Effects of Age, Fulton’s Condition Index (K) and Muscle Fat on Total Mercury Content in Raw, Pre-Canning and Canned Samples of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus)
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 30 samples Atlantic bluefin tuna were analysed for mercury concentration. Relationships between content and age, Fulton’s condition index (K) fat statistically evaluated. The effect muscle status (raw, pre-canning, canned) on was also investigated. average was: 1.185 ± 0.662 mg/kg in raw, 1.481 0.893 pre-canning 1.393 0.882 canned samples, respectively. Canning promotes a significant increase the concentration mercury. weight fish, K are useful tools to estimate accumulation tuna. results present study represent contribution assessment EU levels

متن کاملAge and Growth of Larval Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus Thynnus from The Gulf of Mexico
of a thesis at the University of Miami. Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) are the largest and most highly prized among the tuna family. They are highly pelagic, undertaking transoceanic migrations throughout the Atlantic, but the main spawning grounds are the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Given their mobility, management for this species is handled through international ...
متن کاملA validated description of age and growth of western Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus)
Current stock assessments of western Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) use age-structured population analyses, but the age assignment in the population model is made using an age–length relationship derived from mark and recapture studies largely completed during the 1970s. In our study, the deposition of bomb radiocarbon was used as a dated mark to validate age inferences of bluefin tuna...
متن کاملEcosystem effects of bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus thynnus aquaculture in the NW Mediterranean Sea
In recent decades the eastern stock of Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus thynnus has declined, driven by excessive catches partially mediated by the growth of the capturebased aquaculture of bluefin in the Mediterranean. This study addresses the potential direct and indirect food-web effects on trophic linkages in the ecosystem through the removal of both small pelagic fish species and wild...
متن کاملBurst Feeding of Pelagia noctiluca ephyrae on Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) Eggs
This study investigates the predation of P. noctiluca ephyrae on Atlantic Bluefin tuna (ABFT) eggs under different experimental conditions. The specific factors considered in the experimental design were: a) water mix conditions to explore predation under two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) prey distributions, b) prey density to investigate the ingestion rate capacity, and c) incuba...
