Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) inhabits the entire North Pacific region and supports the third largest fishery after walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Although walleye pollock is often processed into various food products, Pacific and Atlantic cod are often preserved using salt for transport and consumption worldwide. Salt suppresses bacterial growth an...

In this paper, we consider empirical studies on fishery production efficiency of Zhoushan new district based on data envelope analysis (DEA)model of three–stage. The results show that environment variables and random factors do have an effect on fishery production of Zhoushan. The increase of urbanization level and the average year of population education are the favorable factors to improve fi...

Fishery products are types of commodity with various levels development including the addition food additives. They very susceptible to patogenic microbial contamination hence they can cause poisoning and disease outbreaks in consumers. In this study, tuna fish spiked Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes bacteria is examined for contamination. The examination these carried ...

Food contamination with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria is recognized as one of the public health concerns worldwide. Although fish and fishery products at retail in Japan have relied on imported materials, no apparent evidences exist prevalence property genetic transfer ESBL-producing those food specimens. This study aimed to investigate plasmid-mediated antibiotic-r...

Ecosystem services are the benefits that mankind obtains from natural ecosystems. Here we identify the key services provided by the Southern Ocean. These include provisioning of fishery products, nutrient cycling, climate regulation and the maintenance of biodiversity, with associated cultural and aesthetic benefits. Potential catch limits for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) alone are ...
