Management of diabetic ketoacidosis
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes of South Africa • Authors: D Jivan --- Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism,Although the mortality of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has decreased substantially in the developed world, high mortality rates still prevail in South Africa, thus making this an important condition to recognise early and manage well. This review discusses the treatment of... -
The use of clove oil to induce anaesthesia, and its effects on blood chemistry, in Lates niloticus from Lake Victoria, Uganda
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: D Kahwa --- Department of Wildlife and Aquatic Resources, College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity, Uganda J Rutaisire --- Aquaculture Research and Development Centre, Uganda H Kaiser --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South AfricaThe efficacy of clove oil as an anaesthetic and its effects on blood parameters in Nile perch Lates niloticus were evaluated in 2010. Clove oil concentrations of 49.3, 73.9 and 98.5 mg l−1 induced anaesthesia in <3 min, while the average recovery... -
Physiological response to angling of Africa’s premier freshwater angling species, the tigerfish Hydrocynus vittatus
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Ruan Gerber --- Water Research Group, Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management, South Africa Glyn Howatson --- Water Research Group, Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management, South Africa Richard Greenfield --- Centre for Aquatic Research, Department of Zoology, South Africa Ina Wagenaar --- Centre for Aquatic Research, Department of Zoology, South Africa Nico Smit --- Water Research Group, Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management, South AfricaAngling fraternities widely promote catch-and-release (C&R) as a fisheries management tool. This study aimed to determine the physiological response of Africa’s premier freshwater angling species, the tigerfish Hydrocynus vittatus, to C&R angling in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Standard angling techniques... -
Evaluating the effects of catch-and-release angling on Cape stumpnose Rhabdosargus holubi in a South African estuary
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: NK Arkert --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa A-R Childs --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa MC Parkinson --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa AC Winkler --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa E Butler --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa S Mannheim --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa WM Potts --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South AfricaFisheries managers are increasingly promoting catch-and-release (C&R) to manage recreationally angled fish stocks. Despite this, there is a scarcity of information on the effects of C&R on estuarine-dependent species. Cape stumpnose Rhabdosargus holubi dominates the recreational fisheries catch and provides... -
Physiological stress response and recovery of an important estuarine fishery species, dusky kob Argyrosomus japonicus, after a simulated catch-and-release event
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: NK Arkert --- , South Africa A-R Childs --- , South Africa MI Duncan --- , South Africa M Farthing --- , South Africa WM Potts --- , South AfricaCatch and release (C&R) angling is a popular pastime the world over; however, studies have found that fish can experience considerable stress during a C&R event. To determine the effect of a C&R event on angled fishes, the physiological stress...
