The lifecycle and infection dynamics of Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer 1837), on typical and atypical hosts in marine aquaculture areasPert, Campbell Charles January 2011 (has links)
The main parasite affecting the Scottish Atlantic salmon farming industry is Lepeophtheirus salmonis costing approximately £29 million annually through lost production and treatments. As such, the primary aim of this study was to investigate the infection pressure, fecundity and infection dynamics of L. salmonis in a west coast sea loch containing salmonid aquaculture. Atlantic salmon held in small sentinel cages were used to monitor sea lice infection pressure in Loch Shieldaig. Investigation of the factors affecting infection pressure within the loch found no evidence of a direct link between monthly gravid lice counts on local farmed salmon and lice burdens on sentinel cage fish. Copepodid L. salmonis were present throughout the year despite there being low numbers of wild salmonids in the system during much of the year and as such the source of this infection was unclear. In subsequent laboratory trials, L. salmonis from wild salmon were found to be more fecund than those from farmed salmon and similarly, fecundity and survival were also higher in summer compared to winter populations of L. salmonis. These findings raise the possibility that L. salmonis infecting wild salmonids may “seed” previously fallowed systems. Alternatively, trials with atypical hosts found that L. salmonis of farmed origin did re-infect Atlantic cod and produce viable egg strings which moulted through to the infective copepodid stage. Infection challenges demonstrated that L. salmonis copepodids were observed to settle on atypical hosts such as saithe and Atlantic cod in low numbers although failed to develop to the chalimus stages and complete its lifecycle. Challenges utilising the mobile pre-adult stage were similarily unsuccesful in allowing L. salmonis to moult to the adult stage on these atypical hosts. Previous work conducted on Pacific three-spined sticklebacks demonstrated the species could support large burdens. In infection trials with three-spined sticklebacks from Scotland’s west coast, settlement was found to be low, which suggests they play no role in the Scottish inshore infection dynamics of L. salmonis. These series of studies provide novel and timely data on the biology and infection dynamics of L. salmonis on typical and atypical hosts in Scottish marine aquaculture areas. The data will form part of the knowledge used to make informed pest management and policy decisions assisting the future development of the aquaculture industry in Scotland.

Dynamics of planktonic larval sea louse distribution in relation to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farms in a Scottish sea lochPenston, Michael January 2009 (has links)
The present work reports on extensive plankton sampling surveys in a Scottish sea loch used by wild and farmed salmonids and describes the spatial and temporal distribution of planktonic larval sea lice and identifies factors which affect the larval distribution. The planktonic louse larvae recovered were predominantly <i>Lepeophtheirus salmonis</i> (Krøyer) and so the findings of this thesis refer primarily to this species of sea louse. Copepodids occurred in significantly greater densities at 0 m than at a depth of 5 m, whereas nauplii occurred in significantly greater densities at 5 m than at 0 m depth. Densities of caligid nauplii and <i>L. salmonis</i> copepodids recovered from the open-waters of Loch Shieldaig correlated significantly with the counts of gravid <i>L. salmonis</i> on farmed Atlantic salmon at the farm in Loch Shieldaig. Furthermore, the densities of <i>L. salmonis</i> copepodids were significantly correlated with the estimated total numbers of gravid <i>L. salmonis</i> on all farmed Atlantic salmon in the Loch Torridon management area. Densities of <i>L. salmonis</i> copepodids did not correlate with estimated numbers of gravid <i>L. salmonis</i> on wild salmonids. Atlantic salmon farms were identified as important sources of <i>L. salmonis</i> larvae and these larvae can be transported several kilometres from the point of release. Husbandry louse control practices were indicated to be able to significantly reduce the densities of <i>L. salmonis</i> larvae in the water column. These findings support the principle of synchronised sea louse management at a hydrographic/management area level.

The single-period inventory model with spectral risk measuresFichtinger, Johannes 06 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Inventory management and pricing decisions based on quantitative models both in industrial practice and academic works often rely on minimizing expected cost or maximizing expected revenues or profits, which refers to the concept of risk-neutrality of the decision maker. Although many useful insights in operational problems can be obtained by such an approach, it is well understood that incorporating attitudes toward risk is an important lever for building new theories in other fields such as economics and finance. The level of risk associated with an investment might be as important as the expected gain from the investment. Hence, it is necessary to find appropriate measures of risk and the appropriate objectives related to or including these risk measures for inventory control & pricing problems. After the axiomatic foundation of coherent risk measures the application of risk measures to inventory models such as Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) or convex combinations of mean and CVaR became popular. In our work we apply spectral risk measures to the single-period, single-item, linear cost inventory control & pricing problem (also known as newsvendor problem) and derive optimal policies. By doing so, we are able to unify results obtained so far in the literature under the common concept of spectral risk measures for the case of zero and non-zero shortage penalty cost. In particular, we show convexity results and structural properties for the inventory control and, under some assumptions, unimodality results as well as structural properties for the joint inventory & pricing problem. An extensive numerical analysis illustrates the findings. (author's abstract)

