| metal contents of fish from cultureponds near scrap metal reclamation facilities. | milkfish (chanos chanos) from four fish-culture ponds adjacent to different metal recovery facilities along the er-jen river area, tainan, taiwan, were sampled to determine their metal contents. chemical analysis showed that fish tissue contained different concentrations of cu: 0.71-6.37 micrograms/g, pb: nd (not detectable) approximately 41.04 micrograms/g, cd: nd approximately 0.41 microgram/g, al: 6.75-64.11 micrograms/g, ni: 0.062-0.504 microgram/g and zn: 16.11-41.86 micrograms/g. the avera ... | 2000 | 10665446 |
| paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins accumulation in purple clam hiatula rostrata and toxic effect on milkfish chanos chanos larval fish. | in an attempt to feed purple clams (hiatula rostrata) with dinoglagellate alexandrium minutum, the maximal accumulation toxicity of paralytic shellfish poisoning (psp) toxins reached 40.6 mu/g on day 5 of feeding. subsequently, the toxicity increased no further, although purple clams ingested more toxic algae. furthermore, when milkfish (chanos chanos) larvae were treated with toxic, nontoxic a. minutum or psp toxin-containing extract in the water medium, it was found that the mortality of fish ... | 2001 | 11695819 |
| evidence of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin in milkfish in south taiwan. | natural phytoplankton blooms of the dinoflagellate alexandrium minutum, milkfish (chanos chanos) exposed to natural blooms, sediment and mangrove crab (scylla serrata) were analysed for paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins by high-performance liquid chromatography. the toxin profiles of milkfish and mangrove crab were similar to that of a. minutum collected from blooming fishponds. in a laboratory a. minutum-blooming environment, the stomach and intestine of milkfish accumulated paralytic shellf ... | 2003 | 12881129 |

| toxicokinetics/toxicodynamics of arsenic for farmed juvenile milkfish chanos chanos and human consumption risk in bfd-endemic area of taiwan. | this paper presents a toxicokinetic/toxicodynamic analysis to appraise arsenic (as) bioaccumulation in farmed juvenile milkfish chanos chanos at blackfoot disease (bfd)-endemic area in taiwan, whereas probabilistic incremental lifetime cancer risk (ilcr) and hazard quotient (hq) models are also employed to assess the range of exposures for the fishers and non-fishers who eat the contaminated fish. we conducted a 7-day exposure experiment to obtain toxicokinetic parameters, whereas a simple criti ... | 2006 | 16513169 |
| pathological and molecular studies on mycobacteriosis of milkfish chanos chanos in taiwan. | investigated in milkfish chanos chanos, which had a cumulative mortality of up to 66.7% over the course of 1 yr. gross reddish- or greyish-white nodules appeared on the peritoneal surface, spleen, kidney, liver and gastrointestinal (gi) tract. epithelioid granulomas with the formation of langhan's type giant cells were the prominent histopathological changes. despite large numbers of acid-fast bacilli in the granulomas, neither caseous necrosis nor dystrophic calcification were observed. using d ... | 2006 | 17140137 |
| assessing the risks on human health associated with inorganic arsenic intake from groundwater-cultured milkfish in southwestern taiwan. | the risk of consuming groundwater-cultured milkfish (chanos chanos) was assessed. samples of water and milkfish from groundwater-cultured ponds in southwestern taiwan were analyzed. one third of the 12 sampled ponds had arsenic concentrations in the water higher than 50 microg/l, which is the maximum allowed concentration for arsenic in aquacultural water in taiwan. of the total amount of arsenic in water, the percentage of inorganic arsenic was 67.5+/-8.8%. the inorganic arsenic level in milkfi ... | 2008 | 17967501 |
| risk assessment on mixture toxicity of arsenic, zinc and copper intake from consumption of milkfish, chanos chanos (forsskål), cultured using contaminated groundwater in southwest taiwan. | studies on bioaccumulation of arsenic, zinc, and copper in freshwater-cultured milkfish were carried out to assess the risks on human health. the arsenic, zinc, and copper levels in milkfish showed significant positive correlations to the arsenic, zinc, and copper concentrations in pond water. the hazard index of arsenic, zinc, and copper mixture for intake of milkfish (1.75 +/- 0.65) demonstrated that intake of in this way contaminated milkfish will result in non-carcinogenic risk. the target c ... | 2009 | 19319458 |
| elevated na+/k+-atpase responses and its potential role in triggering ion reabsorption in kidneys for homeostasis of marine euryhaline milkfish (chanos chanos) when acclimated to hypotonic fresh water. | the milkfish (chanos chanos) is an economic species in southeast asia. in taiwan, the milkfish are commercially cultured in environments of various salinities. na(+)/k(+)-atpase (nka) is a key enzyme for fish iono- and osmoregulation. when compared with gills, nka and its potential role were less examined by different approaches in the other osmoregulatory organs (e.g., kidney) of euryhaline teleosts. the objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between osmoregulatory plasticit ... | 2010 | 20232202 |
| assessing and managing the health risk due to ingestion of inorganic arsenic from fish and shellfish farmed in blackfoot disease areas for general taiwanese. | this paper assesses health risks due to the ingestion of inorganic arsenic from fish and shellfish farmed in blackfoot disease areas by general public in taiwan. the provisional tolerable weekly intake of arsenic set by fao/who and the target cancer risk assessment model proposed by usepa were integrated to evaluate the acceptable consumption rate. five aquacultural species, tilapia (oreochromis mossambicus), milkfish (chanos chanos), mullet (mugil cephalus), clam (meretrix lusoria) and oyster ( ... | 2010 | 21134715 |
