Effect of Fish Meal Replacement with Aqupro on Nutrition and Blood Indices in Fingerling Rainbow trout
The current study was carries out to determine the effect of fish meal replacement with Aqupro on growth, blood indices and liver enzymes activities in fingerling rainbow trout. Number of 540 fish (18 g) were randomly distributed in 18 fiberglass tanks (250 l capacity) and five isoproteic diets were formulated. The fish meal inclusion reduced from 50 percent in diet one to 10 percent in diet fi...
متن کاملDetecting multiple DNA human profile from a mosquito blood meal.
Criminal traces commonly found at crime scenes may present mixtures from two or more individuals. The scene of the crime is important for the collection of various types of traces in order to find the perpetrator of the crime. Thus, we propose that hematophagous mosquitoes found at crime scenes can be used to perform genetic testing of human blood and aid in suspect investigation. The aim of th...
متن کاملRegulation of blood meal size in the mosquito.
In order to determine the r61e played by the central nervous system in regulating blood meal size, the ventral nerve cord was cut at various sites along its length in the female mosquito, Aedes aegypti. When the cord was cut anterior to the second abdominal ganglion, massive hyperphagia resulted, many females ruptured, and blood intake was more than four times that of the untreated controls. As...
متن کاملFinancing Long-term Care: The Role of Culture and Social Norms; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”
Based on the experiences of Japan and Germany, Ikegami argues that middle-income countries should introduce public long-term care insurance (LTCi) at an early stage, before benefits have expanded as a result of ad hoc policy decisions to win popular support. The experience of the Netherlands, however, shows that an early introduction of public LTCi may not prevent, but ...
متن کاملResistance Gene Replacement in the mosquito Culex pipiens: fitness estimation from long-term cline series.
How adaptation appears and is later refined by natural selection has been the object of intense theoretical work. However, the testing of these theories is limited by our ability to estimate the strength of natural selection in nature. Using a long-term cline series, we estimate the selection coefficients acting on different alleles at the same locus to analyze the allele replacement observed i...
