Feeding activity, based on the mean quantity of food taken per individual, was closely related to water temperature and salinity (S) changes, especially being highest over about 25°C (S 28-30) and reduced to zero below about 16°C (S 34).

Changes in sensory evaluation, and microbiological and chemical characteristics were investigated throughout the storage period. The overall sensory score and textural evaluation of the H-Aw type decreased faster than the L-Aw type at each storage temperature. Viable cell counts and VB-N values of the H-Aw type were larger than the L-Aw type at each temperature during the storage period. As for microflora in the H-Aw type, Enterobacteriaceae was significant in the middle period at 10°C, and was very common at 20°C after 2 days of storage. Lactobacillus finally dominated under the temperature conditions examined. In the L-Aw type, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus were predominant on the last day of storage at 20°C, and 10 and 5°C storage, respectively. These findings suggest that the storage temperature and Aw of smoked salmon are closely correlated to shelf-life, because a combination of storage temperature and Aw affected the viable cell counts and formation of microflora during the storage period and induced the changes of sensory evaluation and VB-N values.","PeriodicalId":9361,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries","volume":"68 1","pages":"569-576"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74295190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the cultivation system supplied with air, the maximum rotifer population did not exceed 4, 000-5, 000 individuals/ml because oxygen levels were restricted due to the accumulation of undissociated ammonia. Feeding oxygen gas to the rotifer culture system enabled high density cultivation with a population of 20, 000 individuals/ml.

The liver lipids of firefly squid were characterized by high levels of triglycerides (60.9-72.7%) with small amounts of other components. The lipid class composition was more or less constant in spite of the differences in the fishing ground and season.

It was apparent that the proteolytic activities of GDFs responsible for MHC degradation of meat gels from all species at 40°C resulted from two myofibril-associated (Mf) type proteinases, mainly of serine proteinase and slightly of cysteine proteinase. In addition, as indicated by the amino acid patterns obtained from TCA-soluble fraction of meat gels with the presence of various inhibitors, these proposed proteinases were not distinct in these three species. With regard to the MHC degradation at 60°C, the proteolytic activity present in GDFs of maeso, proposed as myofibril-associated gel degrading factors (Mf-GDFs), belonged to cysteine proteinase while that of wanieso and tokageeso were sarcoplasmic-type serine proteinases. The Mf-GDF corresponding to the MHC degradation at 60°C, which occasionally occurs in wanieso meat gel, showed the proteolytic activities of serine proteinase.","PeriodicalId":9361,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74724171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spawning was induced by intra-mascular injection of pituitary homogenate of the chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta and the genital hormone. Spawning occurred 36 hours after hormone treatment and 1, 400, 000 and 7, 000, 000 eggs were obtained in 1990 and 1991, respectively. The eggs were pelagic, spherical, and 1.05-1.20mm in diameter with a single oil globule of 0.22-0.28mm. The larvae hatched out 37 hours after spawning (W. T. 24.6°C). The newly hatched larvae were 2.7-3.1mm in length with 26 myotomes and a single oil globule. The yolk was mostly absorbed on the 4th day after hatching when the larvae attained 3.9mm in length and began to feed on rotifers. In the postlarval stage (6.3mm B. L.) the rudiments of ventral, dorsal, and anal fins began to develop and the vertebra was well ossified. In the juvenile stage (11.2mm B.

Better growth and feed efficiency were found in fish fed on diets with replacement of 10% of all the protein sources used, and the performance further increased as the replacement with meat meal was increased up to 30%. On the other hand, the performance tended to decrease as the replacement of other sources were increased to levels of more than 10%, and the worst performance together with diminished blood and serum characteristics were found in fish fed on the diet with 30% rapeseed meal.
