differences in chromatin condensation during spermiogenesis in two species of fish with distinct protamines.	the sperm cells of mullus surmuletus (family mullidae, order perciformes) and dicentrarchus labrax (family percichthyidae, order perciformes) belong respectively to "type i" and "type ii" spermiogenesis categorized by mattei ('70). the protein content in their sperm nuclei consists of two histone-like proteins (mullus surmuletus) and one typical protamine (d. labrax). in order to correlate the molecular characteristics of these proteins with their function, we have analyzed the molecules in deta ...	1993	8423442
fatty acid composition of 19 species of fish from the black sea and the marmara sea.	evidence suggests that differences in fatty acid composition among various fish species may be due to differences in diet or to environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, and depth at which the fish are caught. the beneficial effects of a diet containing fish on cardiovascular or other diseases have been associated with their high content of eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3) acids. in this study we analyzed the fatty acid composition of the flesh of 18 different ...	1999	10230724
the life cycle of opecoeloides columbellae (pagenstecher, 1863) n. comb. (digenea, opecoelidae): evidence from molecules and morphology.	the cosmopolitan digenean family opecoelidae comprises several hundred species, whose adults live in the digestive tract of marine and freshwater fishes. the genus opecoeloides odhner, 1928 is represented in the mediterranean by a single species, opecoeloides furcatus (bremser in rudolphi, 1819), that has been recorded from six definitive hosts species. to see if this broad host range could be the result of an underestimation of species diversity, we obtained its1 ribosomal dna sequences as well ...	2000	10856510
[euzetacanthus simplex n. gen. (rudolphi 1810) (palaeacanthocephala, echinorhynchidae) parasite of the surmullet (mullus surmuletus linn'e 1758) at banyls-sur-mer].		1964	14152067
study of the distribution of trace elements in six species of marine organisms of the ligurian sea (north-western mediterranean)--comparison with previous findings.	this paper presents the results of the determination of several trace elements (total and organic mercury, selenium, cadmium, lead, copper, manganese and zinc) in six species of marine organisms (nephrops norvegicus, engraulis encrasicolus, mullus barbatus, mullus surmuletus, merluccius merluccius, and sarda sarda), sampled in the ligurian sea (north-west mediterranean) during a three-year period, from 1998 to 2000. the species analysed (388 samples) are the same studied in previous investigatio ...	2004	15347201
a new cystidicolid nematode from mullus surmuletus (perciformes: mullidae) from the western mediterranean.	ascarophis valentina n. sp. is described from mullus surmuletus off the valencian coast of spain on the basis of both light and scanning electron microscopy. it can be distinguished from the other members of the genus by the length of the left (long) spicule of the males and by egg morphology. an updated grouping of the species of ascarophis considered valid is provided with respect to these characters. the new species resembles ascarophis capelanus, belonging to the group of species possessing ...	2005	15986609
shelf-life extension of refrigerated mediterranean mullet (mullus surmuletus) using modified atmosphere packaging.	the present work evaluated the quality and freshness characteristics and the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (map) on the shelf-life extension of refrigerated mediterranean mullet using microbiological, biochemical, and sensory analyses. fresh open sea red mullet (mullus surmuletus) were packaged in four different atmospheres: m1, 10%/20%/70% (o2/ co2/n2); m2, 10%/40%/50% (o2/co2/n2); m3, 10%/60%/30% (o2/co2/n2); identical fish samples were packaged in air. all fish were kept under refri ...	2005	16245730
parasites as fish population tags and pseudoreplication problems: the case of striped red mullet mullus surmuletus in the spanish mediterranean.	studies of parasites as fish population tags often apply a single round of sampling to identify potential stocks or predict harvest localities. however, the lack of replication generates pseudoreplication, implicitly assuming that infection levels are more similar between samples from the same locality than between samples from different localities. we evaluated this assumption in the case of the striped red mullet mullus surmuletus in three localities of the spanish mediterranean separated by c ...	2007	17578597
site influence in parasite distribution from fishes of the bonifacio strait marine reserve (corsica island, mediterranean sea).	the spatial distribution of parasite communities from teleost fishes (diplodus vulgaris, mullus surmuletus, pagellus erythrinus, phycis phycis, scorpaena scrofa and symphodus tinca) was studied in the bonifacio strait marine reserve (corsica island) with different protection levels. canonical correspondence analysis was used to study spatial patterns and to quantify the importance of site influence on parasite communities. to supplement these results, we used the indicator species analysis (indv ...	2009	19132390
determination of mineral composition in three commercial fish species (solea solea, mullus surmuletus, and merlangius merlangus).	this study was monitored to determine the changes in the micromineral and macromineral composition of common sole (solea solea), striped red mullet (mullus surmuletus), and whiting (merlangius merlangus) throughout the year. macromineral concentrations in edible parts of fish species were 444-1,559 mg/kg for na, 1,975-5,130 mg/kg for k, 228-658 mg/kg for mg, 187-1,105 mg/kg for ca, and 2,341-7,341 for p, respectively. the highest mercury contents were found in the autumn months. while the highes ...	2010	19924552
surveillance of viruses in wild fish populations in areas around the gulf of cadiz (south atlantic iberian peninsula).	this report describes a viral epidemiological study of wild fish around the gulf of cadiz (southwestern iberian peninsula) and is focused on infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv), viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (vhsv), and viral nervous necrosis virus (vnnv). one fish species (chelon labrosus) was sampled inside the gulf, at the mouth of the san pedro river. another 29 were sampled, in three oceanographic campaigns, at sites around the bay of cadiz. the fish were processed individually ...	2014	25128341
differentiation of fresh and frozen-thawed fish samples using raman spectroscopy coupled with chemometric analysis.	the potential of raman spectroscopy was investigated in terms of its capability to discriminate the species of the fish samples and determine their freshness according to the number of freezing/thawing cycles they exposed. species discrimination analysis was carried out on sixty-four fish samples from six different species, namely horse mackerel (trachurus trachurus), european anchovy (engraulis encrasicolus), red mullet (mullus surmuletus), bluefish (pomatamus saltatrix), atlantic salmon (salmo ...	2015	25442555
potential health hazard assessment in terms of some heavy metals determined in demersal fishes caught in eastern aegean sea.	a heavy metal risk assessment based on estimated daily intake (edi) and target hazard quotient was made for children and adults. five fish species captured from the eastern aegean sea were analyzed for cr, cu, cd, hg and pb by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy in muscle tissue of red mullet (mullus barbatus), surmullet (mullus surmuletus), sand steenbras (lithognathus mormyrus), common two-banded seabream (diplodus vulgaris) and common pandora (pagellus erythinus). the ranges for mean meta ...	2015	26109309
biochemical biomarker responses to pollution in selected sentinel organisms across the eastern mediterranean and the black sea.	pollution effects were assessed by means of biochemical biomarkers (catalase, glutathione s-transferase and acetylcholinesterase activities, and metallothioneins content) in five species at selected coastal sites across the eastern mediterranean and the black sea. the mussel mytilus galloprovincialis, a well-established sentinel species, was investigated in the adriatic sea, aegean sea, and black sea. the mussel brachidontes pharaonis and the striped red mullet mullus surmuletus were used in the ...	2016	26396017
