Debates about the importance of marsh resources to prehistoric hwnan subsistence in the western Great Basin are longstanding. Recent questions regarding the natural vs.cultural origin offISh remains in lakeside archaeological sitesjllrther impede understanding of ancient subsistence patterns. Taphonamic study of a huge assemblage of tui chub (Gila bicolor) remains from an archaeological site in...

The aim of the present experiment was to investigate the effect of two different dietary types of oil (fish oil (FI) and olive oil (OL)) on the pigmenting efficacy of astaxanthin from the green micro-algae Haematococcus pluvialis (ALG) (total amount of carotenoid pigments 32 mg kg on a dry weight basis of which astaxanthin accounted for 98.6%) and from the synthetic astaxanthin (AST) in terms o...

Abstract In this article we investigate the importance of freshwater fishing during Mesolithic in France, inland sites where was always associated with big game hunting. We present a review that have yielded fish remains and focus on case study from an occupation dated to eighth millennium BC at Les Cabônes rock shelter, located near Doubs River, over 9,300 remains. Cyprinid (including bream, r...

BACKGROUND In esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), concordance and prognostic significance of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER-2) protein overexpression and gene amplification are equivocal, which led us to reevaluate this by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization. METHODS One hundred and fifty-four patients were included in a tissue micro array (TMA). HER-2 gene amplification w...

We have developed a fast, simple, and accurate DNA-based screening method to identify the fish species present in fresh and processed seafood samples. This versatile method employs PCR amplification of genomic DNA extracted from fish samples, followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis to generate fragment patterns that can be resolved on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer an...

Fermented fish food products have been extensively studied in Asia's fermented food culture. We have attempted to categorize the different types of fermented fish products seen in some of the Asian countries as part of a cultural context indicator analysis. Categorization is available through two cultural context indicators: the macro cultural context indicator and micro cultural context indica...

Fish sausage is ground fish meat, or a mixture primarily of ground fish with ground pork, together with vegetable oil, permissible preservatives, seasoning and starch. It is packed in a casing and processed. It is a semi-processed food, the time and temperature of processing of the product being not sufficient o kill all micro organisms. Thermotolerant and spore-forming bacteria survive the pro...

A thermogenic organ is found beneath the brain of billfishes (Istiophoridae), swordfish (Xiphiidae) and the butterfly mackerel (Scombridae). The heater organ has been shown to warm the brain and eyes up to 14 degrees C above ambient water temperature. Heater cells are derived from extraocular muscle fibers and express a modified muscle phenotype with an extensive transverse-tubule (T-tubule) ne...
