To assess the effect of TDG on the survival of different sizes of pelagic fish, bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) were subjected to TDG supersaturated water at levels of 125, 130, 135, and 140%.The results showed that apparent abnormal behaviours and symptoms of gas bubble disease (GBD) were observed in bighead carp.The survival probability
Pudding Bowl Sidestream dark field (SDF) imaging allows direct visualization of microvascular architecture and function.We examine the role of an SDF imaging device in visualizing the sub-lingual microvasculature as a surrogate for splanchnic microperfusion.We demonstrate good correlation between current monitoring techniques and the SDF imaging de
Abstract Background Traumatic hemopericardium remains a rare entity; it does however commonly cause cardiac tamponade which remains a major cause of death in traumatic blunt cardiac injury.Objectives We Pool Skimmers present a case of blunt chest trauma complicated by cardiac tamponade causing cardiac chamber equalization revealed by reflux of cont
Rapid developments in the field of underwater photogrammetry have given scientists the ability to produce accurate 3-dimensional (3D) models which are now increasingly used in the representation and study of local areas of interest.This paper addresses the lack of systematic analysis of 3D reconstruction and navigation fusion strategies, as well as
Visual species identification of cetacean strandings is difficult, especially when dead specimens are degraded and/or species are morphologically similar.The two recognised pilot whale species (Globicephala melas and Globicephala macrorhynchus) are sympatric in the North Atlantic Ocean.These species are very similar in external appearance and their
