Platax teira (Forsskål, 1775)
No full textPlatax teira, also known as the teira batfish, longfin batfish, longfin spadefish is known to associate with floating seaweed, debris and artificial reefs. We report for the first time from Persian Gulf (Kish Island, Iran). Maximum length is 40-50 cm in Persian Gulf. Juveniles and adults occur inshore on protected reefs and in mangrove areas and also on wrecks and deep reefs to 20 m; they may be solitary, in pairs, or in large schools. Small juveniles with floating debris and form aggregations as they find each other. They can be pelagic to large sizes and form schools under large Sargassum rafts that usually form after the wet season. Like most spadefishes, this species is unafraid of divers. Flesh excellent, or rank, with a weedy flavor. The long-finned juveniles are valuable in the aquarium fish trade.Unpublishe

A new alien fish in the Mediterranean Sea - Platax teira (Forsskål, 1775) (Osteichthyes: Ephippidae)
No full textA single Platax teira (Forsskål, 1775) specimen was captured off Bodrum (southern Aegean Sea, Turkey) on 5 March 2006. It is the first record of this fish species in the Mediterranean Sea. Introduction of the species is probably due to an aquarium release. © 2006 The Author(s)
The lost millets
No full textThis documentary deals with researcher Andrés Teira Brión's investigation into a cereal that is almost extinct in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. In his research, Andrés takes us to meet the last millet farmers, and through their voices, we get to know the gradual abandonment of the rural world in this contemporary world. This work was recorded throughout the year 2023 in different locations in Portugal, Asturias and Galicia

Why Experimental Balance is Still a Reason to Randomize
No full textExperimental balance is usually understood as the control for the value of the conditions, other than the one under study, which are liable to affect the result of a test. We will discuss three different approaches to balance. ‘Millean balance’ requires to identify and equalize ex ante the value of these conditions in order to conduct solid causal inferences. ‘Fisherian balance’ measures ex post the influence of uncontrolled conditions through the analysis of variance. In ‘efficiency balance’ the value of the antecedent conditions is decided ex ante according to the efficiency they yield in the estimation of the treatment outcome. Against some old arguments by John Worrall, we will show that in both Fisherian and efficiency balance there are good reasons to randomize the allocation of treatments, in particular when there is no agreement among experimenters as to the antecedent conditions to be controlled for
Histological study on development of the digestive system of longfin batfish (Platax teira)
No full textThe ontogeny of the digestive tract in Platax teira was studied by means of optical microscopy from hatching to 30 days post-hatching. Collect fertilized eggs from P. teira broodstock, fertilize the eggs to hatch in hatching net bags, and rear the larvae in higher-place ponds. Observe the morphology and structure of the digestive tract of larvae 1-30 days post-hatching using tissue slicing technique. The results showed that the oral cavity of the larvae was closed and had not yet begun to differentiate at 1day post-hatching. Its digestive tract was close to the abdominal wall, and the yolk sac was completely dyed dark red. At 4 days post-hatching, the oropharyngeal cavity, esophagus, and stomach of the larvae had been communicated, and their oral cavity opened and food intake begins, entering the mixed period of endogenous nutrition and exogenous nutrition. Thereafter, the yolk sac gradually decreased to disappear, the esophagus, stomach, and intestines continued to differentiate, and their functions gradually improved. During 25-30 days post-hatching, the structure of the digestive tract of the larvae didn’t change much. Due to the increase in the size of the larvae, most changes in the digestive system are related to the complexity of the tissues and the size of the organs. Specifically, the number of mucosal folds and cells in the esophagus and intestine increases, and the gastric glands and pits in the stomach increase. The number of mucous membrane folds, mucosal epithelial cells and gastric glands in the digestive tract increase with the growth of the larvae, indicating that the development of the digestive system of P. teira is consistent with the growth of larvae, morphological development, feeding, metabolism and other functions consistently, its developmental stage is also adapted to the stages of the early development stage of P. teira
The Centrality of Probability
No full textThis chapter deals with a topic whose importance is too often ignored with respect to Ethical Counselling: probability. Probability, indeed, is at the core of many ethical decisions encountered in the age of molecular medicine, as in the case, for example, of carrier tests or predictive and presymptomatic tests, or whenever survival rates are at issue. Thus, understanding correctly the probabilistic information is extremely important and crucial and an ethical counsellor cannot be unprovided with such knowledg
