| distinguishing two types of gray mullet, mugil cephalus l. (mugiliformes: mugilidae), by using glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (gpi) allozymes with special reference to enzyme activities. | the resident and migratory types of gray mullet, mugil cephalus, on the coast of taiwan can not be separated morphologically. allozyme analysis was applied to estimate genetic variation between the two types of gray mullet and to test whether they belong to different populations. after starch gel electrophoresis, different allelic frequency spectra of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase-a (gpi-a) between stocks was observed. the resident stock contained gpi-a(135) and gpi-a(100), whereas the migratory ... | 2001 | 11497126 |
| saccocoelium megasacculum n. sp., a new haploporid trematode from liza carinatus in the taiwan strait. | saccocoelium megasacculum n. sp. (digenea: haploporidae) was collected from the intestine of the mugilid fish. liza carinatus (cuvier and valenciennes), in the taiwan strait. it is the first record of saccocoelium in china. the parasite most closely resembles saccocoelium obesum looss, 1902 and saccocoelium tensum looss, 1902 in general morphology and body size, but it is easily distinguished from them in having a larger hermaphroditic sac in relation to body size; larger eggs; smaller pharynx, ... | 2004 | 15270106 |
| seasonal variation of the distribution of pcbs in sediments and biota in a pcb-contaminated estuary. | to elucidate the effects of seasonal variation of precipitation on the distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) in estuarine sediments and benthic feeders, pcb concentrations of river surface sediments and mullet fish (liza macrolepis) were investigated in the estuary of er-jen river near former pcb contamination sites before and after each wet season from 2002 to 2004. analyses of grain size distribution and organic matter revealed that the pre-existing surface sediments were covered by ... | 2006 | 16154175 |
| bioaccumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls in mullet fish in a former ship dismantling harbour, a contaminated estuary, and nearby coastal fish farms. | this study investigated the bioaccumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) toward mullet fish (liza macrolepis) living in former pcb contaminated areas, the ann-ping harbour and the er-jen estuary, and fish farms located near the above two areas in 2003. the pcb body burdens of collected fish samples are proportional to the contamination level of their locations with the following rank order (greatest to least) from the er-jen estuary, the ann-ping harbour to the fish farms. concentration o ... | 2005 | 16257016 |
| genetic diversity and differentiation of gray mullet (mugil cephalus) in the coastal waters of taiwan. | from mid-december to late january, schools of mature gray mullet (mugil cephalus) migrate southward along the coastal waters of china to taiwan for spawning. it has been proposed that there is no genetic differentiation of gray mullet in the coastal waters of taiwan. to test this hypothesis, complete cytochrome b (cyt b) dna sequences of 98 individuals of gray mullet, two individuals of liza macrolepis, and three individuals of l. affinis were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced ... | 2009 | 19583502 |
