Allergic contact dermatitis caused by the blue pigment VINAMON® Blue BX FW – a Phthalocyanine Blue in a vinyl glove
Authors: Weimann Stefanie , Skudlik Christoph , John Swen Malte 
Published: September 2010

SummaryA 44‐year‐old metalworker suffered from severe hand eczema in spite of treatment with corticosteroid ointments. He had been using protective cotton gloves with blue PVC anti‐slip dots on the finger tips. On clinical examination, the backs of both hands were erythematous and thickened while the finger tips showed vesicles. There was a positive patch test reaction to the blue PVC dots of an unworn cotton glove at 72, 96, 120 hours. To identify the causative chemicals, we carried out further patch tests using ingredients of the glove and cupric sulfate. The patient reacted to the blue dye VYNAMON® Blue BX FW (PB 15) at two concentrations – 10% at 72 and 96 hours, and 50% at 48 and 72 hours. This dye is a very strong and brilliant blue with red‐copper tones and resistant to fire and weathering. The cupric‐phthalocyanine complexes are used as pigments in cosmetics (e. g. CI 74160, 74180, 74260). To the best of our knowledge, no allergic reactions to this dye have been described, particularly not in gloves.

Published: September 2010

SummaryA 43‐year‐old healthy patient developed disseminated flat skin‐colored to red‐brown papules over a few months. These papules were the result of cutaneous IgM deposits representing the first symptom of a hitherto undiagnosed IgM paraproteinemia. This extremely rare skin manifestation of IgM paraproteinemia e. g. possibly incipient Waldenström macroglobulinemia should be included in the histopathological differential of eosinophilic dermal deposits.

sævareid h.i., thygesen e., lindstrom t.c. & nygaard h.a. (2012) Association between self‐reported care needs and the allocation of care in Norwegian home nursing care recipients. International Journal of Older People Nursing7, 20–28  doi: 10.1111/j.1748‐3743.2010.00247.xObjectives.  This study investigated the relationship between patients’ self‐reported illness, daily afflictions, and the frequency of home nursing care, and whether patients’ coping resources influenced the allocation of care.Design, sample and measurements.  A cross‐sectional survey was adopted. Two hundred and forty‐two people aged 75 years and above receiving home nursing care participated in the study. Binary logistic regression model was used to test the effects of the independent variables on home nursing care.Results.  Poor capacity to perform activities of daily living and high level of education were directly associated with a high frequency of home nursing care. Lack of perceived social support affected the amount of home nursing care allocated only when feelings of loneliness were connected with poor activities of daily living functioning. Interaction effects revealed that perceived social support influenced the amount of home nursing care in persons with higher education, in persons with low education, no such association were found. No associations were found between coping resources and home nursing care.Conclusions.  Impaired capacity to perform activities of daily living was the main reason for care allocation. Education was associated with more formal care. Patients with low perceived social support combined with a low education level was a particularly vulnerable group.

Published: September 2010

AbstractSix species of insect endoparasitoids were identified from Elcysma westwoodii, which is the most damaging lepidopteran pest of Prunus yedoensis. From Hymenoptera, two species were identified: a species in Braconidae and Charops striatus in Ichneumonidae. From Diptera, there were four species in Tachinidae: Compsilura concinnata, Exorista sp., Pales sp. and Tachinidae spp. The parasitic ratio was 4.86% (45 of 926 larvae). The hymenopterans were parasitic on 31 individuals of E. westwoodii (68.9%) and the dipterans were parasitic on 14 individuals (31.1%). It was found that parasitoids from the larvae of E. westwoodii were all either endoparasitoids or larval parasitoids. However, Exorista sp. of Tachinidae was found to be either a larval parasitoid or larval‐pupal parasitoid. Additionally, all the identified parasitoids were solitary parasitoids, as only one parasite occurred in a larva of E. westwoodii. Because the larva of E. westwoodii eats and molts after it is parasitized, all the parasitoids were identified as koinobionts. There were no big differences in morphological characteristics and life histories between C. striatus and C. concinnata. However, for Exorista sp. and Pales sp., males took 3–5 days longer to emerge from their pupae and had remarkably longer body lengths than females.

