Testing of bivalve shellfish samples
We report the first detection of tetrodotoxins (TTX) in European bivalve shellfish. We demonstrate that TTX is present within the temperate waters of the United Kingdom, along the English Channel, and can accumulate in filter-feeding molluscs. The toxin is heat-stable and thus it cannot be eliminated during cooking. While quantified concentrations were low in comparison to published minimum let...
متن کاملEvaluation of stream sediment contamination by potentially toxic elements around mining and farming areas (SE Nigeria)
In this work, the concentrations of the potentially toxic elements in stream sediments in SE Nigeria were assessed for pollution monitoring in mining, quarrying, and farming areas. The levels of iron, molybdenum, vanadium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, manganese, chromium, barium, and beryllium were determined. The concentrations of the elements were in the order of Fe > Ba > Mn > Cr > Zn...
متن کاملProximate and Mineral Content of Traditional Smoked Fish Species from Lake Kainji, Nigeria
Investigation into proximate and mineral content of three commercially important fish species (Lates niloticus, Clarias anguillaris and Hemisynodontis membranaceus using the traditional smoked method was conducted. Proximate analysis showed significant differences (P< 0.05) among the fish samples. However, there was no significant difference in their mineral content. Crude protein in fish sampl...
متن کاملMicroencapsulated diets to improve bivalve shellfish aquaculture
Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector and feeds over 3 billion people. Bivalve shellfish aquaculture makes up 25% of global aquaculture production and is worth annually US$19 billion, but continued growth is currently limited by suboptimal diets and limited tools for disease control. New advances in microencapsulation technology could provide an effective way to overcome these biologic...
متن کاملProximate composition and energetic value of selected marine fish and shellfish from the West coast of Peninsular Malaysia
This study was conducted to determine the proximate composition and energetic value of selected marine fish and shellfish from the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This study has included 20 species of fish (10 pelagic fish and 10 demersal fish) and 4 species of shellfish. For pelagic fish, Longtail shad (terubuk) was found to contain significantly lower moisture (59.31+0.00%), but significan...
