In this study, we determined the technical characteristics and target species of some fishing gears, used in lagoon fisheries along Aegean Sea. The samplings were carried out five lagoons (Enez, Homa, Karina, Akköy Güllük) between 2014 2016. Technical plans gears drawn by MS-Visio programme with scale for gillnets, but no scales longlines. A total 10 type set nets which 8 trammel 2 3 longlines ...

Aim of study: To describe the common behaviour flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) under rearing conditions.
 Area Tepic, Mexico.
 Material and methods: Behaviours exhibited by mullets were videorecorded with submersible cameras installed inside three tanks. A total 690 min per day (07:30 - 18:30 h) recorded tank during a week. Afterwards, different behaviours juvenile M. cephalus d...

Egypt has several beaches, as well the Nile River and a few lakes; therefore, it could compensate for lack of protein in red meat with fish. Fish, however, may become source heavy metal exposure humans. The current study was to assess level five toxic metals, lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), aluminum (Al), six species, namely, Oreochromis niloticus ( O. ) , Mugil cephalus M....

AIM The gray mullet, Mugil cephalus, has been farmed in semi-intensive ponds with tilapia and carps in Egypt for years. The current study used the fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (F-AFLP) technique to search for genetic differences between the populations of M. cephalus in the northern region of Egypt and to detect the gene flow between sampled locations and the homogeneity w...

Two mouse models were used to assay the antiallergic effects of the velvet antler (VA) of Formosan sambar deer (Cervus unicolor swinhoei) in this study. The results using the ovalbumin- (OVA-) sensitized mouse model showed that the levels of total IgE and OVA-specific IgE were reduced after VA powder was administrated for 4 weeks. In addition, the ex vivo results indicated that the secretion of...
