Given the identification of new species Johnius taiwanesis, genus in Taiwanese water is here reviewed through a collection field samples, museum specimens, and review scientific literature. Seven valid were successfully identified distinguished based on gill raker length, tip upper jaw to mouth hinge lower length second spine anal fin. Our phylogenetic tree cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sh...

This paper investigated the effect of freezing methods on moisture distribution, freshness, protein properties, and microstructure large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) during frozen (?18°C) storage. The include, refrigerator (RF), plate (PF), spiral (SF), immersion (IF), liquid nitrogen (NF). results showed that RF took longest time, 587.3 min, rate PF, SF, IF NF was more than ten times ...

Most attention to the risks from fish consumption has focused on recreational anglers and on fish caught by individuals, but the majority of fish that people eat are purchased from commercial sources. We examined mercury levels in three types of fish (tuna, flounder, bluefish) commonly available in New Jersey stores, sampling different regions of the state, in communities with high and low per ...

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional inflammatory cytokine which exists in multiple tissues and cell lines. In the present study, the full-length cDNA and the genomic sequence of IL-6 (LcIL-6) were cloned from large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea. The full-length cDNA of LcIL-6 was 1066 base pairs (bp), containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 678 bp encoding for 225 amino acids, a 5...

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid sources on growth performance, fatty acid composition, rate-limiting enzyme activities and gene expression related to lipid metabolism in large yellow croaker (Larmichthys crocea). Five iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic experimental diets were formulated to contain different lipid sources, such as fish oil (FO), soybea...

The aim of the study was to determine activity concentration natural radionuclides (226Ra, 210Po, 228Ra and 40K) artificial radionuclide 137Cs in muscle marine fish species most consumed city São Paulo evaluate annual effective dose due consumption fish. Samples were collected supermarket chain Extra Carrefour distribution center CEAGESP. Six selected among available city: anchovy, tuna, dogfis...

In this paper, we analyze the occurrence, abundance, and type of plastic debris (PD) present on digestive tracts 65 white croakers (Micropogonias furnieri) catches from Rio de la Plata Estuary System (RLPES). Eighty percent individuals analyzed had ingested PD, which 156 were thread-like plastics (FO = 83.9 %) 30 fragments 16.1%). The average number pieces per tract was 2.83 ± 3.14. Microplasti...
