Carotenoids are determinants of reproductive fitness and egg quality. Here we studied the accumulation of astaxanthin (AX), canthaxanthin (CA) zeaxanthin (ZX), lutein (LU), retinol (RX) and dehydroretinol (DR) during vitellogenesis comparing previtellogenic and vitellogenic pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) eggs (n = 5 each), as well as selected tissues (liver, fat and muscles) in first süawning females (1176-1450 g). Futhermore, we compared egg batches with high (88-99% hatching rate, n = 5) or low (40-67% hatching rate, n= 5) egg quality. Vitellogenic follicles revealed higher concentrations of DR, RX, ZX and LU compared to previtellogenic follicles. Neither CA nor AX was detectable. In parallel, DR and RX were mobilized in the liver. In adipose and muscle tissue, comparing previtellogenic and vitellogenic females, no significant differences in carotenoid/retinoid content were observed. In high quality egg batches, both DR and RX were increased. LU was lower in high quality than in low quality eggs. In a conclusion, the amount of retinoids seems suboptimal in low quality egg batches and increased DR and RX are desirable in pikeperch. Since hypervitaminosis of retinoids can be problematic though, supplementation of the food with carotenoids, which can serve as precursors for retinoids, has to be carried out carefully.

Walleye (Sander vitreus) populations in Alberta, Canada, collapsed by the mid-1990s and were a case study in the paper Canada’s Recreational Fisheries: The Invisible Collapse? Here we fit age-structured population dynamics models to data from a landscape-scale monitoring program to assess walleye population status and reconstruct recruitment dynamics following the invisible collapse. Assessments indicated that populations featured low Fmsy values of approximately 0.2–0.3 under conservative assumptions for the stock–recruitment relationship but that many populations were lightly exploited during 2000–2018. Recruitment reconstructions showed that recovery from collapse in 33/55 lakes was driven in part by large positive recruitment anomalies that occurred during 1998–2002. Additionally, 15/55 lakes demonstrated cyclic recruitment dynamics. The documented recruitment anomalies and cyclic fluctuations could be due to environmental effect(s) or cannibalism, and experimentation is likely necessary to resolve this uncertainty. These findings contribute new information on the recovery dynamics of walleye following the invisible collapse and demonstrate the effectiveness of coupling traditional fisheries science models with broad-scale monitoring data to improve understanding of population dynamics and sustainability across landscapes.

Walleye (Sander vitreus) are the top nearshore predator in the Bay of Quinte and eastern Lake Ontario, where they have strong ecological and socio-economic impacts. The population is known to migrate seasonally; however, the precise timing and extent are not well defined. This study used acoustic telemetry to provide a fisheries-independent measure of timing, extent, and seasonal distribution of migration in Lake Ontario and to examine the influence of sex, spawning river, size, and year. Annual detection histories were used to determine the timing of migrations into and out of the spawning rivers, departure from the Bay of Quinte post-spawn, and the pre-spawn return to the Bay of Quinte. Sequence analysis was subsequently used to examine how fish occupy defined regions of eastern Lake Ontario annually and identify patterns in migration strategy. Spawning site fidelity was high for both rivers (91–97%) and annual residency within the Bay of Quinte was low (9.5%). Females spent less time in spawning rivers, migrated to the main lake earlier, and generally travelled further than males. Larger fish also migrated to the main lake first and travelled further, and differences in timing between spawning rivers were minor. Annual differences in timing were observed and were most likely related to environmental differences between years. Cluster analysis was used to identify groups of fish which utilized unique annual migration strategies and demonstrated sex and size had an important influence on the variability in annual spatial occupancy, but the importance of spawning river and year was minimal.

In September 2019 Indonesia was busy discussing the revision of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law which was passed, in this condition Tempo magazine depicts the symbol of President Jokowi with the silhouette of Pinocchio on the cover of the 16-22 September 2019 edition of Tempo magazine. The purpose of this study describes the meaning of the signs and symbols is included in the cover of the Tempo magazine edition dated 16-22 September 2019. Apart from that, he also wants to reveal the meaning contained in the cover of the Tempo magazine. This study uses a constructivist paradigm, with a descriptive qualitative research approach using Charles Sander Pierce's triadic semiotic analysis model. The results showed that the sign of a man dressed in white with wrinkles on the forehead and pouting lips, this shows the problems that occur in Indonesia so that the president is responsible for handling corruption cases. The silhouette of President Jokowi with a long nose resembling Pinocchio here is a depiction of Pinocchio's character. Here, Tempo tries to be critical about events in the community, and with this picture the people have their own perceptions of the current situation.

