    Description: La boutargue est constituée par les ovaires salés et séchés des mulets à grosse tête (Mugil cephalus) et de la courbine (Argyrosomus regius) représente une ressource importante pour la région de Nouakchott et pour la Mauritanie. Pour déterminer la valeur énergétique dans les boutargues, nous avons effectué des dosages des protéines, des glucides, des lipides et des études analytiques des acides gras et des lipides. Les analyses ont révélé que la boutargue contient, par rapport aux autres éléments d’énergie, très peu de glucide : 3,29% dans la boutargue du mulet et 1,95% dans celle de la courbine. Alors que les teneurs en protéines et lipides sont importantes et sont respectivement de 44,44% et 31,68% dans la boutargue du mulet et de 55,11% et 15,86% dans celle de la courbine. La boutargue est d’une grande valeur nutritionnelle. En effet, la boutargue du mulet contient 493,82 kcal/100g, alors que celle de la courbine contient 384,27 kcal/100g. En outre, chaque gramme de boutargue du mulet contient 28,1mg d’acides gras, tandis que celle de la courbine contient 19,7mg. Les acides gras trouvés dans les boutargues étudiées sont subdivisés en 3 groupes: - Les acides gras saturés : 17,9% dans la boutargue du mulet et 1,8% dans celle de la courbine, - Les acides gras monoinsaturés : 39,4% dans la boutargue du mulet et 40,65% dans celle de la courbine, - Les acides gras polyinsaturés : 28,8% pour la boutargue du mulet et 35,89 % dans celle de la courbine. La quantité lipidique du mulet est supérieure à celle de la courbine, mais la quantité de protéine est inférieure. Le taux d’énergie de la boutargue du mulet est supérieur à celui de la courbine. Néanmoins, cette dernière contient plus d’acides gras mono et poly insaturés que celle du mulet.
    Description: تمثل البطارخ، مبايض سمك البوري (Mugil cephalus) والكوربين (Argyrosomus regius) المملحة و المجففة، ثروة هامة لمنطقة نواكشوط ولموريتانيا. لمعرفة مقدار الطاقة في هذه البطارخ، قمنا بدراسة كمية لمكوناتها الطاقية : الدهنيات والبروتينات و السكريات و كيفية للدهنيات. بينت هذه الدراسة أن البطارخ تحتوي على نسب ضئيلة من السكريات. ففي بطارخ الكوربين لاتتجاوز 1,95 % و3,29 %في بطارخ البوري. في هذه الأخيرة ترتفع نسبتي البروتينات و الدهنيات إلى 44,44 % و31,68 % بينما في بطارخ الكوربين تصل هاتين النسبتين إلى%55,11 و15,86 %. كما تبين أن البطارخ غنية بالطاقة حيث توجد بها 493,80 كيلوكالوري/100غ في بطارخ البوري و 384,27 كيلوكالوري/100غ في بطارح الكوربين وكل غرام من بطارخ البوري تحتوي على 28,1 ملغ أحماض دهنية و19,7 أحماض دهنية ببطارخ الكوربين . تنقسم هذه الأحماض إلى ثلاث مجموعات أساسية مختلفة كما وكيفا وهي: - الأحماض الدهنية المشبعة17,9 : % ببطارخ البوري و1,8 % ببطارخ الكوربين. - الأحماض الدهنية أحادية عدم التشبع : % 39,4 ببطارخ البوري و 40,65 % ببطارخ الكوربين. - الأحماض الدهنية متعددة عدم التشبع : 28,8 % ببطارخ البوري و35,89 % ببطارخ الكوربين. نستنتج أن كمية الدهنيات ببطارخ البوري أكثر من نظيرتها بالكوربين، بينما نرى العكس بالنسبة لكمية البروتينات حيث نرى أنها أكثر ببطارخ الكوربين أما كمية الطاقة فتبدو أعلى ببطارخ البوري من بطارخ الكوربين كما تحتوي هذه الأخيرة على أحسن نوعية للدهنيات.
    Description: The boutargue is consisted of salted and dried ovaries of the mullet (Mugil cephalus) and black umber (Argyrosomus regius) is an important resource for the region of Nouakchott and Mauritania. In order to determine the energetic value of the boutargue, we measured the proteins, the carbohydrates and the lipids contents, in addition to the analytical studies of the fatty acids. These experiments revealed that the boutargue contains very low carbohydrate levels: 3,29% for the mullet and 1,95% for the black umber. The protein and the lipid contents were 44,44% and 31,68% respectively for the mullet while, they were respectively 55,11% and 15,86% for the black umber. This study showed the good nutritional quality of boutargue. In fact, the boutargue of the mullet contains 493,82kcal/100g, where as that of the black umber contains 384,27kcal/100g. Each gram of boutargue of the mullet contains 28,1mg of fatty acids and while that of the black umber contain 19,7mg of fatty acids. The fatty acids found in the studied boutargues were subdivided in three groups: - Saturated fatty acids: 17,9% for the mullet and 1,8% for the black umber, - Unsaturated mono fatty acids: 39,4% for the mullet and 40,65% for the black umber, - Polyunsaturated fatty acids: 28,8% for the mullet and 35,89 % for the black umber, As compared to the black umber's boutargue, the mullet boutargue contains high lipid quantity. Where as, the quantity of protein in the black umber’s boutargue was higher as compared to the mullet's boutargue. The energetic rate of the mullet boutargue is higher than that of the black umber. But the black umber boutargue contains more polyunsaturated and unsaturated mono fatty acids.

