▼ This study compared the efficacy of the Curves® Complete 90-day Challenge (CC), Weight Watchers® Points Plus (WW), Jenny Craig® At Home (JC), and Nutrisystem® Advance Select™ (NS) on weight loss, body composition and/or markers of health and fitness in sedentary overweight women. One hundred thirty-three women (47±11 yr, 86±14 kg, 46±5%, 35.4±6 kg/m2) were randomized into CC (n=29), WW (n=29), JC (n=27), NS (n=28), or control (n=20) for 12-wks. Self-recorded food logs (4-d), International Physical Activity Questionnaires, weight, resting energy expenditure (REE), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, anthropometrics, and fasting blood samples were obtained at 0, 4, 8, & 12 wks. Peak aerobic capacity and muscular strength were measured at 0 and 12 wks. Data were analyzed by ANOVA or MANOVA with repeated measures.
Average energy intake was 1,403±427 kcal/day with no differences among groups. CC was the only group with an increase in protein (0.15±0.30, p=0.039) combined with a reduction in carbohydrate (-0.63±0.95 g/kg/day, p=0.005) intake. CC was the only group with a significant increase in total physical activity (3,801±8,668 MET-min/wk, p=0.012) through week 8. All
diet groups experienced a decrease in weight (-4.0±4.2 kg, p<0.001), body mass index (-4.0±2.1 kg/m2, p<0.001), waist circumference (-2.7±5.9, p<0.001), and hip circumference (-3.4±4.4 cm, p<0.001), and all maintained REE (0.09±2.0 kcal/kg/day, p=0.008). CC had the greatest decrease in fat mass (-3.8±4.0 kg, p<0.001) and body fat % (-2.7±3.4%, p<0.001) and was the only group that maintained fat-free mass (-0.19±2.00 kg, p=0.631). All groups, except WW, had a decrease in resting heart (-3.0±9.8 bpm, p<0.001). CC was the only group with a decrease in systolic (-7.6±14.2, p=0.002) and diastolic blood pressure (-3.6±7.3 mmHg, p=0.045). CC had the greatest increase in peak aerobic capacity (2.5±2.9 ml/kg/min, p<0.001) and was the only
diet group that increased in lower (15.0±21.9 p=0.001) and upper body (8.7±12.5% p=0.001) strength. CC trended toward a decrease in total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio (-4.9±11.3%, p=0.053). Though all
diet groups lost weight and had improvements in anthropometrics, CC experienced greater improvements in body composition, blood pressure, peak aerobic capacity, and muscular strength and trended toward improvements in blood lipid ratios.

▼ Seahorses (Teleostei: Syngnathidae) are subjects of worldwide demand for medicinal
use, as curios, and as live ornamental aquarium fish. Aquaculture has the potential to
replace or at least supplement potentially unsustainable wild exploitation as the supply
source of seahorses. The primary aim of the research within this thesis was to determine
techniques for improving the technical and economic feasibility for commercially
culturing the big-bellied seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis in New Zealand.
In a preliminary investigation, the breeding of wild H. abdominalis in captivity and
rearing of juveniles was examined, as difficulties have been encountered with these in
historical attempts at culturing H. abdominalis. Breeding was found to be facilitated by
providing tanks with a water height of 1 m. This depth of water allowed females to
transfer their eggs to male seahorses during the vertical rising stage of mating. Growth
rates of progeny to sexual maturity were reasonable with seahorses reaching an average
11 cm in standard length (SL) at one year of age, but high juvenile mortality was
observed in the first few months of age, with an average 10.6% of juveniles surviving to
one year. Further on-growing of these first generation progeny to seven years of age
(average of 27 cm SL for both sexes) demonstrated the robustness of the species in
captivity and potential to supply large seahorses to the medicinal trade where large size
is desirable.
To improve juvenile survival and growth, the effects of initial tank colour, lighting
arrangement and stocking density on early juveniles were tested. Juveniles at one week
of age were found to have higher attack rate and capture success on Artemia nauplii in
clear jars than those contained in white- or black-wrapped jars, but this effect of tank
colour had less affect on one month-old juveniles. Juveniles were also found to suffer
fewer incidences of air bubble ingestion in side-illuminated tanks due to positively
phototactic prey (Artemia) being drawn away from the water surface. The rearing of
juveniles from birth to two months of age in glass aquaria with side-illumination and
tank surfaces blacked-out above the waterline resulted in survival rates of >80% due to
increased feeding efficiency and reduced risk of air bubble ingestion. Juvenile growth
and survival at stocking densities of 1, 2 and 5 juveniles l-1 demonstrated that increasing
stocking density resulted in reduced growth and survival, due to the greater occurrence
of juveniles grasping and wrestling each other with their prehensile tails.
Producing live foods for fish is a significant cost in finfish culture. This has led to
concerted efforts to develop appropriate artificial or inert diets to reduce culture costs.
To determine whether juvenile seahorses could be weaned from live food to inert diets,
two inert diets (Golden Pearls and frozen copepods) were tested. It was demonstrated
that one and two month-old juvenile H. abdominalis could ingest and survive on these
inert foods. Co-feeding the inert diets with…

