  • Effect of mercury on β-galactosidase activity : possible relationship to lactose intolerance

    Creator:
    LaChance, Michele Collette
    Abstract:
    The ability of mercury to inhibit β - galactosidase activity from cell-free extracts of Streptococcus lactis, Escherichia colt and intestinal homogenates of hogs, female rats, and humans was studied. Mercuric acetate was added in vitro to all sources of β - galactosidase except for the rats, which were placed on...

  • The Effects of Nitrate and a Pathogenic Fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, on Amphibians

    Creator:
    Negru, Delia
    Abstract:
    The current rate of global biodiversity loss and extinctions is unparalleled and a major concern. Freshwater organisms are facing particularly rapid rates of biodiversity loss. Amphibians, which require an aquatic environment for part of their life cycle, are one of the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. Amphibians are experiencing population declines,...

  • Recovery and utilization of Pacific whiting frame meat for surimi production

    Creator:
    Wendel, Ari P.
    Abstract:
    In surimi manufacturing, less than 25% of the total weight of the fish is utilized. This research focused on meat recovery from fish frames, the residual portion of the fish after filleting headed and gutted fish. A new technology, the water jet deboning (WJD) system, was tested. The WJD system...

  • Rice flour – a functional ingredient for premium crabstick

    Creator:
    Hur, Sungik
    Abstract:
    Rice flour possesses functional properties in enhancing texture and whiteness. This study was carried out to evaluate rice flour as a functional ingredient for premium crabstick and to develop a commercially viable recipe for premium crabstick. Crabstick pastes were formulated with constant surimi (42%) and combined rice flour and starch...

  • Nekton remains, diatoms, and holocene upwelling off Peru

    Creator:
    DeVries, Thomas J.
    Abstract:
    Partly laminated sediments on the upper continental slope (200-600 m) off central Peru contain a diverse assemblage of fish debris, diatoms, and the remains of a variety of other nektonic, planktic, and benthic organisms. Approximately 97 percent of the fish scales recovered from the best preserved cores come from the...

  • Microstructural Characterization of Porosity in U-Mo Low Enriched Uranium Plate Fuel

    Creator:
    Westman, Bjorn E.
    Abstract:
    New low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels are being developed for replacement of high enriched uranium (HEU) fuels in high power research reactors. U-Mo LEU plate fuels have been identified as a candidate for replacement of current HEU fuels. However, U-Mo fuels tend to exhibit accelerated swelling typically at fission densities...

  • Long term albacore (Thunnus alalunga) spatio-temporal association with environmental variability in the Northeastern Pacific

    Creator:
    Phillips, A. Jason
    Abstract:
    This study investigated long-term (1961-2008) changes in albacore (Thunnus alalunga) abundance and distribution in relation to local environmental and large-scale climate indices in the Northeastern Pacific using time series and spatial analyses. Prior to the time series analysis, a wavelet analysis was conducted to examine nonrandom patterns of cyclical variability...

  • Diel activity patterns in demersal fishes on Heceta Bank, Oregon

    Creator:
    Hart, Ted
    Abstract:
    Most fishes exhibit differences in activity patterns from day to night, with a switch from high to low activity at dusk and reverse at dawn. Marine reef fishes show similar behavior among sites, despite dissimilar species assemblages, suggesting that common selection pressures are leading to convergent behavior. Few studies to...

  • Development of a restructured seafood product from squid (Loligo Opalescens)

    Creator:
    Berntsen, Steven Eldon
    Abstract:
    The influence of protein adjuncts and variations in pH on the cook-cool loss, moisture content, and texture of squid gels was investigated. Break force (P [greater than or equal to] .025), deformation to break (P [greater than or equal to] .01) and cook-cool loss (P [greater than or equal to]...

  • Alternative products from Pacific whiting : fresh surimi and texturized mince

    Creator:
    Pipatsattayanuwong, Siriporn
    Abstract:
    The major portion of Pacific whiting (PW) is commercialized in the form of frozen surimi. Alternative products for PW were investigated focusing on fresh surimi and texturized meat from PW mince. Fresh surimi is made without additives and kept refrigerated instead of frozen. Texturized meat is a meat-like product made...
