Measuring Peripheral Tissue DHA Turnover Using a Novel 13C Enrichment Technique
ABSTRACT Recently, through the use of compound‐specific isotope analysis (CSIA), our lab validated the utility of 13C enrichment (δ13C) of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by using a very high δ13C in a diet switch study by measuring brain, liver, and plasma DHA turnover and half‐lives via high‐precision gas chromatography combustion isotope ratio mass ...

Abstract Zooplanktonic organisms are considered a key link between different trophic levels. The ecosystem structure and dynamics are affected by changes in their population and phenology. In this work, the causes and timing of changes within the seasonal cycle of zooplankton biomass vertical distribution in oceanic waters of the Bay of Biscay were ...

The intraspecific geographical variability of horse mackerel Trachurus trachurus (L.) in the West African shelf waters [PDF]
An attempt to distinguish local stocks of horse mackerel was made basing both on the comparison of morphological features of fish from three West African shelf regions (Ifni: 28°34′-29°52′N, Cap Blanc: 21°00 ...

Implications of fisheries during the spawning season for the sustainable management and recovery of depleted fish stocks: life history characteristics of several North Sea species [PDF]
Fish traders and NGOs have put the idea forward that in order to not disturb the spawning process and hence improve the reproductive success of a fish population one should stop fishing during the spawning period.
