The metabolic characteristics of the locomotory muscles of grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella).
It is not known precisely how marine mammals are able to maintain muscle function during active swimming in breath-hold dives, when ventilation stops and heart rate falls. Examination of muscle biochemistry and histochemistry can provide information on the relative importance of different metabolic pathways, the contractile potential of the muscle fibres, the oxygen storage capacity of the musc...
متن کاملGenetic variability in Guadalupe fur seals.
The Guadalupe fur seal (Arctocephalus townsendi) population underwent one or two severe bottlenecks due to commercial sealing in the late 19th century. Since then the protected population has been growing steadily around their only rookery, Isla de Guadalupe, Mexico. We probed both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes using multilocus nuclear DNA profiling and mitochondrial DNA sequencing to estim...
متن کاملContraceptive effect of proligestone on spotted seals and crossbreeds of spotted seals and harbor seals.
Spotted seals (Phoca largha) and related crossbreeds maintained at Kamogawa Sea World breed seasonally from the end of January to middle of March. For contraception in these animals, the effect of a single administration of a contraceptive synthetic luteal hormone for dogs, proligestone (PRG), was investigated. The animals tested were 10 seals aged 4-24 years old, and a total of 35 trials were ...
متن کاملBreeding season and embryonic diapause in crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophagus).
Direct observation of 387 embryos in the early stages of development was combined with observations on breeding behaviour and reproductive biology obtained from the published literature, to estimate the timing of births, oestrus, ovulation and implantation, and to derive estimates of the duration of pregnancy, embryonic diapause and active gestation for crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophagus). ...
متن کاملQuantum Seals
In this paper quantum seals will be introduced. A quantum seal is a way of encoding a classical message into quantum states, so that everybody can read the message error-free, but at the same time the sender and all intended readers who have some prior knowledge of the quantum seal, can check if the seal has been broken and the message read. The verification is done without reading nor disturbi...