    Description: The effects of cooking and sterilisation steps on muscle lipid deterioration of Sardinella aurita and Sardina pilchardus canned in olive oil and tomato sauce respectively were investigated. Lipid contents of Sardinella aurita flesh were significantly affected (p 〈 0.05) by the canning process. However, lipid levels of Sardina pilchardus remained constant during processing. The peroxide value and thiobarbituric index increased slightly after the cooking step but changed significantly (p 〈 0.05) following canning. Both canned sardine and sardinella absorbed coating-oil during sterilisation inducing a higher oleic (C18:1 n-9) and linoleic (C18:2 n-6) acids content. Independently of coating-oil category, the eicosapentaenoic (C20:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6 n-3) acids concentrations ranged from 3.00 to 6.24% and from 5.12% to 40.26% respectively. Although, lipids of Sardinella aurita and Sardina pilchardus were slightly affected by the canning process, and they remain a good source of ω3 and ω6 fatty acids.
    Description: Dans le présent travail, les effets de la cuisson et de la stérilisation sur la qualité et la composition en acide gras des lipides de la sardinelle Sardinella aurita et la sardine Sardina pilchardus au cours de la mise en boite dans l’huile d’olive et la sauce de tomate ont été étudiés. La teneur en lipides dans la chair de la sardinelle Sardinella aurita a augmenté significativement (p 〈0.05) après la mise en boite. Cependant, celle de la sardine Sardina pilchardus a demeuré stable dans les mêmes conditions. D’autre part, l’étude des indicateurs d’altération des lipides nous a montré que la qualité des lipides de la sardine est affectée par la stérilisation mais pas par la cuisson. La composition en acides gras de la sardine et la sardinelle en boite de conserve change significativement après stérilisation. En effet, indépendamment de la nature d’huile conservatrice, les lipides de la matière première s’enrichissent en acide oléique (C18:1 n-9) et linoléique (C18:2 n-6). Les lipides de la sardine et la sardinelle en boite représentent une source en acides gras poly insaturés de la familles des ω3 et ω6.

