Temperature influences the incidence of chemically induced cancer in fish,
with warmer temperatures being associated with higher cancer incidence. The
mechanisms of temperature-modulated chemical carcinogenesis in fish, however,
have not been described in detail. Therefore, one primary objective of this study
was increased understanding of how temperature-modulated genotoxicity of 7,12-...
Effects of diet on food energy utilization by grass
carp fed aquatic plants or formulated diets with varied
lipid sources and levels are presented in three
manuscripts. Significant effects of diet on food
consumption, digestion, growth and muscle fatty acid (FA)
composition of fingerling diploid grass carp fed aquatic

This presentation provides an overview of a keynote presentation given during a plenary session of the Industry and Policy Day held at the IIFET 2016 Scotland conference in July 2016. The session was chaired by Hazel Curtis and the presentation was given by Ernesto Penas Lado.
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has demonstrated potential in measuring forest biomass. We assessed the ability of LiDAR to accurately estimate forest total above ground biomass (TAGB) on an individual stem basis in a conifer forest in the US Pacific Northwest region using three different computer software programs...
Genetic, ontogenetic, and environmental factors modified characteristic interrenal and glycemic responses to stress in juvenile salmonid fishes. During continuous confinement stress, plasma cortisol rose more quickly in chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, acclimated to high rather than medium or low temperatures; hyperglycemia following either acute or chronic stress was also highest...
A series of session stakeholder presentations will address the current status, challenges, needs and future perspectives for implementation of management and ecological / economic assessment of data poor fish stocks and fisheries in management advice. This covers methods, simulation models and management strategy evaluation (MSE) tools to conduct assessment and...
Fish products are among the most highly-traded commodities. The proportion of fish harvests that is internationally traded has steadily risen over time. As a result, trade has become a key driver of the dynamics of local fisheries, with a range of ecological, economic and social impacts. This paper reports empirical...
