Hormone Induced Spawning of Summer Flounder Paralichthys dentatus

-During their first year in captivity, summer flounder Parulicthys denratus were induced to spawn with gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) implants, injected carp pituitary extract (CPE) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injections. The percentage of fertile eggs was greatest (-69%) in CPEtreated females. CPE, but not GnRHa or hCG, was capable of stimulating oocyte growth (incre...

Isolation of novel microsatellite markers from Paralichthys lethostigma (Paralichthyidae) and their cross-species application in Pleuronectiformes.

We investigated the genetic diversity of the southern flounder Paralichthys lethostigma. Microsatellite-enriched libraries were constructed and novel microsatellite markers were developed and applied for genetic detection of wild populations. Cross-species amplification was also conducted in five pleuronectiforme species. Of 45 randomly selected and sequenced clones, 43 contained a CA or GA rep...

Turnover and fractionation of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in tissues of a migratory coastal predator, summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus)

Migratory and mobile fishes such as summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) often utilize dietary resources with stable isotope signatures that vary over time and space, potentially confounding diet analyses if tissues with slow turnover are sampled before reaching isotopic equilibrium. A laboratory diet-shift study was conducted using juvenile and young adult summer flounder to (i) determine i...

Infectious necrotizing enteritis and mortality caused by Vibrio carchariae in summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus during intensive culture.

An epizootic causing mortality among cultured summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus occurred in summer of 1998 at a land-based facility on Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA. The disease, flounder infectious necrotizing enteritis (FINE), was characterized by reddening around the anal area, distended abdomens filled with opaque serosanguineous fluid, enteritis and necrosis of the posterior inte...
