The data on linear growth and the scale annuli forming are generalized for pacific herring in Peter Great Bay. zone scales begins April-May, whereas of slow formed from October to January. phenological season active somatic also starts April-May this area, largest gains body length detected late summer — early autumn, ends by NovemberDecember. Size diversity young fish depends starting conditio...

Cormorants and other wildlife populations have come in real or perceived conflicts with humans over exploited fish stocks. From gut contents of cormorants, and using an extension of the Catch equation, we estimated the degree of short term competition between great cormorants and coastal fisheries in two areas along the Swedish Baltic Sea. Cormorants consumed 10 and 44%, in respective area, of ...

Health challenges are on the increase daily due to insufficient nutrient in body therefore there is a need solve problems. Therefore, this study determined proximate composition, sensory and microbial qualities of unripe plantain flour fortified with dry Herring fish (‘Shawa’). Unripe was mixed herring at different levels (100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15 80:20). Proximate composition loads flours wer...

Araucanian herring, Strangomera bentincki , is ecologically and economically important. Its complexity, like that of other pelagic fish, arises from seasonal population changes related to distribution with different spatial dynamics demographic fractions, subject strong environmental fishing exploitation variations. This implies the necessity for a thorough understanding biological processes, w...

We propose the concept of Accelerated Marine Extraction to signify two periods when rapidly increasing cod (Gadus morhua, Gadidae) and herring (Clupea harengus, Clupeidae) fisheries, c.1540–1600 c. 1730–1790, exceeded human demographic growth. Total landings vastly previous assessments more than doubled between 1520 1620 from about 220,000 metric tonnes (t) 460,000 t. Supplies European market p...

Fish and fish products contribute substantially to the human exposure to organohalogenated contaminants. In recent years, several organohalogen contaminant surveys on wild and farmed fish consumed in The Netherlands were carried out. This resulted in a substantial amount of data on the concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and –furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), h...

In this study, we attempted to test whether tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the first rate-limiting enzyme of catecholamine synthesis, is confined to the perikarya of activated magnocellular vasopressinergic (VPergic) neurons or is also present in their distal axons in the pituitary posterior lobe (PL). In addition, we evaluated the possible correlation between TH and VP turnover in the axons of rat...
