ABSTRACT A multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) assay was developed for epizootiological study of the internationally significant fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri, which causes yersiniosis in salmonids. The assay involves amplification of 10 variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) loci ...
ABSTRACT The microbiome has a crucial influence on host phenotype and is of broad interest to ecological and evolutionary research. Yet, the extent of variation that occurs in the microbiome within and between populations is unclear. We characterized the skin and gut microbiomes of seven populations ...
The island of Mayotte is a department of France, an outermost region of the European Union located in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and the coast of Eastern Africa. Due to its close connection to the African mainland and neighbouring islands, the island is under constant threat of introduction ...
The carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) family includes CPT 1 and CPT 2 that transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial compartment for β-oxidation. In this study, three isoforms (CPT 1α, CPT 1β and CPT 2) of the CPT family were cloned from Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) and ...
Changing climatic conditions present new challenges for agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa. Sorghum has proven to be an adaptable and resilient crop despite limited funding for crop development. Recent breeding efforts target hybrid and perennial technologies that may facilitate adaptation ...
Pharmaceuticals have been considered ‘contaminants of emerging concern’ for more than 20 years. In that time, many laboratory studies have sought to identify hazard and assess risk in the aquatic environment, whilst field studies have searched for targeted candidates and occurrence trends using advanced ...
The treatment of high-strength anaerobic digester effluent in laboratory-scale trickling filters for nitrification and then anaerobic filters for denitrification is reported. Five media types were investigated in the trickling filters: biochar, granular activated carbon (GAC), zeolite, Pall rings, and ...
THE FIRST THING anyone knows about giant squid is that they are, well, giant. Yet coming face to mantle with Archie, a young female, I am dumbstruck by her size.
This paper uses general regression neural network (GRNN) to predict dissolved oxygen in water of fish farm for aquaculture. In Taiwan, aquaculture is one of main economic activities. In here, an important issue is how to keep dissolved oxygen in water of fish farm in normal range. Most aquaculture operators ...
The accelerating process of urbanization has expanded the citizens’ demands of integral NIMBY(Not-In-My-Back-Yard) facilities in their daily life, which in turn leads to a series of NIMBY conflicts, thus affected social stability as well as the effective construction of public facilities severely. The ...
Stand-alone photovoltaic systems operate inefficiently especially in South Africa, because of the inherent temperature rise in such panels. A prototype Modular Solar Powered Aquaponics System (MSPAS), which was developed for boosting food security in needy communities, makes use of harvested solar energy ...

The main objective of the thesis is to develop a radio frequency identification (RFID) system to transmit energy between a tag located on a free-swimming fish in an aquaculture tank and a base station located outside the tank. The RFID system operates at the frequency of 134.2 kHz. In particular, in ...
Fisheries commodities are categorized as high perishables products, therefore these products need a specific handling to keep the quality until delivered to processing industries or used by end consumer. For this we need a logistics and supply chain approach to manage the products flow and cost and ...
Supply chain catchment sea-fish requires good management in order to produce good quality of fish and high selling price. As the logistics costs incur from each tier along the supply chain, it must be managed to control and balance the quality and quantity with the price of fish along the supply chain. ...
The present work develops an automatic system that allows the counting and the measuring of a population of gray tilapia fingerlings. At the present, the processes for calculate the geometric dimensions of the fish, have a great subjectivity and spend a lot of time. In addition, the fingerling could ...
Wirelessly networked systems of underwater devices are becoming the basis of many commercial, scientific, and military applications. In spite of increased attention in the last few years, underwater wireless networking technology still suffers from major limitations, including severe hardware dependence. ...
A wireless mobile environmental monitoring system based on spherical amphibious robots is proposed in this paper, which is used to monitor environmental data in aquaculture. The control interface is designed by using labViewto display the collected environmental data. The XBee module is used to realize ...
