Micronization of Low-Salinity Baltic Sea Blue Mussels: Enhancing Whole-Biomass Utilization and Nutritional Viability by Indrek Adler, Jonne Kotta, Kristel Vene

“…This study assessed the feasibility of whole-mussel micronization, focusing on its impact on particle size distribution, grittiness, and the potential separation of meat and shell fractions post-processing. The results demonstrated that micronization at 4000 rpm resulted in a fine powder (<63 µm), significantly reducing grittiness. …”

SIZE STRUCTURE IN SETTLEMENTS OF MUSSEL CRENOMYTILUS GRAYANUS AT THE COAST OF PRIMORSKY KRAI (JAPAN SEA) by L. G. Sedova, D. A. Sokolenko

“…Size structure of the mussel settlements is determined for each surveyed area using the data on shell length. The following parameters are evaluated: i) index of settling — ratio of mollusks number with shell &lt; 30 mm (spat, yearlings) and &gt; 50 mm (adults); ii) index of maturation — ratio of mollusks number with shell 35–50 mm (pre-reproductive) and &gt; 50 mm (adult); iii) index of commercial recruitment — ratio of mollusks number with shell 90–100 mm (recruits) and &gt;100 mm (commercial stock). …”

Decapsulating Brine Shrimp Eggs by Craig Watson, Roy Yanong

“… Brine shrimp eggs, essential for feeding small fish in hatcheries, require separation from their non-digestible shells and unhatched eggs post-hatching. This document explains the decapsulation process using chlorine removing the outer shell, simplifying separation and sterilizing the eggs. …”

SUBSTANTIATION OF POSSIBILITY TO USE WASTE OF SEA CUCUMBER PROCESSING FOR PRODUCTION OF SOFT DRINKS by E. V. Okhota, A. I. Chepkasova, E. P. Karaulova, T. N. Slutskaya

“…The broth of sea cucumber was decolorized with mineral sorbents, as perlite and bentonite, and with chitosans of crab carapace and shrimp shell. The chitosans were the most effective in sorption and subsequent removal of the protein-pigment complex, providing the decolorization degree of 35–55 %. …”

Isogeometric analysis of the lithosphere under topographic loading: Igalith v1.0.0 by R. Rosandi, Y. Rosandi, B. Simeon

“…We also perform parameter identification for the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere, the rock density, and the topographic load that are most plausible to explain the measured depths. An example of simulating the entire lithosphere of the Earth as a spherical shell using multi-patch isogeometric analysis is presented, providing an alternative to spherical harmonics for solving partial differential equations on a spherical domain. …”
