| effects of the modified huanglian jiedu decoction on the disease resistance in grey mullet (mugil cephalus) to lactococcus garvieae. | lactococcosis is prevalent on grey mullet (mugil cephalus) in hong kong aquaculture resulting in serious economic loss. a compound formulation of traditional chinese medicines (tcm) (modified huanglian jiedu decoction (hljdd)) comprising rhizoma coptidis, radix scutellaria, cortex phellodendri, fructus gardeniae, fructus forsythiae and flos lonicerae japonicae (in a ratio of 3:2:2:3:3:5) were applied as feed supplements to deal with the disease. the nitroblue tetrazolium activity in blood, bacte ... | 2014 | 24846297 |
| risk assessment of heavy metal contamination in shrimp farming in mai po nature reserve, hong kong. | an ecological survey was carried out to determine the sediment concentrations of nutrients and heavy metals and bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fish and shrimp including tilapia (oreochromis mossambicus x o. nilotica), grey mullet (mugil cephalus), gei wai shrimp (metapenaeus ensis) and caridean shrimp (macrobrachium nipponensis) in the traditional tidal shrimp ponds (gei wais) of mai po nature reserve, hong kong. the sediments collected from the landward sites contained higher nutrient conte ... | 2006 | 16528597 |
| 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 |
| a study of radioactivities in six types of fish consumed in hong kong. | the contents of natural and artificial radionuclides in two types of fresh water fish and four types of marine fish commonly consumed by the hong kong population have been measured using hpge gamma-ray spectrometry. the two types of fresh water fish are grey mullet (mugil cephalus) and grass carp (ctenopharyngodon idellus). the four types of marine fish are white pomfret (pampus argenteus), red bullseye (priacanthus macracanthus), golden thread (nemipterus) and ginkgo (gymnocranius griseus). all ... | 1997 | 9106991 |
