Recently, there has been increasing interest in studying microplastic pollution because of its dangerous effects on human health through the food chain. This paper presents first results obtained density some marine species (including oysters, green mussels, mullet and tonguefish) cultured Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province. The indicated that microplastics were present 100% analyzed samples with diffe...

Oocyte growth and development in the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus, were examined during the period of rapid ovarian recrudescence that precedes spawning in coastal waters of northeast Florida. Based on the de novo appearance of yolk proteins detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the oocyte si2e corresponding to the onset of vitellogenic growth was determined to be 0.18 mm (diameter)...

Listeria monocytogenes, characterized by a high mortality rate in humans, is bacterium that causes listeriosis and found various aquatic products. The aim of this research was to investigate the presence, serotype distribution, virulence factor genes, antibiotic susceptibility L. monocytogenes strains isolated from total 500 fish samples whiting (Merlangius merlangus euxinus) (n:243) striped re...

Awareness surrounding plastic pollution has increased significantly in the past decade, leading to concerns on potential adverse effects biota, including consumption of microplastic by fish. Globally, been found many species fish, but little research undertaken southern hemisphere. We assessed abundance and type fish captured sold for human Australia Fiji. Fish (goatfish, sea mullet, paddletail...

Effects on fish reproduction can result from a variety of toxicity mechanisms first operating at the molecular level. Notably, the presence in the environment of some compounds termed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cause adverse effects on reproduction by interfering with the endocrine system. In some cases, exposure to EDCs leads to the animal feminization and male fish may develop ...

a total of 200 moribund rainbow trout with clinical signs of a hyperacute haemorrhagic septicemia were collected from rainbow trout farms in fars, kohkiloyeh-boyer ahmad and charmohal-bakhtiari provinces in the south and southwest of iran during summer 2002 to winter 2008 for detection of lactococcus garvieae, the causative agent of lactococcosis. fish kidney samples were cultured aseptically o...

The scaled skin of fish is a high-performance natural armor that represents a source of inspiration for novel engineering designs. In this paper, we present a biomimetic fish skin material, fabricated with a design and components that are simple, that achieves many of the advantageous attributes of natural materials, including the unique combination of flexibility and mechanical robustness. The...

Saltmarshes in subtropical Queensland, Australia, are assumed to provide habitat for fish, yet there has been no evidence as to whether fish actually occur on the intertidal flats that constitute the main area of marshes. Nor has there been any assessment of differences in fish use of vegetated habitat and the extensive unvegetated saltpans that occur naturally and because of human activities. ...

Aim of study: To describe the common behaviour flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) under rearing conditions.
 Area Tepic, Mexico.
 Material and methods: Behaviours exhibited by mullets were videorecorded with submersible cameras installed inside three tanks. A total 690 min per day (07:30 - 18:30 h) recorded tank during a week. Afterwards, different behaviours juvenile M. cephalus d...
