Edible films were elaborated from gelatin solutions (4% w/v) of mahi-mahi skin (Coryphaena hippurus) with 2,5; 5; 7,5 and 10% v/v oregano extract (OE) its physicochemical, antimicrobial, structural surface properties determined. The control 2.5% OE showed the lowest moisture opacity values highest viscosity values. All inhibited growth Staphylococcus aureus Proteus vulgaris. Alone antimicrobial...

Understanding cardiac function in developing larval fishes is crucial for assessing their physiological condition and overall health. Cardiac output measurements in transparent fish larvae and other vertebrates have long been made by analyzing videos of the beating heart, and modeling this structure using a conventional simple prolate spheroid shape model. However, the larval fish heart changes...

Main perennial rivers of Gujarat, Tapi, Narmada, Mahi and Sabarmatiare meeting Arabian Sea in Gulf of Khambhat. The out flow of Mahi River intothe sea is decreased due to construction of dams like Bajaj Sagar, Kadana, Panamand Wanakbori weir. So, Tidal effect of sea and sea water intrusion is beingincreased on landward side. Moreover, due to erratic nature of rainfall andimproper management of ...

Millions of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor were rapidly eliminated when added to commercial ceviche prepared by marination of mahi-mahi fish in lime juice. Likewise, large masses of viable vibrios present in laboratory contaminated fish, were readily eliminated after immersion in lime juice, during the preparation of ceviche. The killing effect was evident within 5 min of exposure of vibrios to lime...

The Deepwater Horizon incident likely resulted in exposure of commercially and ecologically important fish species to crude oil during the sensitive early life stages. We show that brief exposure of a water-accommodated fraction of oil from the spill to mahi-mahi as juveniles, or as embryos/larvae that were then raised for ∼25 days to juveniles, reduces their swimming performance. These physiol...

tempo of life and behavioral impulse reflected the rapidly emerging African society, from that of foreign domination to independence and freedom, from the traditional to the modern, with the new hopes after the Second World War and the universal social consciousness which was increasingly felt, Tigani took up psychiatry as a specialty. When he completed his post-graduate studies in London in 19...
