Antibiotic Treatment of Crab and Oyster Meats1

چکیده
Catalase present in the suspending medium during irradiation significantly reduced the lethal action of gamma radiation from cobalt6O for anaerobic bacterial spores. This finding supports the theory that the lethal action of ionizing radiations is at least partially due to secondary effects of the irradiation. Furthermore, such protection of anaerobic bacterial spores is important when sterilization of foods containing catalase is considered inasmuch as it will likely increase the dosage required.

Use of Natural Antimicrobial Peptides and Bacterial Biopolymers for Cultured Pearl Production
Cultured pearls are the product of grafting and rearing of Pinctada margaritifera pearl oysters in their natural environment. Nucleus rejections and oyster mortality appear to result from bacterial infections or from an inappropriate grafting practice. To reduce the impact of bacterial infections, synthetic antibiotics have been applied during the grafting practice. However, the use of such ant...
متن کاملIntertidal rack-and-bag oyster farms have limited interaction with horseshoe crab activity in New Jersey, USA
Concern has been raised about the ability of horseshoe crabs Limulus polyphemus to traverse intertidal rack-and-bag oyster farms, and how farms may change shorebird foraging activity. During the 2016 horseshoe crab spawning season, experiments conducted in Delaware Bay (New Jersey, USA) assessed the ability of crabs to move among oyster farms and access landward nesting grounds, and surveyed th...
متن کاملPredator Cue and Prey Density Interactively Influence Indirect Effects on Basal Resources in Intertidal Oyster Reefs
Predators can influence prey abundance and traits by direct consumption, as well as by non-consumptive effects of visual, olfactory, or tactile cues. The strength of these non-consumptive effects (NCEs) can be influenced by a variety of factors, including predator foraging mode, temporal variation in predator cues, and the density of competing prey. Testing the relative importance of these fact...

Blue crabs Callinectes sapidus (Rathbun, 1896) > 100 mm carapace width were sampled from a constructed oyster reef (1996 and 1997), a sand bar (1997) and a natural oyster bar (1997) in the piankatank River, Chesapeake Bay, USA to describe habitat use, sex ratios, and demographics across a gradient of habitat types. patterns of blue crab catch-per-unit-effort (CpUE), and demographics were simila...
متن کاملHabitat complexity influences cascading effects of multiple predators.
Although multiple predator effects and trophic cascades have both been demonstrated in a wide variety of ecosystems, ecologists have yet to incorporate these studies into an experimental framework that also manipulates a common and likely important factor, spatial heterogeneity. We manipulated habitat complexity, the presence of two top predators (toadfish and blue crabs), and one intermediate ...