Walleye (Sander vitreus) population declines have been linked to climate change, but it is unclear how the growth of this cool-water species may be affected by warming water temperatures. Because warming rates vary among lakes, it is uncertain whether lake characteristics may mediate the temperature effects on walleye growth or may vary as a result of differences in lake habitat or productivity. In this study, we (i) quantified walleye annual growth from 1983 to 2015 in 61 lakes in midwestern United States; (ii) estimated the relationship between annual early life growth (ω; mm·year–1) and water growing degree days (GDD); and (iii) identified lake characteristics affecting loge(ω)–GDD relationships. On average, ω estimates significantly increased with increasing GDD; however, this relationship varied in direction and magnitude among lakes. We estimated an 84% posterior probability of a negative effect of water clarity on the loge(ω)–GDD relationship, suggesting that water clarity may mediate the effect of warming water temperatures by affecting the magnitude and direction of the loge(ω)–GDD relationship. Our results provide insights into the conservation of cool-water species in a changing environment and identify lakes characteristics in which walleye growth may be more resilient to climate change.

The themes that came out from the constructs of the interviewees were Learners under online learning mode encountered internet connectivity issues, inadequate learning tools for online, psychological issues, and physical health issues. The output of this paper is the proposed model for learners under online the learning.

Measures for consumer protection against food adulteration and misleading labeling are integrated into EU legislation, including methods for detection of misleading practices. Verification of meat content is available for marine products but not for freshwater fish because of the lack of standard nitrogen factors. The aim of this study was to establish nitrogen factors for European pike-perch Sander lucioperca (Linnaeus, 1758), northern pike Esox lucius Linnaeus, 1758, and sheatfish Silurus glanis Linnaeus, 1758. The study involved analysis of 808 fillet samples obtained in spring (March–April) and autumn (October–November) harvest seasons, 2018–2019, from seven Czech Republic fish rearing facilities. Samples with and without skin were analyzed for nitrogen content, dry matter, protein, ash, and fat according to established ISO methods. The recommended nitrogen factor for European pike-perch with the skin is 3.28 ± 0.09 and without the skin is 3.21 ± 0.09; for northern pike with the skin is 3.18 ± 0.09 and without skin is 3.15 ± 0.09; and for sheatfish with skin is 2.73 ± 0.13 and without skin is 2.75 ± 0.12. The established nitrogen factors will enable analysis of meat content to ensure that consumers are purchasing correctly described and labeled fish products.

The two-visual stream hypothesis posits that the dorsal stream is less susceptible than the ventral stream to the effects of illusions and visual priming. While previous studies have separately examined these perceptual manipulations, the present study combined the effects of a visual illusion and priming to examine the possibility of dorsally guided actions being susceptible to the perceptual stimuli due to interactions between the two streams. Thirty-four participants were primed with a ‘long’ or ‘short’ version of the Sander Parallelogram illusion and were asked to either reach out and grasp or manually estimate the length of a rod placed on a version of the illusion that was on some trials the same as the prime (congruent) and on other trials was the inverse (incongruent). Due to the context-focused nature of ventral processing, we predicted that estimations would be more susceptible to the effects of the illusion and priming than grasps. Results showed that while participants’ manual estimations were susceptible to both priming and the illusion, the grasps were only affected by the illusion, not by priming. The influence of the illusion on grip aperture was greater during manual estimations than it was during grasping. These findings support the notion that the functionally distinct dorsal and ventral streams interact under the current experimental paradigm. Outcomes of the study help better understand the nature of stimuli that promote interactions between the dorsal and ventral streams.

Anthropogenic activities may facilitate undesirable hybridization and genomic introgression between fish species. Walleye (Sander vitreus) and sauger (Sander canadensis) are economically valuable freshwater species that can spontaneously hybridize in areas of sympatry. Levels of genomic introgression between walleye and sauger may be increased by modifications to waterbodies (e.g., reservoir development) and inadvertent propagation of hybrids in stocking programs. We used genotyping by sequencing (GBS) to examine 217 fish from two large reservoirs with mixed populations of walleye and sauger in Saskatchewan, Canada (Lake Diefenbaker, Tobin Lake). Analyses with 20,038 (r90) and 478 (r100) single nucleotide polymorphisms clearly resolved walleye and sauger, and classified hybrids with high confidence. F1, F2, and multigeneration hybrids were detected in Lake Diefenbaker, indicating potentially high levels of genomic introgression. In contrast, only F1 hybrids were detected in Tobin Lake. Field classification of fish was unreliable; 7% of fish were misidentified based on broad species categories. Important for activities such as brood stock selection, 12 of 173 (7%) fish field identified as pure walleye, and one of 24 (4%) identified as pure sauger were actually hybrids. In addition, two of 15 (13%) field‐identified hybrids were actually pure walleye or sauger. We conclude that hybridization and introgression are occurring in Saskatchewan reservoirs and that caution is warranted when using these populations in stocking programs. GBS offers a powerful and flexible tool for examining hybridization without preidentification of informative loci, eliminating some of the key challenges associated with other marker types.

