Non-lethal heat shock boosts bacterial and viral disease tolerance in shrimp, possibly due to increases in endogenous heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and/or immune proteins.To further understand the mechanisms protecting shrimp against infection, Hsp70 and the mRNAs encoding the immune-related proteins prophenoloxidase (proPO), peroxinectin, penaeidi

The Womens Skirts Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea) is one of the most mercury-polluted areas in the Mediterranean and in the world due to the past mining activity in the Idrija region (western Slovenia).The link between microbial production of toxic methylmercury (MeHg), and its bioaccumulation and biomagnification in marine food webs of the
Cold plasma (CP) has become an alternative to conventional thermal processing of food products.In this study, the effect of cold plasma treatment time on the inactivation and quality of tilapia fillets was investigated.The surfaces of tilapia fillets were inoculated with Salmonella enteritis (S.enteritis), Listeria monocytogenes (L.monocytogenes),