Maternal effects and phenotypic mismatch in hatchery-reared Atlantic salmonStringwell, Rebecca January 2015 (has links)
Phenotypic variation was previously thought to be the result of complex interactions between an individual's genotype and the environment in which it exists. It is, however, now evident that an individual's phenotype may also be shaped by the environmental variation experienced by the mother, i.e. maternal effects. Environmental maternal effects have the potential to generate rapid phenotypic change in a population and so may be particularly important for evolution at ecological time-scales. The general aim of this thesis was to examine how maternal effects may influence offspring fitness and life history traits in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.1758). For this species, the early juvenile period is the most critical due to their complex life cycle. Offspring rely on maternal provisioning during the early stages of development for growth and survival. Several studies on Atlantic salmon have emphasised the benefits of developing from larger eggs, yet it is unclear how the effects of rearing environment influence early life development. The thesis therefore investigated the effects of variation in maternal provisioning and female rearing environment on the development and physiology of embryos, the behaviour of newly emerged fry and the survival of fry released into the wild. Also assessed were the phenotypic changes among juvenile salmon released into the wild compared to those retained in the hatchery. For this maternal provisioning was manipulated by varying the length of time mothers from the same genetic background were maintained in captivity (2 months, 14 months and 26 months). The results of this thesis demonstrate that both maternal provisioning and female rearing environment alter the development and behaviour of salmon fry, opercular beat rate (a proxy for metabolic rate) and yolk sac absorption, and ultimately survival in the wild. Hatchery-reared fry were found to be maladapted to the natural environment for a number of phenotypic traits which are known to impact survival and the longer fry are retained in the hatchery prior to release the more phenotypically mismatched to the natural environment they become. However, increased egg size brought about my retaining females in captivity improved survival.

Inventory management model based on a stock control system and a kraljic matrix to reduce raw materials inventoryChancasanampa-Mandujano, Jesenia, Espinoza-Poblete, Karla, Sotelo-Raffo, Juan, Alvarez, Jose Maria, Raymundo-Ibañez, Carlos 27 September 2019 (has links)
El texto completo de este trabajo no está disponible en el Repositorio Académico UPC por restricciones de la casa editorial donde ha sido publicado. / This research project proposes a supply management model in a consumer goods company in Lima, Peru, to improve stock control and avoid raw materials stockouts and overstock. A Kraljic matrix was used to identify products based on their criticality considering material segmentation, warehouse capacity and times, and ABC segmentation to classify products on each quadrant of the matrix. This project also focuses on defining purchasing and supply strategies in each quadrant of the matrix. This model involves the development of three processes that are related to a new purchasing strategy: economic order quantity, lot-for-lot ordering, and just in time. This new system is based on a more accurate inventory because continuous improvement attracts employees’ attention and engages them in reducing the number of manual notifications made by operators every month. Moreover, after implementing the new procedure for recording inventories, the inventory record was 87% accurate, whereas, in the past, the inventory was not counted and was performed by employees of other areas.

forçam as empresas a buscarem a excelência em suas
operações. O investimento
em estoques para este segmento é elevado, pois as empresas
trabalham com uma
grande quantidade de produtos, espalhados entre várias
filiais e centros de
distribuição, preços médios altos e uma grande quantidade
de produtos com giro
baixo. Fatores sazonais e lançamento de novos produtos
alteram a demanda ao
longo do tempo, forçando uma resposta rápida para evitar
perdas de vendas. A
diferença entre o lucro e o prejuízo dos varejistas, pode
estar no ciclo de
gerenciamento dos estoques. Nesta dissertação, são
apresentados os pensamentos
de alguns pesquisadores sobre o tema. Após é descrito as
informações sobre o
mercado e a empresa, em seguida é analisado o sistema de

Proposição de uma abordagem para classificação, projeção e controle da obsolecência de inventários apoiada em ferramentas multivariadas / Proposition of an approach for the classification, projection and control of inventory obsolescence supported by multivariate toolsBurgel, Evandro January 2018 (has links)
A obsolescência de estoques é um evento recorrente nas organizações, demandando o uso de métodos que identifiquem o inventário excessivo antes dele tornar-se obsoleto. Este artigo propõe um método para classificação, projeção e controle da obsolescência de inventários ao longo do tempo, com o objetivo de reduzir o risco de obsolescência ou deterioração futura. A abordagem proposta possui cinco passos, sendo os quatro primeiros dedicados a identificação dos fatores que contribuem para a obsolescência e/ou deterioração do Inventário, a classificação do estoque em categorias e faixas de idade através da análise discriminante, a seleção de variáveis em contexto de PLS, a modelagem de regressão para projeção da idade do inventário ao longo do tempo e a definição de diretrizes para redução do risco de obsolescência. O quinto passo do método utiliza o conceito do ciclo PDCA buscando a melhoria contínua do processo e dos resultados. Na aplicação em dois estudos de caso em indústrias de bens de consumo, o método previu adequadamente o montante do inventário por faixa de idade e o risco de obsolescência ou deterioração do inventário em um horizonte de seis meses. / Inventory obsolescence is a prominent phenomenon in organizations, requiring the use of methods that identify excessive inventory before it becomes obsolete. This paper proposes a method to classify, forecast and control the obsolescence of inventories over time in order to reduce the risk of future obsolescence or deterioration. The proposed approach has five steps, the first four of which are dedicated to identifying the factors that contribute to the obsolescence and/or deterioration of the Inventory, the classification of the inventory into categories and age ranges through discriminant analysis, the selection of variables in the context of PLS, regression modeling to forecast the age of inventory over time and the definition of guidelines for reducing the risk of obsolescence. The fifth step of the method uses the concept of the PDCA cycle seeking for the continuous improvement of process and results. In the application in two case studies in consumer goods industries, the method predicted the amount of inventory by age range and the risk of obsolescence or deterioration of the inventory over a six-month horizon.
