Migratory sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) were collected in spring from rivers flowing into Lakes Ontario, Erie, and Huron. Lengths, weights, liver weights, and liver colors were recorded. Livers were analyzed for fat, water, and protein content. Transmission spectra of chloroform extracts of liver pigments were also obtained. Female livers from Lake Ontario and Lake Huron lamprey were larger than male livers, whereas male livers of Lake Erie lamprey were larger than female livers. In all three samples female livers developed a green coloration more rapidly than did male livers, as a result of a more rapid accumulation of biliverdin. Male livers had a much higher fat content, but by the end of spawning even these livers had a reduced fat content. Initially the water content of male livers was much lower but by spawning time no real difference was found between male and female livers. No significant difference could be detected in the protein content of male and female livers.

Fish is highly nutritious, tasty, and easily digestible. It is much sought after by a broad cross-section of the world’s population, particularly in developing countries as it provides the cheapest protein source. Nigeria is blessed with numerous inland freshwater rivers and lakes scattered all over the country. This freshwater habitat consists of many species of fish that have successfully dominated all niches over time and have for many reasons remained unstudied. The situation concealed a lot of scientific information particularly on food security and safety to the inmates and the country at large. Jega River which transcended many States in the North-Western part of Nigeria to open into the river Niger is one of such rivers largely uncared for, study-wise. African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Tilapia (Tilapia zillii) have been wisely selected for the present proximate composition studies. The juveniles of these fishes were purchased from local fishermen in Mariner Waje landing site of the river which flows by Jega town, a local government area in Kebbi State, Nigeria. For the study, the methodology approved by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) was used to determine the proximate composition of the fishes. The highest percentage crude protein content of 49.18 ± 0.30% was observed in juvenile female C. gariepinus; while the lowest protein content of 39.22± 0.50% was observed in juvenile male T. zilli. The highest percentage lipid content of 11.75± 1.50% was observed in juvenile female tilapia; while the lowest percentage lipid content of 6.25± 0.29% was observed in male African catfish. The highest percentage fibre content of 4.00 ± 0.29% was observed in male and female C. gariepinus, while the lowest percentage fibre content of 0.75± 0.29% was observed in male tilapia. There were variations (p< 0.05) when the protein and lipid contents of both the species were compared with each other. There was also a significant difference (p< 0.05) when the carbohydrate contents were compared between the fish species, but there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) when the fibre content was compared within the species. The analyses showed that both the male and female fish species studied had high protein contents.

in recent years, great attention has been paid to the quality of eaten meat and its products. There have been launched a lot of promotional campaigns aimed at providing opportunities for the consumption of traditional products. Based on the experiment, a significantly higher protein content was found in sausages produced by large producers (24.73 &plusmn; 1.98%). The fat content was significantly higher in traditional ham (16.25 &plusmn; 14.47%), compared with local ham (4.38&nbsp;&plusmn; 2.26%) and the mass (9.29 &plusmn; 5.25%). The samples of traditional and local ham had a significantly higher salt content (3.31 &plusmn; 0.72 and 2.90 &plusmn; 0.54%, respectively). No dye compounds were detected in any of the tested samples. There were no statistically significant differences in hydroxyproline and l‑glutamic acid content between traditional and conventional samples of meat products. Analysis of nitrate (V and III) showed a statistically significant difference in the average contents of these compounds. Significantly higher levels of nitrates were revealed only in traditional ham samples (12.60 &plusmn; 8.08 mg NaNO(V)/kg and 17.53 &plusmn; 27.91 mg NaNO(III)/kg of the product, respectively), wherein there was a large variation in the content of these compounds in the samples.

Meat products play an important role in the modern diet. The production of cooked sausages comprises an important segment in the complex meat industry. Hot dogs are prepared according to production specifications and differences in the quality of products can therefore be expected. This paper presents a comparative analysis of chemical parameters in products of five different manufacturers at the Novi Sad market. Water content, fat, protein, sodium chloride, the relative protein content of connective tissue in meat protein (RCP) and ash were analyzed. The difference between the average contents of chemical quality parameters in hot dogs was examined. The average water content ranged from 56.29?3.30% to 61.44?4.08%. The average total fat content ranged from 17.60?3.07% to 20.66?4.65%. No statistically significant difference (p?0.05) was detected in the fat content of the products of manufacturers D and B, as well as C and B. Between the average fat content of the producers E and D the difference in fat content was found to be p?0.01. In all other cases, the difference between the average fat content was p?0.001. The average total protein content in hot dogs ranged from 11.77?1.08% and 15.41?1.82. No statistically significant difference (p?0.05) was detected between the average total protein content in hot dogs of manufacturers A and C. Between the average protein content of D and E meat manufacturers the statistically significant difference had a value of p?0.01, and the average protein content in hot dogs of all other manufacturers had a significant difference (p?0.001). The total protein content in all five manufacturers of hot dogs met the prescribed standard (10%). RCP content in the hot dogs of different producers ranged from 17.34?0.95% to 22.33?2.08%. No statistically significant difference (p?0.05) was detected in the average contents of RCP in hot dogs of manufacturers D and E and A and B. but a statistically significant difference was detected (p?0.001). between the average content of RCP in all other manufacturers of hot dogs. The average chloride content in hot dogs from different manufacturers ranged from 1.30?0.10% to 2.55%?0.16%. The average ash content in different hot dog producers ranged from 1.99?0.18% to 3.46?0.22%. The average content of chloride and ash in all five manufacturers was significantly different.

