Abstract A new product in the form of edible fish powder was developed from small pelagic fish (Brycinus nurse) which constitutes one of the major commercial fisheries in Lake Albert, Uganda. The objective of the study was to determine the proximate and mineral composition of the newly developed fish ...
Spatial and seasonal variations of particulate phosphorus (PP) in a large shallow, eutrophic Lake Taihu with different ecotypes (including a phytoplankton-dominated zone, lake center zone, estuary zone and macrophyte-dominated zone) were investigated. The results showed that particulate organic phosphorus ...
Enteric septicemia of catfish, columnaris disease and streptococcosis, caused by Edwardsiella ictaluri, Flavobacterium columnare and Streptococcus iniae, respectively, are the most common bacterial diseases of economic significance to the pond-raised channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus industry. Certain ...
ABSTRACT Serial blood sampling involving sampling blood from the same individual at different time points is essential in time-based studies including xenobiotic toxicokinetics and biochemical studies. However, high fish mortality due to phlebotomy-induced anaemia (PIA) constrains serial blood sampling ...
A disposable mitten (10) having a mitten body (12) formed from first and second (layers (14, 16). Each layer (14, 16) has an inner surface and an outer surface, and an information display portion provided on at least one of the first and second layers (14, 16). Information provided in the information ...
A self-contained, low-cost, low-weight guidance system for vehicles is provided. The guidance system can include an optical camera, a case, a processor, a connection between the processor and an on-board control system, and computer algorithms running on the processor. The guidance system can be integrated ...
Lead exposure is a legacy issue that continues to affect vulnerable population groups globally, but particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICS). We take a multi-disciplinary approach to examine the patterns of lead exposure in these countries, discuss the underlying injustices and socio-political ...
Shipbuilding often requires welders to work in tight or enclosed spaces, such as inside ship hulls or fuel tanks. This can make controlling weld fumes and keeping them out of the welder's breathing zone difficult. In this paper, we'll explore the dangers of weld smoke, the special challenges of controlling ...
Ships interact with the environment in several ways. The focus in this paper is on how ships interact with the wind and how this is treated in design. It is generally sufficient in most cases to model wind force as a static load. However, there may be circumstances where a more detailed description ...
Abstract A thorough understanding of ecological networks relies on comprehensive information on trophic relationships among species. Since unpicking the diet of many organisms is unattainable using traditional morphology‐based approaches, the application of high‐throughput sequencing methods represents ...
Dinoflagellates possess some of the largest known genomes. However, the study of their chromosomes is complicated by their similar size and their inability to be distinguished by traditional banding techniques. Dinoflagellate chromosomes lack nucleosomes and are present in a liquid crystalline state. ...
Background Plasmopara obducens is the biotrophic oomycete responsible for impatiens downy mildew, a destructive disease of Impatiens that causes high crop loss. Currently, there are no available methods for the microscopic detection of P. obducens from leaves of impatiens, which may be contributing ...
Healthy seagrasses are considered a prime indicator of estuarine and coastal ecosystem function; however, as the only group of flowering plants recolonizing the sea, seagrasses are frequently exposed to anthropogenic heavy metal pollutants, which are associated with high levels of molecular damage. ...
Nature is composed of self-propelled, animate agents and inanimate objects. Laboratory studies have shown that human infants and a few species discriminate between animate and inanimate objects. This ability is assumed to have evolved to support social cognition and filial imprinting, but its ecological ...
The dam constructions greatly changed the hydrologic conditions in the Yangtze River, and then significantly affected the spawning activities of indigenous river fish. Monitoring the species composition of drifting eggs during spawning season is important for protection issues. In this study, we have ...
Reactions of singing behavior of individual humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) to a specific shipping noise were examined. Two autonomous recorders separated by 3.0 km were used for the acoustic monitoring of each individual song sequence. A passenger-cargo liner was operated once per day, and ...
Emerald Basin on the Scotian Shelf off Nova Scotia, Canada, is home to a globally unique aggregation of the glass sponge Vazella pourtalesi, first documented in the region in 1889. In 2009, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) implemented two Sponge Conservation Areas to protect these sponge grounds from ...
Predicting fish stock variations on interannual to decadal time scales is one of the major issues in fisheries science and management. Although the field of marine ecological predictions is still in its infancy, it is understood that a major source of multi-year predictability resides in the ocean. ...
The present invention addresses the problem of developing a fat-processed starch which is excellent in terms of all of three properties, i.e., \""workability during the preparation of a coating material for fries,\"" \""function required of coating materials for fries (adhesion to ingredients)\"" and ...
A method for preparing a fish product. In the method, a slaughtered fish is filleted in pre-rigor state, skin is removed from the fillet in pre-rigor state, the skinless fillet is arranged in a pre-salting process in pre-rigor state and allowed to remain there for the pre-salting period, the fillet ...
