Assessing and Predicting Distribution Shifts of Canopy-Forming Marine Macrophytes in the Northwest Atlantic with Remote Sensing and Species Distribution Models
(2017-12-12)This thesis quantified the distribution of several ecologically and commercially important canopy-forming marine macrophytes in the Northwest Atlantic using species distribution models (SDM) and satellite remote sensing. ... -
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FEEDING MARINE ALGAE AND SEAWEEDS ON RUMINAL DIGESTION USING IN VITRO CONTINUOUS CULTURE FERMENTATION
(2011-07-08)Continuous culture fermentation (CCF) was used to test the hypotheses that: marine microalgae (MA) and macroalgae (seaweeds) alter rumen microbial metabolism; MA types differ in abilities to provide rumen escape n-3 ... -
Multilevel evaluation of prebiotic and probiotic supplementations, heat stress, and genetic strain effects on blood and intestinal epithelial cells of chicken
(2023-08-24)There is a need to assess how dietary strategies might effectively benefit bird health, performance, and the ability to deal with environmental variability. Metabolomics is suggested as a useful approach for assessing ... -
Observations on the annual growth of Ascophyllum nodosum
(Wm. Macnab & Son, 1933) -
THE STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM POLYSACCHARIDES AND IN VITRO PREBIOTIC ACTIVITY: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGIES
(2018-03-20)The impact of four extraction processes (conventional chemical (CCE), microwave-assisted (MAE), ultrasound-assisted (UAE), and enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE)) on the structure-function relationship between polysaccharides ... -
Supplementation of Red Seaweed (Chondrus crispus) and Tasco® (Ascophyllum nodosum) in Laying Hen Diets
(2019-12-17)This study evaluated the effect of dietary red seaweed (CC) and brown seaweed (Tasco®) on laying hens. Two commercial strains of hens [Lohmann LSL Lite (LL) and Lohmann Brown Lite (LB)] were assessed for production performance ... -
USING MACROALGAE, DISSOLVED NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS, AND NATURAL ABUNDANCE STABLE ISOTOPES TO TRACK SOURCES OF NITROGEN IN AQUACULTURE FARMS
(2021-12-16)Seaweed aquaculture is a growing market in the North Atlantic which has sparked the need for finding areas that can naturally support their growth. In this thesis six farms growing Saccharina latissima, or sugar kelp, were ...
