  • Viral and Bacterial Diseases of Atlantic Cod Gadus Morhua, Their Prophylaxis and Treatment: a Review

Samuelsen1,*, Audun H. Nerland1, Trond Jørgensen2, Merete Bjørgan Schrøder2, Terje Svåsand1, Øivind Bergh1 1Institute of Marine Research, PO Box 1870, Nordnes, 5817 Bergen, Norway 2Department of Marine Biotechnology, NFH, University of Tromsø, 9037 Tromsø, Norway ABSTRACT: This review summarises the state of knowledge of both viral and bacterial diseases of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, and their diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment. The most important losses have been at the larval and juvenile stages, and vibriosis has long been the most important bacterial disease in cod, with Listonella (Vibrio) anguillarum dominant among pathogenic isolates. Vaccination of cod against pathogens such as L. anguillarum and Aeromonas salmonicida clearly demonstrates that the cod immune system possesses an effective memory and appropriate mecha- nisms sufficient for protection, at least against some diseases. Well-known viruses such as the nodavirus that causes viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER), infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) have been isolated from Atlantic cod and can be a potential problem under intensive rearing conditions. No commercial vaccines against nodavirus are currently available, whereas vaccines against IPNV infections based upon inactivated virus as well

  • Are You BLIND?! Regulating Accessibility in Print
    Are you BLIND?! Regulating These notes sum up research and experience in designing paper documents for visually impaired people. Written in September 2001, they are based on recommendations from the Royal National Institute for the accessibility in print Blind, The Lighthouse Inc, other research and, where there is no better guide, our own taste and prejudice. Mark Barratt typography for visually impaired people typeface The choice of typeface is less important than contrast, type size, weight and the spacing of characters. Quirky, unusual, script and titling faces are obviously highly inappropriate for legible continuous text. There is no valid research to support the preference for a sans serif typeface (such as Arial or Helvetica) over a seriffed one (such as Times or Century). Seriffed faces are regarded as more ‘readable’ in continuous text for regular reading. This may equally apply to large print texts. type size 16pt Arial 16pt Perpetua For the partially sighted 9–12 pt type (or an average x-height of 2.5mm) is suggested as a minimum by RNIB. Sometimes 16pt may be needed by some The point size of a typeface is not the same as its apparent size visually impaired readers. These recommendations obviously depend upon the typeface and weight used. For the general reader type sizes between 8 and 10pt are frequently used. The RNIB aims to set all its texts for usual readers in 12pt. Remember that different types with the same ‘point size’ have different appearing sizes. The effective size of a typeface is actually related to the height of the lowercase x.

    CHAPTER 3 THE STATE OP HAWAZZ AND ZTS PZSHERT RESOURCES Thi.s chapter turns away from the discussion on the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act MFCMA! and national mandates f or the management of U. S. f ishery resources the political factors--to environmental factors related to Hawaii's fishery resources. The discussion is centered on the state'8 unique geologic features and the pr pbl em of being atypi cal both in terms af its geomorphol ogy and the makeup of its fishery resources. The policies set in motion by the MFCMAand the Department of Commerce do not readily fit the uniqueness of insular f isheries great diversity and small populations of individual species! nor the fact that Hawaii's principal coastal fisheries are tunas. The Hawaiian archipelago spans an amazing l400 miles, and is slightly under 2,400 air miles f rom California, the nearest state. Besides its geographical isolation, Hawaii' s coastal fishery resources are unlike those found along the continental coasts of the United States. Perhaps most impor- tant to the present study is the discovery by the S-year re- s+arch program on the resources of the Northwestern Hawaiian NRHX! that, in addition to being tightly inter-re- »«d through their food web, the habitat of many species of 69 marine fauna encompasses the entire archipelago.l This provides some basis for the argument that the Hawaiian islands are indeed a single marine ecosystem and that manage- ment of Hawaii's fisheries should be based on the total eco- system, rather than on a species approach or on artif icial pol itical boundaries.

One of the oldest and storied cities in the United States. An ever-expanding center of education, research, and culture, Boston was a seminal locale for so many aspects of the American Revolution. It is apt that our declaration, our theme of this year’s conference is Counter! That little exclamation point says it all. In a time where every news cycle, every tweet may challenge our sense of security, acceptance, freedom, and the liberties we all deserve, it is important that we can come together as friends, as devotees of type and lettering and all its iterations to celebrate our common threads of humanity and creativity. The presenters and workshop leaders this year, who give of their time and knowledge, comprise such a wonderful array of people and topics. It’s humbling and inspiring to see how each year’s conference evolves to better refect and represent the creative community we operate in. Diversity in experience, diversity in message, diversity in purpose. I encourage you all to embrace that notion this year and the years to come. Help TypeCon perpetuate growth and improve year after year. Let’s press further to counter the divisiveness we see in our society with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the talent and innovation before us.