Accessory gland secretory proteins in relation to fitness parameters of Drosophila ananassae and D. varians
Authors: HIREMANI Raghavendra B. , SHIVANNA Nanjaiah 
Published: September 2010

AbstractDevelopmental morphometry, qualitative and quantitative analysis of the accessory gland secretory proteins, fecundity and productivity in relation to protein ejected during subsequent (first to fourth‐time) matings have been studied in Drosophila ananassae Doleschall and Drosophila varians Bock. In both species, size and secretion of accessory glands increases from 1 to 8 days and the stored secretion ejected from males to the female genital tract during subsequent mating varies. The maximum number of eggs and flies are produced from the females mated with bachelor males and it is a minimum when virgin females are mated with fourth‐time mated males. Sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of accessory gland secretory protein patterns and their glycosylation differs in both the species. Correlation coefficient analysis between gland size and quantity of secretion, percentage of secretory protein transferred per mating, and eggs and flies that emerged showed a highly significant, positive relationship. Among different matings, the number of eggs laid and flies that emerged per female between subsequent (first to fourth‐time) matings of males was found to be highly significant and the difference between fecundity and productivity between the two species was highly significant.
Some Problems in the Culture of Oyster Larvae
Authors: Landers Warren S. , Biologist Fishery 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTThe various problems in culture of oyster larvae are discussed. Oysters can be made to spawn in the laboratory. This is done by subjecting them to a water temperature above 20 C. They can also be encouraged to spawn by adding a sperm suspension to warm sea water. Spawnable animals can be assured for late summer and early fall by holding glycogen‐rich animals in refrigerated sea water during the spawning season. Good water quality is essential. Blooms of algae and pollution are detrimental. Metals such as zinc, are harmful to larvae. Live alga is still the best food but “artificial” feeds must be developed. Disease can be a problem since oysters are crowded. Pathogenic bacteria cause the most problems. Some, such as bacterial necrosis, may be controlled with antibiotics. At metamorphosis abundant food is vital for oysters. If food is inadequate the rate of setting is reduced.
Disease‐Caused Mortalities in Mariculture, Status and Predictions
Authors: Sindermann Carl J. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTDiseases and parasites are one of the most serious problems of the mariculturist. Tragic epidemics reported herein include: fungal infections of pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), diseases of several species of fin fish in Japan, vibrios of salmonids, diseases of penaeid shrimp, and others. A proposal is made to establish a service, sponsored by the World Mariculture Society, for combating disease problems. A handbook of maricultural diseases is also proposed.
Selective Breeding of Salmonid Fishes
Authors: Donaldson Lauren R. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with selective breeding of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), rainbow‐steelhead hybrids, and chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). After 38 years of selection male rainbow trout reach maturity their first year at an average weight of 680 g. Females mature their second year at an average weight of 4.5 kg and produce about 9,000 eggs. Top production was from a 3‐year‐old female who produced 23,489 eggs. Interracial crosses produced rainbow‐steelhead hybrids that grew faster than the steelhead stock but slower than the rainbow stock. Improvements in chinook salmon have been made through selective breeding. Egg production for the 3‐year‐old females has increased from an average of 3,800 per female in 1960 to about 5,400 in 1969.
The Refuse Act Permit Program and its Application to Mariculture
Authors: Baumeister John W. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTThe Refuse Act Permit Program was created by Executive Order No. 11374 to broaden the Federal Government's role in abating pollution from industry and business. Applying the provisions of the 1899 River and Harbor Act, the program was created following court decisions whereby the Act was interpreted to require a permit for all waste discharges except municipal sewage and discharges from ships and other watercraft. All other dischargers including fish cultural operations fall under the broad purview of the Refuse Act.Upon receipt of a technically complete application, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State Water Pollution Control Agency evaluate the impact of the discharge on water quality, determine waste treatment needs, and develop conditions for inclusion in the Refuse Act Permit. In the Southeast Region of EPA, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fishery Service provide technical support to this effort to insure maximum protection of fish and wildlife resources.Fish cultural operations have been classified as a critical industry based on studies conducted by EPA policies. Procedures for processing applications in this category are currently being developed and should be finalized in the very near future.
Alabama's Marine Cage Culture studies1
Authors: Swingle Wayne E. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTThe Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources began studies on the cage culture of marine species in 1969. Major emphasis has been placed on the culture of pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) because of its high value. Pompano were cultured to a maximum of 284 g average weight in one season. Pompano will have to be overwintered in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Pompano were acclimated to 0.2 ppt salinity. Mullet (Mugil cephalus) stocked with pompano controlled fouling of cages. Facilities for culturing the fish are discussed. Other species successfuly cultured in cages in the marine habitat include striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).

