Generics are sentences such as “tigers are striped,” “lions have manes,” and “mosquitoes carry West Nile virus.” Generics express generalizations, but unlike quantified statements, generics do not carry information about howmany members of the kind or category have the property. For example, if asked “how many ravens are black?” one could reply “all [or some, or most, etc] ravens are black,” bu...

—The traditional view of habitat requirements for inland striped bass Morone saxatilis suggests that these fish need dissolved oxygen (DO) levels above 2–3 mg/L and temperatures below 258C to thrive. However, striped bass are found in reservoirs where hypolimnetic hypoxia forces them into warm temperatures (27–308C) for much of the summer, and contrary to expectations, these populations do not ...

Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and white bass (Morone chrysops) are the parental species of the hybrid striped bass, a major U.S. aquaculture species. Currently, genomic resources for striped bass, white bass, and their hybrid lag behind those of other aquaculture species. Current resources consist of a medium-density genetic linkage map and a well-annotated ovarian transcriptome. A well-annot...

Anisotropic states at half-filled third and higher Landau levels are investigated in the system with a finite electric current. We study the response of the striped Hall state and the anisotropic charge density wave (ACDW) state against the injected current using the effective action. Current distributions and a current dependence of the total energy are determined for both states. With no inje...

The effects of dietary nucleotide (NT) on growth performance and some haematological parameters of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) were investigated. Different levels of the NT (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1%) in the diet were used for 10 weeks starting on the fish weighted (1.52 ± 0.11 g). The results showed that NT supplementations did not improve final weight, weight gain, food conserv...

The deterioration of coastal habitats cascades to the decline associated fauna by reducing trophic resource availability, shelter from predators and nursery grounds. biogenic habitat structure, such as in kelp forests, coral reefs, mangroves or seagrass beds, often causes a local increase water flow velocity wave exposure. impact this change hydrodynamics on energy expenditure animals is largel...