This research is devoted to the variability of linear and weight growth of Sander lucioperca (Stizostedion lucioperca) in the Novosibirsk water-storage basin. The presented work is part of a comprehensive research of Sander lucioperca phenotypic pool of the Novosibirsk water-storage basin. 43 individuals have been selected for the analysis aged 3,0–4,5 years in the period October-November 2019. Measurements of Sander lucioperca have been carried out according to the “Manual for the study of fi sh”, the fi sh has been weighed on a technical scale VLKT-500 with an accuracy of 1 g. The fi rst time the linear and some aspects of the weight growth of Sander lucioperca in the Novosibirsk water-storage basin have been described in the paper, since the growth directly depends on the development and is one of its components. The biological characteristics and features of Sander lucioperca have been analyzed. For the development of the population of Sander lucioperca as well as other fi sh species one of the main biotic factors is the feed supply. The availability of feed for hydrobionts is determined by the quantity, quality and availability of feed in the reservoir, since the feed supply has a signifi cant impact on the biological parameters of fi sh. The ecological situation of the Novosibirsk water-storage basin has been studied. The obtained data on Sander lucioperca measurements can be used as average population values. Increasing the parameters of the assessment of living organisms makes it possible to more accurately assess the conformation of animals. A high level of correlation (r=0,878) between the linear and weight growth of Sander lucioperca has been established, and a regression equation describing the change in length as a function of live weight (y = 9,5853 x + 39,1164) has been calculated. There is a tendency to decrease the number of Sander lucioperca in the Novosibirsk water-storage basin.

Pikeperch, Sander lucioperca (L.) is a valuable species that is in high demand among consumers due to its nutritional features such as delicious meat, white and soft texture and lack of intermascualr bones. The main barriers in the development of pikeperch aquaculture are the challenges of its larviculture. A major problem in the larval period is that pikeperch must feed on live food, which imposes high costs on producers. Therefore, substituting live food with formulated diets is necessary, but this process cannot be performed easily and it requires an action plan to be successful. The aim of this study was to provide a brief overview of different aspects related to pikeperch nutrition including its natural feeding habits, nutritional requirements, digestive tract ontogeny, and the most common live foods used in pikeperch first feeding. Moreover, different weaning methods in pikeperch culture are provided to introduce an appropriate strategy to assist this fish in adapting to formulated diets.

Studies on adaptation for younger audiences tend to mull over around the film adaptation of children classics. Adaptation of textual, visual, and operative elements for younger audiences in the context of literary texts with ergodicity like apps, comics, animation films, and games is understudied. This case study based descriptive qualitative study aims at exploring and investigating the phenomenon and how this adaptation is exercised. This study employs Siddharthan’s text simplification, Genette’s hypertextuality, Nikolajeva’s Barthesian proairetic decoding for younger audiences, and Huizinga’s play-function and play-mood to address the language aspects of ludic adaptation, Aarseth’s ergodic literature and Sander’s adaptation to address the literary aspects, and Rajewsky’s intermediality to address the medial aspects. Drawing upon the theories and employing Spradleyan analysis, we argue that adaptation for younger audiences is best termed ludic adaptation, an adaptation aimed at establishing a playful communication involving textual, visual, and operative adjustments for younger audiences through transmodalization, transstylization, and transformation of the source texts. In adapting the apps, comics, animation films, and games into their simplified versions, the adapters employ what we call as babyfication, chibification, bambification, and cherubification. Scholars of language and literary studies might apply ludic adaptation to reveal how adaptation for younger audiences is carried out. App, comic, animation film, and game adaptation practitioners might employ ludic adaptation as a guideline in their process of adapting these literary texts.