Commercial Culture of Oysters in New England
Authors: Matthiessen George C. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTAqua Dynamics Corporation was formed in 1970 for the purpose of culturing' marine species of commercial value, with initial emphasis upon the American oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and bay scallop (Aequipecten irradians). The Corporation obtains seed oysters by taking advantage of natural spawning and setting in a semi‐enclosed tidal pond. The seed is raised to marketable size in suspension, employing submerged movable racks. Scallop production will depend upon standard hatchery techniques followed by transfer to natural growing areas, but the results of this phase of the program are as yet inconclusive.

Binders and Pellet Stability in Development of Crustacean Diets1
Authors: Meyers Samuel P. , Zein‐Eldin Zoula P. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTDiets developed for shrimps and prawns require good stability to avoid disintegration from exposure to water and from the manipulation process of the animal during ingestion. Other important considerations in selection of a proper binder include its digest‐ability by the animal and its effect on the textural characteristics of the extruded pellet. Changes in texture may significantly affect acceptability of the food. Alginates have proven to be effective binders, giving adequate pellet stability for up to 48 hours. Binding properties are affected by type and concentration of alginate used, composition of the diet, and presence and levels of sequestrants. Cereal fillers, providing large areas of gelatinized starch, also insure good stability under proper processing conditions. Starch gelatinization is affected by particle size as well as the moisture, time, and temperature of the processing procedure. Pre‐gelatinized starches have particular application in imparting desirable stability properties. Ultimate choice may depend upon cost of the binder and its adaptability to large‐scale commercial operations.
Studies on Compounded Diets for Prawns
Authors: Forster J. R. M. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTAssimilation of nutrients from compounded diets by the prawns Palaemon serratus and Pandalus platyceros was studied. Values for the assimilation of total nitrogen by P. serratus from rations containing 60% of different food meals of animal and vegetable origin ranged from 79.6% for whale‐meat meal to 95.1% for B.P. protein concentrate. Mean assimilation from three diets containing 60% of different commercial fish meals was 89.0%. At dietary levels of 47.5% the carbohydrates wheat starch, glycogen and dextrin were completely assimilated by P. serratus and potato starch was 90.6% assimilated. Fewer determinations were made with P. platyceros but results suggested that it assimilated nutrients slightly less efficiently than P. serratus.
RISKS TO THE AQUACULTURE ENTERPRISE
Authors: Webber Harold H. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTAquaculture, as an enterprise, is a relatively recent matter of concern among American entrepreneurs. It is an undertaking that requires knowledgeable, venturesome and resourceful technologistscum‐business managers to structure a practicable system of economic aquafood production utilizing the available resources from sunlight to market. The risks are numerous, and often ill‐defined, but the potential rewards are great, and thus aquaculture has attracted bold and venturous investors even though in many recent cases the requisite knowledge and skills were lacking.There is an attractive analogy often drawn between terrestrial and aquatic animal husbandry which may be appropriate only if a realistic recognition is made of the metaphorical nature of the comparison. It has become common to compare aquaculture with the poultry industry which has reached a highly sophisticated and complex state of development. No aquacultural candidate animal is yet as well understood as the chicken is, nor do we have command over the environment to a sufficient degree to enable the production of aquafoods in adequate sustained supply to justify a major investment in the vertically integrated system from feed to marketing that seems to be required.We have yet to provide a high level of assurance that we can comnand a supply of vigorous seed for stocking, an appropriate feed for growing, control disease, predators and competitors or manage the environment so as to materially reduce the risks, and enhance the probability of a satisfactory return on investment.These matters of biological and engineering importance are considered in the context of aquabusiness imperatives, and are judged as risks to the venture.
AN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY ON THE FEASIBILITY OF RECIRCULATING SYSTEMS IN MARICULTURE
