| metal levels in trachurus trachurus and cyprinus carpio in turkey. | concentrations of five toxic metals were determined in two fish species from turkish cities during 2010-2011. the obtained lead concentrations for all of the studied trachurus trachurus (mean 777 μg kg(-1)) and cyprinus carpio (mean 439 μg kg(-1)) samples were found to be higher than the maximum level (ml) of 300 μg kg(-1), while cd concentrations in the same samples were lower than the ml. mean chromium (501 μg kg(-1)), ni (272 μg kg(-1)) and cu (785 μg kg(-1)) concentrations in t. trachurus we ... | 2013 | 24779942 |
| trace metals in tissues of the six most common fish species in the black sea, turkey. | concentrations of mn, fe, co, ni, as, se, cd, ag and pb in scale, skin, muscle, gills, liver and the gonads of gilthead seabream (sparus aurata), european seabass (dicentrarchus labrax), black sea salmon (salmo trutta labrax), horse mackerel (trachurus trachurus), red mullet (mullus barbatus) and whiting (merlangius merlangius euxinus) from the black sea, in turkey, were investigated. elemental analyses were performed with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry after sample preparation by ... | 2015 | 25082436 |
| [lipid composition of the muscles and liver of mediterranean fish]. | studies have been made on lipid composition of the liver, white and red skeletal muscles in 9 species of mediterranean fishes (scomber scomber, scomberesox saurus, trachurus trachurus, t. mediteraneus. sprattus sprattus, engraulis engrasicholus, diplodus annularis, gadus merlangus, scorpaena porcus). lipids were fractionated by means of thin layer chromatography. it was shown that the content of lipids in red muscles is significantly higher than in white ones. muscles of highly active species ar ... | 2013 | 664998 |
| differentiation of fresh and frozen-thawed fish samples using raman spectroscopy coupled with chemometric analysis. | the potential of raman spectroscopy was investigated in terms of its capability to discriminate the species of the fish samples and determine their freshness according to the number of freezing/thawing cycles they exposed. species discrimination analysis was carried out on sixty-four fish samples from six different species, namely horse mackerel (trachurus trachurus), european anchovy (engraulis encrasicolus), red mullet (mullus surmuletus), bluefish (pomatamus saltatrix), atlantic salmon (salmo ... | 2015 | 25442555 |
| effect of freezing/thawing process in different sizes of blue fish in the mediterranean through lysosomal enzymatic tests. | the assessment of freshness of different sizes of blue fish (engraulis encrasicolus 12 cm, sardina pilchardus 15 cm, trachurus trachurus 40 cm, scomber japonicus colias 60 cm) was carried out using non-conventional enzymatic methods. the activities of the three lysosomal enzymes (α-glucosidase (ag), β-galactosidase (b-gal) and β-n-acetylglucosamidase (b-na)) in extracts of blue fish muscle were measured over a period of 21 days of storage. a significant increase (p<0.05) of ag activity was obser ... | 2014 | 24262525 |
| concentrations and profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in some popular fish species in nigeria. | the concentrations and profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in 10 popular fish species in the nigerian market were determined with a view to providing information on the health hazards associated with the consumption of these fish species. the concentrations of pahs were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after extraction by ultrasonication with acetone-dichloromethane and clean up. the concentration ranges of the σ16 pahs were 20 to 39.6 μg kg(-1) for parachanna obs ... | 2015 | 25719880 |
| ceratomyxa tunisiensis n. sp. (myxosporea: bivalvulida) from the gallbladders of two carangid fish caught off the coast of tunisia. | a new coelozoic myxozoan species, ceratomyxa tunisiensis n. sp., was found infecting the gallbladders of two carangid fish, caranx rhonchus and trachurus trachurus (perciforme, carangidae), from the gulf of gabès, on the southern coast of tunisia. the parasite develops in spherical mono-, diplo-, or polysporic tropozoites in the gallbladder of the hosts. mature spores are typical of the genus ceratomyxa. they are transversely elongated and narrowly crescent-shaped with a slightly convex anterior ... | 2016 | 26194329 |
| kudoa azevedoi n. sp. (myxozoa, multivalvulida) from the oocytes of the atlantic horse mackerel trachurus trachurus (perciformes, carangidae) in tunisian coasts. | a new species kudoa azevedoi sp. n. (myxozoa, multivalvulida) is described in trachurus trachurus linnaeus, 1758 (carangidae) from fishing harbors in tunisian coasts using spore morphology and ssu rdna sequence data. the parasite occurs only in ovaries within oocytes of mature and immature specimens. spores are quadrate in shape in apical view with rounded edges, having four shell valves and four symmetrical polar capsules. they are of small sizes and measure 3.5±0.41 (3-4.2)×4.5±0.44 (4-5.2) le ... | 2013 | 23435961 |
| occurrence of kudoa sp. (myxozoa) in trachurus trachurus l. (osteichthyes) in portugal. | specimens of trachurus trachurus l., obtained monthly in a fish market of oporto from october 1998 to august 1999, were examined for the presence of kudoa in the muscle. kudoa sp. spores were found in 84.7% of the specimens (n = 209). the prevalence was not significantly different between seasons and was not related to the host's length. the infection does not seem to have negative effects on the fish quality once no macroscopic pseudocysts or myoliquefaction were detected. | 2003 | 12847925 |
