Pacific herring

The fatty acids of the copepod (small crustacean, a major fish feed) triglycerides and wax esters are compared with the compositions of commercial capelin, mackerel, Atlantic herring. Pacific herring and anchovy in Table 3.182 (Ackman, 1980).

Pacific herring Clupeus harenguspallast) spawn synchronously by the millions near shore, their suspended milt discoloring the water. Small clusters of males start, then activity spreads to an entire school. Spawning lasts several hours in...

Betel nut, the source of arecoline, is dried, smoked or salted in preparation for chewing by the natives of southern Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines and eastern Africa. The pieces are rolled in a betel leaf vine which has been smeared with quicklime. Chewing this concoction makes the saliva red. The musical South Pacific has Bloody Mary as one of its main characters. Her name denoted the color of her tongue and teeth. 

The fatty acid profile specific to each food item appears in the tissues of the predator whatever food is consumed (Lasker and Theilacker, 1962 Brenner et al., 1963 De Witt, 1963 Kayama et al., 1963 Lovem, 1964 Saddler et al., 1966 Addison etal., 1968 Ratnayake and Ackman, 1979 Bolgova, 1993 and others). The profound influence of food has been demonstrated in many species of marine fish California sardine (Lasker and Theilacker, 1962), Pacific anchovy (Hayashi and Takagi, 1978), Adantic herring (Lovem, 1937, 1964 Ackman and Eaton, 1966, 1976 Henderson and Almater, 1989), Pacific sardine (Takahashi et al.,...

In December 1987, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG E) reported to the Environmental Protection Agency that it had detected levels of chromium (VI) at its natural gas compression station near Hinkley, California, that were ten times higher than those allowed by government standards. These reports devalued land in the community and sparked the curiosity of Erin Brockovich, who was working in a law office as a secretary. Her passionate investigation into... 

Despite her 1930s pacifism, at the beginning of the Second World War, Moyle became a research worker for the Ministry of Supply (Chemical Defence), studying the biochemical effects of war gases. Then, in 1943, Needham, whose other main... 

In her 9-year field study in the North Pacific central gyre, Venrick (1974) reported that for most of the years Richelia associated with Rhizosolenia were relatively low (0.1-1 Richelia ceU ml ) in abundance, however, in summer months when the upper water column stratified and nutrients were measurably low, symbiotic populations increased 1-2 orders of magnitude. Environmental parameters, i.e., nutrient concentrations, during bloom and non-bloom summers in the upper 45 m were indistinguishable, suggesting little evidence for a condition to initiate and perpetuate the blooms. Venrick (1974) proposed that the blooms were a localized phenomena occurring independently at various locations within the central Pacific...
