Quality of life is an indicator of how well one perceives that he/she is functioning physically and mentally. The aim of this paper is to determine the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of artisanal fisherwomen/shellfish gatherers from the Saubara municipality in Bahia, Brazil in comparison to ...
The current paper discusses how 3-dimensional Forward Looking Sonar (3D FLS) technology can be used to improve the safety of navigation around offshore wind farms (OWFs). The authors make the case that although the use of 3D FLS is not widespread at present, the rapid growth in the number, and sizes ...
Offshore fishing is a common occupation providing the livelihood for tens of millions worldwide. Since each fishing trip takes 5-7 days, it could be a depressing and sometimes dangerous activity especially since the fishermen have no easy way to communicate with the mainland. Currently, there is no ...
This paper addresses the modeling and measurement of a small boat. In some fishing tasks, anchorage is not applicable in order to capture shellfishes or fishes efficiently. Currently, many fishermen are manually stabilizing boats simultaneously with the capturing task. We propose a boat modeling method ...
In this paper we propose an automatic marine life monitoring system. First task in the monitoring process is to detect underwater moving objects as fishes. Second Task is to identify the species of the detected fish. Third task is to track the detected fish to avoid multiple counting and record their ...
MY FIRST experience of fishing was at a very young age and the equipment involved consisted of a stick, some string, a bent pin and an unfortunate worm. This was used in a muddy pool which at the age of six passed for a 'pond'. Needless to say the catch was negligible i.e. one dead worm. Real anglers ...
Abstract Despite progress in reducing hunger and malnutrition since the 1990s, many still suffer from undernutrition and food insecurity, particularly women and young children, resulting in preterm birth, low birthweight and stunting, among other conditions. Helen Keller International (HKI) has addressed ...
Non-native species have often been linked with introduction of novel pathogens that spill over into native communities, and the amplification of the prevalence of native parasites. In the case of introduced generalist pathogens, their disease epidemiology in the extant communities remains poorly understood. ...
Aquatic environments are especially susceptible to anthropogenic chemical pollution. Yet although knowledge on the biological effects of pollutants on aquatic organisms is increasing, far less is known about how ecologically-important interspecific interactions are affected by chemicals. In particular, ...
This paper presents the fabrication and analysis of dual opto-sol sensor for continuous monitoring of pH and dissolved Oxygen(DO) using hybrid sol matrix. Compared to the conventional inorganic matrix, the hybrid matrix reduces the leaching of the sensor. Hybrid sol matrix is used to entrap the fluorescence ...
Our paper deals with the design and implementation of a novel LASER based security system for inland aquaculture such as Shrimp/prawn farming perspective to Bangladesh. The system implements LASER as a mean of detecting intruders. A wireless sensor network based on nRF24L01 trans-receiver is used to ...
The Shuanglong Tribe, located at the source of the Zhoushui River, is a typical Bunun tribe in Nantou County. In the Bunun language ""Shuanglong"" means a place of quietness or a piece of land covered by stones. The tribe enjoys the advantage of living in a mountainous region, as well as the plentiful ...
This thesis aims to increase the level of food safety information. The combining of food safety information, Internet of Things, triple-play environment and cloud computing is not only can obtain the first-hand information and data of food safety regulatory from the Internet of Things, but also can ...
Automatic detection of fish welfare related parameters is a very important step in the process of aquaculture production control. Poor handling, and lack of control of the state of the biomass in production plants, may lead to various disease outbreaks, chronic stress and physical trauma, which can ...
La falsificazione alimentare è una delle preoccupazioni socioeconomiche più articolate, che ha contribuito ad aumentare la consapevolezza delle persone su ciò che mangiano. L'identificazione delle specie rappresenta un aspetto chiave per denunciare le frodi commerciali attuate con la sostituzione di ...
A 28-days feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of histamine on digestive physiology of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. Four experimental diets were supplemented with histamine at 0, 1, 2, 4 g/kg. Histamine supplementation had no effect on growth. The activities of ...
Background Trematodes have a complex life cycle with animal host changes and alternation of parthenogenetic and hermaphrodite generations. The parthenogenetic generation of the worm (rediae) from the first intermediate host Littorina littorea was used for chromosome spreads production. Karyotype description ...
Introduction According to Joint National Committee-7 (JNC-7) guidelines, a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 120 to 139 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 80 to 89 mm Hg is considered as pre-hypertension. Existing evidence suggest that the cardiovascular morbidities are increasing among ...
Renibacterium salmoninarum is the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease, an important disease of farmed and wild salmonid fish worldwide. Despite the wide spatiotemporal distribution of this disease and habitat pressures ranging from the natural environment to aquaculture and rivers to marine ...
It is well known that the vast majority of seafood is captured or farmed in emerging countries and exported to developed countries. This has resulted in seafood being the number one traded food commodity in the world. Food safety is essential to this trade. Exporting countries should understand the ...
