Combining biochemical methods to trace organic effluent from fish farms

Comparison of the performance of plant nano-hydrogels as bio-filters for nitrite uptake from effluent of fish farms

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of plant nano-gels as a new adsorbent and to remove nitrite at low cost. At first, plant nano-gels (nano bagasse, chitosan-functionalized nano-fiber and lignocellulose nano-fiber) were prepared by mechanical and top-down mechanism. Batch system medium was designed to measure the adsorbent optimum. Then isotherm and synthetic were calculated ...

Phenotypic and genetic diversity of motile aeromonads isolated from diseased fish and fish farms

Samples from the kidney of 100 diseased fish with signs of haemorrhagic septicemia and 50 samples from outlet water of fish farms were taken aseptically and cultured. In the laboratory, 75 colonies of gram-negative bacteria were biochemically diagnosed as motile aeromonads in our Bacteriology Laboratory Unit using API 20E rapid identification system. The genotype identification using specific p...

specialized methods to teach spelling: comparing three methods

چکیده: بررسی ادبیات مربوطه در کشور در زمینه یادگیری زبان انگلیسی نشان می‎دهد که علی‎رغم اهمیت املا در فرآیند یادگیری به طور عام و یادگیری زبان انگلیسی به طور خاص، این مولفه از جایگاهی متناسب با اهمیت آن برخوردار نیست و عمدتاً نادیده گرفته شده است. تحقیقات گسترده‎ای در خارج از کشور در مورد ماهیت این مولفه صورت گرفته است، در حالی که به جرأت می‎توان گفت در داخل کشور گامی در مورد درک ماهیت آن و فرآی...

Reproductive disruption in fish downstream from an estrogenic wastewater effluent.

To assess the impact of an estrogenic wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent on fish reproduction, white suckers (Catostomus commersoni) were collected from immediately upstream and downstream (effluent site) of the city of Boulder, CO, WWTP outfall. Gonadal intersex, altered sex ratios, reduced gonad size, disrupted ovarian and testicular histopathology, and vitellogenin induction consiste...
