If farmers are risk averse, greater farm income variability should increase off-farm labor supply. This effect is confirmed for a sample of Kansas farmers. Off-farm employment of farmers and their spouses is also found to be significantly influenced by farm experience, off-farm work experience, farm size, leverage, efficiency, and farm-specific education. In addition, farm operators and spouses...

Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius Kessler, 1877) as endemic migratory fish, possessing great ecological economic and biodiversity value. Among the habitat drivers, temperature related effects on the genome were considered in this research. During the embryonic developmental stages, genomic alterations of single cells were assessed by Comet assay. After artificial propagation of wild broodstoc...

Irrigation with distillery effluent, besides influencing crop yield, may have considerable impact on physical properties of soil because of its high salt and organic carbon contents. This experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of distillery effluent on hydraulic conductivity of a sandy loam alluvial soil and compare the effect of inorganic salts of potassium (K) with that of di...

The research was carried out in the Congalla district between April and September 2018 focused on analyzing production economic profitability of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farming by local market. areas, profitability, supply, demand forms consumption were determined; regional market; As a primary source information, it obtained through interviews with producers, traders consumers (Congalla-An...

Heavy metal removal from the water was studied by using fish bones produced in trout farm of Atatürk University Faculty Fisheries. Fish used as adsorbent were obtained rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Trout bone its natural form. According to experimental results that maximum Pb (II) adsorption capacity 188.16 mg/g. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models applied describe on bones. L...

Impacts of effluent from fish farming activities on fluvial ecosystems lead to deterioration of water quality and changes in the macroinvertebrates assemblage. In this study, the influence of fish farm effluents on water quality and macroinvertebrates communities of Tajan River was investigated to evaluate the suitability of macroinvertebrates based on biological metrics and indices. Benthic...

The presence of carotenoids in animal tissue reflects their sources along the food chain. Astaxanthin, the main carotenoid used for salmonid pigmentation, is usually included in the feed as a synthetic product. However, other dietary sources of astaxanthin such as shrimp or krill wastes, algae meal or yeasts are also available on the market. Astaxanthin possesses two identical asymmetric atoms ...
