Abstract Monitoring seabird diet can provide insights into marine ecosystems that are logistically difficult or costly to observe with traditional fisheries survey methods. Using digital photography, we described the of greater crested terns ( Thalasseus bergii ) breeding on Montague Island (36°15′ S, 150°13′ E), a colony located in an oceanographically dynamic region southeast Australia. We in...

Abstract Traditional dried anchovy processing from the Kei archipelago is very simple that only through process of drying by spreading fish on net or tarpaulins side road under direct sunlight. The purpose this study was to profile traditional product Selayar Village, Southeast Maluku, including processors, businesses, and constraints faced. This used a descriptive method describe anchovy, proc...

Anchovies are among the largest fish catch worldwide. The anchovy fillet industry generates a huge amount of biowaste (e.g., heads, bones, tails) that can be used for extraction several potentially valuable bioproducts including omega-3 lipids. Following valued oil rich in omega-3, vitamin D3 and zeaxanthin from leftovers using biobased limonene fully circular process, solid residue (anchovy sl...

The objectives of this study were to investigate the status of vitamin D in Korean adolescents and to determine the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration and consumption frequencies of vitamin D food sources by season (June to November and December to May). The subjects were 1,579 adolescents aged 12-18 years participating in the 2008-2009 Korean National Health ...

Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of various factors on the activity and conformation of recombinant leucine aminopeptidase of Bacillus kaustophilus CCRC 11223 (BkLAP) and potential utilization of BkLAP in the hydrolysis of anchovy protein. Optimal temperature and pH of BkLAP were 70 °C and 8.0 in potassium-phosphate buffer, respectively, and the activity was strongly stim...

BACKGROUND Fish is a potent food allergen. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that dogfish, a small shark, has low allergenicity in both its clinical tolerance as well as its molecular structure. METHODS We present a study of 34 paediatric patients with IgE-mediated immediate reactions after eating fish. The diagnosis of several fish allergies was demonstrated by skin prick techniques and...

A environment-friendly microwave-assisted extraction used to extract trace mercury compounds from fish samples, and a ultra-sensitive method for the analysis of Hg(II), methylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg) by using capillary electrophoresis-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS) were described in this study. The extraction method is environment-friendly, simple, effect...

Biological and physical surveys were conducted in order to investigate the relationship between environmental conditions and the distribution of ichthyoplankton and jellyfish, and dietary overlap between the ichthyoplankton and jellyfish in the Seto Inland Sea (SIS), Japan. Ichthyoplankton, copepods, and jellyfish were collected during two cruises in July 2005 in the Sea of Hiuchi and in July 2...

Evidence supporting the occurrence of starving larval fish in the ocean was mainly circumstantial (May, 1974; Jones and Hall, 1974: Lasker, 1975) until recently, when the presence of starving ocean-caught larval northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax, was documented using histological criteria (O'Connell, 1980). Subsequently, using similar criteria, Theilacker (1986) quantified starvation-induced m...
