GONAD [11 records]

Record 1 2021-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Crustaceans
CONT

Unilateral eyestalk ablation has been widely implemented in aquaculture to accelerate the gonadal maturation and consequently increase the seed production of shrimp broodstock... This technique removes one eyestalk, which hosts the sinus-organ X that produces hormones such as the gonad inhibiting hormone. These hormones are responsible for accelerating maturation and leads to predictable peaks of maturation and spawning that facilitates the setting up of production schedules... This practice, however, has been associated with high broodstock mortalities and poor-quality offspring...

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses

CONT

The Fulton condition index for the Greenland halibut... is used as an indicator of the condition of Greenland halibut in August. It is calculated based on the total weight of the fish. Using somatic weight(the fish's total weight, minus gonad weight and stomach content weight) to calculate this index is generally preferable, in order to eliminate the variability that can be caused by feeding intensity and/or different degrees of gonad maturation in fish...

CONT

L'indice de condition de Fulton [...] est utilisé comme indicateur de l'état de santé des flétans du Groenland au mois d'août. L'indice est calculé à partir du poids total du poisson. Il est généralement préférable d'utiliser le poids somatique (poids total du poisson moins le poids des gonades et le poids du contenu stomacal) afin d'éliminer la variabilité dans la mesure de l'indice de condition pouvant être causée par une intensité d'alimentation et/ou un degré de maturation des gonades différents entre les poissons [...]

It [the genetically significant dose] is therefore equivalent to the individual gonad dose weighted by the probability of the individual person procreating a child after the irradiation has occurred. In practice this weighting is done by multiplying the gonad dose by a "child expectancy factor", which depends on the sex and age of the individual and the birth statistics of the relevant population.
