taking the plunge: california grunion embryos emerge rapidly with environmentally cued hatching.the process of hatching has been well studied in some model species of teleosts: the medaka oryzias latipes, the mummichog fundulus heteroclitus, and the zebrafish danio rerio. these models are compared to the california grunion, leuresthes tenuis that has some unique features of reproduction related to tidal synchrony of spawning and environmentally cued hatching (ech). during oviposition at spring tides, this marine teleost spawns out of water to bury its clutches on sandy beaches in the high ...201121665921
first record of transversotrema witenberg, 1944 (digenea) from the americas, with comments on the taxonomy of transversotrema patialense (soparkar, 1924) crusz and sathananthan, 1960, and an updated list of its hosts and geographic distribution.specimens of transversotrema patialense (sensu lato) ( soparkar, 1924 ) crusz and sathananthan, 1960 (digenea: transversotrematidae) infected the skin (epidermal spaces beneath scales near pectoral fins) of 4 of 126 (prevalence 3%; mean intensity 1.8) zebrafish ( danio rerio (hamilton, 1822) [cypriniformes: cyprinidae]) purchased in 2009 and cultured by a california (usa) fish supplier. these fish were sold as "laboratory-reared" and "specific pathogen free," purportedly raised in a recirculatin ...201526335181
analysis of endocrine disruption in southern california coastal fish using an aquatic multispecies microarray.endocrine disruptors include plasticizers, pesticides, detergents, and pharmaceuticals. turbot and other flatfish are used to characterize the presence of chemicals in the marine environment. unfortunately, there are relatively few genes of turbot and other flatfish in genbank, which limits the use of molecular tools such as microarrays and quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qrt-pcr) to study disruption of endocrine responses in sentinel fish captured by regulatory age ...200919270792
ddt exposure of zebrafish embryos enhances seizure susceptibility: relationship to fetal p,p'-dde burden and domoic acid exposure of california sea lions.california sea lions have a large body burden of organochlorine pesticides, and over the last decade they have also been subject to domoic acid poisoning. domoic acid poisoning, previously recognized in adult animals, is now viewed as a major cause of prenatal mortality. the appearance of a chronic juvenile domoic acid disease in the sea lions, characterized by behavioral abnormalities and epilepsy, is consistent with early life poisoning and may be potentiated by organochlorine burden.200919165389
