El lenguado peruano Paralichthys adspersus es una especie que presenta gran calidad nutricional y alto valor económico, Se distribuye desde Paita (norte de Perú) hasta el golfo de Arauco (Chile). En el Perú el cultivo de lenguado se desarrolla a nivel experimental y comercial (pequeña escala), sin embargo la investigación realizada es escasa. Durante el proceso de producción de semilla, el periodo de destete, etapa durante la cual el alimento vivo es sustituido por microdietas balanceadas, resulta ser un punto crítico debido a la alta mortalidad que genera en comparación a otras etapas del cultivo. El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar el efecto del uso de 3 microdietas (dos experimentales y una comercial) en el destete de Paralichthys adspersus, evaluando el crecimiento (longitud y peso) y la supervivencia. En el ensayo se utilizó la dieta comercial Otohime, y las experimentales, elaboradas con procesos diferentes, MEM (Micro-Extrusion Marumerization) y PARA (Particle Assisted Rotational Agglomeration) desarrolladas en el Servicio de Investigación Agrícola (ARS) del departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) -Fish Technology Center. El ensayo inició con peces de 35 días de edad con un peso seco promedio de 0,96±0,52 mg y una talla promedio de 9,55±0,84 mm, los cuales se distribuyeron en nueve tanques de 150L a razón de 400 individuos T-1. Se seleccionaron al alzar tres tanques por cada tratamiento. Estos se denominaron T1, T2 y T3, en cada uno se utilizó una microdieta (Otohime, MEM y PARA respectivamente) para realizar el destete. Los resultados muestran que para los tratamientos T1, T2 y T3 la longitud promedio final alcanzada fue de 15,9 ± 3,2, 14,3 ± 1,72 y 14,4 ± 2,28 mm y el peso seco promedio alcanzado fue de 8,83 ± 5,37, 5,53 ± 2,85 y 7,10 ± 3,56 mg existiendo diferencias significativas solo entre los tratamientos T1 y T2 (p<0,05). La supervivencia media fue de 18,1, 16,3 y 15,2 % (Tratamientos T1, T2 y T3 respectivamente). Además se evaluó el efecto de las dietas sobre los procesos de pigmentación y metamorfosis, cuantificando para cada caso la cantidad de peces que presentan pigmentación normal y la cantidad de los que alcanzaron a completar la metamorfosis, resultando que no existen diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos (p>0,05).

In spite of increasing globalization around the world, the effects of international trade on economic growth are not very clear. I consider an endogenous economic growth model in an open economy with the Home Market Effect (HME) and non-homothetic preferences in order to identify some determinants of the different results in this relationship. The model shows how trade between similar countries leads to convergence in economic growth when knowledge spillovers are present, while trade between very asymmetric countries produces divergence and may become trade in a poverty or growth trap. The results for welfare move in the same direction as economic growth since convergence implies increases in welfare for both countries, while divergence leads to increases in welfare for the largest country and the opposite for its commercial partner in the absence of knowledge spillovers. International trade does not implicate greater welfare as is usual in a static context under CES preferences.

As deposited amorphous and crystallized thin films of Ti 37.5% Si alloy deposited by pulsed laser ablation technique were irradiated with 100 keV Xe(+) ion beam to an ion fluence of about 10(16) ions-cm(-2). Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the implanted Xe formed amorphous nanosized clusters in both cases. The Xe ion-irradiation favors nucleation of a fcc-Ti(Si) phase in amorphous films. However, in crystalline films, irradiation leads to dissolution of the Ti(5)Si(3) intermetallic phase. In both cases, Xe irradiation leads to the evolution of similar microstructures. Our results point to the pivotal role of nucleation in the evolution of the microstructure under the condition of ion implantation.

Phytoplankton biomass and rate of production were measured along a transect from 57.54 degreesN to 37.01 degreesN in the northeast Atlantic during July 1996 and at a series of stations over a 7-day period at 37 degreesN 20 degreesW. Surface nutrient concentrations ranged from 4 mu mol l(-1) NO3-, and 0.35 mu mol l(-1) PO43- at 57.54 degreesN to <10 nmol l(-1) NO3- and similar to 10 nmol l(-1) PO43- at 37.01 degreesN. The greatest phytoplankton biomass and production were measured in the vicinity of a frontal system at 50 degreesN, and there was a general decline in total phytoplankton biomass and production to the south of the transect. Production was measured in three size fractions. At the station with the highest chlorophyll concentrations (50.34 degreesN), phytoplankton cells larger than 5 mum dominated the assemblage, accounting for 72% of the chlorophyll concentration (22.9 mg m(-2)) and 51% of primary production (54.1 mmol Cm-2 d(-1)), but picophytoplankton production was also high (43%). At 57 degreesN, carbon fixation by the > 5 mum fraction accounted for 75% of the daily production of 60.75 mmol Cm-2 d(-1). At 37 degreesN, picophytoplankton was the dominant group, accounting for similar to 58% (10 mg m(-2)) of chlorophyll and similar to 64% (46 mmol Cm-2 d(-1)), of primary production. Nitrate, ammonium and phosphate uptake rates also were determined. Although high nitrate uptake rates were measured in the surface water at similar to 50 degreesN, the greatest uptake rates of both depth-integrated nitrate and ammonium were at the south of the transect. At 37 degreesN, a deep euphotic zone was present and light penetrated through the nitracline; total nitrate uptake was enhanced because of assimilation at the base of the euphotic zone. As a consequence, high values of depth-integrated f-ratio were measured in the oligotrophic waters at the south of the transect. Phosphate was predominantly incorporated into the picoplankton fraction, which included heterotrophic and autotrophic components, at all stations and a significant proportion of phosphate uptake occurred in the dark. The C:N:P assimilation ratios were variable throughout the region; phosphate uptake was generally greater than would be expected if nutrient assimilation were in proportion to the Redfield ratio.
