The purpose of this paper is to present fish observation, detection, recognition and verification for processing video stream data in the real world. A distributed real-time high-definition underwater video stream system has been demonstrated in Taiwan for long-term fish observation. End users can real-time observe the high-definition underwater ecological environment via Internet. These video ...

A 2-day method using flow cytometry and FISH for interphase cells was developed to detect monosomy 7 cells in myelodysplastic syndrome patients. The method, Interphase Chromosome Flow-FISH (IC Flow-FISH), involves fixation of leukocytes from blood, membrane permeabilization, hybridization of cellular DNA with peptide nucleic acid probes with cells intact, and analysis by flow cytometry. Hundred...

Small teleost fish are increasingly used for studying the genetic basis of vision. In particular, zebrafish (Danio rerio) and medaka (Oryzias latipes) are commonly used vertebrate model organisms in developmental research, including research on the development of visual function. A multitude of behavior-based visual tests are established for larvae that have been successfully used to identify a...

Amphibian-like ranaviruses include pathogens of fish, amphibians, and reptiles that have recently evolved from a fish-infecting ancestor. The molecular determinants of host range and virulence in this group are largely unknown, and currently fish infection models are lacking. We show that European sheatfish virus (ESV) can productively infect zebrafish, causing a lethal pathology, and describe ...

BACKGROUND The U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved method for detecting EML4-ALK rearrangement is fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH); however, data supporting the use of immunohistochemistry (IHC) for that purpose are accumulating. Previous studies that compared FISH and IHC considered FISH the gold standard, but none compared data with the results of next-generation sequencing (N...

This paper firstly presents a short review on the current research of robotic fish. The construction of a simulation environment for robotic fish is then presented. The experiment results show that the simulator is a convenient way to develop and test the motion control algorithm for a robotic fish. Furthermore, a parameter optimising method for fish’s travelling wave approximation is proposed....

The quantification of abundance, size, and distribution of fish is critical to properly manage and protect marine ecosystems and regulate marine fisheries. Currently, fish surveys are conducted using fish tagging, scientific diving, and/or capture and release methods (i.e., net trawls), methods that are both costly and time consuming. Therefore, providing an automated way to conduct fish survey...

The most common commercial slaughter method for portion-sized rainbow trout is asphyxiation in ice slurry. This method is however widely believed to expose the fish to unnecessary pain and suffering. The industry is consequently seeking an alternative method, which offers improved welfare of the fish at slaughter. Electric stunning of fish in water is identified as a suitable method. Parameters...

this study aimed to identify barriers of hydrothermal fish business in golestan province. study was a descriptive survey. t he statistical population of the study consisted of all 147 aquaculture hydrothermal fish growers and all of them were selected using census method. information was gathered through a questionnaire which its face validity was confirmed by experts of agricultural extension ...

Knowledge of Hg speciation in tissue is valuable for assessing potential toxicological effects in fish. Direct Hg analyzers, which use thermal decomposition and atomic absorption spectrometry, have recently gained popularity for determining organic Hg after procedural solvent extraction from some environmental media, although quantitative recovery from lipid-rich materials, such as fish liver, ...
