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 ...

The genetic differentiation of many marine fish species is low. Yet local adaptation may be common in marine fish species as the vast and changing marine environment provides more chances for natural selection. Here, we used anonymous as well as known protein gene linked microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA to detect the population structure of the small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis)...

The therapeutic effect of polysaccharide of large yellow croaker swim bladder (PLYCSB) on lupus nephritis has been studied in vivo. A high concentration (50 mg/kg dose) of PLYCSB reduced the levels of serum inflammatory cytokine levels of IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-γ compared to a low concentration (25 mg/kg dose) and control mice. SCr, BUN, TC and TG serum levels of PLYCSB treated mice were lo...

Abstract At present, large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea , a carnivorous fish ranked fifth in aquaculture production among marine finfishes the world, still relies on raw diet because formulated feed alone is not able to sustain rapid growth of fish. The present study evaluated growth, utilization efficiency, body composition and antioxidant capacity croaker fed diets containing four prot...

Fish perceived small molecules with high aqueous solubility by chemoreception. The chemical senses of fish can be divided into olfaction, gustation and less well defined sense which is represented by the general chemical senses and the existing chemosensory cells [1,2]. Fish olfactory sense can detect four main classes of chemicals (odorants) mainly; amino acids, gonadal steroids, bile acids an...
