A 9-week feeding trial was conducted with juvenile red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, to evaluate the use of soy oil as a fish oil replacement. Three primary protein sources (fishmeal - FM, soybean meal - SBM, and soy protein concentrate - SPC) were utilized

Examining Mercury Transfer in the American Alligator

December 6, 2019
Author(s)
Stephen E. Long, Tracey B. Schock, Nilsen Frances
Prenatal exposure to environmental contaminants can cause developmental issues in humans and wildlife. Mercury (Hg) is particularly detrimental, often impairing the organization and development of important organ systems by causing irreparable damage

Remote blubber sampling paired with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for steroidal endocrinology in free-ranging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

April 15, 2019
Author(s)
Frances Nilsen, Thomas Rainwater, Stephen E. Long, Tracey Johnston, Philip Wilkinson, Arnold Brunell, Brittany Kassim, John A. Bowden
Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous toxic element eliciting a myriad of health problems including Minamata disease. Exposure to methylmercury, the most toxic bioaccumulative form of Hg, occurs through aquatic dietary sources. Many nations have consumption

Examining Heat Treatment for Stabilization of the Lipidome

February 16, 2018
Author(s)
John Bowden, Candice Z. Ulmer, Christina Jones, Tracey Johnston, Jeremy P. Koelmel, Timothy J. Garrett, Richard A. Yost
Aim: To confidently determine lipid-based biomarkers, it is important to minimize variation introduced during preanalytical steps. We evaluated reducing variation associated with lipid measurements in invertebrate sentinel species using a state-of-the-art

Trichothiazole A, a dichlorinated polyketide featuring an embedded thiazole isolated from Trichodesmium thiebautii blooms

September 18, 2017
Author(s)
Tracey B. Schock, Peter D. Moeller, Rick Belisle, Christopher W. Via, Tracy A. Villareal, Kevin Beauchesne, Matthew J. Bertin, Paul Zimba
Mass spectrometry-guided isolation of the lipophilic extract of Trichodesmium thiebautii bloom material led to the isolation and structure characterization of a new thiazole-containing di-chlorinated polyketide (1). The structure of 1 was deduced using 1D
