| studies on the morphology and taxonomy of three new myxosporeans of the genus sinuolinea davis, 1917 (myxosporea: sinuolineidae) infecting the urinary bladder of some marine fishes from the shandong coast, china. | the morphology and taxonomy of three new species of myxosporeans (myxosporea: sinuolineidae), sinuolinea shandongensis n. sp., s. argyrosomi n. sp. and s. platycephali n. sp., parasitising marine fishes collected from the yellow sea off the coast of southeast shandong, china, were investigated. these species, including spores and plasmodia, were found in the urinary bladder of their hosts. the diagnostic features of the new species are as follows. s. shandongensis n. sp. from nibea albiflora: mo ... | 2003 | 12815216 |
| 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 |
| [distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in aquatic species from the pearl river estuary]. | polybrominated diphenyl ethers (pbdes) were detected in biota samples collected from the pearl river estuary. the concentrations of sigma10 pbdes (bde28, 47, 66, 100, 99, 85, 154, 153, 138, 183) in fish species (including platycephalus indicus, pseudosiaena crocea , pampus argenteus, cynoglossus robustus, and harpodon nehereus), shrimps (including metapenaeus ensis and metapenaeus affinis) and squilla oratoria were from 37.8 ng x g(-1) to 407.1 ng x g(-1) (normalized to lipid), from 49.0 ng x g( ... | 2006 | 17117624 |
| a new type of lectin discovered in a fish, flathead (platycephalus indicus), suggests an alternative functional role for mammalian plasma kallikrein. | a skin mucus lectin exhibiting a homodimeric structure and a s-s bond between subunits of approximately 40 kda was purified from flathead platycephalus indicus (scorpaeniformes). this lectin, named fhl, exhibited mannose-specific activity in a ca(2+) dependent manner. although fhl showed no homology to any previously reported lectins, it did exhibit ~20% identity to previously discovered plasma kallikreins and coagulation factor xis of mammals and xenopus laevis. these known proteins are serine ... | 2011 | 21613239 |
| change of volatile compounds in fresh fish meat during ice storage. | the change of volatile compounds in fresh fish meat during 3- to 4-d ice storage was investigated for several fishes using an electronic nose system and a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (gc/ms) with headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (spme). principal component analyses for samples using the electronic nose system revealed that the increase of some volatile compounds during storage was rapid in sardine (sardinops melanostictus), jack mackerel (trachurus japonicus), and chub mackerel (s ... | 2011 | 22416694 |
| lead bioaccumulation and toxicity in tissues of economically fish species from river and marine water. | bioaccumulation of lead was determined in muscle and liver of barbus xanthopterus, liza abu, barbus grypus, acanthopagrus latus, platycephalus indicus, otolithes ruber exposed to lead contaminated river and marine in khouzestan. significant variations in metal values were evaluated using student's t test at p < 0.05. in river fish, liver was polluted in comparison with muscle and high level was in b. xanthopterus (2.80 mg kg(-1) wet weight) except for b. grypus in karkhe river (1.73 mg kg(-1)wet ... | 2012 | 22531841 |
| arsenic and mercury in commercially valuable fish species from the persian gulf: influence of season and habitat. | this study was undertaken to determine the concentrations of arsenic and mercury in edible muscle of pelagic (scomberomorus commerson, chirocentrus dorab, sphyraena jello, rachycentron conadum, thunus tonggol), benthopelagic (trichiurus lepturus, caranx sem, pampus argenteus, parastromateus niger) and demersal (nemipterus japonicas, epinephelus coioides, platycephalus indicus, psettodes erumei, pomadasys argenteus, acanthopagrus latus) fish species from the persian gulf during summer and winter. ... | 2010 | 20667462 |
| new records of philometrids (nematoda: philometridae) from marine fishes off iraq, with the erection of two new species and the first description of the male of philometroides eleutheronemae moravec & manoharan, 2013. | based on light and scanning electron microscopical studies, the following five species of philometrid nematodes (nematoda: philometridae) are described from marine fishes from off basrah, southern iraq (arabian gulf): philometra iraqiensis n. sp. (females) from the abdominal cavity and ovary of the klunzinger's mullet liza klunzingeri (day) (mugiliformes: mugilidae), p. megalaspidis n. sp. (females) from the ovary of the torpedo scad megalaspis cordyla (linnaeus) (perciformes: carangidae), philo ... | 2016 | 26790678 |
| taxonomic revision of the flathead fish genus platycephalus bloch, 1785 (teleostei: platycephalidae) from australia, with description of a new species. | the taxonomy of the fish genus platycephalus bloch, 1785 from australia is revised following examination of all extant primary types of australian species, including those previously synonymized. the following 16 australian species, including a single new species, are recognized in this study: platycephalus angustus steindachner, 1866, platycephalus aurimaculatus knapp, 1987, platycephalus bassensis cuvier, 1829, platycephalus caeruleopunctatus mcculloch, 1922, platycephalus chauliodous knapp, 1 ... | 2015 | 25660779 |
