Plectranthus is a genus which includes species of ornamental and medicinal potential. It faces taxonomic problems due to aggregating species previously belonging to the genus Coleus, a fact that has contributed to the existence of various synonymies. The species Plectranthus amboinicus, Plectranthus barbatus, Plectranthus grandis and Plectranthus neochilus are included in this context. Some aut...

A new goby species Tridentiger radiatus sp. nov. is described from Zhuhai, Guangdong Province of China. The new species, found in sympatry with a widely distributed barbeled congener Tridentiger barbatus (Günther, 1861), is one of the only two Tridentiger species known to possess mandibular and cheek barbels. Tridentiger radiatus is diagnosed by having higher longitudinal and transverse scale c...

Clearance rates, respiration rates and food absorption efficiencies of the commercially interesting subtidal bivalve Modiolus barbatus were measured at different temperatures under laboratory conditions and scope for growth calculated. Clearance rates were highest at temperatures from 20 °C to 28 °C, whereas respiration rate was maximal at 9 °C and minimal at 26 °C. Highest mean values of absor...

Türkiye denizlerinde yaşayan üç barbunya (Mullus barbatus ponticus, Mullus surmuletus, Upeneus moluccensis) türünün büyüme ve populasyon parametrelerinin tahmin edilen araştırma 1-Eylül 2014-15 Nisan 2015 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verileri Karadeniz (Samsun) Akdeniz (Mersin) kıyılarında demersal trol avcılığı yapan ticari balıkçı gemilerinden temin edilmiştir. Türlerin ortalam...

A new species of Pseudancistrus is described from the Tapajós Basin, and assigned to the P. barbatus group by having hypertrophied odontodes along the snout and lacking evertible cheek plates. The new species is distinguished from other species in that group (P. barbatus, P. corantijniensis, P. depressus and P. nigrescens) by its pattern of spots, length and color of snout odontodes, greater he...

In this study, a total of 366 samples were collected and 30 them belonged to Sardina pilchardus, 54 Engraulis encrasicolus, Belone svetovidovi, 18 Caranx rhonchus, 12 Trachurus mediterraneus, 10 trachurus, 21 Mullus Barbatus, surmuletus, Boopss boops, 35 Oblada melanura, 46 Scomber colias, 22 scombrus 28 Solea solea, obtained by commercial fishermen in the Izmir Bay (Aegean sea coast Turkey) du...

Hysterothylacium fabri is commonly reported in various Mediterranean fish. However, there no data on the mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rrnS) gene sequence of H. larvae Sea waters. Therefore, we aimed to reveal molecular characterization based rrnS current study. Firstly, fourth stage were identified at parasitological examination from Mullus barbatus Sea. Morphologically herein also supported by...

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...
