چکیده
Five specimens of the non-native three spot gourami (Osphronemidae: Trichogaster trichopterus) were collected from a small pond near the northern coast of Jamaica in June 2009. The collection represents the first documentation of this species in Jamaica. Origin of the introduction is not known. Herein, we discuss the occurrence of this species in Jamaica and possible threats posed to the island’s native fish fauna.

Background: Effect of drugs on different receptors may cause effect and also unexpected side effects. For example, using Dopamine as an anti-parkinson drug block the upper GnRH axis and thatchr('39')s why some sexual disorders happen.

متن کاملPreliminary morphometrics of spleen and kidney macrophage aggregates in clinically normal blue gourami Trichogaster trichopterus and freshwater angelfish Pterophyllum scalare.
Macrophage aggregate (MA) morphometry and pigment composition are believed to be dependent on the species, age, and health status of the fish. The aim of this study was to characterize a "normal" morphometry baseline of spleen and kidney MAs in blue gourami Trichogaster trichopterus and freshwater angelfish Pterophyllum scalare. Three size-classes of clinically normal fish were analyzed. Blue g...
