retinoid composition and retinal localization in the eggs of teleost fishes.	retinoids in the eggs of four teleosts, chum salmon (oncorhynchus keta), black porgy (acanthopagrus schlegeli), marbled flounder (pleuronectes yokohamae), and stingfish (inimicus japonicus), were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. retinal (ral1) or both ral1 and 3,4-didehydroretinal (ral2) were major or exclusive retinoids in the eggs of every species examined. in o. keta eggs, both ral1 and ral2 were present at the ratio of approximately 3:4, whereas ral1 was the only retinal i ...	2002	11818242
production of reactive oxygen species (ros) by devil stinger (inimicus japonicus) during embryogenesis.	in aqua-cultural industry, the seed production of devil stinger, a valuable fish in japan, has not succeeded yet due to the cryptogenic mass mortality. we found that survival rate of the larvae of devil stinger increased by the addition of green tea extract rich in catechin into rearing tank. generation of reactive oxygen species (ros) was detected in the embryo of devil stinger by chemiluminescence analysis under the normal growth conditions without addition of specific stimulants. even in the ...	2006	16377208
