    Notes: Abstract The stomachs of 1 165 individuals of the species Ophiacantha bidentata (Retzius), Ophiactis abyssicola (M. Sars), Ophiocten gracilis (O. Sars), Ophiura irrorata (Lyman), O. ljungmani (Lyman) and Ophiomusium lymani Wyville Thomson, collected from the general area of the Rockall Trough from 1973 to 1983, were examined; 47% contained material. This varied in nature and in volume between individuals, but overall, the diets of the 6 species showed quite high similarity. The few differences evident are interpreted as reflecting different lifestyles. Except for Ophiocten gracilis, the probably motile, epifaunal species (Ophiura irrorata, O. ljungmani and Ophiomusium lymani) showed the greatest variety in items, and the lowest similarity with the remaining species; they are probably unselective omnivores, eating whatever small prey or organic detritus they are able to find. Ophiacantha bidentata and Ophiactis abyssicola showed both the least dietary variety, and the highest similarity to each other. This probably reflects their more sedentary lifestyle, feeding on current-borne particles and small prey from “perches” on sessile fauna. The stomach contents of Ophiocten gracilis consisted mainly of amorphous organic material and mineral particles, indicating a microphagous feeding mechanism. With O. gracilis, the proportion of stomachs with food decreased markedly in summer, this coinciding with seasonal gonadal development when stomachs frequently appeared ruptured or compressed. The possible importance of seasonal sedimentation of fast-sinking particulates from the surface is discussed in relation to finds of flocculent organic material, often containing diatom frustules, in stomachs of all 6 species. Some doubts remain as to whether our results are biased by specimens egesting stomach contents on capture. As in shallow water, deep-sea ophiuroids seem to be trophic generalists lacking in dietary specialization. Brief notes on parasites encountered are also given.

    Notes: Summary A phylogenetic tree for occluded baculoviruses was constructed based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of occlusion body proteins from six baculoviruses including three lepidopteran nuclear polyhedrosis viruses (NPVs), [two unicapsid (Bombyx mori andOrgyia pseudotsugata) and one multicapsid (Orgyia pseudotsugata)]; one granulosis virus (Pieris brassicae); and NPVs from a hymenopteran (Neodiprion sertifer) and a dipteran (Tipula paludosa). Amino acid sequence data for theB. mori NPV were from a report by Sere-bryani et al. (1977) and that for theO. pseudotsugata NPVs were reported previously by us (Rohrmann et al. 1979). The other N-terminal amino acid sequences are presented in this paper. The phylogenetic relationships determined based on the molecular evolution of polyhedrin were also investigated by antigenic comparisons of the proteins using a solid phase radioimmune assay. The results indicate that the lepidopteran NPVs are the most closely related of the above group of viruses and are related to these viruses in the following order:N. sertifer NPV,P. brassicae granulosis virus, andT. paludosa NPV. These data, in conjunction withBaculovirus distribution and evidence concerning insect phylogeny, suggest that theBaculovirus have an ancient association with insects and may have evolved along with them.

    Notes: : During the last decade much attention has been given to investigating oil absorption during frying. Several studies have suggested the key role of the dehydrated crust, which is thought to control the main mechanisms in oil absorption, that is drainage and capillary suction during post-frying cooling. To contribute to a better understanding of these mechanisms, we have used infrared microspectroscopy at the Synchrotron Radiation Source at Daresbury (UK) to monitor the oil distribution in fried potato cylinders. We report what we believe to be the first quantitative data on oil distribution within a fried product. Results show that the oil distribution within the crust reflects the anisotropic nature of the porous region in accordance with the proposed mechanism of oil absorption.

    Notes: A clinical and histopathological review was carried out of 21 outbreaks of acute infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in Scottish Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., farms (13 marine and eight fresh water) during 1991–2004. A distinctive syndrome was evident in both post-smolts in sea water and fry in fresh water, where liver lesions, which had not previously been associated with IPN, became a consistent finding in addition to the more typical pancreatic and intestinal changes. Initial cases were described in post-smolts in Shetland, but by the end of the period of investigation this type of pathology had extended down the West coast of Scotland and into Ireland. Limited viral strain analysis suggested that similar strains were involved in both fresh water and sea water and that these differed from earlier isolates from rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum). In fresh water, recovered fish frequently developed a greatly distended intestine associated with accumulation of undigested food. In sea water, after the initial, often significant (50% or more), losses, there were many fish which failed to grow and became chronically emaciated and prone to sea louse infection. Although use of transfer diets containing immune enhancers and the selection of IPN resistant broodstock has reduced losses the disease remains a serious cause of economic loss.

    Notes: Abstract Snakeheads, Channa striatus (Bloch), were inoculated with a spore suspension of the specific pathogenic Aphanomyces, isolated from fish affected by epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS), in South East Asia. Fish were held at three different temperatures: 19, 26 and 31 °C. Histological changes induced by the infection are described. In the early stages of the disease, degenerative changes were observed in all samples, but inflammatory infiltrate was much more marked in fish kept at 26 and 31 °C. By 8 days post-injection, extensive mycotic granulomatosis was observed in the samples kept at 26 and 31 °C. The fish kept at 19 °C developed a severe invasive myonecrosis with limited macrophage response. From 14 to 28 days post-injection, healing became well established at 26 and 31 °C and surviving fish kept at these temperatures recovered completely by 28 days. The lesion was still progressing at 21 days post-injection in fish kept at 19 °C, and all such fish succumbed by this time. Thus, mortalities in the fish kept at 19 °C were considerably higher than in the groups of fish kept at 26 and 31 °C. The findings help to explain why mortalities from EUS occur when water temperatures are low.
