GREEN FISH [12 records]

Record 1 2023-06-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Seafood and Freshwater Food (Food Industries)
  • Commercial Fishing
DEF

... fish which has recently been salted and is still moist.

CONT

The processes used for salting cod are generally the same in most areas and time periods, with some local variations. The colonial New England cod fishery is typical. Cod was either "dry cured" or "green cured. "For a dry cure, fish were usually cleaned, split, salted, and then stored aboard ship after each haul so they would not deteriorate at sea. Once the the ship returned to shore, the fish would be repacked, resalted, and eventually sun dried into tough, durable slabs that could be stacked and stored like wood. Dry curing was used when fishers traveled long distances to fishing grounds. In contrast, green curing, in which the fish were cleaned, salted, and dried on land rather than at sea, was used on shorter trips to nearby fishing grounds.... Because it was a faster process, green curing did not wring as much water out of the fish as dry curing. Green-cured fish therefore was considered to be of lower quality and did not last as long.

An East Indian seasoning made by pulverizing sun-dried, unripe(green) mango into a fine powder.

Amchoor is also called simply mango powder; it's also spelled amchur.

CONT

L’amchoor est de la poudre de mangue verte séchée au soleil. Elle convient bien aux plats dans lesquels on veut ajouter une touche d’acidité sans pour autant ajouter du liquide, comme du jus de citron ou du tamarin. On l’utilise aussi avantageusement dans les marinades et les sautés, car elle a la propriété d’attendrir les viandes.

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Reproduction (Medicine)
DEF

The determination of the sex of an embryo, typically by means of PCR [polymerase chain reaction] involving amplification from a small sample of embryonic tissue, using primers specific for a locus on the Y chromosome.

CONT

FISH [fluorescent in situ hybridisation] is used for the analysis of chromosomes and is the preferred method of embryo sexing for patients at risk of transmitting X-linked diseases.

CONT

It is now possible to detect some genetic diseases in very early embryos by a procedure known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis(PGD). [...] PGD has primarily been used to determine the sex of embryos for couples who carry a sex linked disease, such as haemophilia or muscular dystrophy,(which affect only boys). Embryo sexing is achieved by subjecting the biopsied cells to fluorescent in situ hybridisation(FISH) where the X-and Y-chromosomes in the cells are labelled red and green.

CONT

Town-Country Symbiosis in Calcutta. Historically, the city's eastward expansion halted west of a marginal zone of low lying marshlands, variously known as Dhapa, East Calcutta, or the area of the salt water lakes. Here a symbiotic, creative relationship exists between town and country. With the participation of the rural inhabitants, much of the solid trash, liquid sewage, and polluted air generated by the metropolis of over ten million inhabitants is recycled into organic nutrients, fresh water, and clean air. The system reduces urban waste, creates a daily supply of fresh fish and green vegetables for Calcutta's kitchens, and generates employment and revenue for East Calcutta's thirty-odd villages.

Microscopic plants usually existing in suspension in the upper few feet of water often reaching bloom proportions making the water appear brownish or pea soup green.

Les phosphates présents dans certaines lessives nécessitent des traitements spéciaux de déphosphatation. Peu de villes sont équipées d'installations adaptées. Ils rejoignent donc directement les plans d'eau où ils provoquent l'eutrophisation : devant un apport important de phosphates, les algues planctoniques qui s'en nourrissent forment un épais tapis vert à la surface de l'eau, privant ainsi les autres habitants des rivières de la lumière et de l'oxygène.
