Abstract

Aquaculture as a multiple use of dredged material containment areas (DMCA) has been investigated by the Containment Area Aquaculture Program (CAAP). This report describes design and construction of aquaculture pond facilities in DMCA, reviews design, construction, and operation of DMCA for material disposal, and documents the design and construction of the CAAP Shrimp Farm Demonstration Facility in Brownsville, TX. A complete overview of the entire planning process that leads up to the start of aquaculture facility construction is provided. Reviews are given of site selection principles and aquaculture engineering concepts. The approaches are also reviewed that are used to design and construct aquaculture facilities, based on established aquaculture engineering and design principles, incorporation of site conditions, preparation of feasibility and project plans, methods of estimating project costs, and decision-making criteria for project implementation. The review includes a stepwise guide to aquaculture project planning, including definition of project objectives, iterative planning and preparation of feasibility study, and final project reports. The planning process requires the preparation of a detailed production plan relating project objectives to site conditions. The structure of a production plan and the process of designing the aquaculture facility using site data and production requirements is described. Particular attention is paid to developing design criteria and specifications, descriptions of facilities, and schedules of execution/completion....

Abstract

Partial lipodystrophy (PLD), also known as "Dunnigan-Kobberling syndrome," is transmitted as a highly penetrant autosomal dominant disorder that is characterized by a dramatic absence of adipose tissue in the limbs and trunk, more evident in females than in males. In contrast, fat is retained on the face, in retro-orbital space, and at periserous sites. Associated metabolic abnormalities, including insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia, are referred to as "metabolic syndrome X" (Reaven 1988). Despite the intense interest in the genetic determinants underlying fat deposition, the genes involved in the lipodystrophic syndromes have not been identified. We ascertained two multigeneration families, with a combined total of 18 individuals with PLD, and performed a genomewide search. We obtained conclusive evidence for linkage of the PLD locus to microsatellite markers on chromosome 1q21 (D1S498, maximum LOD score 6.89 at recombination fraction .00), with no evidence of heterogeneity. Haplotype and multipoint analysis support the location of the PLD locus within a 21.2-cM chromosomal region that is flanked by the markers D1S2881 and D1S484. These data represent an important step in the effort to isolate and characterize the PLD gene. The identification of the gene will have important implications for the understanding of both developmental and metabolic aspects of the adipocyte and may prove useful as a single-gene model for the common metabolic disorder known as "syndrome X."
