SEASONAL VARIATION IN CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF COMMON HADDOCK ¹

Abstract

We are told by Pierce (1934) that until about 1870 the New England fishermen threw back into the sea the haddock which they accidently caught while fishing for the then much more highly valued cod. This is a far cry from the present when, according to official statistics of the United States Bureau of Fisheries (1935), 261,653,000 pounds of haddock were unloaded at Ameriaan seaports in 1929 with a value of $9,142,000 to the fishermen of the United States. This amount does not include the additional labor supplied to the large number of men employed in handling the fish from the time it was unloaded from the boats until it reached the consumer.Since that time an appreciable scarcity of haddock has occurred as evidenced by an increased market price. Whether this is due to the exhaustive fishing of the waters frequented by the haddock o r to the methods used is not a problem for discussion in this paper, but is introduced merely to show the importance of the fish as a food product.The purpose of this investigation was to determine the chemical composition of haddock frozen by various methods and a t different seasons of the year, thus bringing information on the subject t o a point approaching that known about some of the other American food fishes.

Processes and Recommendations for Creating mHealth Apps for Low-Income Populations

“…mHealth users’ main complaints about app design are related to visibility (as well as small screen space), hard to read fonts, lack of color coding, and poor graphic displays [ 26 ]. An effective visual communication include (1) appropriate and legible typography, (2) use of no more than five colors in the layout, (3) simple, easy to understand, and universal iconography, (4) spare use of callouts to highlight only key information, (5) significant negative space between messages, (6) use of illustration only if it enhances the content, and (7) maintain a logical hierarchy of the contents [ 27 ].…”
