European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus, Walbaum, 1792), Golden grey mullet (Liza aurata, Risso 1810), and Common sole (Solea solea, Quensel, 1806) are the commercially important fish species caught by trawl purse seine in Mersin Bay, Mediterranean. This study was aimed to investigate proximate compositions, carbohydrate levels, energy contents, fatty acid profiles, lipid quality indexes of pilch...

We evaluated the survival of Streptococcus agalactiae from naturally infected wild mullet (Liza klunzingeri) and experimentally infected Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) frozen at 20 and 70 jC, respectively, for an extended period of time. The brain, eye, head kidney, and intestine of individually frozen wild mullet (N = 22), culture positive for S. agalactiae from fresh tissues following a...

Oocyte growth and development in the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus, were examined during the period of rapid ovarian recrudescence that precedes spawning in coastal waters of northeast Florida. Based on the de novo appearance of yolk proteins detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the oocyte si2e corresponding to the onset of vitellogenic growth was determined to be 0.18 mm (diameter)...

The recruitment of leaping grey mullet, Liza saliens juveniles in the Neretva River estuary (middle eastern Adriatic Sea, Croatia) started in July, was highest in August, decreased in September, and was unobserved later. The juveniles firstly occupied mouths of rivers and channels and then started migrating to more freshwater habitats. By feeding investigation, the harpacticoid copepods were th...

Selenium is an essential micronutrient for humans, and seafood is one of the major selenium sources, as well as red meat, grains, eggs, chicken, liver and garlic. A substantial proportion of the total amount of selenium is present as selenium containing imidazole compound, selenoneine, in the muscles of ocean fish. In order to characterize the selenium content in seafood, the total selenium lev...

This study was carried out during May 2010 – April 2011 in order to determine various biological properties of red mullet occurring in the Eastern Black Sea region. The average length and weight of 1435 specimens were determined as 13.13 cm and 23.14 g, respectively. Weight-length relationship was determined as W = 0.0088 L 3.0338 . The age distribution of this population ranged between I and V...

Truss analysis and length measurements were made on 168 striped red mullet Mullus surmuletus. Multivariate statistical analyses with principal component analysis and partial redundancy analysis (pRDA) were used on these measurements to evaluate the influence of maturity, sex and geographical area distribution on body shape. Truss measurements were important to quantify and discriminate changing...

This article presents materials on the results of an experiment enrichment Artemia salina with unicellular alga Haematococcus pluvialis to increase its nutritional value. For fry marine fish, such as mullet and kalkana, freshwater clary catfish, carp trout, supply fatty acids energy value is still insufficient. Therefore, it necessary enrich brine shrimp additional nutrients The use a component...

We monitored the contamination by environmental estrogens (EEs) of coastal areas in Korea and Japan using the wild grey mullet. The grey mullet were collected from Ansan, Jeju, Yeosu, Tongyeong, and Busan in Korea and Nagasaki, Omuta, and Fukuoka in Japan. Contamination by EEs was determined by measuring vitellogenin (VTG) levels in serum and identifying gonadal abnormalities histologically (i....