Stocking of fish is an important tool for maintaining fisheries but can also significantly alter population genetic structure and erode the portfolio of within‐species diversity that is important for promoting resilience and adaptability. Walleye (Sander vitreus) are a highly valued sportfish in the midwestern United States, a region characterized by postglacial recolonization from multiple lineages and an extensive history of stocking. We leveraged genomic data and recently developed analytical approaches to explore the population structure of walleye from two midwestern states, Minnesota and Wisconsin. We genotyped 954 walleye from 23 populations at ~20,000 loci using genotyping by sequencing and tested for patterns of population structure with single‐SNP and microhaplotype data. Populations from Minnesota and Wisconsin were highly differentiated from each other, with additional substructure found in each state. Population structure did not consistently adhere to drainage boundaries, as cases of high intra‐drainage and low inter‐drainage differentiation were observed. Low genetic structure was observed between populations from the upper Wisconsin and upper Chippewa river watersheds, which are found as few as 50 km apart and were likely homogenized through historical stocking. Nevertheless, we were able to differentiate these populations using microhaplotype‐based co‐ancestry analysis, providing increased resolution over previous microsatellite studies and our other single SNP‐based analyses. Although our results illustrate that walleye population structure has been influenced by past stocking practices, native ancestry still exists in most populations and walleye populations may be able to purge non‐native alleles and haplotypes in the absence of stocking. Our study is one of the first to use genomic tools to investigate the influence of stocking on population structure in a nonsalmonid fish and outlines a workflow leveraging recently developed analytical methods to improve resolution of complex population structure that will be highly applicable in many species and systems.

We studied the influences of female pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) length and growth (i.e., maternal effects) on the length of hatched and starved larvae as well as on larval starvation resistance in two different temperature conditions (mean temperatures 13.2 and 17.9 degrees C). The data included fertilised eggs and reared larvae from 21 individuals caught during the spawning season from eutrophic Lake Pyhajarvi in Finland. The length of the hatching larvae was dependent on female size but also on water temperature and on the potential energy the female had invested on reproduction. Maternal effects seemed to also influence the timing of larvae growth, and larvae that were large at hatching grew less on mere yolk sac reserves, and vice versa. Female length had a positive effect on the larval starvation resistance but only under cold conditions. The results suggest that higher temperature might reduce the advantage the larvae from large females get for starvation resistance.

This study compared the U.S. TV news coverage of Donald Trump’s and Bernie Sanders’ talking points on immigration in the 2016 presidential campaign. Utilizing six common frames on immigration in general and adopting framing’s function approach (which consists of definition, causes and solutions aspects of an issue or a topic under discussion) to illegal immigration, the study content analyzed 153 TV news transcripts. Trump's talking points highlighted the claim that immigrants were dangerous because they brought crimes to U.S., and they had to be deported and borders must be secured. Sanders’ talking points emphasized the idea of a nation of immigrants where even illegal immigrants should be entitled to basic human rights, and immigration reform constituted a better solution. The causes for illegal immigration, however, were largely marginalized in the TV news coverage. Keywords: Framing immigration, framing illegal immigration, framing’s function approach, 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, U.S. TV news coverage of election

This paper proposes a method of oral administration of drugs to predatory fish species using the example of common pike perch. The study was carried out on 26 specimens of pike perch breeders who received various injuries as a result of spawning, as a result of which ulcerative lesions appeared on the surface of the fish body with the threat of secondary infection. The behavioral responses of the fish were suppressed. To improve the condition of manufacturers, we used: therapeutic baths ("Antibacterial 500"); feeding with a probiotic preparation (bacteria Bacillus subtilis strain DSM 32424); treatment of external damage (povidone-iodine). The complex application of these drugs has shown a positive therapeutic effect in the recovery of pike perch breeders. The survival rate was 80.8%.

Often times Indonesian films raise issues around women, especially about mothers, which is linked to gender inequality between men and women. The films that depict women unfairly in a disadvantageous position is a product of patriarchal culture. Women, especially mothers, often have less dominant roles and positions in all fields; also women are rarely used as main characters. The same is the case with the characterization of the mother in the film Athirah. In this study, we discussed about how motherhood is shown in the film Athirah. This study employed semiotic method proposed by Charles Sander Peirce. The results of this study indicate that Athirah's motherhood revolves around her role as a wife and husband's companion, as a household organizer and leader, and also as a child caregiver. The depiction of motherhood in the film Athirah is still trapped in the classic depiction of a woman in an unequal gender construction. This inequality is shown in the double burden carried by Athirah's figure

The food composition of sander Sander lucioperca in the Rybinsk Reservoir was studied during the period of regional climate warming and along with significant fluctuations in the harvests of the southern invasive fish species, tyulka Clupeonella cultriventris. In the period of the relatively low abundance of tyulka (2007–2014) compared to the year following its mass outbreak (2016), the proportion of this species in zander diet was two-fold less (28.3 versus 60.7% of the number of prey consumed). In 2007−2016 tyulka took the first place in the food of sander: its share in the diet in riverbed and floodplain sections of the reservoir was 39.5 and 33.9%, respectively. In 2010 the period of intensive feeding of sander lasted until December inclusive. Compared to the period of the climatic norm, in the younger age groups of sander (3 + −6 +) the dates and places of feeding have changed: they fed on biotopes of open and protected littoral, feeding on juvenile roach Rutilus rutilus. Tyulka, an inhabitant of riverbed zones, remains the main prey for individuals older than 6+.

