Water quality changes during establishment and maintenance of nitrification in four 70-liter recirculating systems each containing 20 channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) (total weight 150 g) are described. Establishment of nitrification took 33 days. During establishment of nitrification, all catfish in the systems died. Death appeared to be related to nitrite concentrations greater than 2.5 mg/liter NO2-N. The pH declined with progressive nitrification. When the pH was less than 6.0, nitrification ceased. Within 2 wk of introducing the catfish, total bacterial counts stabilized at 106 organisms per milliliter. Counts of lactose fermenters and aeromonads fluctuated around 104 organisms per milliliter when fish were in the system and decreased markedly after the fish were removed. After establishment of nitrification, 40 channel catfish (total weight 100 g) were maintained successfully for 37 days.

<p>We investigated the effect of repeated freeze-thaw cycles on the quality of rabbit meat. Twenty-five Hyla rabbits were slaughtered using standard commercial procedures. A freeze-thaw procedure—i.e., seven days frozen at –18°C followed by thawing at 4°C for 12h— was repeated 5 times, and 9 <em>Longissimus thoracis et lumborum</em> muscles were randomly selected at pre-set cycles (0, 1, 2, 3, and 5). The <em>Longissimus lumborum</em> muscles were used to determine meat quality parameters, while the <em>Longissimus thoracis</em> muscles were used for chemical analysis. During the repeated freeze-thaw process, muscle pH, redness, hardness, and water holding capacity gradually decreased, whereas meat lightness and yellowness gradually increased. The amount of total volatile basic nitrogen significantly increased (<em>P</em>&lt;0.05) and exceeded the threshold value for frozen meat after 5 repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The metmyoglobin proportion, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and protein carbonyl content in rabbit meat samples increased with a higher number of freeze-thaw cycles (<em>P</em>&lt;0.05), and the proportions of these compounds were positively correlated. During the repeated freeze-thaw process, extractable haeme iron levels significantly decreased (<em>P</em>&lt;0.05), and non-haeme iron levels markedly increased (<em>P</em>&lt;0.05). An sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis indicated that the degradation of both water- and salt-soluble proteins was more prevalent in samples subjected to higher numbers of freeze-thaw cycles. Additionally, a principal component analysis identified good correlations between physicochemical properties (TBARS, protein carbonyl levels and metmyoglobin content) and quality parameters (thawing loss, redness, lightness and hardness). Taken together, we conclude that the repeated freeze-thaw process can strongly affect rabbit meat quality as well as its physicochemical properties.</p>
