| davisia hexagrammi n. sp. (myxosporea: sinuolineidae) parasitic in the urinary bladder of marine fishes from the coasts of the yellow sea and bohai bay, china. | a new species of myxosporean (sinuolineidae), davisia hexagrammi n. sp. from marine fishes collected from the coasts off qingdao (tsingtao) and rongcheng on the yellow sea coast and laizhou bay, china, is described. both spores and plasmodia were found in the urinary bladder of two hosts, hexagrammos otakii jordan & starks and agrammus agrammus (temminck & schlegel). the diagnostic features of d. hexagrammi n. sp. are: trophozoite monosporous or disporous; spore body spherical, 9.5-10.5 (9.9 +/- ... | 2002 | 12108412 |
| detection of renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease in salmonid fish, from pen-cultured coho salmon. | the detection of renibacterium salmoninarum antigen from pen-cultured coho salmon was attempted. flounder (limanda herzensteini) (n = 24), greenling (hexagrammos otakii) (n = 5), japanese sculpin (cottus japonicus) (n = 1), and flathead (platycephalus indicus) (n = 22) captured by fishing around coho salmon net pens were examined for the presence of r. salmoninarum antigen by an indirect dot blot assay and by an indirect fluorescent-antibody technique using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. ... | 1992 | 16348666 |
| substrate specificity of chitinases from two species of fish, greenling, hexagrammos otakii, and common mackerel, scomber japonicus, and the insect, tobacco hornworm, manduca sexta. | three chitinase isozymes, hochia, hochib, and hochic, were purified from the stomach of the greenling, hexagrammos otakii, by ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by column chromatography on chitopearl basic bl-03 and cm-toyopearl 650s. the molecular masses and pis of hochia, hochib, and hochic are 62 kda and ph 5.7, 51 kda and ph 7.6, and 47 kda and ph 8.8, respectively. substrate specificities of these chitinases were compared with those of another fish stomach chitinase from the common ma ... | 2006 | 16636466 |
| plasma protein binding of tetrodotoxin in the marine puffer fish takifugu rubripes. | to elucidate the involvement of plasma protein binding in the disposition of tetrodotoxin (ttx) in puffer fish, we used equilibrium dialysis to measure protein binding of ttx in the plasma of the marine puffer fish takifugu rubripes and the non-toxic greenling hexagrammos otakii, and in solutions of bovine serum albumin (bsa) and bovine alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (agp). ttx (100-1000 microg/ml) bound to protein in t. rubripes plasma with low affinity in a non-saturable manner. the amount of bound ... | 2010 | 19778549 |
