Genetic structure of round scad mackerel Decapterus macrosoma (Carangidae) in the Indo-Malay archipelago

Mitochondrial DNA analysis of the geographic structure of Indian scad mackerel , Decapterus russelli ( Carangidae ) in the Indo - Malay archipelago

Purification and characterization of antioxidative peptides from round scad (Decapterus maruadsi) muscle protein hydrolysate.

Muscle protein from round scad (Decapterus maruadsi) was hydrolyzed with five commercial proteases, namely, Alcalase, neutral protease, papain, pepsin, and trypsin. Round scad hydrolysate (RSH) prepared with Alcalase demonstrated high antioxidative activity. After ultrafiltration, RSH-III fraction (MW<5kDa) exhibited the strongest activity. Then, RSH-III was purified by gel filtration chromatog...

The Malay Archipelago

The Victorians, who knew nothing of genetics, greatly believed in heredity, and Charles Darwin was born, in 1809, into a family which offered considerable advantages along this line. Darwin's mother was Susannah Wedgwood, whose name is honored for its beautiful china still being produced today. His father, Dr. Robert Darwin, was a well-known physician, and the son of Dr. Eramus Darwin, an early...

Identification of the major allergens of Indian scad (Decapterus russelli).

The purpose of this study was to characterize major allergens of Indian scad (Decapterus russelli) which is among the most commonly consumed fish in Malaysia. Raw and cooked extracts of the fish were prepared. Protein profiles and IgE binding patterns were produced by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting using sera from subjects with fish alle...

DNA Barcoding Reveals Cryptic Diversity within Commercially Exploited Indo-Malay Carangidae (Teleosteii: Perciformes)

BACKGROUND DNA barcodes, typically focusing on the cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI) in many animals, have been used widely as a species-identification tool. The ability of DNA barcoding to distinguish species from a range of taxa and to reveal cryptic species has been well documented. Despite the wealth of DNA barcode data for fish from many temperate regions, there are relatively few available ...
