The ultrastructure of the scolex tegument, bothridial pits (=ciliated pits) and rhyncheal system of Otobothrium mugilis Hiscock, 1954 is described from plerocerci collected from the teleosts Arius graeffei Kner et Steindachner and Mugil cephalus Linnaeus. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that filamentous microtriches with shortened caps are abundant across the entire surface of the tegumen...

The family Mugilidae comprises mainly coastal marine species that are widely distributed in all tropical, subtropical and temperate seas. Mugilid species are generally considered to be ecologically important and they are a major food resource for human populations in certain parts of the world. The taxonomy and systematics of the Mugilidae are still much debated and based primarily on morpholog...

The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP at 60% N ; 35% CO and 5% O ) and 2 2 2 under-vacuum packaging (UV) and cold storage at 4±1°C for 8 weeks on the quality aspects of traditional and liquid flavorings smoked whole and gutted mullet (Mugil cephalus) were the main objectives of this work. Some quality aspects of smoked mullet involved chemical, microbiological and sensory evaluation...

The sanguinicolids Paracardicoloides yamagutii Martin, 1974 and Plethorchis acanthus Martin, 1975 were obtained from their definitive hosts, Anguilla reinhardtii Steindachner and Mugil cephalus Linnaeus (respectively) in the tributaries of the Brisbane River, Queensland, Australia. Two putative sanguinicolid cercariae were collected from a hydrobiid gastropod, Posticobia brazieri Smith, in the ...

The aim of the present study evaluates the fat-soluble vitamins all-trans retinol (vitamin A), cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) content in the fresh edible tissue of Bulgarian fish species: marine-grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) and bonito (Sarda sarda), and freshwater-rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The sample preparation procedure i...

Çalışmanın temel amacı, paragat ile levrek (Dicentrarchus labrax, Linnaeus, 1758) avcılığında canlı yem tipi ve iğne büyüklüğünün birim av verimi kompozisyonu üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. 3/0, 4/0 5/0 J olta kancaları birlikte Akdeniz kum yılanbalığı, lekeli pikarel yassı kefal olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma Mart 2020-Nisan 2021 yılları arasında Çanakkale kıyılarında gerçekleştirilmiştir....

Due to the increasing concern of consumers about farmed fish contamination, in this study, different wild and species (Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), gray mullet (Mugil cephalus), thin lip (Liza ramada) commonly consumed Egypt, were chemically analyzed for presence heavy metals, antibiotics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorine pesticides residues, hormones microbiologically ...

Digitonin extracts have been prepared from the retinae of a dozen species of marine and euryhaline teleost fishes from turbid water habitats. Spectrophotometric analysis of the extracts shows that the photosensitive retinal pigments of these species have maximum absorption above 500 mmicro. In nine species there are retinene(1) pigments with lambda(max) between 504 and 512 mmicro. In the marine...

Fatty acids have been successfully used to trace the transfer of organic matter in coastal and estuarine food webs. To delineate these web connections, fatty acid profiles were analyzed in species of microbes (Azotobacter vinelandii, and Lactobacillus xylosus), prawns (Metapenaeus monoceros and Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and finfish (Mugil cephalus), that are associated with decomposing leaves ...

Heterophyid metacercarial infections in brackish water fishes, i.e., perch, shad, mullet, redlip mullet, and goby, of Jinju-man (Bay), Kyongsangnam-do, Korea, were investigated using a digestion technique. Among 45 perch (Lateolabrax japonicus), the metacercariae of Heterophyopsis continua were found in 55.6% (18.5 metacercariae per fish), Stictodora spp. in 28.9% (3.6), and Metagonimus takahas...
