| health risks for human intake of aquacultural fish: arsenic bioaccumulation and contamination. | aquacultural tilapia (oreochromis mossambicus l.) and shrimp (penaeus monodon l.) from groundwater-cultured ponds in southwestern taiwan were analyzed to estimate arsenic (as) bioaccumulation and the potential health risk to human intake. most of aquacultural ponds exhibited higher arsenic than maximum allowed concentrations (50 μg l(-1)) in pond water of taiwan. arsenic levels in tilapia in budai, yichu and beimen were 0.92 ± 0.52 μg g(-1), 0.93 ± 0.19 μg g(-1) and 0.76 ± 0.03 μg g(-1), respect ... | 2011 | 21879859 |
| isolation of vibrio harveyi from diseased kuruma prawns penaeus japonicus. | outbreaks of high mortality among the cultured kuruma prawn penaeus japonicus without overt gross signs occurred during august and december of 1994 in i-lan, taiwan. eleven luminous bacterial strains were isolated from the hepatopancreas of moribund prawns from five different farms by use of tryptic soy agar (tsa, supplemented with 2% nacl) and/or thiosulfate citrate bile salt sucrose (tcbs) agar. these strains, together with our two previously unpublished isolates, were characterized and identi ... | 1996 | 8662185 |
