Preventing Amyloid Formation by Catching Unfolded Transmembrane Segments
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2009A subset of protein misfolding diseases, including, for example, Alzheimer's disease, is associated with the formation of highly insoluble amyloid fibrils with a beta-sheet structure. The amyloidogenic human lung surfactant protein C (SP-C) is generated from SP-C precursor, which has a C-terminal domain (CTC) that prevents SP-C amyloid fibril formation.

Sea turtle by-catch in the Mediterranean
Fish and Fisheries, 2010Sea turtle by-catch data in the Mediterranean were reviewed and analysed with fishing effort. The results indicate over 132000 captures per year, with probably over 44000 incidental deaths per year, while many others are killed intentionally. Small vessels using set net, demersal longline or pelagic longline represent most of the Mediterranean fleet ...

Acoustic alarms to reduce cetacean by-catch
Proceedings of the 2004 International Symposium on Underwater Technology (IEEE Cat. No.04EX869), 2005Acoustic alarms, otherwise known as beacons or pingers, are designed to transmit certain sound patterns underwater as a deterrent effect on cetaceans in the vicinity of fishing nets. The device presented here has been successfully tested in Scotland and Denmark and has been shown to reduce the by-catch of harbour porpoises during a commercial fishing ...

Exploiting sensory ecology to reduce seabird by-catch
Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2007In a previous study, we reported that deploying small amounts of biogenic oil derived from the livers of school sharks (Galeorhinus galeus) was effective in reducing the numbers of seabirds attending fishing vessels and seabird diving activity in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand.

Modelling the impact of fishery by‐catches on albatross populations
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2001Summary 1 Several albatross species, including the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans, have shown marked declines in abundance throughout their range. These seabirds are frequently taken as by-catch in longline fisheries and this mortality has been implicated in the population declines.

By-Catch and discards: An Overview
Bycatch and discards non-target species caught and often discarded—pose serious threats to global fisheries, especially shrimp trawling, which alone contributes about 27% of global discards. Gear like trawls, gillnets, and longlines capture fish, turtles, seabirds, and marine mammals, disrupting ecosystems, damaging habitats, and threatening ...openaire +1 more source
