Fishery species that reside in no-take, marine reserves often show striking increases in size and abundance relative to harvested areas, with the potential for larval spillover to harvested populations. The benefits of spillover, however, may not be realized if the populations or habitats outside of reserves are too degraded. We quantified oyster population density and demographics such as recr...

There are several means to measure the oxidation of edible oils, such as the acid value, the peroxide value, and the anisidine value. However, these means require large quantities of reagents and are time-consuming tasks. Therefore, a more convenient and time-saving way to measure the oxidation of edible oils is required. In this report, an edible oil condition sensor was fabricated by using si...

Cannabinoid Dose and Label Accuracy in Edible Medical Cannabis Products As the use of cannabis (marijuana) for medical purposes has expanded, a variety of edible products for oral consumption hasbeendeveloped.Anestimated16%to26%ofpatientsusing medical cannabisconsumeedibleproducts.1,2Eventhoughoral consumption lacks theharmful by-products of smoking, difficult dose titration can result in overd...

this study is an attempt to evaluate the biomonitoring capabilities of rock oyster, saccostrea cucullata, for mercury (hg) pollution. the oyster and sediment samples were collected from 10 rocky habitats of qeshm and hormoz islands in the persian gulf. the concentration of mercury in the shell and soft tissues of the oysters and sediments were analyzed using an advanced mercury analyzer. biota-...

According to the low yield of edible fungus and the poor quality of edible fungi in factory, the production management situation in edible fungi factory was analyzed. Then the solution of edible fungi factory HACCP(Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) MIS(management information system) based on RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) technology was presented. Edible fungi production process by ...

Studies investigating microplastics (MPs) in marine species have been published over recent decades, including studies on depuration efficacy aquaculture products. This preliminary study investigates the of MPs two commercial oyster from Ireland. The innovative aspects are sampling size (n = 50 per species) and experiment duration (up to 96 h). case organisms Pacific (Magallana gigas) European ...

BACKGROUND An ethnobotanical study of wild edible plants was conducted in Burji District, Segan Area Zone of Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region, Ethiopia. The objective of the study was to identify and document wild edible plants and the associated ethnobotanical knowledge of the local people. METHODS Relevant ethnobotanical data focused on wild edible plants were collected us...

We have characterized in the oyster Crassostrea gigas an extracellular superoxide dismutase (Cg-EcSOD) which appears to bind lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The protein has been purified from the oyster plasma and identified as a Cu/ZnSOD according to its N-terminal sequencing and biological activity. Cg-EcSOD expression and synthesis are restricted to hemocytes as revealed by in situ hybridization ...

This study investigated the potential of RNA interference, which is technically challenging in bivalve mollusc species, to assess gene function in the oyster Crassostrea gigas. We designed dsRNA targeting the oyster vasa-like gene (Oyvlg), specifically expressed in oyster germ cells. In vivo injection of oyvl-dsRNA into the gonad provokes a knockdown phenotype corresponding to germ cell underpr...
