Striped Mullet Mugil cephalus
The striped mullet is in the order Mugiliformes, family Mugilidae. There are nine species of mullet found in the western central Atlantic, the most common being the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758. There are two species of mullet found in South Carolina territorial waters, the striped (M. cephalus) and white mullet (M. curema). The remaining species within this family are found mo...
متن کاملEnhancing spawning in the grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) by removal of dopaminergic inhibition.
A dot-blot immunoassay for the detection of vitellogenin (Vtg) in plasma of adult grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) was developed. The assay identified the sex of the tested fish prior to detectable gonadal development, enabling the establishment of broodstock at the desired ratio of 7:4 females to males. This broodstock was maintained under natural photoperiod, and used to study the relative effect...
متن کاملA Sympatric Cryptic Species of Mammal: a New Species
-A new species of bat from the genus Rhogeessa is described, which would not have been recognized as distinct if the karyotypes had not been available. The discovery of this species clearly documents that it is possible for two sympatric species of mammals to be so similar in external and cranial morphology that without chromosomal, genic, or some other data, a researcher would never realize a ...
متن کاملNiche partitioning in a sympatric cryptic species complex.
Competition theory states that multiple species should not be able to occupy the same niche indefinitely. Morphologically, similar species are expected to be ecologically alike and exhibit little niche differentiation, which makes it difficult to explain the co-occurrence of cryptic species. Here, we investigated interspecific niche differentiation within a complex of cryptic bumblebee species ...
متن کاملGrey mullet (Mugil cephalus) rearing normative as a new species in Gomishan, Golestan Province
Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) is an important food fish species in the, Mugilidae which is able to adapt in a wide range of salinities and temperatures and is suitable for introduction of the species to freshwater, brackish, and brine waters for aquaculture. This study was implemented to determine appropriate normative of stocking density and initial weight ofMugil cephalus and also evaluate eff...
