Bu çalışmada, Köyceğiz Lagünü'ndeki üç kefal balığı türünde balık boyutu ve otolit boyutları arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. 119 adet Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, 91 Chelon labrosus (Risso, 1827) 53 saliens 1810) olmak üzere toplam 263 balığının boyu ile sağ sol otolitlerinin boyu, genişliği ölçülmüş ağırlıkları tartılmıştır. Sağ ölçümleri arasında fark istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunma...

Fried Mugil cephalus was investigated under optimal vacuum and atmospheric conditions. The water distribution, texture, color properties of vacuum-fried samples were enhanced compared with atmospheric-fried samples. Meanwhile, frying (VF) reduced the total oil content, protein oxidation, degradation. molecular weight amino acid content suggested that well-preserved during VF. In addition, carbo...

Pseurotins A₁ (1) and A₂ (2) were isolated from a culture broth of the fungal strain Aspergillus fumigatus WFZ-25 as stereoisomers of pseurotin A (3) in 2011. We also isolated 1 and 2 together with 3 from A. fumigatus OUPS-T106B-5 separated from the marine fish Mugil cephalus. In this study, we re-examined the stereochemistry of 1 and 2 using chemical transformation and the CD spectra, and foun...

in this study, the effect of garlic extract on the growth performances ( body weight increase (bwi), specific growth rate (sgr), condition factor (cf), final length (fl) and weight (fw)), feed indices (feed conversion rate (fcr), protein efficiency ratio (per), protein production ratio (ppr)) and body composition (protein, fat, moisture and ash) of mugil cephalus larvae were studied in four tre...

Toxic pollutants entering into aquatic environment exert their effect through altering redox cycling in fish. The antioxidant defence as well as oxidative damage is a common effect in fish exposed to xenobiotics in their water body. Brain requires high and constant oxygen supply to meet its energy needs and generates more free radicals per gram of tissue than does any other organ in the body. T...

The aim of the present study was to determine the presence of p,p’-DDT and its metabolites (p,p’DDE and p,p’-DDD) and ã-HCH and PCBs in the muscle of gray mullet, Mugil cephalus collected from Cuddalore coast of Bay of Bengal during the period from June 2009 to January 2010. Polychlorinated hydrocarbons are convenient indicators of environmental pollution. The analyses were carried out using th...

Fish collected after a mass mortality at an artificial lake in south-east Queensland, Australia, were examined for the presence of nodularin as the lake had earlier been affected by a Nodularia bloom. Methanol extracts of muscle, liver, peritoneal and stomach contents were analysed by HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry; histological examination was conducted on livers from captured mullet. Liver...

The present study was performed to trace the decisive evidence for mixed infection of 2 Myxobolus species, M. episquamalis and Myxobolus sp., in the gray mullet, Mugil cephalus, from Korean waters. Mullets with whitish cyst-like plasmodia on their scales were collected near a sewage plant in Yeosu, southern part of Korea, in 2009. The cysts were mainly located on scales and also found in the in...
