Abstract:

Taxonomists, ecologists, geneticists or researchers from other biological fields who wish to adopt fish as a constituent of their studies often become discouraged when they find that ichthyology is a complex subject. In fish-based studies, the failure to recognize fishes as distinct biological units can lead to wrong diagnosis. Hence, this review paper attempts to clarify and discuss the latest schools of thought pertaining to fish taxonomy and the techniques for species identification. It is hoped that the contents and illustrations in this paper will assist researchers in laying a good foundation to inform their studies.

Objects Identification in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey on Techniques

Analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. Identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. The f...

Taxonomy , Identification and Principal Species

‘On closer examination the root was found to be covered with excrescences varying from the size of a small pin’s head to that of a little Bean or Nutmeg.’ This observation, from one of the first accounts of root-knot nematodes on plants, was made by Berkeley (1855), an eminent Victorian scientist, on publishing his discovery of galls produced by nematodes on the roots of cucumbers growing in a ...

A review on recent techniques for elimination of fish fertilized egg adhesiveness

The eggs of many fresh water fishes become sticky after activation and contact with water. The stickiness property is caused by presence of glycoprotein molecules in outer layer of eggs. In sturgeons the fourth layer of egg (jelly coat) leaks after contacting with water. In teleosts outer zona-radiate is responsible for stickiness. Egg stickiness is important in natural reproduction, whereas eg...

COVID-19; History, Taxonomy, and Diagnostic Molecular and Immunological Techniques

In recent years, viral epidemics such as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have spread, and this outbreak is thought to be the result of animal-to-human transmission. Hence, accurate diagnostic tests to detect COVID-19 and antiviral antibodies in infected individuals are of utmost importance. This report describes the structure, history, taxonomy, and molecular and immunological techniques for...

ABC transporters in fish species: a review

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins were first recognized for their role in multidrug resistance (MDR) in chemotherapeutic treatments, which is a major impediment for the successful treatment of many forms of malignant tumors in humans. These proteins, highly conserved throughout vertebrate species, were later related to cellular detoxification and accounted as responsible for protecting aquati...
