| occurrence of perfluorinated compounds in the aquatic environment as found in science park effluent, river water, rainwater, sediments, and biotissues. | the current article maps perfluoroalkyl acids (pfaas) contamination in the largest science park of taiwan. the occurrence of ten target pfaas in the effluent of an industrial wastewater treatment plant (iwwtp), its receiving rivers, rainwater, sediment, and the muscles and livers of fish was investigated. all target pfaas were found in effluent of iwwtp, in which perfluorooctane sulfonate (pfos) (6,930 ng/l), perfluorohexyl sulfonate (pfhxs) (2,662 ng/l) and perfluorooctanoic acid (pfoa) (3,298 ... | 2014 | 24464397 |
| naricolax hoi n. sp. (cyclopoida: bomolochidae) from arius maculatus (siluriformes: ariidae) off taiwan and a redescription of n. chrysophryenus (roubal, armitage & rohde, 1983) from a new host, seriola lalandi (perciformes: carangidae), in australian waters. | we propose that naricolax stocki (roubal, 1981) (cyclopoida: bomolochidae) of ho & lin (2005), reported from the spotted catfish arius maculatus (thunburg) off taiwan, represents a new species, n. hoi n. sp. n. hoi can be distinguished from six known congeners by the shape of the rostral area, the maxillary armature and the structural details of legs 3 and 4. n. chrysophryenus (roubal, armitage & rohde, 1983) is redescribed on the basis of recently collected material from wild and farmed yellowt ... | 2007 | 17912616 |
| genetic and antigenic analysis of betanodaviruses isolated from aquatic organisms in taiwan. | viral nervous necrosis (vnn) is a worldwide disease among marine fishes. in taiwan, nnn disease was first identified in 2 species of hatchery-reared grouper, epinephelus fuscogutatus and e. akaaya in 1994. since then, increasing mortalities have occurred among groupers epinephelus spp., and also among european eels anguilla anguilla l., yellow-wax pompano trachinotus falcatus, firespot snapper lutaanus erythropterus b., barramundi lates calcarifer, cobias rachycentron canadum, humpback groupers ... | 2003 | 13677508 |
| isolation and molecular characterization of herpesvirus from cultured european eels anguilla anguilla in taiwan. | a herpesvirus has been isolated for the first time from a population of european eels anguilla anguilla cultured in a recirculated system in taiwan. syncytia formation was detected in ep-1 (eel epidermis) cell cultures inoculated with cell-free homogenates prepared from both integument and visceral organs of moribund fish. inoculation of homogenates onto ek (eel kidney) cell cultures induced giant cell formation. subsequent passages produced a consistent and progressive cytopathic effect (cpe) i ... | 2002 | 12180701 |