    Description: The boutargue is the salty and dried ovary of the mullet (Mugil cephalus) from Nouakchott (Mauritania) and Tunis (Tunisia). In order to know the nutritional quality of the boutargue, we have used an analytic analysis and dosages of lipids and their fat acids. For this study, we used two different methods of extraction of the lipids: method of Folch modified by Bligh and Dyer and the method of Soxhlet. These experiences show that the boutargue of mullet is rich in lipids, 30.9% in Nouakchott (Atlantic Ocean) and 27,4% in Tunis (Mediterranean Sea). The boutargue is with good nutritional quality. Indeed, each gram of boutargue contains 28,1 mg of fatty acids in Nouakchott and 19,7 mg in Tunisia. Theses fatty acids are subdivide in 3 essential groups: - Fatty acid saturated 17,9% in Atlantic Ocean and 2,8% in Mediterranean Sea. - Fatty acid monounsaturated 39, 4% in Atlantic Ocean and 41,4% in Mediterranean Sea. - Fatty acids polyunsaturated 28, 8% in Atlantic Ocean and 39 % in Mediterranean Sea. The quantity of lipids in Atlantic Ocean boutargue is superior to Mediterranean Sea boutargue but the quality of lipids in Mediterranean Sea boutargue is superior to Atlantic Ocean boutargue
    Description: تمثل البطارخ بيض سمك البوري (Mugil cephalus) المملحة و المجففة لمنطقتي نواكشوط (موريتانيا) و تونس (تونس). لمعرفة الجوانب البيوكيميائية و الغذائية لهذه البطارخ، قمنا بدراسة تحليلية كمية و كيفية للدهنيات. فاستخدمنا طريقتين مختلفتين لاستخلاص الدهون، هما طريقة فولش المعدلة من طرف بليغر ودير و طريقة سوكسلي. تبين أن البطارخ غنية بالدهنيات30,9 % بمنطقة نواكشوط (المحيط الأطلسي) و27,4 % بمنطقة تونس (البحر الأبيض المتوسط). يحتوي كل غرام من بطارخ منطقة نواكشوط على 28,1 ملغ من الأحماض الدهنية بينما لا تتعدى هذه النسبة 19,7 ملغ من الأحماض الدهنية ببطارخ منطقة تونس. تنقسم هذه الأحماض الى ثلاث مجموعات أساسية مختلفة كما وكيفا وهي: - الأحماض الدهنية المشبعة تصل إلى17,9 % ببطارخ المحيط الأطلسي بينما لا تتجاوز2,8 % ببطارخ البحر الأبيض المتوسط. - الأحماض الدهنية أحادية عدم التشبع بنسبة تصل إلى %39,4 ببطارخ المحيط الأطلسي بينما ترتفع هذه النسبة إلى 41,4 % ببطارخ البحر الأبيض المتوسط. - الأحماض الدهنية متعددة عدم التشبع بنسبة تصل إلى 28,8 % ببطارخ المحيط الأطلسي بينما ترتفع هذه النسبة إلى39 %.ببطارخ البحر الأبيض المتوسط. لقد بينت هذه الدراسة أن بطارخ المحيط الأطلسي﴿ نواكشوط- موريتانيا﴾، توجد بها نسبة من الدهنيات أكثر من نظيرتها بالبحر الأبيض المتوسط ﴿تونس- تونس﴾، بينما تمتاز هذه الأخيرة ﴿بطارخ البحر الأبيض المتوسط﴾ بجودة أكثر لدهنياتها بالمقارنة مع الأولى ﴿ بطارخ المحيط الأطلسي﴾.

    Description: The proximate composition and amino acids assay of smoked Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus were determined using standard procedures. The mean proximate composition of Oreochromis niloticus are 8.9% moisture, 16.00% lipids, 5.6% ash, 44.5% crude protein, 0.42% crude fiber and 24.9% NFE while Clarias gariepinus has 8.19% moisture, 15.55% lipids, 4.725 ash, 40.46% crude protein, 0.50% crude fiber and 30.58% NFE. There is therefore a nutrient variation between the 2 species of fish Oreochromis niloticus has higher crude protein, lipids, moisture and ash content than Clarias gariepinus.The amino acids profile shows that both fishes have 17 amino acids. Apart from Tryptophan, the following essential amino acids Histidine, Methionine, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Valine and Phenylalanine are present in both fish. Oreochromis niloticus however has higher quantities of the essential amino acids except for Histidine than Clarias gariepinus

    Description: Twelve weeks feeding trial was conducted to determine the effects of different dietary lipid sources on the hematological changes in Clarias gariepinus juveniles. Six (6) iso-nitroginous diets were formulated at 45% CP and fed to triplicate groups of 15 juveniles. The feed contained (Palm Seed Oil (PSO), Ugwu Seed (USO), Soya Bean Oil (SBO), Almond Seed Oil (ASO), Mixture Of All the vegetable oil + the fish oil (MOA) and Cod Liver Oil (CLO) which is the control. The oils were added at 5% inclusion level respectively. Fish of mean weight 22.83 ~c 0.30g were fed these experimental diets in triplicate groups. The hematological analyses of fish showed that red blood cell, white blood cell, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR), Mean cell volume (MCV), Mean cell Haemoglobin (MCH) and packed cell volume were not significantly different (p〈0.05), but haemoglobin concentration and Mean cell haemologlobin concentration (MCHC) were significantly different (p〉0.05). The present study showed that PSO, USO, ASO, SBO and MOA can effectively replace cod liver oil without compromising the health of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus.

