Age and growth of blackfin tuna (Thunnus atlanticus) caught under moored fish aggregating devices, around Martinique Island [PDF]
Daily growth increments measured in the otolith of Thunnus atlanticus were used to estimate the age and growth of individuals, which were sampled from an artisanal fishery operating around fish aggregating devices (FADs) moored off Martinique Island. In this study, 76 otoliths were analysed for fish ranging from 20 to 68 cm fork lengths (FL).

Impact of mercury released from permafrost on food safety in Switzerland
ABSTRACT Climate change has caused the permafrost to thaw, releasing the previously sequestered mercury into the environment. Mercury has the ability to convert to methylmercury, a bioaccumulative neurotoxin. Exposure occurs in humans through the ingestion of contaminated food and it is associated with adverse health effects.

Age, growth, and mortality of Blackfin Tuna in the Gulf of Mexico
Abstract Objective An otolith‐based aging approach was used to evaluate age and growth relationships, sexual dimorphism in growth, and derive mortality estimates for Blackfin Tuna Thunnus atlanticus in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Methods Blackfin Tuna (n = 395) were sampled from recreational fisheries and aged from 0 to 13 years, representing an increase

Location of S‐nitrosylated cysteines in protein three‐dimensional structures
Abstract Although S‐nitrosylation of cysteines is a common protein posttranslational modification, little is known about its three‐dimensional structural features. This paper describes a systematic survey of the data available in the Protein Data Bank. Several interesting observations could be made.
