intended to build a mechanism similar to that of the efficient purification system of rivers. By a pump unit, water circulation corresponding to the natural water circulation generated by water evaporation and rainfall is produced to generate a water flow in a biological filtration layer including ...
The invention relates to a probiotic composition, which includes at least one lactic acid bacteria strain, preferably Lactobacillus with intestinal tropism, for use intended to promote juvenile livestock growth with stimulation of linear growth and/or IGF-1 levels. Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus ...
A system and method for automatically harvesting fish from an aquaculture cage is provided. Underwater robotic rovers draw out a large net from a protective enclosure. The net is manipulated to corral or concentrate the fish into a smaller volume. Transponders installed at strategic locations throughout ...
We examined how coastal mercury contamination varied spatially and temporally across the Iberian Peninsula by measuring mercury concentrations in the eggs of the sentinel biomonitor yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis). Samples were collected from eight colonies that ranged from the Atlantic across ...
Identifying the neurotransmitters used by specific neurons is a critical step in understanding the function of neural circuits. However, methods for the consistent and efficient detection of neurotransmitter markers remain limited. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) enables direct labeling of ...
Obesity is prevalent in modern society because of a lifestyle consisting of high dietary fat and sucrose consumption combined with little exercise. Among the consequences of obesity are the emerging epidemics of hepatic steatosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Sterol regulatory element-binding ...
Background: The aim of this analysis was to ascertain the type of relationship between fish and seafood consumption, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) intake, and depression prevalence. Methods: Cross-sectional analyses of the PREDIMED-Plus trial. Fish and seafood consumption and ω-3 PUFA ...
Venomous animals are found through a wide taxonomic range including cartilaginous fish such as the freshwater stingray Potamotrygon motoro occurring in South America, which can injure people and cause venom-related symptoms. Ensuring the efficacy of drug development to treat stingray injuries can be ...
Abstract The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of habitat and biological state on the physiology of critically endangered wild and semi-natural Yangtze Finless Porpoises (YFPs; Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ssp. asiaeorientalis) by measuring and comparing serum biochemical parameters. ...
Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) support culturally and economically important fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska, though recent decreases in mean size-at-age have substantially reduced fishery yields, generating concerns among stakeholders and resource managers. Among the prevailing hypotheses ...
Larus gull species have proven adaptable to urbanization and due to their generalist feeding behaviors, they provide useful opportunities to study how urban environments impact foraging behavior and host-associated microbiota. We evaluated how urbanization influenced the foraging behavior and microbiome ...
Abstract The extent to which no‐take marine reserves can benefit anadromous species requires examination. Here, we used acoustic telemetry to investigate the spatial behavior of anadromous brown trout (sea trout, Salmo trutta) in relation to a small marine reserve (~1.5 km2) located inside a fjord ...
Complex social structure is a prominent feature in several mammal species. Such structure may lead to behavioural diversity not only among populations, but also within a single population, where different subsets of a population may exhibit different types of behaviour. As a consequence, understanding ...
To supplement data collected via interviews, participant observation and mapping in two communities where three monitoring interventions had been introduced, a Role Playing Game and debriefing were used to identify variations in fishing and landing practices in proximate communities and to validate ...
