The complete mitochondrial genome of the gilthead seabream Sparus aurata Linnaeus 1758, one of the world's most important mariculture species, was sequenced using next generation sequencing technology. The genome sequence is comprised of 16,652 bp exhibiting the canonical vertebrate mitochondria gene order. Regions of gene overlap, tRNA length, as well as start and stop codon were similar to th...

The history and status of aquaculture genetics in Israel were reviewed a few years ago (Hulata 1995). The current report reviews trends and progress of the second half of the 1990s, and provides the vision and perspective for the next couple of years. Selective breeding work is currently focused mainly on tilapias (Oreochromis sp.) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). Edible and ornamental co...

Striped Turing patterns and solitary band and disk structures are constructed using a three-variable multiscale model with cubic nonlinearity and global control. The existence and stability conditions of regular structures are analysed using the equation of motion of curved boundaries between alternative states of the short-range component. The combined picture of transitions between striped an...

The striped gecko (Hoplodactylus stephensi Robb 1980) is one of the rarest and most restricted of the New Zealand lizards. Until now it has been found only on Stephens Island in western Cook Strait and Maud Island in Pelorus Sound. The species is strongly nocturnal and primarily arboreal, inhabiting shrublands and forest remnants. In March 1997 an unusual and distinctive gecko was found in a ho...

Lipid-related traits are important candidates for a breeding goal gilthead seabream, because they affect both fish and human health, as well production efficiency. However, to date there have been very few estimates of genetic parameters these traits, the relationship between fatty acids other never reported seabream. Therefore, aim this study was estimate genomic heritability relationships fat...

The formation of striped phases of dialkyl disulfides on Au(111) and graphite has been monitored by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). STM imaging clearly exhibits the formation of striped phases having corrugation periodicities that are nearly consistent with the molecular length of alkanethiolate moieties formed after the S-S bond cleavage of dialkyl disulfide on a gold surface. This is the...

We have developed radiation detectors using the new synthetic diamonds. The diamond detector has an advantage for observations of ”low/medium” energy gamma rays as a Compton telescope. The primary advantage of the diamond detector can reduce the photoelectric effect in the low energy range, which is background noise for tracking of the Compton recoil electron. A concept of the Diamond Compton T...

Rako, N., Holcer, D. & Fortuna, C. M.: Long-term inshore observation of a solitary striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, in the Vinodol Channel, Northern Adriatic Sea (Croatia). Nat. Croat., Vol. 18, No. 2., 427–436, 2009, Zagreb. The striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) is not a common cetacean species in the northern Adriatic Sea. Its presence is generally related to deeper offshore area...
