Dissolved oxygen (DO) & COD is a parameter frequently used to evaluate the water quality on different rivers. The aim of the present study is to investigate applicability of artificial intelligence techniques such as ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) in water quality DO & COD prediction for the case study, Mahi river at Khanpur in Thasara Taluka of Kheda District in Gujarat State, I...

Mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) are a highly migratory pelagic fish, but little is known about what environmental factors drive their broad distribution. This study examined how temperature influences aerobic scope and swimming performance in mahi. Mahi were acclimated to four temperatures spanning natural range (20, 24, 28, 32{\deg}C; 5-27 days) critical speed (Ucrit), metabolic rates, scope, ...

Negative impacts of CO2-induced ocean acidification on marine organisms have proven to be variable both among and within taxa. For fishes, inconsistency confounds our ability to draw conclusions that apply across taxonomic groups and highlights the limitations of a nascent field with a narrow scope of study species. Here, we present data from a series of 3 experiments on the larvae of mahi-mahi...

The temporal and geographic attributes of the Deepwater Horizon incident in 2010 likely exposed pelagic game fish species, such as mahi-mahi, to crude oil. Although much of the research assessing the effects of the spill has focused on early life stages of fish, studies examining whole-animal physiological responses of adult marine fish species are lacking. Using swim chamber respirometry, the ...

To better understand the impact of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) incident on commercially and ecologically important pelagic fish species, a mahi-mahi spawning program was developed to assess the effect of embryonic exposure to DWH crude oil with particular emphasis on the effects of weathering and dispersant on the magnitude of toxicity. Acute lethality (96 h LC50) ranged from 45.8 (28.4-63.1) μ...

139 In medical research, one of major challenges is to archive, access, and analyse various heterogeneous databases containing patient information gathered from a large volume of data over a long period of time. The main objective of this paper is (1) to examine how the use of metadata and ontologies can support the management and integration of clinical research databases and (2) to present ou...

El propósito de este trabajo fue optimizar las condiciones extracción gelatina a partir piel mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) utilizando un diseño compuesto central cinco niveles empleando la metodología superficie respuesta. Se evaluaron los efectos temperatura (40-70 °C), el tiempo (60-400 min) y concentración ácido cítrico (0.1-0.9%) sobre respuestas fuerza gel (g) rendimiento proteína (%). L...

Key differences in the developmental process of pelagic fish embryos, in comparison to embryos of standard test fish species, present challenges to obtaining sufficient control survival needed to successfully perform traditional toxicity testing bioassays. Many of these challenges relate to the change in buoyancy, from positive to negative, of pelagic fish embryos that occurs just prior to hatc...
