Abstract Sustainable agriculture intensification is an urgent challenge in developing countries including Tanzania. One potential solution is to adopt farming systems that increase farm production by optimizing resource use efficiency, and integrated aquaculture system, which involves farming of fish and crops, is an example of such systems.

Automatic hierarchical model builder
Abstract When building classification models of complex systems with many classes, the traditional chemometric approaches such as discriminant analysis or soft independent modeling of class analogy often fail. Some people resort to advanced deep neural network, but this is only an option if there is access to very many samples.

The main objective of this work was to obtain detailed information on the distribution and localization of the spexin (Spx) system in the sea bass brain. To this purpose, we first identified and characterized the spx1 gene and analyzed its expression in the central nervous system (CNS) of the European sea bass by using quantitative Real‐Time Polymerase

Properties of Calpain II from Tilapia Muscle (Tilapia nilotica×Tilapia aurea) [PDF]
The characteristics of calpain II (EC 3.4.22.17) were investigated in order to clarify the function of this enzyme in post-mortem fish muscle. Calpain II purified from tilapia muscle (Tilapia nilotica × Tilapia aurea) was activated by Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mn, but inhibited by Fe, Co., Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Hg ions.
