Osmoregulation in Fishes02:32

Osmoregulation in Fishes

53.1K
When cells are placed in a hypotonic (low-salt) fluid, they can swell and burst. Meanwhile, cells in a hypertonic solution—with a higher salt concentration—can shrivel and die. How do fish cells avoid these gruesome fates in hypotonic freshwater or hypertonic seawater environments?

FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization

24.5K
Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, was developed in the early 1980s and has quickly become one of the most widely used techniques in cytogenetics. Labeled probes are used to bind complementary DNA or RNA sequences on a chromosome or in a region within a cell. Earlier, the probes could only be obtained by cloning or reverse transcription of a DNA template. Currently, the probe oligonucleotides can be synthesized synthetically. Additionally, with the advancement of optical techniques,...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Area of Science:

  • Marine biology
  • Ecological monitoring
  • Computer vision

Background:

  • Cabled video-observatories provide continuous, non-destructive species sampling.
  • Current methods struggle to process vast video data, limiting ecosystem monitoring capabilities.
  • Automation is crucial for transforming observatories into autonomous environmental sensors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated method for processing marine video imagery.
  • To capture the temporal dynamics of fish abundance using content-based image analysis.
  • To assess the effectiveness of the method in challenging real-world coastal conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel methodology using genetic programming for image analysis.
  • Processed over 20,000 images from a marine cabled video-observatory (OBSEA-EMSO).
  • Collected data continuously for two years at 30-minute intervals, day and night.

Main Results:

  • Automated fish recognition results showed high correlation with manual counts.
  • The method reliably tracked fish abundance variations across hourly, daily, and monthly scales.
  • The approach was validated under variable conditions including light, turbidity, and bio-fouling.

Conclusions:

  • The developed genetic programming methodology effectively automates fish abundance analysis from marine video data.
  • This approach enhances the utility of cabled video-observatories for ecological monitoring.
  • The methodology is transferable to other cabled video-observatory systems.
