Fish allergy is a worldwide problem, especially in industrialized countries where fish consumption is high. Fish contains a wide variety of proteins but, only few of them are responsible for triggering an allergic reaction. The major fish allergen, parvalbumin, is a low molecular weight (10-13 kD) heat-stable protein. High homology in amino acid sequences and antibody cross-reactivities have been demonstrated for parvalbumin in different fish species. Although several detection methods based on ...

Lethal toxicity values (96 h LC50; mg Cd/L) for the test species were similar: Lepomis cyanellus, 11.52; Notropis lutrensis, 6.62; Pimephales promelus, 3.58. However the effects of cadmium concentration and exposure time on temperature tolerance varied between species. Neither cadmium concentration nor exposure time had a significant effect on the CTM of green sunfish. Both cadmium concentration and exposure time had a significant effect on the CTMs of red shiners and fathead minnows. By day 10 ...

Thesis (Ph.D (Zoology)) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / Freshwater ecosystems are the most threatened systems globally, suffering from channel modification, over extraction of water and, of particular concern, pollution. In South Africa, Olifants River is categorised as the third most polluted river system. Acid mine drainage seeping from derelict and abandoned mines has been described as the primary stressor in the upper Olifants catchment. The increase of metal concentration in the water, sedi...

<p>Shade is defined as the coolness and darkness caused by shelter from solar radiation. In freshwater, shade is most commonly provided by riparian vegetation, which can affect water quality through its effects on temperature and light. The purpose of this research was to explore riparian shade influences on (1) fish distribution along reservoir littorals and (2) diel water quality patterns. Sampling was conducted in shaded and non-shaded paired sites in Columbus Lake, Mississippi, U.S.A. Differ...

A considerable amount of literature is available regarding various aspects of fish behaviour, anatomy, histology, dentition and feeding habits. Authoritative sources describe certain features and behavioural responses under experimental conditions of varying species o f fish and frequently lead one to assume that stated facts generally apply tc, all species. Detailed information regarding any one species Is scanty and a book of general teleost anatomy appears to be unavailable.

The dissertation thesis is focused on pelagic fish distribution in the large freshwater bodies and the main factors affecting it. Paper 1 describes fish behaviour in a mouth of a midwater trawl during different day time periods as fish activity may importantly affect abundance estimates of the sampled fish stock. Acoustically recorded avoidance behaviour in a vertical direction is described. The second part of the thesis refers to the diel distribution and behaviour of the pelagic fry communitie...

Previous estimates based on fisher surveys suggested that shark depredation is a concern locally and may distort fishing mortality estimates.

This dissertation examines the organizational aspects of fish and wildlife management for Native American nations. Fish and wildlife management is an arena of great importance to many Native nations in subsistence, economic and cultural realms. Additionally, fish and wildlife, being common-pool resources, offer interesting management challenges. My research focuses on what happens when Native American nations exercise self-determination in this arena which requires them for both political and...

The fish farming industry is today the second largest industry in Norway, second to the oil industry. These two major industries constitute the core of the Norwegian economy. A general belief is that the oil industry will decrease. Along with this the fish farming industry is believed to be the major industry, especially when it comes to exporting. The fish farming industry has to expand but one major issue is its sustainability. One step towards a more sustainable fish farming industry could be...

A fundamental problem in conservation biology and fisheries management is the ability to make educated decisions based on the data collected. Fish populations and their spatial distributions need to be represented accurately for conversation efforts and management decisions. Methods such as modeling, surveying, and tracking can all be used to collect data on a particular fishery. To include the movement patterns in conservation and management, one needs to work with and process fish tracking dat...

Widespread consumption of canned tuna fish since the 1950s may explain some of the increase in breast cancer prevalence in the United States and Europe. Although canned tuna is the primary source of human exposure to methylmercury, its role as an estrogen activating metalloestrogen has been overlooked in the etiology and incidence of breast cancer. Carcinogenic theory asserts that increased exposure to estrogen elevates the risk of breast cancer. The purpose of this population-based, case contro...

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Emerging global trends towards sustainable development have placed emphasis on the need to create sustainable food value chains. Many food value chains are becoming weakened through their reliance on eco-systems that are deteriorating. Furthermore, while food systems are under threat, global food consumption is on the rise. The conundrum seems inescapable. Humanity’s food supply methods have moved on from hunter-gatherer cha...

Since many of these facilities are not readily available, the use of fermentation as a means of preserving the product has been extensively practiced. However, the fermentation of fish is a time consuming practise and only by accelerating the process would it be possibl...

For marine fishes, the early larval phase is considered a critical stage for survivorship and recruitment. The spatial and temporal dynamics of larval fish assemblages can influence their success and trophic structure of marine communities and entire ecosystems. This thesis will provide the first characterization of larval fish assemblage in the Strait of Georgia (SoG) in terms of diversity, abundance and composition, and their variability over multiple temporal scales, as well as the first quan...

There have been no quantitative studies of fish species associated with the submarine canyons of the north east coast of South Africa. These canyons offer protection to coelacanths Latimeria chalumnae, fish of commercial importance, and a number of protected and endemic species. A fish survey was conducted by remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that captured video footage at depths between 60 m and 160 m. Seven canyons (Island Rock, South Island Rock, Wright, Jesser, Diepgat, Leadsman and Chaka) and...

The aim of this study was to evaluate fish habitat preferences in three various types of littoral habitats (beaches, rubble slopes and stumps). Data originated from four Czech canyon-shaped reservoirs. This study showed that habitats differed in biomass and abundance of fish as well as in species compositions. Patterns in biomass, abundance and species preferences were the same even under different community structures of sampled reservoirs.

The introduction, spread and concomitant impacts of non-native species are a global problem. Fish are among the most widely introduced vertebrate groups, with their impacts affecting multiple levels of organisation- from individuals, populations and communities, to entire ecosystems. In South Africa, the largest perceived threat to range-restricted endemic headwater stream fishes is said to be invasion by non-native fishes, however, as is the case elsewhere, invasive impacts are often a case of ...
