A noninvasive method to determine fat content in small fish based on swim bladder size estimation.
The presence of fat stores in fish is widely used as a correlate of fish health and fitness. Techniques to measure fat content with some accuracy are available for medium-sized and large fish, but apart from morphometric indices, a noninvasive method to determine fat content in small fish has hitherto been lacking. In this study, we introduce a novel method to measure the fat content in live fi...

Physiol. 221 (3) : 850458. 1971 .-Adipose tissue from various fat depots in four mammalian species was characterized in terms of mean fat cell size (diameter and volume), relative dispersion in fat cell size, and fat cell number by a method based o...
متن کاملDynamic modeling to determine production strategies in order to maximize net present worth in small and medium size companies
Determining production rate considering costs and revenues in order to maximize profit is one of the applied problems in small and medium size factories. Mostly existing models in production planning consider production system statically and specify production rate, although the factors determining production rate include many different changes in practice. In fact, by increasing the production...
متن کاملHow to Teach a Fish to Swim
We have developed a virtual fish tank in which computer users are represented by animated fish. The actions and interactions of the fish in the tank are meant to reflect the actions of users in the real world. Our first attempt at creating a programming environment that allowed people to customize their own fish did not work very well because users did not want to explicitly write programs to c...
متن کاملThe Secretion of Oxygen into the Swim-bladder of Fish
Fish were maintained in sea water equilibrated with a gas mixture containing a non-equilibrium mixture of the three molecular species of oxygen, O(18)-O(18) (mass 36), O(18)-O(16) (mass 34), and O(16)-O(16) (mass 32). Analyses in the mass spectrometer, of the gases secreted into the swim-bladder showed that no change in the relative abundance of these three molecular species had occurred during...
