seasonal distribution of bromophenols in selected hong kong seafood.	selected seafood including rabbitfish (siganus canaliculatus), brown-spotted grouper (epinephelus areolatus), clam (tapes philippinarum), oyster (ostrea rivularis), shrimp (penaeus japonicus), and crab (charybdis feriatus), commonly found in the hong kong wet market, was monitored for their distribution and seasonal variations of their bromophenol contents. specifically, 2-bromophenol (1). 4-bromophenol (2). 2,4-dibromophenol (3). 2,6-dibromophenol (4). and 2,4,6-tribromophenol (5). were monitor ...	2003	14582971
dna damage as a biomarker for assessing the effects of suspended solids on the orange-spotted grouper, epinephelus coioides.	in hong kong, suspended solids (ss) introduced by dredging and mud disposal activities are a major cause of mass mortality in cage-cultured marine fish. we have used dna damage in liver cells, as determined by the comet assay, to assess the impact of ss on the orange-spotted grouper epinephelus coioides. seabed sediments were collected from a heavily polluted site in victoria harbor and two less polluted sites in port shelter and mirs bay. sediments from victoria harbor contained higher levels o ...	2010	20467855
the effects of mariculture on heavy metal distribution in sediments and cultured fish around the pearl river delta region, south china.	thirty-six sediment samples were collected from six mariculture sites and corresponding reference sites (approximately 200-300 m away from each mariculture site) to study the effects of mariculture on heavy metal: copper (cu), zinc (zn), chromium (cr) and lead (pb) distribution in sediments and cultured fish around the pearl river delta region, south china. the mean concentrations of cu, zn, cr and pb in all mariculture sediment samples were 109, 273, 99 and 33 mg/kg, compared with 63, 209, 56 a ...	2016	26807936
use of soybean meal and papain to partially replace animal protein for culturing three marine fish species: fish growth and water quality.	the main aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using soybean meal added with papain to replace half of the fishmeal used in the moist pellets (49% fishmeal and 45% trash fish) developed by the hong kong agriculture, fisheries and conservation department (afcd) for culturing marine fish. gold-lined seabream (rhabdosargus sarba), brown spotted grouper (epinephelus bleekeri) and pompano (trachinotus blochii) were farmed at one of the research stations (kat-o) of afcd, for a period ...	2016	27498342
the measurement of bisphenol a and its analogues, perfluorinated compounds in twenty species of freshwater and marine fishes, a time-trend comparison and human health based assessment.	our previous study in 2011 reported the detection of bpa and pfaas in 20 species of marine and freshwater fishes. with an emerging evidence to suggest the metabolic-disrupting effects of bpa/pfaas in animals, the present study was aimed to provide a time-trend analysis to determine the current concentrations of pfaas and bpa in 20 commercially available hong kong species of fishes. since the manufacture and use of bpa is being prohibited in most nations, the introduction of bpa alternatives has ...	2017	28552249