Iron (Fe) concentration was measured in unfertilized eggs, embryos, prolarvae, and young larvae (up to day 56) of sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) raised in two substrates to determine (i) the importance of maternal transfer to Fe accumulation in sea lampreys and (ii) the influence of substrate on Fe uptake in young larvae. Unfertilized eggs contained about 35 ng of Fe, supporting the maternal transfer hypothesis. There were no significant changes in Fe concentration in developing embryos and prolarvae after hatching. Young larvae rapidly accumulated Fe from their burrowing substrate and the amount accumulated depended on the amount of Fe in the substrate. Since this rapid accumulation coincides with the beginning of exogenous feeding, as well as burrowing, environmental sources of Fe appear to be important contributors to Fe body burdens in larval sea lampreys.

We derived a quantitative feeding model to estimate energy intake by parasitic sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) as a function of lamprey mass, host mass, and attachment time. Comparison of model predictions with observed growth by lampreys with known feeding histories suggests that the feeding model, used in conjunction with a previous model of lamprey energetics, generates unbiased predictions of energy intake and subsequent growth. On the basis of the relationship between energy intake and attachment time, and in accordance with previous theory on partial prey consumption, we hypothesized that duration of attachment by lampreys to individual hosts should vary inversely with host density. No significant difference in attachment time or latency to attack at two host densities could be detected, although the first attachment by a lamprey tended to be longer than its second, regardless of host density.

Представлены результаты исследований физико-механических свойств, химического состава и показателей безопасности составных частей (мякоть, кожура, семена) дыни сорта «Торпеда». В результате сопоставительного анализа химического состава мякоти, кожуры и семян дыни показано их существенное различие. Так, содержание жира в мякоти составляет 0,26±0,003 г, в кожуре - 1,24±0,01 г, в семенах - 26,21±0,31, содержание белка составляет 7,56±0,11; 9,92±0,14 и 21,52±0,32 г соответственно. Изучение содержания редуцирующих веществ и сырой клетчатки показало их высокое содержание в кожуре по сравнению с мякотью и семенами. Установлено, что высокое содержание калия (934,88±14,02 г) и натрия (270,54±3,78 г) сосредоточены в мякоти, высокое содержание железа (15,12±0,23) - в кожуре, а высокое содержание фосфора (854,72±0,82 г) - в семенах. По результатам исследований доказано, что показатели безопасности дыни сорта «Торпеда» полностью соответствуют требованиям ТР ТС 021/2011. The results of studies of the physical and mechanical properties, chemical composition and safety indicators of the constituent parts (pulp, peel, seeds) of «Torpedo» melon are presented. As a result of a comparative analysis of the chemical composition of the pulp, peel and seeds of the melon, their significant difference was shown. Thus, the fat content in the pulp is 0.26±0.003 g, in the peel - 1.24±0.01 g, in the seeds - 26.21±0.31, the protein content is, respectively, 7.56±0.11; 9.92±0.14 and 21.52±0.32 g. The study of the content of reducing substances and crude fiber showed their high content in the peel, in comparison with the pulp and seeds. It was found that a high content of potassium (934.88±14.02 g) and sodium (270.54±3.78 g) are concentrated in the pulp, a high content of iron (15.12±0.23) - in the peel, and a high phosphorus content (854.72±0.82 g) - in seeds. According to the research results, it has been proven that the safety indicators of the Torpedo melon fully comply with the requirements of TR CU 021/2011.

The present experiment was aimed to study the effect of bee pollen on the meat chemical composition of broiler’s Ross 308 breast and thigh muscles. In the experimental groups were added bee pollen in an amount (group E1 – 2 500 mg.kg−1, group E2 – 3 500 mg.kg−1 and E3 – 4 500 mg.kg−1) to the feed mixtures for 42 days. At the end of the study the water content was higher in experimental groups than the control group and on breasts there were a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between control groups and experimental groups (E1, E2 and E3) also there was a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between the experimental E3 and experimental E1, E2 groups. In protein content, the control group was higher than experimental groups and there no significant differences (P ≥ 0.05) among the groups. In fat content, the control group (2.04%, 13.2%) was higher than experimental groups E1 group (1.59%, except thigh 14.11%), E2 group (1.70%, 13.00%) and E3 group (1.51%, 10.96%) and on breast there were significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) between control group and experimental groups E1, E3 and on thigh there were significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) between experimental E3 and experimental E1, E2 groups. In energy value (kJ.100 g−1) of the breast and thigh muscles in control was higher than experimental groups and on the breasts there were a significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) between control group and experimental groups (E1, E3) and on the thigh there were significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) between experimental E1 and experimental E3 groups. From the study we concluded that the bee pollen has a positive effect of the breast’s meat chemical composition of broiler, which led to increase the water contact and reduce the fat content and energy value, but he had a normal effect on thigh, also bee pollen has normal effect on the protein content of the breast and thigh muscles.
