Striped Mullet Mugil cephalus
The striped mullet is in the order Mugiliformes, family Mugilidae. There are nine species of mullet found in the western central Atlantic, the most common being the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758. There are two species of mullet found in South Carolina territorial waters, the striped (M. cephalus) and white mullet (M. curema). The remaining species within this family are found mo...
متن کاملSexual differentiation and gonad development in striped mullet (Mugil cephalus L.) from South Carolina estuaries*
The striped mullet (Mugil cephalus L.) is distributed circumglobally in tropical and semitropical waters between latitudes 42°N and 42°S (Thomson, 1963; Rossi et al., 1998). Even though considered a marine species, striped mullet are euryhaline and can be found year round throughout the full range of estuarine salinities in the southeastern United States (Jacot, 1920; Anderson, 1958). Striped m...
متن کاملUptake and Elimination of Brevetoxin in Blood of Striped Mullet (Mugil cephalus) after Aqueous Exposure to Karenia brevis
There is a critical need to simply and reliably monitor brevetoxins routinely in the blood of humans and aquatic animals. We used striped mullet as laboratory test animals to better define the uptake and elimination kinetics of brevetoxin during an aqueous exposure to the brevetoxin-producing dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Striped mullet were first exposed to sublethal densities of K. brevis (a...
متن کاملAnisakidae nematodes isolated from the flathead grey mullet fish (Mugil cephalus) of Buenaventura, Colombia
Anisakiasis is a parasitic infection caused by larval stages of nematodes of the genus Anisakis, Pseudoterranova and Contracaecum, of the Anisakidae family. The lifecycle of these nematodes develops in aquatic organisms and their final hosts are marine mammals. However, humans can act as accidental hosts and become infected with infective stage larvae (L3) by consuming raw or undercooked fish o...
متن کاملBioaccumulation, alterations of metallothionein, and antioxidant enzymes in the mullet Mugil cephalus exposed to hexavalent chromium
A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine hexavalent chromium (Cr) accumulation in the mullet and investigate Cr toxicity using a panel of biomarkers including metallothioneins (MTs), glutathione (GSH), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and superoxide dismutases (SODs) for 4 weeks. Cr bioaccumulation in all tissues, except muscle, was consistently timeand dose-dependent. The accumulatio...
