HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Why and how do cod escape? A field and experimental study of the behaviour of cod prior ro, during and after escape.

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L) is a promising new aquaculture species. Experiences from salmon culture strongly indicate that it is difficult to develop "escape proof" sea cages. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that escape also will become a problem in fu ture cod culture. Besides representing a ...

Cellular mechanisms of heart failure

In cardiac myocytes, contraction is triggered by a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels. Depolarization causes Ca2+ entry through L-type Ca2+ channels, which in turn triggers release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This process is referred to as Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release...
