چکیده
The main purpose of this study was to determine feeding habits of young of the year striped sea bream, Lithognathus mormyrus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Canakkale shallow waters (<2m). With this purpose, stomach contents of 113 specimens, total length from 33 to 125 ± 0.18 mm, collected by beach seine from January to December 2007, from 6 different sampling locations, were analyzed. The overall percentages of empty stomachs were 14.16%. Based on the IRI analysis, among the main prey categories copepod (%IRI = 91.19) was the most preferred food group, followed by foraminifera (%IRI = %1.98), peracaridea (%IRI = %1.60), cumacea (%IRI = %1.50), amphipoda (%IRI = %0.75) and mollusca (%IRI = %0.11). No significant differences were found among the seasons (ANOSIM: R = 0.24, P > 0.05) in terms of nutrient preference.

The potential of the hepatic transcriptome expression profile evaluated in a sentinel feral fish to serve as an environmental biomarker was examined. Expression profiles of Lithognathus mormyrus individuals were exhibited using cDNA microarray and were related to the set of exposure conditions at their sites and dates of collection. Expression profiles of individual fish were reasonably cluster...

Copper transporting ATPase, ATP7A, is an ATP dependent copper pump present in all vertebrates, critical for the maintenance of intracellular and whole body copper homeostasis. Effects of copper treatment on ATP7A gene expression in fibroblast cells (SAF1) of the sea bream (Sparus aurata) were investigated by qRT-PCR and by a medium density microarray from a closely related species, striped sea ...
