This study carried out an appraisal of fresh fish marketing in Ondo-State, Nigeria. It
specifically examined the socio-economic characteristics of fresh fish marketers in the study
area, determined profitability and examined market structure for fresh fish in the study area .A
multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 45 fresh...
The concept of shared value has been defined by Porter and Cramer as those policies and operating practices that enhance the competitiveness of a company while simultaneously advancing the economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates. This concept guides a coordinated process of stakeholders' engagement to...
The perception of catfish farmers on climate change and it effect on the contribution of
catfish production to household income in Lagos State, Nigeria were investigated using primary
and secondary data as well as structured questionnaire. A multistage random sampling technique
was used to select 250 African catfish farmers. Descriptive...
The fisheries sector of Sri Lanka means of livelihood for 2.6 million people and the vast majority of them are involved in small scale fisheries. The study was taken up with the objectives of to identify social &political membership status of small scale fishery value chain members, to assess the...
Symbiotic relationships between cnidarians and dinoflagellates within the genus
Symbiodinium are critically important for the success of coral reefs. These symbionts
provide their hosts with photosynthetically-fixed carbon in exchange for nutrients
and shelter. Symbiodinium is a phylogenetically diverse genus that is often typed by
sequencing the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer...
European seabass and gilthead seabream are two economically important cultured fish species along the Mediterranean coast. Both species represent respectively 10.9% and 13.5% of the total value of the European aquaculture sector (Eurostat, 2013). The EU is one of the largest producers of seabass and seabream in the world, being...
Over the past several years we have been developing Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) to measure the degree of success fisheries systems have in achieving environmental, economic and community outcomes. We have also developed indicators of key input factors. Among the input factors we have explicitly developed indicators for women’s participation and leadership...
Effects of climate change in the Cascade Range will likely include more rain, less snow, and earlier snowmelt in the Cascade Range as compared to present conditions. These changes, in turn, will affect the timing of runoff, groundwater recharge, and groundwater discharge to spring-fed streams. This hydrologic response needs to...
BACKGROUND:
AVI-7288 is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer with positive charges that targets the viral messenger RNA that encodes Marburg virus (MARV) nucleoprotein. Its safety in humans is undetermined.
METHODS:
We assessed the efficacy of AVI-7288 in a series of studies involving a lethal challenge with MARV in nonhuman primates. The...
Sophisticated computer simulations can support effective science-based evaluations to facilitate better governance of the marine space. We developed a range of spatial fisheries models, integrating biological with fisher decision-making dynamics and management for assessing management of multiple activities. We present the outcomes of case-specific evaluations with different ecological and socio-economic...
