Vaasan saariston suurikasvuinen siika 2011-2012

Suurikokoisen, meressä kutevan siian esiintymistä Vaasan saaristoalueella tutkittiin koekalastamalla verkoilla kutuvalmiita ja kutevia kaloja syksyllä sekä kartoittamalla siianpoikasten esiintymisalueita. Vastakuoriutuneiden poikasten esiintyminen osoittaa, että syksyisen kudun tuottama mäti selviää talven yli tietyillä alueilla. Kutuvalmiita siikoja jäi saaliiksi ainoastaan kivi- ja sorapohjaisilta paikoilta, jotka olivat virtaisilla alueilla. Tällaiset paikat eivät ole alttiita hienojakoisen aineksen sedimentaatiolle, joka tukahduttaisi kehittyvät mätimunat. Koekalastusten perusteella kutuvalmiiden siikojen kasvunopeus on ollut suuri verrattuna muihin Pohjanlahden merikutuisten siikojen kantoihin. Suurimmat saaliiksi jääneet yksilöt painoivat yli 1500 g. Selvityksessä esitetään useita ehdotuksia Vaasan saaristoalueen suurikokoisen merikutuisen siian kantojen vaalimiseksi, mutta päätösten taustalle tarvittaisiin lisää tietoa siikamuodon perusbiologiasta, kuten vaelluskäyttäytymisestä ja levinneisyysalueesta.

Psychological well-being of the parents and child development, behavior, and quality of life in very low birth weight infants

The parents of premature infants, especially the mothers, are at increased risk for distress. Infants born prematurely are at risk for developmental problems. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the psychological well-being of both parents is associated with child development in very low birth weight (VLBW, ≤1500g) children. The burden of prematurity-related morbidity to the children and to the family was also assessed. A cohort of 201 VLBW infants born during 2001–2006 in the Turku University Hospital, Finland, and their parents were studied (I–IV). One study included a control group (n=166) of full-term infants (IV). The psychological well-being of the parents was evaluated by assessments of depressive symptoms, parenting stress, the sense of coherence and general family functioning. Cognitive, behavioral, and socio-emotional development, and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the children were determined when the children were 2 to 8 years old. The psychological well-being of the parents was associated with the cognitive, behavioral and social development of the VLBW children. The VLBW infants with prematurity-related morbidities had a poorer HRQoL and the general functioning of the family was inferior compared to the control children and their families. 64.5% of the VLBW children survived without morbidities. Most of the VLBW children did not have significant behavior problems (93%), had normal social skills (63%), had no emotional problems (64%), and had no problems in executive functioning (62%). Only 3% of the surviving VLBW infants had significant cognitive delay. In conclusion, the depressive symptoms and stress of the parents can be risk factors for disadvantageous child development, while a strong sense of coherence can be protective. Parents of the premature children with developmental delays might also experience more depressive symptoms and stress than other parents. Prematurity-related morbidities were a burden to the VLBW child as well as to the family.
