| [method of determining visual pigments in situ and their study in some vertebrates]. | a simple electrophysiological method for determining of visual pigments in isolated retina is described. the method is based on registration of the early receptor potential amplitude which is proportional to the visual pigment content and on measurement of the rate of the decrease of this amplitude under the action of the bleaching light of a known wavelength and intensity. the results of the determining of rod and cone visual pigments in the lamprey lampetra fluviatilis, teleosts diplodus annul ... | 1975 | 814749 |
| enhanced liver metabolism of mutagens and carcinogens in fish living in polluted seawater. | specimens of the seawater fish annular seabream (diplodus annularis) were caught from a polluted harbor area and from a clean reference area. seawater concentrates and fish-muscle extracts were not mutagenic in the salmonella reversion test. liver preparations of fish from the 2 sources were comparatively assayed for microsomal mixed-function oxidases and cytosolic biochemical parameters, as well as for the ability of s12 fractions to activate promutagens or to detoxify direct-acting mutagens. a ... | 1991 | 1705659 |
| the life cycle of monorchis parvus (digenea: monorchiidae) demonstrated by developmental and molecular data. | cercaria cerastodermae i, a digenean parasite of cerastoderma edule, was recorded for the first time in the atlantic ocean off the iberian peninsula. sporocysts were present in the hemolymph of the digestive gland, gonad, gills, and foot of the mollusc. most of the cercariae present within sporocysts were encysted as metacercariae. the corresponding adult stages were obtained after experimental infection of several diplodus sargus artificially reared in fish farms and that had previously been pr ... | 2000 | 10864243 |
| spermiogenesis and sperm ultrastructure of diphterostomum brusinae (digenea, zoogonidae), a parasite of diplodus annularis (pisces, teleostei). | this paper constitutes the first ultrastructural study of spermiogenesis and the spermatozoon of a digenea belonging to the family zoogonidae, diphterostomum brusinae. spermiogenesis follows the general pattern found in the digeneans. it begins with the formation of a differentiation zone in the spermatid. the two centrioles give rise to flagella. these two flagella undergo a rotation of 90 degrees and fuse with the median cytoplasmic process. the proximo-distal fusion occurs at the level of att ... | 2004 | 15322926 |
| mediterranean diplodus annularis (teleostei: sparidae) and its brain parasite: unforeseen outcome. | patterns of parasite load and aggregation of the bird trematode cardiocephaloides longicollis in its main intermediate host in the mediterranean, the annular sea bream, diplodus annularis, were studied in a large sample collected off valencia (spain) and are discussed within the context of the parasite induced host mortality hypothesis. the metacercariae were located within large composite cysts of host origin in the ventricles of the optic lobes of the cerebrum. a weak immunological response wa ... | 2005 | 15982922 |
| life-history- and ecosystem-driven variation in composition and residence pattern of seabream species (perciformes: sparidae) in two mediterranean coastal lagoons. | species composition and length-frequency distributions of six sparid fish species were investigated in two central mediterranean coastal lagoons off the western coast of italy: fogliano and caprolace. in the former, the sparid fauna was dominated by the gilt-head seabream (sparus aurata), whereas in caprolace, species composition was more homogeneous across all six species. size structure varied considerably among species: s. aurata, diplodus puntazzo and diplodus vulgaris had a single-cohort st ... | 2006 | 16266729 |
| host switch of lamellodiscus elegans (monogenea: monopisthocotylea) and sparicotyle chrysophrii (monogenea: polyopisthocotylea) between cage-reared sparids. | sharpsnout bream (diplodus puntazzo) has been used in adriatic aquaculture for less than a decade, but the decreasing trend of rearing this species will probably result in its complete substitution by more exploited sea bream (sparus aurata). only two facilities still rear both fish species in neighbouring cages in monoculture. a switch of parasites was observed between sparids during monitoring of the gill monogeneans of farmed fish. in wild fish of the adriatic sea, lamellodiscus elegans (mono ... | 2007 | 17187241 |

| new records of rare derogenids (digenea: hemiuroidea) from mediterranean sparids, including the description of a new species of magnibursatus naidenova, 1969 and redescription of derogenes adriaticus nikolaeva, 1966. | records of derogenid digeneans in the mediterranean and black sea region are scarce and tend to be restricted to a small number of host-groups, but especially to sparid fishes. this work reports on the presence of derogenine and halipegine derogenids from two sparids, diplodus annularis (l.) and d. sargus (l.), from off the mediterranean coast of spain. five derogenid forms were recovered. derogenes adriaticus nikolaeva, 1966 is redescribed from diplodus annularis, and derogenes sp. is described ... | 2009 | 19789999 |
| mercury contamination in human hair and some marine species from sfax coasts of tunisia: levels and risk assessment. | the aim of this study was to measure the mercury (hg) contents of three marine fish and common seafood species (diplodus annularis, sarpa salpa and sepia officinalis) at two sampling sites in the gulf of gabes, i.e. sidi mansour (polluted site) and kerkennah (control site). these species are frequently consumed by the population living at the sfax coasts of tunisia, particularly by the families of fisherman. additionally, the hair mercury levels of 55 volunteers (28 women, 27 men) were analysed ... | 2010 | 21136288 |

| sun-compass orientation in mediterranean fish larvae. | mortality is very high during the pelagic larval phase of fishes but the factors that determine recruitment success remain unclear and hard to predict. because of their bipartite life history, larvae of coastal species have to head back to the shore at the end of their pelagic episode, to settle. these settlement-stage larvae are known to display strong sensory and motile abilities, but most work has been focused on tropical, insular environments and on the influence of coast-related cues on ori ... | 2015 | 26308915 |
| [characteristics of carbohydrate metabolism in skeletal muscles of the sea carp diplodus annularis l]. | the activity of phosphorylase and glycogen level in white and red skeletal muscles of d. annularis was investigated after two minutes after swimming with the rate of 1.8 m/s. the indicated muscular load decreased the glycogen level in the white muscles by 70%. it has been found that changes in the carbohydrate metabolism of the d. annularis red muscles were negligible. | 2015 | 3188263 |

| empirical evidence for species-specific export of fish naïveté from a no-take marine protected area in a coastal recreational hook and line fishery. | no-take marine protected areas (mpas) are assumed to enhance fisheries catch via the "spillover" effect, where biomass is exported to adjacent exploited areas. recent studies in spearfishing fisheries suggest that the spillover of gear-naïve individuals from protected to unprotected sites increases catch rates outside the boundaries of mpas. whether this is a widespread phenomenon that also holds for other gear types and species is unknown. in this study, we tested if the distance to a mediterra ... | 2015 | 26275290 |
