Major proteins contained in dried giant grouper roe (GR) such as vitellogenin (from Epinephelus coioides; NCBI accession number: AAW29031.1), apolipoprotein A-1 precursor (from Epinephelus coioides; NCBI accession number: ACI01807.1) and apolipoprotein E (from Epinephelus bruneus; NCBI accession number: ...
Abstract Whether the ovarian fluid (OF) represents a selective environment influencing cryptic female choice was tested using an external fertilizer experiencing intense sperm competition and large effects of OF on sperm swimming behavior—the Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). We physically separated ...
Abstract The position of an author on the byline of a paper affects the inferences readers make about their contributions to the research. We examine gender differences in authorship in the ecology literature using two datasets: submissions to six journals between 2010 and 2015 (regardless of whether ...
Abstract In this study, we considered potential causes of variation in testis size in the livebearing fish Brachyrhaphis rhabdophora. We evaluated variation in testes mass among individual males and among populations that occupy different selective environments. First, we predicted that small males ...
Abstract Microbiological quality of smoked catfish (Clarias gariepinus) locally known as Mlamba was assessed in this study where traditional and improved smoking kilns were used to smoke fish. Catfish is common fish caught in abundance in the Lake Chilwa basin, and the fish is usually smoked to reduce ...
A fine heating wire having a small diameter and applicable to various products. The fine heating wire is bendable, densely installed, and has high thermal efficiency. It includes a core formed with synthetic fiber material and a coil spirally wound around the outer portion of the core. The core connects ...
A monitoring system for monitoring an offshore construction is presented. The offshore construction to be monitored comprises mutually mechanically coupled marine assets. The monitoring system comprises a data storage unit, an intrusion detection service, an input device, and an update service. The ...
The Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands (BBCW) project of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) aims to reduce point-source freshwater discharges and spread freshwater flow along the mainland shoreline of southern Biscayne Bay. These actions will be taken to approximate conditions in the coastal ...
An exemplary embodiment provides a method of treating an environment (aquatic or land) to remediate an infestation of mollusks, either active or in hibernation, to remediate a mollusk infestation. The method includes the steps of: selecting an amount of a formulation (solid or liquid) comprising a saponin; ...
Certain embodiments are described herein of coatings and articles comprising coatings. In some examples, the coating comprises a textured layer comprising at least one metal or metallic compound. The coating may also comprise a plurality of individual surface features in a micro- or nano-structure size ...
Curable coating compositions for preventing biofouling include a) at least one epoxy resin; b) at least one amine-functional poly(dialkylsiloxane) polymer in an amount from 1 to 70% based on the combined weights of components a) and b); and c) at least one alkylene polyamine, polyalkylene polyamine ...
Hairtail fish samples were stored at different freezing temperatures of −5 °C, −20 °C, −40 °C and −80 °C. To establish an effective quality evaluation approach for hairtail samples during frozen storage, fractal dimension was used to observe the porous microstructure that resulted from the ice crystal ...
The emergence of zebrafish Danio rerio as a versatile model organism provides the unique opportunity to monitor the functions of glycosylation throughout vertebrate embryogenesis, providing insights into human diseases caused by glycosylation defects. Using a combination of chemical modifications, enzymatic ...
North Atlantic right whales (NARW), Eubalaena glacialis, were nearly exterminated by historical whaling. Their abundance slowly increased up until 2010, to a maximum of fewer than 500 whales, and since then they have been in decline. We assessed the extent to which the relatively slow increase demonstrated ...
River ecosystems in semi-arid environments provide an array of resources that concentrate biodiversity, but also attract human settlement and support economic development. In the southwestern United States, land-use change, drought, and anthropogenic disturbance are compounding factors which have led ...
As upper-level predators, sharks are important for maintaining marine food web structure, but populations are threatened by fishery exploitation. Sustainable management of shark populations requires improved understanding of migration patterns and population demographics, which has traditionally been ...
Described herein are controlled release pet food compositions comprising: a matrix comprising: a fiber component comprising a high solubility fiber source and low solubility fiber source, and a polyphenol source; wherein the matrix is adapted to deliver the polyphenol source to the lower gastrointestinal ...
A method for controlling the concentration of a gas in a crisper drawer (100): by capturing the concentration of a freshness-preserving gas in a storage chamber (10) and comparing with a preset threshold, determining whether to feed the freshness-preserving gas into the storage chamber (10), or employing ...
