Effect of three fungicides on in vitro growth of Fusarium solani and Fusarium semitectum, parasitic on Odontesthes bonariensis eggs
An in vitro evaluation of the effect of three fungicides on the growth rate (GR) of Fusarium solani and Fusarium semitectum was performed. The tested fungicides, commonly used in fish farming, were sodium chloride (NaCl), methanol-stabilised formaldehyde (F) and malachite green (MG). Both Fusarium species were isolated from eggs of the Argentinean pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis (Valenciennes, ...

Seasonal emaciation causes tissue redistribution and an increased potential for toxicity of lipophilic pollutants in farmed arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus)
Many Arctic animals carry high body burdens of organochlorine contaminants (OCs) as a result of long‐range transport of persistent pollutants. It has been shown that seasonal mobilization of body fat in these species results in increased blood concentration of OCs. The authors investigated OC assimilation, tissue distribution, and biotransformation in farmed Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) ...

Hot spots in animal agriculture, emerging federal environmental policies and the potential for efficiency and innovation offsets
In North America and Northern Europe, high livestock densities in concentrated areas (hot spots) have led to manure surpluses, which have resulted in water pollution problems. Using the emerging policy objectives for animal waste in the European Union and the USA as a backdrop, this paper discusses the impact of environmental regulation on farm profits. A theoretical model of the farm is ...

Modifications of macrobenthos assemblages on land–based fish farm phytotreatment basins in the Orbetello lagoon
In the Orbetello lagoon basin there are some intensive land–based fish–farming facilities which contribute to cause a significant cyclic development of the opportunistic chorophycea Ulva laetevirens, and consequent serious decay events in spring and summer. To minimise the nutrients' impact, fish farming was supplied with phytotreatment system. The purpose of this study was to ...
