  2. Pronephros - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronephros

    Pronephros is the most basic of the three excretory organs that develop in vertebrates, corresponding to the first stage of kidney development. It is succeeded by the mesonephros, which in fish and amphibians remains as the adult kidney. In amniotes, the mesonephros is the embryonic kidney and a more complex metanephros acts as the adult kidney ...

  3. Ancient Hawaiian aquaculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Hawaiian_aquaculture

    Harvesting timing and methods were usually determined by the behavior of the fish. For example, during migration seasons for fishes such as milkfish and mullet that migrate to the ocean to spawn, keepers of the fishpond would set out nets on the pond side of the grates and watch as the fishes trapped themselves as they tried to reach the sea.

  4. Aquaculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture

    Fish do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids, but instead accumulate them from either consuming microalgae that produce these fatty acids, as is the case with forage fish like herring and sardines, or, as is the case with fatty predatory fish, like salmon, by eating prey fish that have accumulated omega-3 fatty acids from microalgae.

  5. Aquaculture of sea sponges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_sea_sponges

    New methods of bioactive cultivation include the "mesh array method" which utilises the water column to vertically hang a mesh tube with single explants held in alternating pockets. [ 7 ] [ 23 ] The number of sponges required to aquaculture bioactives is reduced as sponge secondary metabolites can be repetitively harvested for many years ...

  6. Raceway (aquaculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raceway_(aquaculture)

    Raceway systems are among the earliest methods used for inland aquaculture. A raceway usually consists of rectangular basins or canals constructed of concrete and equipped with an inlet and outlet. A continuous water flow-through is maintained to provide the required level of water quality, which allows animals to be cultured at higher ...

    Fish cages containing salmon in Loch Ailort, Scotland, an inshore water. Inshore mariculture is farming marine species such as algae, fish, and shellfish in waters affected by the tide, which include both littoral waters and their estuarine environments, such as bays, brackish rivers, and naturally fed and flushing saltwater ponds.

  8. Kidney (vertebrates) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_(vertebrates)

    A functional pronephros develops in vertebrates that have a free-swimming larval stage in their development. [7] Pronephros functions in amphibians in the larval stage, in the adults of some bony fishes, and in the adults of some other fish species. [7] The pronephros is a vital organ in animals that go through the aquatic larval stage.

    Volume of blood plasma delivered to the kidney per unit time. PAH clearance is a renal analysis method used to provide an estimate. Approximately 625 ml/min. renal blood flow = (HCT is hematocrit) Volume of blood delivered to the kidney per unit time. In humans, the kidneys together receive roughly 20% of cardiac output, amounting to 1 L/min in ...
