There are a growing number of large-scale, complex hydrologic models that capable simulating integrated surface and subsurface flow. Many coupled to land-surface energy balance models, biogeochemical ecological process atmospheric models. Although they being increasingly applied for prediction environmental understanding, very little formal verification and/or benchmarking these has been performed. Here we present the results an intercomparison study seven surface-subsurface based on series...
An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of a basal control diet (CON), Bacillus subtilis at 107 (BS7) and 108 CFU/g (BS8), Lactococcus lactis (LL7) (LL8), oxytetracycline (OTC) 4 g/kg on Nile tilapia. Fish with initial body weight 2.83 ± 0.05 g (mean SD) were fed two times day. Weight gain, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio lysozyme activity fish BS8, LL8 LL7 diets significantly higher than those CON (p < 0.05). Superoxide dismutase...
Abstract This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on water resources in a large watershed within Laurentian Great Lakes region, using fully integrated surface‐subsurface model HydroGeoSphere. The hydrologic is forced with an ensemble high‐resolution projections from Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. latter has been extended interactive lake (FLake) capture effect regional climate. WRF encompasses two different moist physics configurations at resolutions 90, 30, 10...
Abstract The impact of climate change on surface water resources is reasonably well studied. However, the groundwater has only been considered by a few studies worldwide. Here we present an analysis impacts in well‐instrumented 6,800‐km 2 watershed Laurentian Great Lakes Basin. We employ physics‐based modeling pipeline consisting ensemble high‐resolution regional model projections based Weather Research and Forecasting fully integrated three‐dimensional hydrologic HydroGeoSphere. run at...
The accurate characterization of fractured geologic medium, imaging fracture patterns and their connectivity have been a challenge for decades. Recently, hydraulic tomography has proposed as new method the conductivity ( K ) specific storage S s distributions media. While encouraging results obtained in field, not rigorously assessed controlled laboratory setting. In this study, we assess performance transient (THT) dolomitic rock block. block is characterized through flow‐through tests...
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary probiotics on growth, non-specific immune responses and disease resistance in juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Fish averaging 5.8 ± 0.8 g (mean SD) were fed one five experimental diets; control (Cont), four other diets prepared by supplementing single 1 (Bacillus subtilis; SP1, 0.5%), 2 licheniformis; SP2, multi-probiotics (B. subtilis + B. MP, 0.5%) oxytetracycline (OTC) at 5 OTC kg−1 diet. After 8 weeks...
Intestinal inflammation in farmed fish is a non-infectious disease that deserves attention because it major issue linked to carnivorous fishes. The current norm formulate feeds based on plant-derived substances, and the ingredients have antinutritional factors are known cause intestinal fishes such as Atlantic salmon. Hence, we studied inflammatory responses distal intestine of salmon received feed rich soybean derivatives, employing histology, transcriptomic flow cytometry techniques. fed...
The importance of fracture intersection mixing rules, complete and streamline routing, on simulated solute migration patterns in random networks is assessed. For this purpose, based geological evidence, two‐dimensional model having power law length distributions lognormal permeability are considered. Different network structures accounted for by the distribution, ranging from composed infinite fractures to percolation with constant fractures. Comparison particle statistics shows that there...
Abstract This study demonstrates the importance of including and appropriately parameterizing peatlands forestlands for basin‐scale integrated surface–subsurface models in northern boreal forest, with particular emphasis on Athabasca River Basin (ARB). With a long‐term water balance approach to ARB, we investigate reasons why downstream mean annual stream flow rates are consistently higher than upstream, despite subhumid deficit conditions regimes. A high‐resolution 3D variably saturated...
A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of two dietary probiotics; Bacillus subtilis KCTC 2217 or licheniformis KCCM 11775 with prebiotics; mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) fructooligosaccharide (FOS) in Japanese eel. Fish averaging 12.8 ± 0.47 g (mean SD) were randomly distributed into five treatments triplicate tanks. basal control diet (CON) and four synbiotic diets supplementing B. + MOS (BSM), FOS (BSF), (BLM), (BLF). Weight gain specific growth rate fish fed all...
Imaging flow cytometry (IFC) is a powerful tool which combines with digital microscopy to generate quantitative high-throughput imaging data. Despite various advantages of IFC over standard cytometry, widespread adoption this technology for studies in aquatic sciences limited, probably due the relatively high equipment cost, complexity image analysis-based data interpretation and lack core facilities trained personnel. Here, we describe application examine phagocytosis particles including...
Nutrient digestibility, growth, and mucosal barrier status of fish skin, gills, distal intestine were studied in Atlantic salmon fed feeds based on marine or plant-derived ingredients. The was assessed by considering the expression four mucin genes, five genes that encode antimicrobial proteins, micromorphology, design-based stereology midgut epithelium. In addition, head kidney leukocytes examined using flow cytometry; to understand differences their counts function. Five experimental...
Mercury as one of the most toxic elements can be present in organic or inorganic form marine fishes, which may cause a potential threat to public health. In this study, we investigated determine dietary (O-Hg) and (I-Hg) mercury threshold levels on induced toxicity juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthysolivaceus fish model. Twenty-eight averaging 3.1 ± 0.05 g (mean SD) were arbitrarily assigned each 27 tanks. Each tank was restricted triplicates nine experimental diets for eight weeks. The...
The ubiquitous presence of microplastics and their marine ecotoxicity are major public concerns. Microplastics ingested accidentally by the fauna or taken up indirectly through food chain. These particles can accumulate in cells tissues affect normal biological functions organisms, including defense mechanisms. There is limited information available about response immune to microplastics; degree uptake cells, different organs impact environmental concentrations microplastic matters that...
Development of robust reclamation designs would require understanding the relative effects climate change on water budget reclaimed Athabasca oil sands landforms (Alberta, Canada). A surplus is critical to sustain pit lakes and periodically freshen localized surface ponds within closure landscape. In this study, four hypothetical future scenarios were developed from statistically downscaled RCP2.6 RCP8.5 projections used in a hydrological model investigate potential an in-pit mine landform....
Abstract Snow algae blooms often form green or red coloured patches in melting alpine and polar snowfields worldwide, yet little is known about their biology, biogeography, species diversity. We investigated eight isolates collected from snow northern Norway, using a combination of morphology, 18S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) genetic markers. Phylogenetic ITS2 secondary structure analyses assigned six to the Raphidonema nivale, Deuterostichococcus epilithicus, Chloromonas...