    Description: Proximate composition and sensory evaluation of Africa catfish Clarias gariepinus harvested from earthen ponds, reservoir system, tank flow - through system and Flow Rivers were determined. Chemical assessment was based on the method of analysis of the Association of Official Analysis (AOAC). The samples collected shows moisture content 71.71~c1.65%, 74.20~c1.39, 73.60~c2.3% and 72.29~c68% from earthen ponds, reservoirs, and tank flow- through system and rivers respectively. The crude protein 9.77~c2.66%, 20.99~c0.68, 19.80~c0.53% and 18.84~c1.00% from earthen ponds, reservoir system, tank flow- through system and rivers respectively. There was no significant difference (p〉0.05) among the means recorded and the locations where the fish samples were collected has no effect on the value of the moisture and the crude protein content of the fish samples when compared. Crude fat contents 5. 68~c0. 81 %, 4.95~c0.38%, 3.85~c0.56% and 1.35~c0. 29%from reservoir system, low through system, earthen ponds, and rivers respectively. Ash content of the fish samples were 1.52~c0.40%, 1.49~c0.40%, 2.23~c0.91 % and 1.47~c0. 60% from earthen ponds, reservoir system, tank flow- through system and rivers respectively. There was a significant difference (p 〈0.05) among the means of the crude fat contents and ash contents. The location where the fish samples were collected influenced the means of the ash content and the crude fat contents. The taste, odour, appearance and texture were the indices for the evaluation. Fish from rivers were most preferred followed by earthen ponds, reservoirs system and tank flow- through system respectively.

Divergent forms of pyroplastic: lessons learned from the M/V X-Press Pearl ship fire. ACS Environmental Au, 2(5), (2022): 467–479, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsenvironau.2c00020.
    Description: In late May 2021, the M/V X-Press Pearl container ship caught fire while anchored 18 km off the coast of Colombo, Sri Lanka and spilled upward of 70 billion pieces of plastic or “nurdles” (∼1680 tons), littering the country’s coastline. Exposure to combustion, heat, chemicals, and petroleum products led to an apparent continuum of changes from no obvious effects to pieces consistent with previous reports of melted and burned plastic (pyroplastic) found on beaches. At the middle of this continuum, nurdles were discolored but appeared to retain their prefire morphology, resembling nurdles that had been weathered in the environment. We performed a detailed investigation of the physical and surface properties of discolored nurdles collected on a beach 5 days after the ship caught fire and within 24 h of their arrival onshore. The color was the most striking trait of the plastic: white for nurdles with minimal alteration from the accident, orange for nurdles containing antioxidant degradation products formed by exposure to heat, and gray for partially combusted nurdles. Our color analyses indicate that this fraction of the plastic released from the ship was not a continuum but instead diverged into distinct groups. Fire left the gray nurdles scorched, with entrained particles and pools of melted plastic, and covered in soot, representing partial pyroplastics, a new subtype of pyroplastic. Cross sections showed that the heat- and fire-induced changes were superficial, leaving the surfaces more hydrophilic but the interior relatively untouched. These results provide timely and actionable information to responders to reevaluate cleanup end points, monitor the recurrence of these spilled nurdles, gauge short- and long-term effects of the spilled nurdles to the local ecosystem, and manage the recovery of the spill. These findings underscore partially combusted plastic (pyroplastic) as a type of plastic pollution that has yet to be fully explored despite the frequency at which plastic is burned globally.

    Description: The bloom-forming cyanobacteria Trichodesmium contribute up to 30% to the total fixed nitrogen in the global oceans and thereby drive substantial productivity. On an expedition in the Gulf of Mexico, we observed and sampled surface slicks, some of which included dense blooms of Trichodesmium erythraeum. These bloom samples contained abundant and atypical free fatty acids, identified here as 2-methyldecanoic acid and 2-methyldodecanoic acid. The high abundance and unusual branching pattern of these compounds suggest that they may play a specific role in this globally important organism.
