The article considers the results of determining the main characteristics of the operation of the dosage modules of macro- and micro-components of mixed feed in the conditions of the fodder preparation division of the livestock farm. Relationship of reduction of dosing error with increase of weight of suspended components and at their total value is revealed. Microcomponent Vitex D, with a reference weight of 4 kg, was found to have the largest deviation of 12,63 %. However, when dosing four microcomponents with a total weight of 54,4 kg (Status 2, chalk, RumiMix, Vitex D), the dosing error does not exceed 0,71%. For macrocomponents the error value does not exceed 2 %. Theoretical dependence describing dosing error depending on the weight of the dosed component is revealed.

Abstract Background The present study was performed to determine carapace length–body weight relationship of Charybdis callianassa. In fisheries biology, length–weight relationships are important as they allow for the calculation, by creating a mathematical equation between the two, of the total weight of the fish in a particular group in fish. Such information is helpful for fishery scientists to research the dynamics of development and populations and for public agencies that can maintain and preserve these resources sustainably. Results A study on the carapace length–body weight relationship of Charybdis callianassa (Herbst, 1789) was made on the northwest coast of India for the first time. The study was based on experimental trawl fishing conducted fortnightly from August 2019 to March 2020. A total of 479 specimens, including 262 males and 217 females from fishing trawler, were examined for their carapace length and total weight. The carapace length ranged from 2.69 to 3.54 cm, and the total weight from 5.26 to 7.36 g. This analysis revealed that the crabs exhibited negative allometric development, as shown by average exponents 'b' = 2.71 for pooled data with high coefficient (r) = 0.91 and r2 = 0.83. Conclusions The carapace length–body weight relationship of Charybdis callianassa in relation to sex and carapace was studied in the Mumbai coastal water, India. We found major differences in the average “r2” values of species reported for males (0.89), females (0.79) and pooled data (0.83). Such kind of study is essential for fisheries biology to comprehend the differences in circumstances in small and large specimens that vary with environmental conditions and seasons.

Loligo chinensis merupakan salah satu jenis cumi-cumi yang memiliki nilai ekonomis penting di TPI Tambak Lorok Semarang. Produksi cumi-cumi merupakan hasil tangkapan dari alam, upaya penangkapan yang semakin tinggi dapat menyebabkan penurunan stok sumberdaya cumi-cumi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui aspek biologi L.chinensis yang ada di Tambak Lorok yang meliputi hubungan panjang berat, faktor kondisi, dan pola pertumbuhan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juni-Juli 2020. Analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah regresi linier sederhana dari log PM (panjang mantel) dan log W (weight) untuk mengetahui hubungan panjang beratnya. Nilai hubungan panjang berat L.chinensis mempunyai persamaan W = 0,00048L2,4921 untuk keseluruhan sampel, W = 3,237L0,84 pada betina dan W = 3,29L0,827 pada jantan dengan nilai slope (b) 2,4921; 0,84; dan 0,827. Nilai slope tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan L.chinensis bersifat alometrik negatif. Nilai faktor kondisi (Kn) = 1,064 pada keseluruhan sampel, Kn = 1,713 pada betina dan Kn = 1,63 pada jantan, nilai tersebut menunjukkan spesies ini tergolong memiliki badan yang kurus. Pertumbuhan panjang mantel (PM) L.chinensis tumbuh lebih lambat dibanding organ tubuh lain, kecuali terhadap berat tubuhnya. Loligo chinensis is one type of squid that has economic value crucial in the Tambak Lorok Semarang. Squid production mainly comes from nature, high fishing effort can cause a decrease in squid resource stock. The purpose of this study is to know the biological aspect L.chinensis in the Tambak Lorok include long weight relationships, condition factors, and the quality of alometry growth. The study was carried out in June-July 2020. The data analysis used is simple linear regression from the PM’s log (mantle length) and log W (weight) to know the relationship of its weight length. The relationship value between total length and total weight of L.chinensis has a W = 0,00048L2,4921 equation for the entire sample, W = 3,237L0,84 in the female and W = 3,29L0,827 in the male with slope (b) 2,4921; 0,84; and 0,827. Value slope shows the growths L.chinensis is negative alometrice. The value of the condition factor (Kn) = 1,064 in the entire sample, Kn = 1,713 in the female and Kn = 1,63 in the male. The value suggests that the species is thick-skinned. The growth of the mantle length (PM) of L.chinensis grows slower than other organs of the body, except for its total weight.

