In the Atlantic and Gulf states, the crab pot fishery overlaps with much of the habitat of the diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin. The exclusively estuarine terrapin can be found throughout the coastal bays and creeks of the eastern and Gulf coasts of the United States. Terrapin populations can incur considerable mortality of males and juveniles when crab pots are fished in terrapin habi...

In this study, morphometric measurement, meat yield, moisture, pH, protein, fat, fatty acids and ash content were determined in a total of 102 (15 female 87 male) freshwater crab (Potamon persicum Pretzmann,1962) caught from Aşağı Yukarı Çay Pertek, Tunceli. Meat yield male crabs found to be as 12.75±0.38% 10.93±0.32%, respectively. It has been observed that moisture protein amounts higher than...

Content of mercury in hepatopancreas, muscle and exoskeleton of blue crab T. prymna from Musa estuary and their relationship with size of the organism and season were determined. Mean concentration of mercury in hepatopancreas, muscle and exoskeleton were 1.23, 0.61 and 0.41 µg/g dw, respectively. There was significant difference (p<0.05) in mercury levels depending on the sex with greater ...

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections are increasing, and they are associated with an increased risk of mortality in hospitalized patients. Linear regression is commonly used to identify concurrent trends, but it cannot quantify the relationship between risk factors and resistance. We developed a model to quantify the impact of antibiotic consumption on the prevalence o...
