Characteristics of some digestive enzymes in sobaity, Sparidentex hasta
Background: Determination of digestive enzymes activity would provide critical information in the design of appropriate diet. Sobaity, Sparidentex hasta is found in the Persian Gulf and cultured in countries adjacent to it. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated proteolytic, amylase and lipase activities in the intestine of Sparidentex hasta captured from the Persian Gulf. METHODS: 60 immature S...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for the Control and Eradication of a Wood Boring Beetle Infestation
We propose a mathematical model for an infestation of a wooded area by a beetle species in which the larva develop deep in the wood of living trees. Due to the difficulties of detection, we presume that only a certain proportion of infested trees will be detected and that detection, if it happens, will occur only after some delay, which could be long. An infested tree once detected is immediate...
متن کاملInvestigation of pancreatic digestive enzymes changes from egg to larvae phase of Schizothorax zarudnyi
In order to identify trends and provide suitable diet for Schizothorax zarudnyi, the activity of alpha-amylase, trypsin, and lipase in five treatment groups including: fertilized egg, newly-hatched larvae, the larvae a day, larvae absorbed in the bag 2/ 3 yolk and absorption of yolk sac larvae, in 20 embryonated eggs and 80 larvae at the end of 53 days were studied. Analysis of the data showed ...
متن کاملPredator-Prey Interactions between Shell-Boring Beetle Larvae and Rock-Dwelling Land Snails
Drilus beetle larvae (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are specialized predators of land snails. Here, we describe various aspects of the predator-prey interactions between multiple Drilus species attacking multiple Albinaria (Gastropoda: Clausiliidae) species in Greece. We observe that Drilus species may be facultative or obligate Albinaria-specialists. We map geographically varying predation rates in ...
متن کاملChemical Ecology of Wood-boring Insects
The roles and chemistry of pheromones that mediate reproductive behaviors of cerambycid beetles have received remarkably little attention, given the economic importance of many cerambycid species. Until recently, very few volatile sex pheromones and nonvolatile contact pheromones had been identified. However, that situation is changing rapidly, with the number of identified pheromones more than...
