| estimation of the carbon footprint of the galician fishing activity (nw spain). | the food production system as a whole is recognized as one of the major contributors to environmental impacts. accordingly, food production, processing, transport and consumption account for a relevant portion of the greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions associated with any country. in this context, there is an increasing market demand for climate-relevant information regarding the global warming impact of consumer food products throughout the supply chains. this article deals with the assessment of th ... | 2010 | 20800266 |
| histopathology of experimental scuticociliatosis in turbot scophthalmus maximus. | a scuticociliate strain (b-2), originally isolated from an outbreak in a turbot scophthalmus maximus (= psetta maxima) farm in galicia (northwestern spain) and maintained in axenic culture, was injected intracoelomically (lethal dose 80 equivalent, ld80) in healthy turbot (50 g). ciliate-injected fish were kept under controlled conditions in a recirculating seawater system and sampled on days 1 through 8, 10, 12 and 14 postinfection (pi). necropsies were conducted and included blood collection f ... | 2007 | 17760386 |
| philasterides dicentrarchi (ciliophora, scuticociliatida) as the causative agent of scuticociliatosis in farmed turbot scophthalmus maximus in galicia (nw spain). | two outbreaks of scuticociliatosis affecting farmed turbot scophthalmus maximus in galicia are described. moribund fish showed cutaneous ulcers, darkened skin, swimming behaviour alterations, exophthalmos, and/or abdominal distension as a result of accumulation of ascitic fluid in the body cavity. ciliates were detected in fresh mounts of practically all organs and tissues, including the blood and ascitic fluid. histopathological studies revealed severe encephalitis and meningitis (associated wi ... | 2001 | 11592702 |
| dietary uptake of dioxins (pcdd/pcdfs) and dioxin-like pcbs in spanish aquacultured turbot (psetta maxima). | the human population is exposed to dioxins (pcdd/fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-pcbs) mainly through diet; bioaccumulation and biomagnification in aquatic environment results in fishery products and by-products being an important vector to humans. the determination of pcdd/fs and dl-pcbs in fillets of young turbots (psetta maxima) (0-2 years) from aquaculture plant (galicia, spain) (n = 21) and in feeding stuffs were carried out, and dietary accumulation values and lipid-norma ... | 2007 | 17454116 |
| amoebic gill infection of turbot, scophthalmus maximus. | amoebae were found to cause severe gill tissue damage in turbot, scophthalmus maximus l, from a grow-out facility in northwestern galicia (spain). the nature and extent of lesions along with negative results of bacteriological and virological examination made this agent responsible for mortalities in four turbot stocks supplied with water from a single source. we present our findings, although we failed to isolate amoebae, since there was a clear evidence of their primary role in the development ... | 1995 | 8774765 |