▼ Barrows and gilts (192, initial BW = 25.75 ± 2.29 kg) were allotted to two 24-pen blocks with 2 barrows and 2 gilts per pen. A 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments in a randomized complete block design was used with two
diet forms (meal or pellet) and two levels of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS, 0 or 30%) resulting in four treatment combinations. Pigs were weighed at the beginning of the experiment and again at the end of each of the 3 feeding phases (d 35, 70, 91). Pigs were slaughtered at the University of Illinois Meat Science Laboratory at the end of the 91 d feeding trial. Full gastrointestinal (GI) tract and GI tract component weights were recorded immediately following evisceration. Carcass characteristics and meat quality were determined after a 24 h chill. Carcasses were fabricated and the bellies were collected for manufacture into bacon. Belly dimensions and flop distance were measured. A fat sample from each belly was collected for fatty acid analysis. Bacon was manufactured at a
commercial processor and then returned to the University of Illinois Meat Science Laboratory for further evaluation.
Overall ADG was increased (P < 0.01) by 3.2% when pelleted diets were fed. Overall ADFI of pigs fed 30% DDGS was 4.7% greater (P < 0.01) than pigs fed 0% DDGS in meal form diets. Overall ADFI of pellet-fed pigs did not differ (P ≥ 0.19) between the 30% and 0% DDGS diets. Pigs fed 0% DDGS had 2.7% greater (P = 0.02) overall G:F than pigs fed 30% DDGS in meal form diets. There was no difference (P = 0.42) in overall G:F regardless of DDGS inclusion in pigs fed pelleted diets. Full GI tracts of pellet-fed pigs represented 0.33 percentage units less (P = 0.03) of the ending live weight than meal-fed pigs due to decreased (P < 0.01) gut fill. Inclusion of DDGS increased (P = 0.03) full GI tract weight, large intestine weight (P < 0.01), and gut fill (P = 0.02). Severity of parakeratosis of the pars oesophagae was greater (P < 0.01) in stomachs of pellet-fed pigs than in meal-fed pigs, but the magnitude of the difference was likely not great enough to negatively affect drop value of stomachs. There was no effect of DDGS inclusion on overall ADG (P = 0.46) regardless of
diet form. Pellet-fed pigs had 2.9% heavier HCW (P = 0.01), 10.4% thicker 10th rib back fat (P = 0.01), and 1.8 percentage unit less estimated lean percentage (P = 0.04) than meal-fed pigs. Bellies from pellet-fed pigs were 5.3% heavier (P < 0.01) but, were not proportionally different (P = 0.55) from meal-fed pigs. There were no differences (P ≥ 0.11) in belly dimensions between meal and pellet-fed pigs. Belly fat iodine value (IV) of pellet-fed pigs was 3.1 units greater (P < 0.0001) than meal-fed pigs. Pellet-fed pigs had heavier belly green weight and those differences persisted throughout processing. Despite pellet-fed pigs having a greater IV than meal fed pigs, there were no differences in
commercial bacon slicing yields among treatment groups. Even so, bellies from pellet-fed pigs produced more total bacon slices (P < 0.01)…

▼ L'objectif général de cette thèse est d'étudier les relations alimentaires entre différents prédateurs d'intérêt local, appartenant à plusieurs compartiments écologiques. L'échantillonnage, réalisé entre janvier 2012 et décembre 2014 en partenariat avec la filière pêche, s'est concentré sur les principales espèces d'intérêt commercial ou en interactions avec les pêcheries (captures accessoires et déprédateurs). La détermination des sources de matière organique dont elles dépendent, de leurs relations interspécifiques, ainsi que des facteurs de variation de leurs alimentations, a été réalisée grâce à l'analyse des isotopes stables du carbone (δ13C) et de l'azote (δ15N), ainsi que celle des contenus stomacaux. Bien qu'associées au substrat, les espèces profondes (100-600m) dépendent indirectement de la production primaire de surface via leurs proies qui effectuent des migrations verticales dans la colonne d'eau. Cette dépendance aux organismes mésopélagiques induit un chevauchement alimentaire globalement important entre ces espèces, atténué par l'occupation de zones bathymétriques différentes. Concernant les espèces de surface, celles-ci se répartissent selon un gradient côte-large, formant trois groupes aux régimes alimentaires distincts. Les requins tigre semblent former une population homogène constituée d'individus généralistes tandis que les requins bouledogue forment une population hétérogène d'individus spécialisés sur des ressources différentes. Ces résultats indiquent qu'une approche centrée sur l'habitat conviendrait à la gestion des espèces profondes, tandis qu'une approche centrée sur les espèces serait plus efficiente pour les espèces de surface.
The general aim of this Ph.D thesis is to analyse the feeding relationship between the different predators of multiple habitats. Carried out between January 2012 and December 2014 in collaboration with the fishing stakeholders, the sampling focused on species of commercial interest or interacting with fisheries (bycatches and depredators). Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes ratio and stomacal content analysis were used to determine the organic matter they depend on, their interspecific relationships and the factors influencing their diets. Results show a wide disparity between species caught in shallow water and the deep ones. Despite their association with the benthic environment, deepwater species (100-600m) indirectly rely on surface primary production through their vertically migrating prey. This dependence on mesopelagic organism induce consequently a high dietary overlap between pairwise species, although alleviated by their presence in different bathymetric areas. Shallow species are split into three distinct diet categories along a shore-offshore gradient. Tiger shark are likely to form an homogeneous population composed with generalist individuals conversely to bull sharks which are forming an assorted population of individuals specialized on different resources. Those results tend to promote an habitat-focused approach, more suitable…

▼ Early nursery pig diets contain costly, highly digestible protein ingredients that improve growth and the transition at weaning. A large-scale study was conducted on multiple
commercial swine farms in Southern Ontario to assess the influence of nursery
diet complexity on growth performance from weaning to a targeted market weight, carcass traits at time of processing and a serum health biomarker (i.e. haptoglobin). Two dietary treatments were applied during the nursery period, one treatment was high complexity (HC) nursery diets and the second treatment was low complexity (LC) nursery diets. Overall, feeding LC nursery diets did not influence pig growth performance, or serum haptoglobin concentrations. Carcass quality traits and carcass value was also not influenced by nursery
diet complexity. Reducing nursery
diet complexity may be a feasible alternative to help reduce the cost of pork production.
