Adipose tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Adipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Adipose tissue is the greatest peripheral source of aromatase in both males and females contributing to the production of estradiol. A specialised form of adipose tissue in human infants, and some animals, is brown fat or brown adipose tissue. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Adipose   (591 words)

Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Adipose tissue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) A panniculus complicates surgery of the morbidly obese, and may remain as a literal "apron of skin" if a severely obese person loses most of the excess weight (as after a bypass). However, a round or large figure does not of itself imply a medical problem, and is sometimes not primarily caused by adipose tissue. Adipose tissue, because of its association with high food energy intake and low physical exertion, historically was considered an indication of wealth and privilege. www.hallencyclopedia.com /Adipose_tissue   (542 words)

THE SALMONS. FAMILY SALMONIDAE The salmons are soft-rayed fishes with no spines in any of the fins, with the ventrals situated on the abdomen far behind the pectorals, and with a fleshy rayless "adipose" fin on the back behind the rayed dorsal fin. The presence of this adipose fin, and its situation, separates them from all other Gulf of Maine fishes except for the smelt, capelin and the argentine, the pearlsides (p.

fin. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 These are the pectoral fins, placed just back of the gills, and the pelvic, or ventral, fins, variable in position and sometimes lacking entirely. The tail is an important organ of locomotion and the paired fins are used for steering, checking speed, balancing, and for slow movements. An adipose fin (fatty tissue without support) is found behind the dorsal fin in some fish, e.g., the salmon and the catfish. www.bartleby.com /65/fi/fin.html   (195 words)

Pearlsides The presence of an adipose fin between the dorsal and caudal fins, together with luminous organs, distinguishes the pearlsides from all other fishes that occur regularly in the Gulf of Maine. The pearlsides is a flat-sided, large-headed little fish, its body (about one-fifth as deep as long, excluding caudal fin) deepest forward of the ventral and dorsal fins; its eye very large; its lower jaw projecting; its mouth oblique; and both its jaws armed with minute teeth. The luminescent spots are described as fl rimmed, their centers as pale blue in life but turning yellow in alcohol; and there is a narrow fl band along the base of the anal fin and from there to the base of the caudal, the latter being barred with a similar fl band. octopus.gma.org /fogm/Maurolicus_pennanti.htm   (696 words)

WDFW NEWS RELEASE: Hoh River steelhead ID rules return to normal Fisheries managers remove the adipose fin — the small, fatty fin on a fish's back near the base of the tail fin — for easy identification of hatchery fish from wild fish. WDFW fisheries biologist Mike Gross said the hatchery steelhead released in the spring of 1998 with an intact adipose fin have returned over the past two seasons, clearing the way for a resumption of the adipose fin identification method this season. More information on identifying an adipose fin-clipped fish, as well as additional steelheading regulation information, is available in the "Fishing in Washington" 2001/2002 sport fishing rules pamphlet. www.wdfw.wa.gov /do/nov01/nov2701a.htm   (282 words)

Tail Rot (Peduncle Disease) The bacterium first attacks the adipose fin, which will display a noticeable white line along the outer margin. As the disease progresses the adipose fin is destroyed and the bacteria will enter the caudal peduncle (tail) of the fish. When the disease is allowed to progress past the adipose fin it is always fatal. www.michigan.gov /dnr/0,1607,7-153-10364_10950-27391--,00.html   (185 words)

idaho mountain express : Fish and Game begins steelhead experiment :  April 3 - 9, 2002 Since 1986, the clipping of adipose fins has defined steelhead and salmon raised in Idaho’s hatcheries, but a new program undertaken by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game is changing that. Between 10 and 20 percent of Idaho’s hatchery-raised steelhead are being released without clipped adipose fins, and have been since 2000. In the past, Snake River steelhead with an adipose fin were defined as wild fish, which as a threatened species must be released by anglers. www.mtexpress.com /2002/02-04-03/02-04-03steelhead.htm   (952 words)

WDFW NEWS RELEASE: Columbia River sport fishers required to relinquish spring chinook fish heads for data collection Anglers also are reminded that the fishery this year on the mainstem Columbia is a selective fishery, meaning that any salmon with adipose fin intact must be released immediately unharmed; only those fish with the adipose fin removed and a healed scar at the location of the missing fin may be kept. Anglers are required to relinquish the heads of the salmon that have coded wire tags so scientists can analyze data such as age and origin of the fish. Fishers who catch a chinook salmon with the adipose fin intact are reminded not to remove the fish from the water and to avoid netting the fish whenever possible to avoid loss of protective scales. www.wdfw.wa.gov /do/mar01/mar0901a.htm   (851 words)
