DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF ADULT MUSSELS ON THE RETENTION AND FINE-SCALE DISTRIBUTION OF JUVENILE SEED MUSSELS AND BIOFOULING ORGANISMS IN LONG-LINE AQUACULTURE

Differential effects of adult mussels on the retention and fine-scale distribution of juvenile seed mussels and biofouling organisms in long-line aquaculture

The majority of juvenile seed mussels are lost in aquaculture production.Understanding the causes of the losses of seed mussels is critical to reducing uncertainties in mussel aquaculture production.One major cause of loss appears to be the secondary settlement behaviour of mussels, which is Gulper Floor Tool thought to be a behavioural process by

Effects of Dietary n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Selenomethionine on Meat Quality and Fatty Acid Composition in Finishing Pigs

The interaction between selenomethionine (SeMet) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) in producing n-3 PUFA-enriched pork remains unknown.This study investigates the effect of different n-3 PUFA sources (linseed oil vs.fish oil) and SeMet supplementation on meat quality and fatty acid composition in finishing pigs.Key findings demonstrate

Loading pattern of postoperative hallux valgus feet with and without transfer metatarsalgia: a case control study

Abstract Background Postoperative transfer metatarsalgia is a common complication after hallux valgus surgeries.Shortening of the first metatarsal is traditionally thought to WILD YAM be the primary cause of it.However, we speculate the abnormal loading pattern during gait is the real reason.This study is to determine specific differences in the lo
