Efforts to restore the native oyster Ostrea edulis and its associated habitats are gaining momentum across Europe. Several projects currently running or being planned. To maximize success of these, it is crucial draw on existing knowledge experience in order design, plan implement restoration activities a sustainable constructive approach. For development best practice recommendations promote multidimensional technology exchange, Native Oyster Restoration Alliance (NORA) was formed by...
Abstract Aquaculture is currently the fastest expanding global animal food production sector and a key future contributor to security. An increase in security will be dependent upon development improvement of sustainable practices. A prioritization exercise was undertaken, focusing on knowledge needs underpin UK aquaculture (both domestic imported products) using ‘task force’ group 36 ‘practitioners’ 12 ‘research scientists’ who have an active interest aquaculture. long list 264 related...
Abstract The Native Oyster Restoration Alliance (NORA) supports the protection and ecological restoration of native European oyster, Ostrea edulis , its habitat across current historical biogeographical range. NORA works to overcome barriers conservation, restoration, recovery oyster by providing a platform for community collaborate participate in knowledge exchange. seeks support responsible practice, compliance with biosecurity sustainability. Against this background, formulated series...
GAP31 (gelonium anti-HIV protein of 31 kDa) is an which we have identified and purified from a medicinal plant, Gelonium multiflorum. It capable inhibiting HIV-1 infection replication. also exhibits DNA topoisomerase inhibitor activity RNA N-glycosidase activity. The ability to interrupt both functions may be related its multiple antiviral actions. To define the roles these activities in action GAP31, series peptides corresponding N-terminal segment were synthesized assayed for...
The livelihoods of a large number farmers are associated with freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farming in gher (modified rice fields high, broad peripheral dikes) systems southwest Bangladesh. Most integrated fish and their followed extensive methods using low inputs. Although have improved social economic conditions through farming, constraints include high production costs, supply wild fry snail meat as feed, lack technical knowledge farmers, negative environmental impacts.
Ocean ecosystems have been subjected to anthropogenic influences for centuries, but the scale of past ecosystem changes is often unknown. For European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis), an engineer providing biogenic reef habitats, was a culturally and economically significant source food trade. These habitats are now functionally extinct, almost no memory where or at what scales this once existed, its form, remains. The described datasets present qualitative quantitative extracts from written...
Forty post-larval giant freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were weighed, measured, marked and placed in groups of 4. Social interactions screened daily, moults recorded the nature stability dominance characterised. Half for resting oxygen consumption before group formation. In most groups, one or two individuals ('dominants') consistently won majority which they involved, while others ('subordinates') lost; remainder classified as intermediate social status. Prawns lost more...
The African River prawn Macrobrachium vollenhovenii is the largest of local Palaemonidae prawns along Cameroonian coast and an important target species for fisheries aquaculture. A preliminary study on larviculture this was carried out at IRAD-AQUASOL hatchery in Kribi, Cameroon. Berried females M. were obtained from Lobe Lokoundje Rivers Southern Region, typical Lower Guinea rainforest streams. larval rearing system consisted a single recirculation four 65 L cylindrical plastic containers...
The tissue distribution of water-soluble, non-biodegradable co polymers prepared from N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) and N-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]acrylamide (HPEA) is described, their poten tial for use as carriers in drug delivery discussed. Copolymers with weight- average molecular weights (Mw) 4, 18, 75, 90 x 10 3 Daltons, low poly dispersity ( ≅M w /M n ≤ 1.40), were radiolabelled 125 I administered intravenously to mice. biodistribution the radioiodinated copolymers was...
Abstract. A survey was carried out in Karimun Jawa, a group of islands off the north coast Central Java, order (1) to investigate environmental effect collection giant clam shells used for floor tile manufacture, (2) distribution and abundance living populations Tridacna spp. determine whether larger species clams are still be found area (3) suitability this reseeding mariculture and/or fishery development. Results showed that T. gigas manufacture tiles did not have same damaging on coral...
Anthropogenic activities have impacted marine ecosystems at extraordinary scales. Biogenic reef built by the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) typically declined prior to scientific monitoring. Collating >1,600 records published over 350 years, we created a highly resolved (10km2) map of historical presence across its biogeographic range, including documenting abundant habitats along coasts France, Denmark, Ireland and United Kingdom. Areal extent data were available from just 26%...
