Since its inception, aquaculture has developed into a major industrial complex, a major component of which is cage culture. Along with the growth, however, problems arose. Translocations of animals and diseases, as well as concerns over environmental effects limited the growth of the industry. The concept of fish health management whereby the host, pathogen, and environment are proactively mana...

As the nutrient-rich subsurface slope water intruding into deep basin of Gulf Maine (GoM) supports high biological productivity in semi-enclosed gulf, it is important to understand process and time scale such intrusion. This study focuses on variations GoM seasonal interannual scales influences open ocean processes temporal variation properties. Based long-term monitoring data, found that at Jo...

Spring phytoplankton blooms in the Gulf of Maine (GoM) are sensitive to climate-related local and remote forcing. Nutrient supply through slope water intrusion has been viewed as critical regulating GoM spring blooms, with an assumption that nitrogen is primary limiting nutrient. In recent years, this paradigm challenged, silicate being recognized another potential nutrient, but source its asso...

AIMS To compare two cotside methods of blood glucose measurement (HemoCue and Reflolux II) against a standard laboratory method for the detection of neonatal hypoglycaemia in a developing country maternity hospital where hypoglycaemia is common. METHODS 94 newborn infants and 75 of their mothers had blood glucose assessed on the same venous sample using three different methods in the Special ...

The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is the most active deepwater region in the world and provides some of the greatest challenges in scope and opportunity for the oil and gas industry. The complex geologic settings and significant water and reservoir depths necessitate high development costs, in addition to requiring innovating technology. The investment costs are substantial: because of the extreme water...

Routine monitoring along the coast of the Gulf of Maine (GoM) reveals shellfish toxicity nearly every summer, but at varying times, locations, and magnitudes. The responsible toxin is known to be produced by the dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense, yet there is little apparent association between Alexandrium abundance and shellfish toxicity. One possibility is that toxic cells are persistent i...

The upper-ocean processes controlling the near-surface layer temperature in western Gulf of Mexico (GOM) are examined by estimating contributing terms heat equation based on a 54-year simulation an eddy-resolving HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). An eddy-active region defined large surface eddy kinetic energy, representing Loop Current eddies (LCEs) primary trajectory region, is selected f...
