Estimating the oral bioavailability of methylmercury to channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Estimating the Oral Bioavailability of Methylmercury to Channel Catfish (ictalurus Punctatus)

In classical pharmacology, oral bioavailability of a toxicant is defined as that fraction of an orally administered dose reaching the systemic circulation of the animal. The present study estimates the bioavailability of methylmercury in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) by comparing concentrations in the blood through time after oral and intra-arterial (IA) administration. Catfish were can...

Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus

We used a two-compartment, clearance volume-based model to examine rubidium and cesium Ž . pharmacokinetics in channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus after intravascular administration. We compared the apparent volumes of distribution in the central and peripheral compartments and the intercompartmental and whole-body clearances of both metals at 20.0 8C and 27.5 8C. Biological half-times of Rb we...

High-quality genome assembly of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus

BACKGROUND The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), a species native to North America, is one of the most important commercial freshwater fish in the world, especially in the United States' aquaculture industry. Since its introduction into China in 1984, both cultivation area and yield of this species have been dramatically increased such that China is now the leading producer of channel catf...
