Behavioral Ontogeny of Marine Pelagic Fishes with the Implications for the Sustainable Management of Fisheries Resources

Behavioral ontogeny of marine pelagic fishes is reviewed in the context of sustainable fisheries resource management. In carangid fishes, development of sensory organs corresponds with their basic behavior such as phototaxis and optokinetic response, whereas the onset of schooling requires the development of the central nervous systems (CNS). Because docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is indispensable ...

STUDIES ON RANCIDITY INHIBITION IN FROZEN HORSE MACKEREL (Trachurus trachurus) BY CITRIC AND ASCORBIC ACIDS

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of a Pelagic Fish, Jack Mackerel (Trachurus japonicus), Based on AFLP Analysis

Trachurus japonicus is a commercially important species in the East Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea. We estimated the gene flow among six populations of T. japonicus from Chinese and Japanese coastal waters by using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technology. A total of 531 bands were amplified for 81 individuals of 6 populations by 4 pair selective primers, 89.27% of w...

High Pressure Effects on the Activities of Cathepsins B and D of Mackerel and Horse Mackerel Muscle

Fidalgo L.G., Saraiva J.A., Aubourg S.P., Vázquez M., Torres J.A. (2014): High pressure effects on the activities of cathepsins B and D of mackerel and horse mackerel muscle. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 188–193. We determined high pressure processing (HPP) effects on the activities of cathepsins B and D in the muscles of mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). In macke...

Damage inhibition during frozen storage of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) fillets by a previous plant extract treatment

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of a commercial plant extract (RP) on the stability of fish during frozen storage. For it, horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) fillets were soaked in water (Water Control) and two RP concentrations (0.333%, RP-1; 1.333%, RP-2) and compared to untreated fillets (Blank Control). Fluorescence detection and thiobarbitu...
