Jane Goodale and the “Bryn Mawr Mafia”: The Origins and Consequences of Including Students in ASAO
Get PDFLate Bryn Mawr Professor Jane C. Goodale played an important role in the development of the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania (ASAO). One part of that role was encouraging her students to participate in the association early in their education and academic careers. The results of that encouragement are evident in the number of Bryn Mawr students (both undergraduates and graduate students) who went on to play important roles in ASAO themselves, the quality of their academic and intellectual careers, and the ongoing presence and importance of students at ASAO meetings
A History of ASAO Sessions: Formats and Topics
Get PDFThis paper provides a history of the organization from its earliest beginnings in the late 1960s as the Association for Social Anthropology in Eastern Oceania (inclusive of Polynesia and Micronesia), and its incorporation of Melanesian societies in the early 1970s, until 2017. Relying on ASAO Newsletters, we compiled a database of some 700 conference sessions from 1967 through 2017. Drawing on this as well as on the recollections of surviving founders of the organization and long-term members who were involved in the shaping of ASAO’s policies over the years, we analyze the rationales behind the evolution of procedural formats for processing papers from informal sessions, working sessions, and formal symposia to publishable volumes
Substituting dietary fishmeal with soybean meal isolate influences hepatic lipid metabolism and gut microbiota in spotted seabass (<em>Lateolabrax maculatus</em>)
Get PDFThis study was conducted to investigate the effects of partial substitution of dietary fishmeal (FM) by soy protein isolate (SPI) on lipid metabolism and gut microbiota of spotted seabass. A diet containing 30% FM formed the basal diet (FM), and two SPI diets were formulated in which 25% (SPI25) and 50% (SPI50) of FM were replaced by SPI. Each diet was fed to triplicates of fish for 56 days. The results showed that replacing dietary FM with SPI reduced triglyceride and cholesterol contents in the liver and serum, and the hepatic lipid droplets area was also decreased by dietary SPI inclusion. Furthermore, replacement of dietary FM with SPI markedly down-regulated the mRNA expression of genes involved in lipogenesis (srebpc-1c, fas, acc1, hmgcr, pparγ and chrebp) and lipolysis (atgl, hsl, pparα, and cpt1). Moreover, high-throughput sequencing analyses of gut microbiota revealed that dietary SPI inclusion dramatically decreased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Overall, this study indicated that replacing 25-50% of dietary FM with SPI could reduce lipid accumulation in serum and liver of spotted seabass, which was associated with the suppressed hepatic lipogenesis and the remodeled gut microbiota
Entirely Farm-raised Snubnose Pompano (Trachinotus blochii) Under High Salinity in Saudi Arabia
Get PDFSnubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii), a species of economic importance in the Red Sea region, has shown aquaculture potential in Saudi Arabia. The unique environment of the Red Sea causes aquaculture systems to operate under high salinity (42‰–45‰), but there is a lack of information regarding the culture of snubnose pompano in these conditions. This study estimated the survival, growth, and farming costs of snubnose pompano in two production systems: indoor and outdoor tanks. The experiments were performed in triplicate in 2020–2021, with 100 sub-adult fish per production system. The survival rate, growth performance, natural sexual maturation, and farming costs were determined. The results indicated that snubnose pompano culture is feasible under high salinity conditions using the indoor production system considering the significant differences in survival rate and growth performance, although the outdoor system had lower feed and labor costs. After 550 days of rearing, the sub-adult fish weighed more than 1,100–1,200 g, and both males and females had sexually mature gonads. These results show that spawning can be induced in high salinity (42‰) conditions. This study was the first to successfully farm-raise snubnose pompano in Saudi Arabia. Our results can thus be used as a reference for related research and aquaculture development in the Middle East region
