Reducing risks from E. coli 0157 on the organic farm
(Canadian Centre for Sustainable Agriculture, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan., 2001)
E.coli 0157 is a bacterial pathogen of the human intestinal tract which is carried in certain species of livestock and wildlife without ill effect. Such organisms are termed zoonotics. Various types of Campylobacter and ...
Systems for sustainable agriculture: approaches, tradeoffs and needs
(Canadian Centre for Sustainable Agriculture, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 2001)
All systems of agriculture practiced today can be seen as having a potential for improvement and contributing toward a more sustainable agriculture. The major differences in approach and in the types of services needed to ...
Can we stop the lobster going the way of the cod?
(labeled ‘A brief submitted in 2006 to the Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (FRCC)’, 2006)
This report is a response to the Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (FRCC)’s request for opinion on how to reduce risk and address problems in Atlantic Canada’s lobster fishery. See www.frcc-ccrh.ca for further details ...
Scientific parameterization and its validation: comparing the universal models of fisheries economics with the invalid modeling of stock assessment
(2008-09-22)
Here I compare the valid parameterization of fisheries economics with the data-fitted parameters of a stock
assessment’s modeling, invalid models whose predictions cannot be falsified (which is another way of saying ...
Microsatellite and allozyme analyses reveal few genetic differences among spatially distinct aggregations of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta, Conrad 1849)
(2004-12)
The genetic population structure of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta) in inland waters of
Washington may affect fishery management and aquacultural practices involving this species. To
investigate genetic differentiation ...
The dystroglycan complex is necessary for stabilization of acetylcholine receptor clusters at neuromuscular junctions and formation of the synaptic basement membrane
(2001-02)
The dystrophin-associated protein (DAP) complex spans the sarcolemmal membrane linking
the cytoskeleton to the basement membrane surrounding each myofiber. Defects in the DAP
complex have been linked previously to a ...
Mechanisms Influencing the Timing and Success of Reproductive Migration in a Capital Breeding Semelparous Fish Species, the Sockeye Salmon
(University of Chicago Press, P.O. Box 37005 Chicago IL 60637 USA,
[mailto:help@press.uchicago.edu], [URL:http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/], 2009)
Two populations of homing sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka; Adams and Chilko) were intercepted
in the marine approaches around the northern and southern ends of Vancouver Island (British
Columbia, Canada) en route to ...
Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis: A new method of estimating predator diets
(2004-05)
Accurate estimates of the diets of predators are required in many areas of ecology, but for many
species current methods are imprecise, limited to the last meal, and often biased. The diversity of
fatty acids and their ...
Population-specific gene expression responses to hybridization between farm and wild Atlantic salmon
(2009-11)
Because of intrinsic differences in their genetic architectures, wild populations invaded by
domesticated individuals could experience population-specific consequences following introgression
by genetic material of ...
