Octopus vulgaris is a species of great interest in research areas such as neurobiology, ethology, and ecology but also a candidate species for aquaculture as a food resource and for alleviating the fishing pressure on its wild populations. This study aimed to characterize the predatory behavior of O. vulgaris paralarvae and to quantify their digestive activity. Those processes were affordable u...

Previous studies have shown that food deserts (FDs) are associated with worse postoperative outcomes, low medication adherence, and decreased screening. We hypothesized similar to previous studies, FDs would be increased complications loss follow-up in a population undergoing endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). retrospectively analyzed single Veterans Administration Hospital for all pat...

Maize is the principal source of food for millions of people, particularly in Latin America and Africa. It is nonallergenic and mild in taste, and is therefore suitable for use as a basis for weaning food. Probiotics are live microbial feed or food supplements, which beneficially affect the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance. The first recorded probiotics were fermented milks pr...

Marine fish farm industries face ongoing challenges due to a lack of quality seed, low survival rate and slow growth marine larvae. One the most sensitive problems is nutritionally balanced feed for rearing these larval at first feeding stage. Many studies have reported high requirements n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, mainly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) docosahexaenoic (DHA) proper developm...

A surveillance program for influenza A viruses (H5N1) was conducted in live bird and food markets in central Thailand during July 2006-August 2007. Twelve subtype H5N1 viruses were isolated. The subtype H5N1 viruses circulating in the markets were genetically related to those that circulated in Thailand during 2004-2005.

Live eels and processed fish products from Malaysia are routinely checked for microbial pathogens before export to Japan. The eels and water from the ponds are screened for Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella spp, whereas the processed fish products are tested for microbial contamination (aerobic plate count), coliforms, E. coil and Vibrio cholerae. Results showed that live eels and water samples we...
