Seabirds have been identified and used as indicators of ecosystem processes such as climate change and human activity in nearshore ecosystems around the globe. Temporal and spatial trends have been documented at large spatial scales, but few studies have examined more localized patterns of spatiotemporal ...
Selenium status of the Danish population is below that assumed optimal for the suggested protective effects against chronic diseases, including certain cancers. Fish and shellfish are important dietary sources of selenium in Denmark. We investigated the effect of increased fish and mussel intake on ...
Greece is the only European Union member state that in 2008 included hepatitis A (HAV) vaccine in the routine national childhood immunization program (NCIP). Given that the resources allocated to public health have dramatically decreased since 2008 and that Greece is a low endemicity country for the ...
Floating ponds for the cultivation of algae are disclosed. The floating ponds consist of a buoyant framework, a liner, a culture, and a mooring system. Submersible floating ponds are disclosed with a buoyant framework built from tubes that may be filled or partially filled with, for example, air, or ...
A fish farm construction for farming of fish is described, comprising a closed net cage (12) fastened to a floating collar (10) which is, at least, partially submersed in the water, and also, at least, one inlet pipe (14) for the supply of fresh water, where water is supplied to the net cage (12) with ...
A latching assembly for wellbore logging tools includes a bottom hole assembly to be disposed on a distal end of a drill string. The bottom hole assembly includes a landing sub having a bore with a latching mechanism that includes latch jaws and bias springs. The latch jaws can receive a landing shoulder. ...
An information system for nutritional substances obtains information regarding a nutritional substance from the creation of the nutritional substance, the preservation of the nutritional substance, the transformation of the nutritional substance, the conditioning of the nutritional substance, and the ...
Selection signatures are genomic regions harboring DNA sequences functionally involved in the genetic variation of traits subject to selection. Selection signatures have been intensively studied in recent years because of their relevance to evolutionary biology and their potential association with genes ...
The Mapputta serogroup tentatively contains the mosquito-associated viruses Mapputta, Maprik, Trubanaman and Gan Gan. Interestingly, this serogroup has previously been associated with an acute epidemic polyarthritis-like illness in humans; however, there has been no ensuing genetic characterisation. ...
The present invention is a knit or cloth glove that includes one or more additional protective layers attached thereto to improve the protective attributes of the glove as desired by the wearer. The protective layers are formed of materials that provide puncture, cut, chemical and water resistant properties ...
The invention relates to a reconnaissance and warning system for ships for protecting against pirate attacks, comprising a radar system for detecting and tracking targets, an infrared monitoring system for all-around operation, which scans the surrounding area all around the ship, and generates a visual ...
The present invention relates to a device (100) intended for signalling a boat or ship to the mooring, comprising a signalling means (300) which is deformable between an active geometry in the form of a sphere and a more or less elongate storage geometry, a rigid tubular sleeve (210) forming, firstly, ...
This paper introduces an efficient visual signal processing system to continuously control the feeding process of fish in aquaculture tanks. The aim is to improve the production profit in fish farms by controlling the amount of feed at an optimal rate. The automatic feeding control includes two components: ...
Background Ninh Binh province is known as an endemic area of fish-borne zoonotic trematode (FZT) transmission in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Gia Minh and Gia Thinh communes of Gia Vien district, Ninh Binh province to investigate the infections with different stages of FZT in various ...
What are the greatest sizes that the largest marine megafauna obtain? This is a simple question with a difficult and complex answer. Many of the largest-sized species occur in the world’s oceans. For many of these, rarity, remoteness, and quite simply the logistics of measuring these giants has made ...
Fisheries management agencies around the world collect age data for the purpose of assessing the status of natural resources in their jurisdiction. Estimates of mortality rates represent a key information to assess the sustainability of fish stocks exploitation. Contrary to medical research or manufacturing ...
Quantifying spatial genetic structure can reveal the relative influences of contemporary and historic factors underlying localized and regional patterns of genetic diversity and gene flow – important considerations for the development of effective conservation efforts. Using 10 polymorphic microsatellite ...
The Blue Mussel (Mytilus edulis, L. 1758) is an ecologically important and commercially relevant bivalve. Because of its ability to bioconcentrate xenobiotics, it is also a widespread sentinel species for environmental pollution, which has been used in ecotoxicological studies for biomarker assessment. ...
Abstract The National Wildlife Refuge system is a vital resource for the protection and conservation of biodiversity and biological integrity in the United States. Surveys were conducted to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of fish, macroinvertebrate, and crayfish populations in two watersheds ...
