| assessing food web dynamics and relative importance of organic matter sources for fish species in two portuguese estuaries: a stable isotope approach. | stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (δ¹³c, δ¹⁵n) were used to analyse food web dynamics of two of the main estuaries of the portuguese coast: tejo and mira. the ultimate sources of organic matter supporting production of some of the most abundant and commercially important fish species were determined; and seasonal, inter- and intra- estuarine differences in the trophic relations among producers and consumers were identified. stable isotope analysis was performed in different producers, primary ... | 2011 | 21958908 |
| environmental hypoxia as a metabolic constraint on fish: the case of atlantic cod, gadus morhua. | hypoxia is known to provoke a wide range of effects on aquatic animals. here we use laboratory and field data on atlantic cod, gadus morhua, to illustrate that many of these responses can be explained within the metabolic scope (ms) framework, i.e. taking into account the directive and limiting effects of dissolved oxygen (do) on the ability of animals to acquire energy for growth and activity. a ms model for cod shows that scope for activity (swimming, feeding, etc.) is proportional to do and b ... | 2008 | 18508091 |
| heavy metal accumulation in diplodus annularis, liza aurata, and solea vulgaris relevant to their concentration in water and sediment from the southwestern mediterranean (coast of sfax). | the concentrations of heavy metals (cd, cu, fe, pb, ni, and zn) were measured in the liver, gills, and muscle of solea vulgaris, liza aurata, and diplodus annularis, collected from the south coast of sfax (gabes gulf, southwestern mediterranean). the concentrations of heavy metals in water exhibited the following decreasing order (expressed in μg l(-1)): fe > ni > zn > cu > pb > cd whereas the trend is somewhat different in sediments (mg kg(-1) d.w.) fe > zn > pb > ni > cu > cd. the levels of he ... | 2016 | 27040537 |
| caligus solea n. sp. (copepoda: caligidae) parasitic on the common sole solea solea (linnaeus) from the north-eastern mediterranean off the turkish coast. | a new species of caligid copepod, caligus solea n. sp., is described from the common sole solea solea (linnaeus) caught off the north-eastern mediterranean coast of turkey. both sexes of the parasite were collected from all over the upper body surface of its host. the new species belongs to the macarovi-group of species as established by boxshall & gurney (bull br mus (nat hist) (zool), 39:161-178, 1980), with which it shares the following four characters: (i) leg 4 with two-segmented exopod, di ... | 2014 | 25079813 |
| persistent organic pollutants (pops) in sediments from fishing grounds in the nw mediterranean: ecotoxicological implications for the benthic fish solea sp. | sediment polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs), polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), organochlorinated pesticides (ocls) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (pbdes) were measured during winter 2011 at seven sites on the catalan coast (nw mediterranean). also at these sites, the benthic fish solea solea and solea senegalensis were fished for biomarker analysis. chemical concentrations did not exceed the values considered safe by sediment quality guidelines (sqgs) for pahs. however, levels of ddt (9 ... | 2013 | 23219395 |
| important parasites of dover sole (solea solea l.) kept under mariculture conditions. | dover sole (solea solea l.) were examined for parasites at the white fish authority (wfa) fish farm at hunterston, ayrshire, scotland. the most important parasites appeared to be the two blood-feeding ectoparasites lernaeocera sp., a copepod, and hemibdella soleae, an ichthyobdellid leech, and the haematoprotozoan haemogregarina simondi. the anaemia and general malaise of the sole investigated was attributed partly to general stress and the debilitating effects of transfer from the wild into an ... | 1987 | 3658976 |
| fatal asphyxiation in two long-finned pilot whales (globicephala melas) caused by common soles (solea solea). | long-finned pilot whales (globicephala melas) are rare visitors to the southern north sea, but recently two individual strandings occurred on the dutch coast. both animals shared the same, unusual cause of death: asphyxiation from a common sole (solea solea) stuck in their nasal cavity. this is a rare cause of death in cetaceans. whilst asphyxiation has been reported in smaller odontocetes, there are no recent records of this occurring in globicephala species. here we report the stranding, necro ... | 2015 | 26580786 |
| integrating genomic resources of flatfish (pleuronectiformes) to boost aquaculture production. | flatfish have a high market acceptance thus representing a profitable aquaculture production. the main farmed species is the turbot (scophthalmus maximus) followed by japanese flounder (paralichthys olivaceous) and tongue sole (cynoglossus semilaevis), but other species like atlantic halibut (hippoglossus hippoglossus), senegalese sole (solea senegalensis) and common sole (solea solea) also register an important production and are very promising for farming. important genomic resources are avail ... | 2017 | 28063346 |
| enzymatic-microwave assisted extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for the determination of selected veterinary antibiotics in fish and mussel samples. | a new method based on enzymatic-microwave assisted extraction prior to high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) has been developed for the determination of 11 antibiotics (drugs) and the main metabolites of five of them in fish tissue and mussel samples. the analysed compounds were sulfadiazine (sdi), n(4)-acetylsulfadiazine (ndi), sulfamethazine (smz), n(4)-acetylsulfamethazine (nmz), sulfamerazine (smr), n(4)-acetylsulfamerazine (nmr), sulfamethoxazole (smx), trimetroprim (tmp), amoxicill ... | 2011 | 21190806 |
| application of enzymatic probe sonication extraction for the determination of selected veterinary antibiotics and their main metabolites in fish and mussel samples. | a new method based on enzymatic probe sonication extraction prior to high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) has been developed for the determination of 11 antibiotics (drugs) and the main metabolites of five of them in fish tissue and mussel samples. the analytes belong to four different classes of antibiotics (sulfonamides, tetracyclines, penicillins and amphenicols). the analysed compounds were sulfadiazine (sdi) and n(4)-acetylsulfadiazine (ndi) metabolite, sulfamethazine (smz) and n(4 ... | 2010 | 20800727 |
| measuring marine fishes biodiversity: temporal changes in abundance, life history and demography. | patterns in marine fishes biodiversity can be assessed by quantifying temporal variation in rate of population change, abundance, life history and demography concomitant with long-term reductions in abundance. based on data for 178 populations (62 species) from four north-temperate oceanic regions (northeast atlantic and pacific, northwest atlantic, north mid-atlantic), 81% of the populations in decline prior to 1992 experienced reductions in their rate of loss thereafter; species whose rate of ... | 2005 | 15814348 |
| a genetic linkage map of sole (solea solea): a tool for evolutionary and comparative analyses of exploited (flat)fishes. | linkage maps based on markers derived from genes are essential evolutionary tools for commercial marine fish to help identify genomic regions associated with complex traits and subject to selective forces at play during exploitation or selective breeding. additionally, they allow the use of genomic information from other related species for which more detailed information is available. sole (solea solea l.) is a commercially important flatfish species in the north sea, subject to overexploitatio ... | 2014 | 25541971 |
| morphology, seasonality and phylogeny of zschokkella soleae sp. n. (myxozoa, myxosporea) parasite of solea solea (l.) (pleuronectiformes, soleidae) from ghar el melh lagoon, tunisia. | a new myxosporea, zschokkella soleae sp. n., was found in the gall bladder and the bile of common sole, solea solea (l.), from ghar el melh lagoon in north-east tunisia. this is the first record for the presence of zschokkella species in tunisian waters. the parasite's plasmodia are polysporic with variable size and shape. some plasmodia appeared attached to the gall bladder epithelium while others were found free in bile. mature spores are ellipsoidal in frontal view 13.8±0.38 μm long and 10.86 ... | 2013 | 23444921 |
