Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method to record an electrogram of the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain. (Wikipedia, 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography)
Usually an organism phenotypically affected in one or more characteristics by a mutation in a particular gene or chromosome. (Lancaster Glossary of Child Development. Mutant. https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/fas/psych/glossary/mutant/)
A segment of the primary transcript of a eukaryotic gene, removed (before the mature mRNA is translated) in a process known as intron splicing. Some eukaryotic genes contain a large number of introns, which make up the bulk of the DNA sequence of the gene. Introns are also found in genes whose RNA transcripts are not translated, namely eukaryotic rRNA and tRNA genes. In these cases the intron sequence does not appear in the functional RNA molecule. (FAO Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture, 2012)
Phospholipase B, also known as lysophospholipase, is an enzyme with a combination of both PLA1 and PLA2 activities; that is, it can cleave acyl chains from both the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of a phospholipid, (Wikipedia. 2025. Phospholipase B. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipase_B)
Sperm-bearing fluid; gonads from male fish, often called soft roe. (Anonymous (1998) AQUALEX. Multilingual glossary of aquaculture terms / Glossaire multilingue relatif aux termes utilisés en aquaculture. CD ROM, John Wiley & Sons Ltd. & Praxis Publ., UK.)
Myelin is a fatty molecule that provides insulation for the axon and helps nerve signals travel faster and farther. (NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. 2025. Glossary. https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/glossary-neurological-terms)
A functionally integrated genetic unit for the control of gene expression in bacteria. It consists of one or more genes that encode one or more polypeptide(s) and the adjacent site (promoter and operator) that controls their expression by regulating the transcription of the structural genes. (FAO Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture, 2012)
A usually enclosed area or field used especially for pasturing or exercising animals. Larger paddocks may have grass maintained in them, but many are dirt or a similar natural surface. (Adapted from ISO/TMB/SAG SF - Strategic Advisory Group on Smart Farming, Final Report – January 2023 https://www.iso.org/files/live/sites/isoorg/files/publications/en/2023_SAG-SF_Final_Report.pdf and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddock)
Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the genotypa and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/mesh/2014/MB_cgi?mode=&term=Mutation)
The age when fish are considered to be recruited to the fishery. In stock assessments, this is usually the youngest age group considered in the analyses, typically age 0 or 1. (http://www.fao.org/faoterm/viewentry/en/?entryId=85609)
A wooden or metal pin, usually pointed at one end, used to mark the location and/or level of an item to be constructed (same as stake). (Nijland, H.J., F.W. Croon and H.P. Ritzema, 2005. Subsurface Drainage Practices: Guidelines for the implementation, operation and maintenance of subsurface pipe drainage systems. Wageningen, Alterra, ILRI Publication no. 60, pp. 608. https://edepot.wur.nl/264729)
The rose hip or rosehip, also called rose haw and rose hep, is the accessory fruit of the rose plant. It is typically red to orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_hip)
Camelids include Bactrian camels, dromedary camels and wild camels as well as South American camelids, namely domesticated llamas and alpacas, and wild vicuñas and guanacos. (FAO, 2024. The International Year of Camelids - Communications handbook and toolkit https://openknowledge.fao.org/handle/20.500.14283/cc9034en)
A variation of a physical quantity used to represent data. (ISO/IEC 2382-1:1993(en) Information technology — Vocabulary — Part 1: Fundamental terms. https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:2382:-1:ed-3:v1:en)
