A decreasing trend in narwhal (Monodon monoceros Linnaeus, 1758) abundance has been identified a small population Scoresby Sound, Southeast Greenland. We hypothesize that excessive hunting affected life history and dynamics of this population. Biological information samples collected from the Inuit hunt, satellite-tagged narwhals official hunters’ reports, were used to estimate age, growth, rep...

Abstract We present and analyze observations of polarized dust emission at 850 μ m toward the central 1 × pc hub-filament structure Monoceros R2 (Mon R2). The data are obtained with SCUBA-2/POL-2 on James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) as part B-fields in Star-forming Region Observations survey. orientations magnetic field follow spiral Mon R2, which well described by an axisymmetric model. est...

This study was conducted to determine the cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol contents of 20 marine fish and four other seafood from the Straits of Malacca. Cholesterol and alphatocopherol contents of the fish and other seafood were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that most of the fish contained low amounts of cholesterol, except sixbar grouper (Epinephe...

Slow growth caused by viral diseases has become a major constraint in shrimp aquaculture. Laem-Singh virus (LSNV), a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus, has been identified in Penaeus monodon showing slow growth syndrome. To examine the host-range and transmission modes of the virus, 6 species of penaeid shrimp of varying life stages, sourced from the wild and from farms, as well ...
