Speech On Nutrition In Seafood

There are high and low concentrations of saxitoxin and another toxin, tetrodotoxin. Incidents usually occur when the fillet is improperly prepared and then consumed. Puffer fish in the Indian River Lagoon have been observed to have high levels of saxitoxin in the muscle compared to the liver; thus, a more meticulous preparation would not prevent the intoxication in those who eat it. Within the 36 months of study, there was saxitoxin in the skin, muscle and viscera, with 22,104 miorograms of saxitoxin equivanelents (eq) 100 g tissue in ovaries. In the study, it was proposed that the food poisoning syndrome caused by the intoxication from saxitoxin exposure would be depicted as saxitoxin puffer fish poisoning rather than

In the Bahamas seafood is very popular whether its conch or fish and grits. Seafood is one of

Spring in the South means it’s crawfish eatin’ time! There’s crawfish pie, fried crawfish, crawfish étouffée and, of course, crawfish boils (or crawfish parties as our New Orleans friends call it). You’ll hardly find a town across Arkansas, Louisiana or Mississippi that doesn't have a rendition of a crawfish boil going on somewhere even if it’s somebody’s backyard.

Oxygen depletion will create stress which can take years to recover. These HABs can also suppress mammalian immune functions which results in mass mortalities of dolphins and manatees. This can be seen by a significant reduction in manatee lymphocytes in cell culture that are exposed to these toxins. With all of this evidence of the negative impacts of these toxins, it shows the need to recognize these biotoxins as significant stressors within south-west Florida coastal ecosystems.

• fish are a good source of nutritious food because they provide a high source of

For this reason, the Food and Drug Administration issues warnings about eating too much seafood, as such toxins can easily assimilate into and injure our bodies as well. (Ch 8, p.

Pierce Trudeau James White ENC 1102-064 17 March 2015 Lobsters are Animals too People rarely ever think about the food they eat. Recently a lot more people are starting to look at what is in the food they eat through nutritional facts like calories, sugar, sodium, fat content, and plenty more; but even health concerns shared by many people isn’t even the majority in the world today. When looking at how only a minority of people pay attention to what’s’ in the food they are eating, it’s not hard to conclude that a much smaller amount of people are even looking at what they are eating as a larger concept.

Brine shrimp is of great educational, natural and commercial importance. Brine shrimp are invaluable to scientific research this is due to their short lifespan, high tolerance in hostile environments and them having the ability to stay dormant for long periods. (New world encyclopedia). They have an undeveloped nervous system, thus eliminating animal ethnical concern

Everyone has those days when they wish they had the secret to catching loads of bass. Well I am going to tell you about some of the lures and techniques that I use that will help you to find that one fishing secret you won’t want to tell your friends about.

These are some of the best baits for bass fishing I use.

Indirect- through eating shellfish (eg: mussels) that have accumulated bio toxins in their edible tissue through filtering harmful algae.

Fatty acids are considered to be the building blocks of fat, which play a critical role in cell, muscle and organ functioning. Studies have found that infants that consume omega-3 fatty acids have better vision compared with those that don’t. In addition to this, studies have also found that omega-3 fatty acids protect the eye from developing macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome. Tuna, salmon, halibut and sardines are all excellent sources. Keep in mind that eating fish is a much healthier alternative than eating red meat.

In addition to the cardiovascular system, ɳ-3 fatty acids are important for brain development and function. The brain, one of the most vascular organs of the body, is composed sixty percent of fat. It requires ɳ-3 fatty acids to make flexible and fluid multitasking responses (Sears 62). Research indicates that people with the highest blood levels of ɳ-3 DHA had best brain performances and higher brain test scores (Bauer). Brain analysis indicated that people with various nerve diseases, including multiple sclerosis and macular degeneration, consumed high amounts of ɳ-6 fats, but low amounts of ɳ-3 fats. Consuming sufficient amounts of ɳ-3 fatty acids make the three important brain structures healthier: brain cells (neurons), nerves extending from neurons (axons), and connections at the end of neurons (synapses) (Sears 64).

As with any of the internal organs, the brain has certain nutritional requirements for optimal health. To keep the brain functioning a diet that is well balanced and varying in nutrients is necessary. The brain is made up of two-thirds fats and requires a steady supply of high-quality fatty acids to keep cell membranes intact and insulate nerves. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish, flax and walnut oils, are the best fats for brain health. Diets high in these fats may help prevent degenerative brain conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases and decrease the risk for depression, according to The Franklin Institute for Science. Phosphatidyl serine, a lipid molecule the body makes by combining fatty acids with phosphate, is an important component of cell membranes and is found in particularly high concentrations in the brain. Phosphatidyl serine keeps cell membranes flexible and helps speed the transmission of nerve impulses. Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, protect delicate brain structures from free-radical damage, particularly to the fats that insulate nerve cells and comprise a large portion of the brain, according to Dr. Shari Lieberman, co-author of the book "User's Guide to Brain-Boosting Supplements: Learn about the Vitamins and Other Nutrients That Can Boost Your Memory and End Mental

There's nothing like deep sea fishing! First, there's the solitude and peace you find when you're out in the ocean with your best buds. Then there's the mental game, the strategy of finding, baiting, and winning the prize. It's a challenge where success can truly change the life of the fisherman. And failure is no failure at all - you've still had hours of peaceful, glorious communion with the mother of nature, the mysterious ocean.

Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), Omega-3s play a critical role in brain function and in normal growth and development.
