The Importance of Phytoplankton Analysis in Seawater and Biotoxin Effects on Shellfish
Author: Muhammed Namseed Padinhar Ismail
29-01-2025Phytoplankton, the microscopic marine plants forming the base of the aquatic food web, play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. Their analysis in seawater is essential for monitoring environmental health, ensuring seafood safety, and assessing the impacts of harmful algal blooms (HABs). One of the major concerns related to phytoplankton is their ability to produce biotoxins that can accumulate in...
Challenges in Short-Term Preservation of Camel Semen at 5°C: A Breakthrough in Fertility
Author: Dr.Nabil Abdel Hamid Mansour
28-01-2025Camel breeding plays a vital role in regions where these animals are essential for transportation, dairy production, and cultural heritage. However, preserving camel semen for short-term use has posed significant challenges, particularly when cooled to 5°C. Recently, we achieved a major milestone: fertility with semen preserved for three days at refrigeration temperature. This success, enabled by...
Portable gas exchange tool to determine the plant physiological behaviour in relation to the stress.
