A network of nine Fish Replenishment Areas (FRA) reserves was demarcated in West Hawai’i in 2000 in response to declines of reef fishes taken by aquarium collectors. In 1999, we established 23 study sites in FRAs, areas open to collectors and reference areas (existing protected areas) to collect data both prior to and after the closure of the reserve network in 2000. To date we have conducted 3...

although acrometastases are rare but clinically they are considered important. their etiology is quite different from the metastases to other sites; bronchogenic carcinoma is by far the most frequent case. the prognosis is always similar to metastatic bronchial cancer with an average survival of three months. treatment may involve distal digital amputation or antalgic radiotherapy. the main dif...

In order to utilize low economic value fish for human consumption there is a need for development of novel process for production of acceptable, shelf stable and ready to eat products. The preparation of extruded products from cereal-fish mince mixture is gaining more importance world over and as it offers many process variables to get acceptable high quality products. With more and more fish i...

A three-component Mixture Design was used to investigate the effect of different components of breadcrumbs, textured soy protein (TSP) and low-methoxyl pectin and their interactions on textural properties of an existing fish finger. The result indicated that the pectin had a more notable influence than TSP and breadcrumbs on all textural parameters as pectin proportion increased. At a higher pr...

abstract   background: traumatic or congenital events can result in injury and functional deficiency in the hand and we need to reconstruct the fingers at times. studies are available in the pediatric and adult age groups to assess the length of the thumb. but to the best our knowledge no measurement of the relative clinical length of all fingers has been reported in the literature. we performe...

bilateral finger and palm prints of 500 males and 500 females of the caucasian origin in south iran have been collected and analyzed for both qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyhic features. results show that most of the qualitative features on bilateral and bisexual differences are not significant. however, quantitative features frequently showed significant differences both bilaterally an...

Ikaros is a member of the Kruppel family of zinc finger DNA-binding proteins. The Ikaros protein contains two separate regions of zinc-finger domains: 4 DNA-binding zinc fingers near the N-terminus and 2 zinc fingers for protein-protein interactions near the C-terminus. Here, we identified the Ikaros gene from 14 vertebrate genomes and found Ikaros existed in all kinds of vertebrate including f...

A 56-day feeding trial was undertaken to assess the ef-fects of housefly maggots (HM) forms (dried and fresh) as protein sources on growth, feed efficiency, body indices Oreo-chromis niloticus finger-lings. control diet (T0) contained 300 g/kg fish-meal (without HM). Two practical diets with same formula were prepared dried HM (T1) fresh (T2) where 66 % fishmeal replaced. Di-ets fed triplicate ...

Zataria multiflora is well known to middle-east, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan where, it is cultivated only in warm areas. The objective of this article focused on this issue whether Zataria multiflora Boiss has effect on haematological and Growth parameters of Oncorhynchus mykiss. One hundred and twenty healthy finger ling fish, Oncorhynchus mykiss (mean weight 4.3 g) were commercially obtain...
