OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between fish consumption and subclinical brain abnormalities. METHODS In the population-based Cardiovascular Health Study, 3,660 participants age > or =65 underwent an MRI scan in 1992-1994. Five years later, 2,313 were scanned. Neuroradiologists assessed MRI scans in a standardized and blinded manner. Food frequency questionnaires were used to assess ...

BACKGROUND Results of observational and experimental studies investigating the association between intake of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) have been inconsistent. METHODS We studied the association of fish and the fish-derived n-3 PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with the risk of incident AF in individua...

Health of two farmed species of tuna was evaluated in farm surveys in Australia, Croatia and Spain. The results were discussed at tuna health workshop during EAFP 12th International Conference. While a wide range of parasites was found, few problems occurred during the surveys. The information obtained will be useful for future monitoring and research on health of farmed tuna. Introduction Fish...

Seascape ecology is an emerging discipline focused on understanding how features of the marine habitat influence the spatial distribution of marine species. However, there is still a gap in the development of concepts and techniques for its application in the marine pelagic realm, where there are no clear boundaries delimitating habitats. Here we demonstrate that pelagic seascape metrics define...

Much debate and subsequent confusion have recently been generated regarding the economic importance of the longline fisheries for tuna and swordfish in Hawaii. Depending on the methodology employed, the measures of the economic importance of these fisheries to Hawaii can vary significantly. This paper attempts to provide an assessment of the alternative measures and their implications for fishe...

The resting metabolic rates (R(R)) of western North Atlantic Ocean sciaenids, such as Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus, spot Leiostomus xanthurus and kingfishes Menticirrhus spp., as well as the active metabolic rates (R(A)) of M. undulatus and L. xanthurus were investigated to facilitate inter and intraspecific comparisons of their energetic ecology. The R(R) of M. undulatus and L. xan...

BACKGROUND Few studies have examined associations of fish consumption with ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk among older adults or how different types of fish meals relate to IHD risk. METHODS AND RESULTS In a population-based prospective cohort study, usual fish consumption was ascertained at baseline among 3910 adults aged > or =65 years and free of known cardiovascular disease in 1989 and ...

The impact of the covering vegetable oil (sunflower oil, refined olive and extra virgin EVOO) on physicochemical sensory profiles canned tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis species) was evaluated, using analytical techniques a panel. results showed that covered with EVOO possesses higher content total phenols an enhanced antioxidant capacity. This medium also increased appreciated redness-yellowness color...

In October 1998, the Pelagic Fisheries Research Program solicited new projects to be implemented in 1999. Approximately 25 letters of intent to submit proposal were received. The authors of the most promising letters were invited to submit full research proposals. External scientists reviewed the proposals, and approximately 15 were considered worthy of support. Financial constraints did not pe...
