| a conventional multiplex pcr assay for the detection of toxic gemfish species (ruvettus pretiosus and lepidocybium flavobrunneum): a simple method to combat health frauds. | the meat of ruvettus pretiosus and lepidocybium flavobrunneum (gemfishes) contains high amounts of indigestible wax esters that provoke gastrointestinal disorders. although some countries have banned the sale of these species, mislabeling cases have been reported in sushi catering. this work developed a simple conventional multiplex pcr, which discriminates the two toxic gemfishes from other potentially replaced species, such as tunas, cod, and sablefish. a common degenerate forward primer and t ... | 2016 | 26739756 |
| unusually high levels of non-saponifiable lipids in the fishes escolar and rudderfish identification by gas and thin-layer chromatography. | analysis of the non-saponifiable lipids of the fishes lepidocybium flavobrunneum and ruvettus pretiosus (escolar), and centrolophus niger and tubbia spp. (rudderfish) was performed. the analyses were used to clarify the cause of recent reports of illness (diarrhoea) in australia from consumption of purported rudderfish. both escolar and rudderfish contained very high levels of oil (generally between 14 to 25%, as % wet mass) in the fillet and the oil compositions were different to most seafood. ... | 2001 | 11760999 |
| the influence of depth on mercury levels in pelagic fishes and their prey. | mercury distribution in the oceans is controlled by complex biogeochemical cycles, resulting in retention of trace amounts of this metal in plants and animals. inter- and intra-specific variations in mercury levels of predatory pelagic fish have been previously linked to size, age, trophic position, physical and chemical environmental parameters, and location of capture; however, considerable variation remains unexplained. in this paper, we focus on differences in ecology, depth of occurrence, a ... | 2009 | 19666614 |
