Ebonyi River basin of south east Nigeria is home to the freshwater crab Potamon ebonyicum, which are consumed indiscriminately by inhabitants and tourists. Bulk of the crab meat is obtained by crabbing. A preliminary survey of pathogenic bacteria associated with vulnerable morphological part of the crab species was carried out in the basin. Bacteria were isolated from abdominal flaps of the mal...

Fatty acids composition in edible parts of Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus) caught in the Persian Gulf close to the Bushehr Province were investigated. Among saturated fatty acids (SFA), the 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids were the most two dominant fatty acids in meat tissues that analyzed. 18:1n-9 and 16:1n-7 were the major fatty acids among the MUFAs of male and female crab. The main PUFAs ...

crabs of intertidal zone of a muddy shore in bandar abbas were studied using monthly examination of goharshad and terminal stations during august 2005 to july 2006. sampling was done by corer and 14 species from 6 families were identified. crabs were from ocypodidae, pinnotheridae, pilumnidae, trapeziidae, leucosiidae and varunidae families. results showed ocypodidae, the most abundant and dive...

the size composition, growth pattern, sex ratio and feeding habits of the blue swimming crab, portunus segnis from persian gulf in south of iran, was studied. sampling was performed by trawl net during a one- year period (july 2011 to may 2012) as processed 864 crabs was collection. the crabs carapace width ranged were from 7.5-17.5 cm for males and 7.0-16.5 cm for females. the crab carapace le...

We present the results of deep, high-resolution, multi-band optical observations of the field of the young (∼ 5, 000 yrs) 16 ms X-ray pulsar PSR J0537−6910 performed with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Although a few new potential counterparts have been detected within or close to the revised Chandra X-ray error circle (≃ 1′′) of the pulsar, only ...

During its life, BeppoSAX observed several isolated pulsars, giving important contributions to the knowledge of the phenomenology and properties of the X-ray emission from this class of sources. In this paper I review the spectral and timing results obtained from BeppoSAX observations. In particular, results on three Crab-like (Crab, PSR B1509-58 and PSR B0540-69) and 3 millisecond pulsars (PSR...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of snow crab sensitisation and occupational asthma. STUDY DESIGN Prevalence study of symptoms, pulmonary function testing and allergy testing to crab was conducted in four crab plants of different design in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. METHODS Plants workers in four crab plants were interviewed and offered skin testing, R...

| The Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory has completed 4 years of observations comprising a full-sky survey and several deep pointings. The Crab is one of the strongest permanent sources in the CGRO energy range (20 keV to 10 GeV). Its total (pulsed and unpulsed) emission is often used as a calibration standard. We present the results of an analysis of data from all four CGRO instruments obtained du...
