This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of live food (Artemia urmiana) and commercial diet in rearing of Oncorhynchus mykiss larvae. Experiment started when larvae were 0.12g in weight. Triplicate groups of fish were offered one of four treatments: (1) a commercial starter food (2) live Artemia urmiana nauplii (for 3 days) (3) live Artemia urmiana nauplii (for 7 days) and (4) combin...

Subseasonal forecast skill over the broadly defined North American (NAM), West African (WAM) and Asian (AM) summer monsoon regions is investigated using three Ensemble Prediction Systems (EPS) at sub-monthly lead times. Extended Logistic Regression (ELR) is used to produce probabilistic forecasts of weekly and week 3–4 averages of precipitation with starts in May–Aug, over the 1999–2010 period....

Ichthyoplankton data provide a base for research into population dynamics of major fishery species. Information on ichthyoplankton ecology forms an important component of stock assessment and fishery management plans. Also, nursery areas are important regions for the recruitment success of fishery stocks and as such, conservation of these areas is a key part of fishery management. Temporal dist...

five organo-phosphorous compounds were tested against lab-bred and wild caught larvae of ano pliclcs stcphclisi nrysorcnsis at the kazeroun medical research station, southern iran, during may-june, 1974. this study showed that as the larvae grew their tolerance to the insecticides tested increased up to 5 times more than that of day-old larvae. when iate 3rd and early 4th instal' larvae of wild...

The National Bee Unit, part of the Central Science Laboratory (an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Defra) has been developing novel techniques for detection of bee pathogens. Two different methods are under examination, an antibody-based test for identification of foulbrood diseases for use in the field, and a nucleotide-based laboratory test for virus...

The present work deals with the study of fish larvae of coral reef fishes in the Red Sea (Hurghada). It was aimed to study the spatial and temporal variations of fish larvae for management purposes. Sampling stations were chosen at Marina, Sheraton, Magawish and Arabia. The samples were taken monthly throughout the period of the study from August 2014 to July 2015 using plankton nets of differe...
