An agent used for treatment or disease on animals or humans using chemicals or drugs that are selectively toxic to the causative agent of the disease such as bacteria, virus or other microorganism. (Guidelines for the Use of Chemicals in Aquaculture and Measures to Eliminate the Use of Harmful Chemicals.

Sauerkraut is finely cut cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. It has a long shelf life and a distinctive sour flavor, both of which result from the lactic acid that forms when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauerkraut)
Carpobrotus glaucescens, commonly known as angular sea-fig or pigface, is a species of flowering plant in the ice plant family. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpobrotus_glaucescens)
Genetic dissection refers to the use of induced mutations to analyze physiological mechanisms of single behaviors. (Hegmann, J.P. (1986). Generalizing Genetic Dissection of Behavior. In: Huettel, M.D. (eds) Evolutionary Genetics of Invertebrate Behavior. Springer, Boston, MA. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-3487-1_26)
Jellyfish are planktonic animals whose biomass comprises about 96 percent water. This includes organisms from three phyla that are morphologically and phylogenetically very distinct, and which have very different life-histories: Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Chordata. (Gibbons, M.J., Morandini, A.C., Straehler-Pohl, I. & Bezio, N. 2022. Identification guide to macro jellyfishes of West Africa. FAO, Rome. https://doi.org/10.4060/cb8584en)
Livestock feeding system that is formulated with less protein-rich feedstuff, e.g. soya bean meal for pigs, to reduce nitrogen excretion and, hence, ammonia emission. (Adapted from "RAMIRAN Glossary of terms on livestock and manure management 2011")
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is also known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever and is considered to be an emerging zoonotic disease. It is a severe contagious disease affecting humans and non-human primates. (https://www.woah.org/en/disease/ebola-virus-disease/)
A vessel strike, sometimes referred to as a ship strike, is a collision between any type of boat and marine animal, including whales, dolphins, sea turtles, fish, seals, or sea lions. (NOAA Fisheries. Vessel Strikes. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website, https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/vessel-strikes 10/9/24)
Iodomethane, also called methyl iodide, and commonly abbreviated "MeI", is the chemical compound with the formula CH3I. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodomethane)
A strip of living trees and/or shrubs maintained mainly to provide shelter or to mitigate the impacts of actions on adjacent lands, to enhance aesthetic values, or as a best management practice. (FAO, 2010. Pollination Glossary, CSCM,.)
Note
Buffer strips are smaller-scale, targeted interventions used to address specific environmental concerns like water quality, soil erosion, or habitat creation.
Bacilli refers to a taxonomic class of bacteria. It includes two orders, Bacillales and Lactobacillales, which contain several well-known pathogens such as Bacillus anthracis (the cause of anthrax). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacilli)
Germplasm exchange is the exchange of genetic material on request between different stakeholders for purposes such as conservation, breeding, research, and agricultural development. (AGROVOC Team, 2024)
Note
For exchange of genetic material in the sense of genetic recombination, use "recombination" <c_6475>.
Stubble-mulching refers to leaving the stubble or crop residue essentially in place on the land as a surface cover during a fallow period. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stubble-mulching)