Authors: Epifanio Charles E. , Pruder Gary , Hartman Michael , Srna Richard 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTAn interdisciplinary team of scientists (a chemist, an engineer, and two biologists) at the University of Delaware is conducting an intensive study on the potential of recirculating seawater systems for use in mariculture. The Sea Grant‐supported project is underway in a relatively large (900 m2) laboratory at the mouth of Delaware Bay. The facility is unique in that it allows the degree of environmental control usual in small laboratory situations while allowing experimentation at the pilot plant scale.The team is attempting to culture clams and oysters from egg to commercial size in a recirculating system. A product is expected 18 months after spawning. Hatchery techniques are standard, but the postlarval animals are not planted in the field. Instead they are introduced to one of six recirculating systems for subsequent growth to commercial size. Twenty thousand newly set animals have been placed in an 8,000 liter system and are fed a mixture of several species of cultured algae. A new apparatus has been developed to separate algae from their culture media for subsequent feeding to the mollusks.Each circulating seawater system was specially designed for the culture of filter feeding mollusks and consists of an 8.6 m2 biological filter, a carbon filter, and a UV treatment station. Protein skimmers and biological monitoring systems are being optimized for future incorporation into the system.A careful record was kept of changes in nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, reactive phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, heavy metals, chloride, dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, salinity, and suspended matter in the recirculating systems during start‐up and subsequent operation. Chemical information is used in engineering new refinements into the recirculating system as well as in interpreting biological phenomena in the system.
STANDING CROPS OF NATURAL FISH POPULATIONS IN BRACKISH‐WATER OIL FIELD PIPELINE CANALS1
Authors: Kilgen Ronald H. , Harris Alva H. , Kraemer Danny 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTBrackish‐water oil field pipeline canals located in coastal Louisiana were rotenoned so that mariculture studies could be conducted. Standing crops within the canals ranged from 133 to 369 kg per ha, with an average minimum wholesale value of $38.80 per ha. Centrarchids and channel catfish were found in lower salinity canals (5.5 to 8.5 ppt), but not in a higher salinity canal (25 ppt). Sea catfish, oyster toadfish, and gray snapper were found only in the latter. The canals contained from 15 to 28 different fish species, with clupeids, sparids, and sciaenids predominating. Standing crops within pipeline canals are apparently higher than in surrounding areas, but potential brood stock may never reproduce because they are trapped within the canals.
GROWING THE AMERICAN LOBSTER
Authors: Jahnig Charles E. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTGrowth rates for Homarus americanus have been measured and interrelated in a comprehensive manner to include the required feeding rate, and food conversion efficiency. Feeding rate is a function only of age, and is given by: F = 300 C /θ where F is feeding rate in weight percent per day, θ is age in days, and C is grams of food per gram of growth. This equation also applies to other animals provided only that their length is proportional to age, and that weight varies as the cube of length.The equations are used to predict the size distribution of the ocean population, and are consistent with local field data. It takes about 6 years to reach legal size corresponding to about 454 g, but laboratory data project to only 2 years required if the lobsters are kept continuously in warm water.Factors causing mortality in the laboratory are discussed. Finally, illustrative economics for raising lobsters commercially from eggs are given and show a cost of $2.00 to $2.50 per 454 g which is about the current retail price.
GROWTH AND PRODUCTION OF BROWN AND WHITE SHRIMP (Penaeusaztecus and P. setiferus) FROM EXPERIMENTAL PONDS IN BRAZORIA AND ORANGE COUNTIES, TEXAS
Authors: Parker Jack C. , Holcomb Hoyt W. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTCulture experiments with Penaeus aztecus and P. setiferus were conducted during 1969‐71 in 0.2 ha earthen ponds located in Brazoria and Orange Counties, Texas. Five experiments utilizing 32 individual pond stockings provided information on growth, production, survival, food conversion, and condition of shrimp in potentially commercial ponds. All ponds were stocked at densities of 50,000 or 75,000 juvenile shrimp per ha. Juveniles were taken from nearby estuaries. It was determined that P. setiferus was better suited for pond culture than P. aztecus. Condition of shrimp followed a consistent pattern in every experiment, declining noticeably for a short period after stocking then gradually improving to a level near that at stocking then again declining. It was concluded that the initial decline resulted from stress due to stocking; the gradual improvement which followed indicated recovery from stress and the later decline possibly represented the effect of deteriorating water quality.