The relationship between carapace length (CL), carapace width (CW) and total weight (TW) in the flower moon crab Matuta planipes Fabricius, 1798 was studied and found to be CL = 0.144+1.319 CW and CL = 0.356+1.273 CL for males and females respectively. In case of the carapace width and total weight, the relationships were: TW = 0.272 CW3.011 and TW = 0.474 CW2.555 for males and females respectively. The relationships of carapace length and total weight were: TW = 0.128 CL2.917 for males and TW = 0.184 CL2.650 for females. A linear pattern was found between the relationship of CL and CW for M. planipes, whereas a curvilinear pattern was found between the relationship of CL/CW and TW in the present study. It was also observed that M. planipes is an opportunistic omnivore, seaweed being the most dominant food item followed by crustaceans, seagrass, amphipods and miscellaneous matter.

Several Victorian populations of the abalone Haliotis rubra were studied. A comparison was made of relationships of the dependent variables, shell width, shell height, foot weight and total weight with shell length of abalone collected from several sites at different seasons. Male and female H. rubra were morphometrically similar. In contrast, the morphometrics for abalone collected from the same site at different times were significantly different, as were the morphometrics of abalone collected from different sites at the same time. Weight yields (foot weight relative to total weight) from Portsea and Apollo Bay were highest in winter and lowest in summer. This correlated with the known reproductive cycle in H. rubra, suggesting a relationship of gonad fullness and somatic tissue weight. Morphometric heterogeneity was attributed to differences in growth rates between sites. Growth rates were estimated at three sites and significant between-site variation was shown. At Mallacoota, H. rubra tagged with a threaded wire tag yielded lower estimates of growth rate than those to which tags were affixed with glue. Differences in growth rate, exclusive of tagging method, were attributed to difference of exposure between the study sites.

We analysed the relationship of length to age in a sample of 204 harp seals collected in 1976–1979 and of 437 animals collected in 1988–1992, by fitting asymptotic growth curves. The only significant variations were in asymptotic length, which for 1988–1992 was significantly larger for males (170.4 cm) than for females (165.3 cm). This sexual dimorphism was not significant in 1976–1979, because the fitted asymptotic length of females varied greatly from year to year, being large in the 1976–1979 samples. An index of body condition (total weight/length2.6) and a volume index constructed by regressing body weight on length × axillary girth squared indicated that harp seals collected in 1988–1992 were in poorer condition than animals collected during 1976–1979. Although this suggests a decline in available resources, the possibility of differences arising from sampling bias cannot be excluded.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Electron microscopy has proved to be an invaluable discipline in studies on the relationship of viruses to the origin of leukemia, sarcoma, and other types of tumors in animals and man. The successful cell-free transmission of leukemia and sarcoma in mice, rats, hamsters, and cats, interpreted as due to a virus or viruses, was proved to be due to a virus on the basis of electron microscope studies. These studies demonstrated that all the types of neoplasia in animals of the species examined are produced by a virus of certain characteristic morphological properties similar, if not identical, in the mode of development in all types of neoplasia in animals, as shown in Fig. 1.

In RBL-2H3 rat leukemic mast cells, crosslinking IgE-receptor complexes with anti-IgE antibody leads to degranulation. Receptor crosslinking also stimulates the redistribution of receptors on the cell surface, a process that can be observed by labeling the anti-IgE with 15 nm protein A-gold particles as described in Stump et al. (1989), followed by back-scattered electron imaging (BEI) in the scanning electron microscope. We report that anti-IgE binding stimulates the redistribution of IgE-receptor complexes at 37“C from a dispersed topography (singlets and doublets; S/D) to distributions dominated sequentially by short chains, small clusters and large aggregates of crosslinked receptors. These patterns can be observed (Figure 1), quantified (Figure 2) and analyzed statistically. Cells incubated with 1 μg/ml anti-IgE, a concentration that stimulates maximum net secretion, redistribute receptors as far as chains and small clusters during a 15 min incubation period. At 3 and 10 μg/ml anti-IgE, net secretion is reduced and the majority of receptors redistribute rapidly into clusters and large aggregates.
