This data article reports on the chemical properties of commercial fish sauce products associated with the fish sauce taste and flavor. All products were analyzed in triplicate. Dried solid content was analyzed by moisture analyzer. Fish sauce salinity was determined by a salt meter. pH was measured using a pH meter. The acidity was determined using a titration assay. Amino nitrogen and total n...

BACKGROUND A partially hydrolysed and dried product of pacific whiting fish is currently marketed as a health food supplement to support "intestinal health". However, there has been only limited scientific study regarding its true biological activity. AIMS We therefore tested its efficacy in a variety of models of epithelial injury and repair. METHODS Effects on proliferation were determine...

A study with a duration of 42 days was conducted to evaluate the influence of fish oil inclusion on performance parameters, serum lipid content, antibody responses to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and the composition of antigen and meat fatty acids in broilers. Two hundred and sixteen 1-day-old broiler chicks from a commercial hybrid (Cobb 500) were allocated randomly to four groups, which rece...

Groundwater radon levels of 83 Bq/L (2240 PC&) generated indoor radon levels >3300 Bq/m3 (89 pCi/L) at a commercial fish hatchery. Passive and active mitigation strategies to reduce the waterborne radon levels included a packed column, a waterfall through perforated grates, surface aeration, and bottom bubblers. Though waterborne co~centrations were reduced up to 83% using a combination of miti...

The use of carbon monoxide (CO) applied either as a single gas or a component in ‘tasteless smoke’ (TS) is increasing in both domestic and international fish commerce in the United States. Following initial investigations in the early 1960’s with modified atmospheric packaging and the traditional knowledge of fish smoking, commercial interest submitted petitions for regulatory recognition of th...

Most attention to the risks from fish consumption has focused on recreational anglers and on fish caught by individuals, but the majority of fish that people eat are purchased from commercial sources. We examined mercury levels in three types of fish (tuna, flounder, bluefish) commonly available in New Jersey stores, sampling different regions of the state, in communities with high and low per ...

A statewide economic survey of Hawaii’s fishing vessel operators was conducted in 1995–96. Survey topics fell into five groups: vessel characteristics, owners’ motivations, fishing operations, cost and revenue information, and operator demographics. Although this project was designed for and emphasizes the costs and earnings of commercial pelagic fishermen, information was also collected from r...

Concentrations of heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury and trace elements chromium, copper, nickel and zinc were tested in the muscle tissue of four commercial edible lethrinids fish species from different region of Mauritius. Sky emperor (Lethrinus mahsena) was collected from coastal regions as well as offshore regions (banks) for this study. Blackspot emperor (Lethrinus harak) and ...

background: paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide, widely used to control weeds in agriculture farms and aquatic plants in surface waters. paraquat can have adverse effects on the health of aquatic organisms. the aim of this study was to detect the alterations in the blood biochemical parameters of common carp exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of commercial formulations of paraquat. ...

Brazilian freshwater fish caught from large drainages like the River Amazon represent a million ton market in expansion, which is of enormous importance for export to other continents as exotic seafood. A guarantee of bacteriological safety is required for international exports that comprise a set of different bacteria but not any Pseudomonas. However, diarrhoea, infections and even septicaemia...
