DEVELOPING A CHLOROPHYLL-BASED PREDICTION MODEL FOR EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID (EPA) PRODUCTION IN PHYTOPLANKTON
(2020-08-18)Phytoplankton are ideal candidates for sustainable high-scale production of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). However, a rapid and reliable technique to model EPA production has yet to be ... -
Effect of Salinity, Photoperiod, Temperature, and Restricted Food Intake on Growth and Incidence of Sexual Maturation of Labrador Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)
(2012-09-17)Economic viability of Fraser River, Labrador Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) aquaculture in Atlantic Canada may be greatly improved if grow-out could be completed in seawater (30 ppt), while having a low incidence of ... -
Effect of Temperature on the Wide Angle X-Ray Diffraction of Nanocrystalline Triacylglycerols
(2014-12-16)The peak position of wide angle x-ray diffraction patterns of nanocrystalline triacylglycerols is affected by the temperature. To observe this effect quantitatively, pure triacylglycerols and triacylglycerol mixtures were ... -
Interactive Effects of Main Climate Change Components on Growth and Development of Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2018-12-17)Higher temperature and elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration are expected to cause changes in global precipitation patterns and thus increased water stress events in soils. Few studies have reported the interaction ... -
LOCAL AND REGIONAL DRIVERS OF OXYGEN VARIABILITY IN COASTAL EMBAYMENTS ON THE SOUTHWEST SCOTIAN SHELF: IMPLICATIONS FOR NOVA SCOTIA ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) FARMING
(2022-08-30)Globally, the coastal ocean is increasingly threatened by climate change-related stressors, such as ocean warming and deoxygenation. As a result, anthropogenic activities such as sea cage aquaculture, which often occurs ... -
PHYSIOLOGY OF MECHANICAL STRESS-INDUCED NEEDLE LOSS IN POSTHARVEST BALSAM FIR (ABIES BALSAMEA L.)
(2018-05-01)Postharvest needle loss in balsam fir, Abies balsamea L., presents a major challenge for the Christmas tree industry. It was hypothesized that postharvest needle abscission is caused by mechanical stresses such as shaking, ...
