Passive immunization constitutes an emerging field of interest in aquaculture, particularly with the restrictions for antibiotic use. Enteromyxum leei is a myxozoan intestinal parasite that invades the paracellular space of the intestinal epithelium, producing a slow-progressing disease, leading to ...
Climate change is impacting fisheries worldwide with uncertain outcomes for food and nutritional security. Using management strategy evaluations for key US fisheries in the eastern Bering Sea we find that Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) measures forestall future declines under climate change ...
Abstract Brazil has five climatically distinct regions, with an annual average temperature difference up to 14 ºC between the northern and southern extremes. Environmental variation of this magnitude can lead to new genetic patterns among farmed fish populations. Genetically differentiated populations ...
Small island states receive unprecedented amounts of the world’s plastic waste. In March 2019, we removed as much plastic litter as possible from Aldabra Atoll, a remote UNESCO World Heritage Site, and estimated the money and effort required to remove the remaining debris. We removed 25 tonnes at a ...
In South America the inland waterway transport is widely used in intermediate and minor cities located on the sides of big rivers. This is the case of the Magdalena river, in Colombia, which has been traditionally used for freight and passengers transport between communities with difficult land access. ...
The androgenic gland (AG)–a unique crustacean endocrine organ that secretes factors such as the insulin-like androgenic gland (IAG) hormone—is a key player in crustacean sex differentiation processes. IAG expression induces masculinization, while the absence of the AG or a deficiency in IAG expression ...
B cell responses are a crucial part of the adaptive immune response to viral infection. Infection by salmonid alphavirus subtype 3 (SAV3) causes pancreas disease (PD) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and is a serious concern to the aquaculture industry. In this study, we have used intraperitoneal (IP) ...
Il progetto AQUAFAANG (Advancing Europe Aquaculture by Genome Functional Annotation) ha lo scopo di migliorare la comprensione della funzione del genoma nelle sei specie di pesci d'allevamento più importanti dal punto di vista commerciale in Europa, ovvero il salmone atlantico, la trota iridea, il branzino, ...
L’obiettivo di questo progetto è studiare l'efficienza di un sistema di purificazione intelligente per migliorare la qualità dell'acqua, la produzione di pesci e la sostenibilità ambientale nei sistemi di acquacoltura, attraverso la bonifica dei composti contenenti azoto nell'acqua e l'azione biocida ...
Control system for boats, comprising a direction control system and an acceleration/deceleration control system of at least one propulsion unit, the direction control system comprising at least one directional control member and the acceleration/deceleration control system comprising at least one acceleration/deceleration ...
Method for sending the value of a status variable between a remote control sender system comprising a sending device (100) and an activation receiver system comprising a receiving device (201) as a part of a standardized binary coded radio message within a distributed communication system of AIS (Automatic ...
Low-bandwidth communication, such as underwater acoustic communication, is limited by best-case data rates of 30--50 kbit/s. This renders such channels unusable or inefficient at best for single image, video, or other bandwidth-demanding sensor-data transmission. To combat data-transmission bottlenecks, ...
The Ostreid herpesvirus 1 species affects shellfish, contributing significantly to high economic losses during production. To counteract the threat related to mortality, there is a need for the development of novel point-of-care testing (POCT) that can be implemented in aquaculture production to prevent ...
Nutritive compositions containing an organism having attenuated or no poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) production are provided. These nutritive compositions are useful as feed, such as animal feed and feed additives for ruminants, non-ruminants and aquaculture, etc. Materials and methods for production of these ...
Abstract. The campaign to eradicate dracunculiasis (Guinea worm [GW] disease) and its causative pathogen Dracunculus medinensis (GW) in Chad is challenged by infections in domestic dogs, which far outnumber the dwindling number of human infections. We present an agent-based simulation that models transmission ...
Macphail’s comparative approach to intelligence focused on associative processes, an orientation inconsistent with more multifaceted lay and scientific understandings of the term. His ultimate emphasis on associative processes indicated few differences in intelligence among vertebrates. We explore options ...
Biological invasions are responsible for tremendous impacts globally, including huge economic losses and management expenditures. Efficiently mitigating this major driver of global change requires the improvement of public awareness and policy regarding its substantial impacts on our socio-ecosystems. ...
Zooplankton biomass data have been collected in Australian waters since the 1930s, yet most datasets have been unavailable to the research community. We have searched archives, scanned the primary and grey literature, and contacted researchers, to collate 49187 records of marine zooplankton biomass ...
Abstract Evaluating the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance on free-ranging marine mammal populations, many of which are in decline, requires robust diagnostic markers of physiological stress and health. However, circulating levels of canonical ‘stress hormones’ such as glucocorticoids, which are ...
