Here we investigate processes affecting productivity of capelin and walleye pollock in the Gulf of Alaska. We examine pelagic habitat selection by comparing the distribution of juvenile fish and their prey with oceanographic properties and we evaluate the potential for interspecific competition by comparing diets and measures of foraging. The primary field study was conducted in Barnabus Trough, Kodiak Island, Alaska, during September 2005. The distribution of fish was assessed acoustically and trawls were used to collect individual fish for stomach content analyses. Physical and biological data were collected with conductivity–temperature–depth probes and zooplankton tows. Age‐0 pollock were distributed in cool waters offshore of a mid‐trough front, coincident with the distribution of euphausiids, their preferred prey. In contrast, capelin and their prey (copepods) were distributed throughout the trough. We observed that sympatric capelin (occurring with pollock) often had reduced foraging success compared to allopatric capelin (occurring alone). Results of a bioenergetic model also suggest that the exclusion of capelin from foraging on euphausiids can have negative consequences for capelin growth. 相似文献

When lameness occurs in a load-bearing limb, compensatory load adjustments are made in the other supporting limbs. The vertical component of the ground reaction force, as measured by force platform analysis, reflects these adjustments. This study describes the pattern of vertical ground reaction force redistribution during experimental, chronic hindlimb lameness in dogs. The peak and impulse of the vertical ground reaction force were measured and described in 13 dogs before, and at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after transection of the cranial cruciate ligament. These variables were compared among limbs. The vertical ground reaction force in the forelimbs did not change significantly during the course of the study. At 2, 6, and 12 weeks after surgery, means of peak vertical force in the limb that underwent surgery were 18.9%, 44.0%, and 61.3% respectively, of presurgical values. In the contralateral limb, corresponding values were 131.7%, 112.8% and 112.9% respectively. If one accepts the relationship of mechanical loading to musculoskeletal architecture and the now certain relationship between lameness and compensatory loading of other limbs, then the use of another limb of the same animal as a control is a potential study design flaw. 相似文献

The vascular anatomy of the reverse saphenous conduit flap in cats was denned by contrast radiography of both hindlimbs of 18 feline cadaver specimens. In all 36 flaps, flow of contrast medium from the femoral artery to the distal end of the flap was documented. Direct anastomosis of the superficial branch of the cranial tibial artery with the cranial branch of the saphenous artery and communication of the caudal branch of the saphenous artery with the perforating metatarsal artery, via the medial and lateral plantar arteries, was documented. The cranial branch of the medial saphenous vein was shown to anastomose with the cranial branch of the lateral saphenous vein. The presence of these anastomoses support the feasibility of the reverse saphenous conduit flap as an option for reconstruction of wounds of the metatarsus in cats. 相似文献

One of the main factors hindering aquaculture production of American lobsters (Homarus americanus) is the need for a cost‐effective and nutritionally sound diet. Live Artemia results in good growth, but is expensive and is a constant source of contamination. Frozen Artemia, although lower in cost, generally results in decreased survivorship and growth relative to live Artemia. The recent advent and mass production of enriched frozen Artemia products may provide for a cost‐effective and nutritionally complete food source for culturing American lobsters. Here, commercially available frozen adult Artemia enriched with either n‐3 fatty acids, or Spirulina was fed to juvenile American lobsters, and their growth and survivorship for three months was compared with that of animals fed unenriched frozen adult Artemia. Both enriched Artemia products produced survivorship superior to that for animals fed unenriched Artemia. Results for growth were equivocal although animals fed the Spirulina‐enriched Artemia had the greatest condition factor. Although more costly by the end of the experiment, enriched diets were more economically efficient than unenriched Artemia. This research demonstrates that enriched feedstuffs are cost‐effective over longer time intervals, and benefits may continue beyond the hatchery‐rearing phase. Enriched diets may also yield animals with a better condition factor, which may further influence their survivorship when released to the wild in enhancement programmes. 相似文献

Feline mycobacterial skin infections are reviewed briefly. A case of skin granulomas in a cat associated with the presence of the fast–growing acid–fast bacillus, Mycobacterium fortuitum , is reported. Surgical excision was followed by recurrence, but resolution of the lesions was obtained by tetracycline therapy for 12 weeks interspersed with a 14–day course of choloramphenicol. An attempt at experimental transmission to a kitten was unsuccessful. The characteristics of the fast–growing mycobacteria and the possible sources of infection are discussed. 相似文献

This paper describes a mycetoma of the fourth tarsal bone of a 5-year-old spayed Corgi-cross bitch caused by the eumycete Curvularia geniculata. The condition was treated successfully by surgical excision, followed by chemotherapy using iodine, trimethoprim-sulphadiazine, amphotericin B. dimethyl sulphoxide. thiabendazole and nystatin. An attempt was made to establish the in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration of various antifungal drugs on the causative organism. No clinical or radiological evidence of recurrence was found 3 years after initiation of treatment, despite the original poor prognosis. 相似文献

Pasteurella sp. were isolated from tonsillar swabs obtained from 100 dogs and 100 cats; isolation rates were 92 per cent and 99 per cent respectively. Isolates were identified according to recent taxonomic data. P. multocida subsp. multocida and subsp. septica were common in cats but not in dogs. P. canis was common in both dogs and cats. Compared with strains from dogs, those from cats were more pathogenic for mice. Many of the species isolated are considered potential human pathogens. 相似文献
