| computer-assisted evaluation of isoelectric focusing patterns in electrophoretic gels: identification of smoothhounds (mustelus mustelus, mustelus asterias) and comparison with lower value shark species. | in this work, the most commercially important selachian species, smoothhound (mustelus mustelus) and starry smoothhound (mustelus asterias), have been identified by polyacrylamide isoelectric focusing (ief-page), along with several shark species of minor commercial value. in italy, these two smoothhound species are commonly subjected to fraudulent substitution with lesser valued sharks. after the electrophoretic runs, the band patterns of the two mustelus species were compared with those of dogf ... | 2001 | 11386666 |
| feeding ecology of five commercial shark species of the celtic sea through stable isotope and trace metal analysis. | in order to trace their feeding habits, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (delta15n and delta13c), as well as trace metal concentrations (zn, cd, fe, cu, se and hg) were analysed in the tissues of five commercial shark species from the celtic sea: the tope shark galeorhinus galeus, the black-mouthed catshark galeus melastomus, the starry smooth hound mustelus asterias, the spiny dogfish squalus acanthias and the lesser-spotted dogfish scyliorhinus canicula. our results were compared to p ... | 2005 | 15925404 |
