Gene amplification with FISH was defined as a FISH ratio (HER2/centromeric probe for chromosome 17 ratio) of greater than or equal to 2.0.
Liver tumor in induced double-transgenic fish was defined as EGFP-marked liver enlarged to at least twice the size of a normal liver in driver transgenics.
Quantitative analysis showed that relative metastatic ability of these cells in fish was defined as M-IV > M-II > M-III > M-I, which is consistent with findings from in vitro invasion assays.
Positive and negative results for FISH were defined according to the manufacturer's instructions and the binary classification was used for all analyses (coded as 2 and 1, respectively).
Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is defined as fishing within the waters of a state without permission of and against the laws of that state, along with non-reported and misreported catches, and fish stocks with no conservation measures (International Plan Of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, 2001).
The Department of Marine Affairs is responsible for registering fishing vessels.Artisanal fishing is defined in the Fisheries Code as commercial fishing carried out on foot or on vessels without refrigeration equipment, which can remain up to 72 hours at sea during one trip.
The model assumes that fishing technology remains constant during each period (fishing, over-fishing, future of fishing) which is defined as catchability (q) in the model.
Recreational fishing (RF) is defined as the "fishing of aquatic animals (mainly fish) that doesn't constitute the individual's primary resource to meet basic nutrition needs and are not generally sold or otherwise traded on export, domestic or black markets". RF operate within a competitive sphere among commercial fisheries, which may harvest from the same stock.
When investigating MYCN status by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), MYCN amplification is defined as >4-fold MYCN signals compared to 2p reference probe signals.
It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of State, should seek support for a recommendation by the Commission to ban large-scale driftnet fishing (as that term is defined in section 3(16) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act [16 U.S.C. 1802(16)]) in the Convention area.
