Evaluación del recurso pulpo octopus mimus en las islas Lobos de Afuera, Lambayeque

Evalúa la situación en las islas Lobos de Afuera durante el período del 10 al 13 de diciembre de 2001, respecto a la gran presión pesquera por parte de buzos y marisqueros de Lambayeque y de Piura (Sechura), que hace peligrar la explotación sostenible del recurso pulpo. En ese sentido, el laboratorio costero llevó a cabo la verificación en la zona (lugar donde esta especie bentónica presenta gran abundancia) a fin de obtener datos biométricos y biológico-pesqueros que permitan determinar el estado del pulpo y recomendar, en base a ello, medidas de ordenamiento pesquero para evitar la depredación de la especie.

Short-term evaluation of the pulpo-dentin complex response to a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement and a bonding agent applied in deep cavities

Objectives. To evaluate the response of the pulpo-dentin complex following application of a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement or an adhesive system in deep cavities performed in human teeth.Methods. Deep class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of 26 premolars. In Group I the cavity walls (dentin) and enamel were conditioned with 32% phosphoric acid and the dentin adhesive system One Step (Bisco, Inc., Itasca, IL, USA) was applied. In Groups 2 and 3, before total etching and application of bonding agent, the cavity floor was lined with the resin-modified glass-ionomer cement-Vitrebond (3M ESPE Dental Products Division, St. Paul, MN, USA) or the calcium hydroxide cement-Dycal (control group, Dentsply, Mildford, DE, USA), respectively. The cavities were restored using light-cured Z-100 composite resin (3M ESPE). The teeth were extracted between 5 and 30 days and prepared for microscopic assessment. Serial sections were stained with H/E, Masson's trichrome, and Brown and Brenn techniques.Results. In Group 1, the inflammatory response was more evident than in Groups 2 and 3. Diffusion of dental material components across dentinal tubules was observed only in Group 1, in which the intensity of the pulp response increased as the remaining dentin thickness decreased. Bacteria were evidenced in the lateral walls of two samples (Group 2) which exhibited no inflammatory response or tissue disorganization.Conclusions. Based on the experimental conditions, it was concluded total acid etching followed by application of One Step bonding agent cannot be recommended as adequate procedures. In this clinical condition the cavity walls should be lined with a biocompatible dental material, such as Vitrebond or Dycal. 2003 Academy of Dental Materials. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Engorde de pulpo (Octopus vulgaris) alimentado exclusivamente con boga (Boops boops) de descarte de la acuicultura

[EN] The use of low value fish (Bogue, Boops boops), accidentally reared in seabream culture cages, as a sole food in octopus farming was tested in two different experiments located in Canary Islands. In a first experiment two different initial sizes were compared: 1,5 kg & 2,3 kg, both at a density of 11 kg/m3. Initial density was increased in a second experiments to 16 kg/m3 testing two lower initial weights: 1,0 kg & 0,8 kg. Bogue as a single feed was found to be good enough to sustain a good growth in octopus cage rearing. Best growth in terms of specific growth rate and average daily growth was obtained with the lowest grow size, 0,8 kg.