En el proceso de redacción de Gaudium et spes emergió una novedad metodológica que, finalmente, estructuró la Constitución Pastoral. En el discernimiento de los signos de los tiempos reside «el alma del esquema» afirmó entonces Marie-Dominique Chenu; se trata del «enfoque empírico-teológico» (M. McGrath) que «marca una nueva época de la teología» (H.-J. Sander). El presente artículo examina la recepción de dicha transformación metodológica en bibliografía de Estados Unidos. Varias preguntas guían el trabajo, ante todo, la verificación de la existencia de una conciencia del cambio metodológico, también el análisis acerca de la conceptualización y las fuentes bibliográficas utilizadas, las perspectivas hermenéuticas que fundamentan los diversos planteos. El trabajo permite esbozar algunas peculiaridades fuertemente condicionadas por el contexto lingüístico.

Growth-selective mortality as larvae can influence recruitment in marine fishes. Its importance in freshwater fishes, however, remains speculative. We quantified growth trajectories within annual cohorts (2011–2013) of Lake Erie walleye (Sander vitreus) and their relationship with recruitment. We hypothesized that selection against slow or fast growth would be associated with high mortality and poor recruitment, whereas weak or nonexistent growth-selective mortality co-occurring with fast growth would be associated with good recruitment. We used otoliths to reconstruct growth rates during the first 15 days of life from larvae collected during spring and juvenile recruits (survivors) collected during late summer. We documented growth-selective mortality during 2011 and 2013, which exhibited poor recruitment as expected. During 2012, growth selection was absent, but growth was slow when compared to historical averages, resulting in poor recruitment. Growth was also considered slow in 2011 and 2013, due to multiple interacting conditions. Our study indicates that the relationship among larval growth, mortality, and future recruitment is complex, highlighting the need for continued research into how larval processes affect recruitment dynamics in freshwater fishes.

Purpose. Assessment of the commercial stocks of common carp Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758, bream Abramis brama (Linnaeus, 1758), roach Rutilus rutilus (Linnaeus, 1758) and pikeperch Sander lucioperca (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Dniester Lagoon in 2000-2019. Methodology. Sampling was performed in the Dniester Lagoon using standard ichthyological methods “Metodiki zboru і obrobki іhtіologіchnih і gіdrobіologіchnih materіalіv z metoju viznachennja lіmіtіv promislovogo viluchennja rib z velikih vodoshovishh і limanіv Ukraїny» and «Metodicheskie ukazanija po ocenke chislennosti ryb v presnovodnyh vodoemah». The fish stocks in the Dniester lagoon were assessed using the BSM (Bayesian State-space Model) module. The main advantage of BSM compared to other implementations of surplus production models is the focus on informative priors and the acceptance of short and incomplete (fragmented) catch-per-unit-of-effort (CPUE) data. Findings. The paper presents the current state of the main commercial fish species, the results of stock assessment of the common carp, bream, roach and pike perch and their commercial exploitation in the Dniester Lagoon. The catch of common carp in the Dniester Lagoon has a tendency to increase in 2018-2019. The state of its stock is considered relatively stable and depends on artificial restocking. The forecast for the allowable catch of the common carp should not exceed 40 tons. The exploitation of bream stock was optimal within recent years. The stock of this species is in a relatively satisfactory condition. The bream catches should not exceed 120-150 tons per year. The commercial part of the roach population was exploited at a level close to optimal in recent years. The forecast of its allowable catch was determined as 45 tons. The pikeperch stock of the Dniester Lagoon is in extremely poor condition. The forecast for the allowable catch of pikeperch should not exceed 5 tons. Originality. The presented research paper is an attempt of using the BSM for assessing the current state of the commercial stocks of the common carp, bream, roach and pikeperch in the Dniester Lagoon. Practical value. This publication provides recommended forecasts of the allowable catch for optimal exploitation of the common carp, bream, roach, and pikeperch stocks of the Dniester Lagoon.

Emotions have a major role in social interactions (Russell et al., 2003; Sander et al., 2005) and in determining the consumption behavior. Emotion measurement often provides important information beyond the subject’s preferences, such as physiological and psychological characteristics and affective consumer’s state. The present chapter is focused on the most commonly used methods to investigate the emotions of nonfood products and concerns mainly advertising and marketing fields, design, cosmetics, fragrances, and odors. Medical and clinical applications were not approached.
