AC - Report - Aquatic organisms as human food

چکیده
Food security is concerned with the food supply. Nutrition status, however, depends not only on suitable food but also on good basic health services and, particularly for children and the elderly, adequate care. Malnutrition generally results not from a lack of food in the community (limited availability) but from the skewed distribution of the food that is available. The skew results mainly because some people are too poor or too powerless to make an adequate claim on the food that is available (limited access).

Binders are substances of natural or artificial origin and important in the production of aquatic diets. The binders increase the stability and ability to produce diets and prevent pellets from breaking down in water and during transport. Depending on the raw materials used, the method of making the diet and amount of milling used, the type of aquatic species, and the amount of milling, the typ...

متن کاملBioaccumulation, biotransformation and trophic transfer of arsenic in the aquatic food chain.
The occurrence, distribution, speciation, and biotransformation of arsenic in aquatic environment (marine and freshwater) have been studied extensively by several research groups during last couple of decades. However, most of those studies have been conducted in marine waters, and the results are available in a number of reviews. Speciation, bioaccumulation, and biotransformation of arsenic in...
متن کاملStudying the bioaccumulation of chemicals in aquatic organisms: PCBs in fish
PCBs are mixtures of chlorinated biphenyls with different degrees of chlorination, are hydrophobic chemicals, very persistent and bioaccumulative in aquatic organisms, especially in fishes that are at the end of the food chain and are the final receptors of toxicants. PCBs can be classified as narcotics: they produce no change in the biophase and elicit anesthetic reversible effects. Bioaccumul...
