| molecular evolution of glycogen phosphorylase and aminotransferases of vertebrate muscle tissue. | comparative biochemical studies on phosphorylase b, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in muscles of various vertebrates (the lamprey lampetra fluviatilis, dogfish squalus acanthias, rays dasyatis pastinaca and raja clavata, teleosts scorpaena porcus, spicara smaris, esox lucius, tinca tinca, abramis brama, lucioperca lucioperca, cyprinus carpio, salmo ischchan, frog rana temporaria, tortoise testudo horsfieldi) revealed some peculiarties of their molecular evolution. it was ... | 1977 | 17251 |
| [para-aminohippuric acid secretion by the vertebrate kidney]. | tubular secretory capacity has been investigated in the kidney of marine fishes scorpaena porcus, spicara smaris, frog rana ridibunda and albino rat by determination of maximal transport of p-aminohippurate--tmpah, following values of tmax expressed in mg/hour per 100 g of body weight were obtained: 0.73 +/- 0.17 for s. porcus, 0.92 +/- 0.09 for s. smaris, 0.93 +/- 0.10 for r. ridibunda and 15.6 +/- 1.6 for rats. | 1978 | 629119 |
| metal levels in tissues of the european anchovy, engraulis encrasicolus l., 1758, and picarel, spicara smaris l., 1758, from black, marmara and aegean seas. | levels of metals in commercially important two species, engraulis encrasicolus l., 1758 and spicara smaris l, 1758 from black, marmara and aegean seas, turkey was evaluated. the concentration ranges of cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead and zinc in the samples were 0.01-0.07, 0.01-0.08, 0.09-0.51, 0.21-8.58, 11.9-169, 0.14-2.82, 0.06-1.51, 0.12-0.87, 7.12-45.6 mg kg(-1 )for muscles, and 0.06-0.69, 0.06-0.53, 0.28-2.97, 0.99-30.7, 55.2-316, 0.72-9.67, 0.47-11.6, 0.26 ... | 2008 | 18431521 |
| morphological and molecular redescription of the myxozoan unicapsula pflugfelderi schubert, sprague & reinboth 1975 from two teleost hosts in the mediterranean. a review of the genus unicapsula davis 1924. | elongate plasmodia with myxosporean spores belonging to the genus unicapsula, davis, 1924 were found in the skeletal muscle of the striped seabream, lithognathus mormyrus (l.), a candidate for the mediterranean aquaculture. the only species of unicapsula described from the mediterranean is unicapsula pflugfelderi schubert et al. 1975, which occurs in the picarel, spicara smaris (l.). for morphological and molecular comparison of u. pflugfelderi from s. smaris with unicapsula sp. from l. mormyrus ... | 2009 | 19236560 |
| 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 |
| feeding ecology of indigenous and non-indigenous fish species within the family sphyraenidae. | the feeding ecology of two common indigenous (sphyraena viridensis and sphyraena sphyraena) and one abundant non-indigenous sphyraenid species, sphyraena chrysotaenia, of indo-pacific ocean origin, was investigated in an area of the eastern mediterranean sea. the stomach contents of 738 individuals of varying size, collected during the period december 2008 to august 2009, were examined. the dietary analyses revealed that all three species were specialized piscivores with a diet consisting of >90 ... | 2012 | 22650432 |
| diversity, structure and function of fish assemblages associated with posidonia oceanica beds in an area of the eastern mediterranean sea and the role of non-indigenous species. | temporal and spatial variation in density, biomass and body size of littoral fish species associated with nearshore posidonia oceanica meadows was studied over an annual cycle in an area of the eastern mediterranean sea. a total of 109,350 littoral fishes were collected, belonging to 34 families and 88 species. density of fishes peaked during the summer due to high numbers of juveniles. season was a significant factor determining density, although number of species and biomass did not show any o ... | 2010 | 21155787 |
| philometra spicarae sp. n. (nematoda: philometridae) from the abdominal cavity of the marine fish (picarel) spicara smaris (centracanthidae) off sicily, italy. | a new nematode species, philometra spicarae sp. n. (philometridae), is described from a gravid female found in the abdominal cavity of spicarel, spicara smaris (linnaeus) (centracanthidae, perciformes), from the ionian sea off sicily, italy. the new species differs from most other philometra spp. parasitic in the abdominal cavity of marine fishes by the oesophagus without an anterior inflation, resembling thus only philometra cheilopogoni mordvinova, 1986 and philometra justinei moravec, terneng ... | 2010 | 20428890 |
