Stunning of edible crustaceans to reduce sensory perception prior and during slaughter is an important topic in animal welfare. The purpose this project was determine how neural circuits were affected stunning by examining the physiological function circuits. central nervous system circuit a cardiac or skeletal muscle response examined. Three commercially crustacean species utilized for immersion ice slurry below 4 °C electrocution; both practices are used seafood industry. blue crab...
ABSTRACT There is little information on predator–prey interactions in wind energy landscapes North America, especially among terrestrial vertebrates. Here, we evaluated how proximity to roads and turbines affect mesocarnivore visitation with desert tortoises ( Gopherus agassizii ) their burrows a landscape. In 2013, placed motion‐sensor cameras facing the entrances of 46 active tortoise 5.2‐km 2 facility near Palm Springs, California, USA. Cameras recorded images 35 species reptiles,...
Inland marine shrimp production is increasing in popularity as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) can provide a fresh, high-value product year-round to nearby consumer markets. However, artificial sea salt mixtures are required for inland production, which be substantial portion of the costs. The purpose this experiment was compare (L. vannamei) and water quality dynamics culture with various least cost (LCS) formulation commercial, complete (CSS) formulation. Previous research using...
Context Terrestrial reptiles require varied thermal environments to promote optimal physiological performance, growth, reproduction, and survival. Aims Our study was designed determine whether gap-based silvicultural practices offer suitable for eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina) by examining environmental temperature variation body of in, adjacent to, canopy gaps. Methods We recorded turtle from 20 radio-tracked temperatures (canopy gaps undisturbed habitat) using loggers June...
Inland production of marine shrimp provides high-quality to consumers. Artificial sea salts are added local water provide the essential minerals required by shrimp; however, commercial expensive. An experiment evaluated different combinations a homemade, least-cost salt mixture (LCS) and common (CSS). The LCS formulation was made using six salts: NaCl, MgSO4, MgCl2, CaCl2, KCl, NaHCO3. five treatments in this study were as follows: 100% LCS, 75/25% LCS/CSS, 50/50% 25/75% CSS; each treatment...
Abstract Context Camera trapping is increasingly used to collect information on wildlife occurrence and behaviour remotely. Not only does the technique provide insights into habitat use by species of interest, it also gathers non-target species. Aims We implemented ground-based camera investigate behaviours ground-dwelling birds, a that has largely been unutilised for studying especially in wind-energy facilities. Methods traps monitor activities Agassiz’s desert tortoises (Gopherus...
In temperate climates, aquaponic producers must use artificial lighting; however, purchasing light-emitting diode (LED) grow lights can be cost-prohibitive. Two trials evaluated low-cost LED lighting for the growth of bibb lettuce ( Lactuca sativa var. capitata ). trial 1, seven were screened and compared with a high-end light. The three best-performing in terms total plant biomass produced (grams) per unit electricity (grams square meter kilowatt-hour) more intensively 2. These included...
