The design criteria were: (1) turnover ≥1000 ton/year, (2) 7 days quarantine, i.e., at least 7 days between arrivals of two successive fish batches, (3) fish biomass density ≤55 kg/m3, (4) three growth phases, (5) neither fish-sorting nor batch-splitting events allowed, and (6) a robust design to accommodate two species seabream and seabass grouper, with different growth rates.
Local population densities were estimated for each section by the Zippin procedure, based on successive removal of fish during electrofish passes (Bohlin et al. 1989).
France, the gastronomic meal Nomination says the meal must have a fixed structure, "commencing with an aperitif and ending with liqueurs, containing in between at least four successive courses, namely a starter, fish and/or meat with vegetables, cheese and dessert".
A previous study has shown that telomerase activity is present in a variety of zebrafish organs after aging, and that telomere lengths are comparable in the caudal fin of young and aged fish after two successive rounds of amputation and regeneration (Lund et al., 2009).
Precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) sequences retrieved from zebrafish genome at miRBase (release 20, June 2013; www.mirbase.org) were used as reference for successive BLAST searches against our compiled fish database.
The successive tandem duplications that lead to the three fish genes could be fish specific.
The islands are wrapped, cabbage-like, in successive layers of protection formed by fishing boats, Chinese coast guard ships and finally naval vessels.
The post-embryonic formation of muscle fibres in fish generally occurs in two successive phases [ 2].
In teleost fish, muscle growth results from successive phases of myogenesis that involve distinct myogenic precursor populations [ 1].

Successive grading has been shown to produce dominantly female (larger fish) and dominantly male (smaller fish) populations [ 16, 50], while Diaz et al. [ 15] showed that a clear relationship exists between growth rate at stages prior to sex differentiation (3 to 4 cm) and sex ratio in sea bass.
