Seasonal changes of the thyroid gland structure and hormones secretion was examined in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) in the northwest of Persian Gulf (Musa creek). Thyroid gland composed of follicles scattered around the ventral aorta, near the gills. Follicular cells varied according to secretion of the gland during warm and cold seasons. Thyroid hormones (Triidothyronine [...

An ovigerous female of Argulus matuii Sikama, 1938 was collected from the body surface a yellowfin seabream Acanthopagrus latus (Houttuyn, 1782) in cove facing Bungo Channel off Ehime Prefecture, western Japan. This represents new host record for A. matuii, and is herein described. female, which fixed preserved 70% ethanol, showed prominent coloration, i.e., six streaks yellow fringed with dark...

This work describes the optimization of pressure–time combination for inactivation Listeria monocytogenes in fish medium using a wide range pressure (225–525 MPa) and holding time (5–30 min). Thereafter, yellowfin seabream ( Acanthopagrus arabicus ) filets (100 g each) were subjected to high-pressure (HP) treatment at optimum pressure/time combination, impact HP on amino acid profile, fatty pro...

nonylphenol (np) is a well-known compound as having the potential to mimic the natural hormone 17β-estradiol (e2) and disrupt the endocrine system in a wide range of organisms. however, the ability of different isomers of this compound is different in exerting estrogenic effects. the objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of a straight side-chain np isomer (4-n-np) on the vitello...

Background: Bacterial diseases in cultured fish are considered the main problem to aquaculture system. Skin is the structure that covers the body in fish. Skin histopatological alterations were used to assess the effects of Aeromonas hydrophila exposure on the yellowfin seabream )Acanthopagrus latus(. Methods: In this regard, 90 A. latus were exposed to sublethal concentrations of A. hydrophil...

In this study we detect different levels of blood cells and hematological parameters in five creeks of Mahshahr region in North West of Persian Gulf with different levels of pollutant to characterized hematological response of Yellowfin seabream to environmental pollutant and undesirable materials. Numbers of Blood leukocytes was performed by a hemocytometer Neubauer under the light microscope....

In order to assess the dietary intake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by Kuwaiti population, concentrations of PAHs were determined in edible tissues of commercially important seafood (fish and shrimp) samples collected from fish markets in 2005. Naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthrene, pyrene, benz[a]anthracene and chrysene were routinely detected in all samples analyzed. The conce...
