Impact of sheep grazing on juvenile sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax L., in tidal salt marshes
No full textThe diet of young of the year sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax L., from sheep grazed and ungrazed tidal salt marshes were com-pared qualitatively and quantitatively in Mont Saint-Michel Bay. In areas without grazing pressure, the vegetation gradient changes from a pioneer Puccinellia maritima dominated community at the tidal ¯at boundaries through a Atriplex portulacoides dominated community in the middle of the marsh to a mature Elymus pungens dominated community at the landward edge. The A. portula-coides community is highly productive and provides important quantities of litter which provides a habitat and good supply to substain high densities of the detrivorous amphipod Orchestia gammarellus. In the grazed areas, the vegetation is replaced by P. maritima communities, a low productive grass plant, and food availability and habitat suitability are reduced for O. gammarellus. Juvenile sea bass colonise the salt marsh at ¯ood during 43% of the spring tides which inundate the salt marsh creeks. They forage inside the marsh and feed mainly on O. gammarellus in the ungrazed marshes. In grazed areas, this amphipod is replaced by other species and juvenile sea bass consume less food from the marsh. This illustrates a direct effect of a terrestrial herbivore on a coastal food web, and suggests that management of salt marsh is complex and promotion of one component of their biota could involve reductions in other species
RNA-seq analysis to understand resistance to viral nervous necrosis in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus Labrax, L)
No full textreservedEuropean sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) is strongly susceptible to viral nervous necrosis (VNN).
nowadays, selective breeding is a method in which increase genetic resistance in european sea bass.
A sea bass experimental population (N = 40) was challenged with nervous necrosis virus (NNV) in order to measure
genetic variation in VNN mortality as well as antibody titer against NNV antigens after exposure to (VNN)

Interview with Julie Bass
No full textObjective: The purpose of the life history of Julie Bass, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, is to gain an insight into her life, her leadership experiences, and her years of work in the occupational therapy (OT) profession to provide current and future generations of occupational therapists a view of how occupational therapy practice has evolved over time.
Method: An in-depth, semi-structured interview was guided by an interview schedule prepared by the project directors. The interview took place via Zoom conference at the University of North Dakota and lasted two hours. The interview was transcribed verbatim and coded with 22 codes. The codes were collapsed into three categories, and then 12 themes emerged.
Results: The predominant themes reflect Dr. Bass’ emphasis on the importance of maintaining impactful relationships, viewing the world through an occupational lens, and participating in research and advocacy to help advance the practice of occupational therapy. The findings indicate her success as a leader in occupational therapy practice and the impact she has made on the growth of the profession.
Conclusion: Throughout her career in higher education and occupational therapy practice, Dr. Bass has dedicated her time to maintaining personal and professional relationships, promoting advances in the profession of occupational therapy, and preserving her occupational lens on the world. Her passion, dedication, and advocacy have helped push the profession to advance into emerging areas of practice
Interview with Gail Bass, PhD, OTR/L
No full textThe life history of Dr. Gail Bass was one of 31 life history interviews conducted as part of a larger project of Life Histories of Individuals Who have Been Influential in Developing Occupational Therapy (OT) in North Dakota and Wyoming. The purpose of this Life History is to gather information about the evolution and history of OT practice from individuals who have been influential in developing OT. This study is intended to help current and future occupational therapists understand how the career has evolved throughout the existence of the profession. The life history of Dr. Gail Bass is a case study that examined her experiences as an OT practitioner, educator, and learner. This study used the Kawa model to guide the interview and data analysis. The model uses the analogy of a river representing the flow of their life history with rocks representing barriers, driftwood representing aspects that could either facilitate or hinder the flow of their river, and the riverbed representing the contexts that surrounds the individual (Turpin & Iwama, 2011
PREFERENCES OF MID-ATLANTIC SEAFOOD BUYERS TOWARD FARM-RAISED HYBRID STRIPED BASS
No full textA market survey of three mid-Atlantic food-fish market levels was conducted to provide information on finfish buyers' market characteristics, finfish attribute preferences, and buyers' attitudes toward farm-raised hybrid striped bass. Results showed that most firms are located in the suburban areas, and they purchased their fish from producers and wholesalers. Quality was rated as the most important finfish attribute; and, aside from restaurants, buyers are generally familiar with hybrid striped bass and indicated that it could easily be substituted for wild striped bass. Most buyers were either not sure or feel hybrid striped bass could not substitute for other fish species although they all expressed a willingness to offer farm-raised hybrid striped bass. Finally, the possibility of fish farmers selling directly to all market levels has great potential if the fish size is around two to three pounds and the form is whole for the wholesaler and retailer and fillet for the restaurants.Consumer/Household Economics,
Feeding ecology of 0-group sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax in salt marshes of Mont Saint-Michel bay (France)
No full text0-group sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, colonize intertidal marsh creeks of Mont Saint Michel Bay, France, on spring tides (e.g., 43% of the tides) during flood and return to coastal waters during ebb. Most arrived with empty stomachs (33%), and feed actively during their short stay in the creeks (from 1 to 2 h) where they consumed on average a minimum of 8% of their body weight. During flood tide, diet was dominated by mysids, Neomysis integer, which feed on marsh detritus. During ebb, when young sea bass left tidal marsh creeks, the majority had full stomachs (more than 98%) and diet was dominated by the most abundant marsh (including vegetated tidal flats and associated marsh creeks) resident amphipod, Orchestia gammarellus. Temporal and tidal effects on diet composition were shown to be insignificant. Foraging in vegetated flats occurs very rarely since they are only flooded by about 5% of the tides. It was shown that primary and secondary production of intertidal salt marshes play a fundamental role in the feeding of 0-group sea bass. This suggests that the well known nursery function of estuarine systems, which is usually restricted to subtidal and intertidal flats, ought to be extended to the supratidal, vegetated marshes and mainly to intertidal marsh creeks
Exploring the needs and experiences of educators in facilitating use of the Bass Model of Holistic Reflection
No full textHealth professionals are required to reflect on practice to evaluate and improve care in rapidly changing health care environments. This study explored the professional development needs of educators facilitating development of reflective capacity in midwifery students using the Bass Model of Holistic Reflection. Thirteen midwifery academics at two Australian universities took part in the study conducted in three phases. Phase 1 identified the learning needs of educators described as ‘understanding the building blocks of reflection’; ‘practical application of the model, and ‘assessment of reflective capacity’. Phase 2 involved an Intervention including development of a reflective practice tool kit and delivery of a two-day workshop. Phase 3 evaluated the experience of educators using the resources and four themes emerged: 1) ‘Educators value a reflective practice toolkit’; 2) ‘A toolkit builds confidence and trust in the model through promotion of deep personal reflection’; 3) ‘Effective use of the model is key to achieving consistency in application by educators; and 4) ‘Deeper understanding of the model promotes transformation of practice’. This paper confirms the importance of developing resources for educators, that support reflective pedagogy when implementing models of reflection into curricula.No Full Tex
