Abstract:

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 eggs can attach to substrate, so brooders can locate the eggs in the best place with the most suitable environmental factors. Also the eggs can be protected by brooders that it strongly raises survival rate. But stickiness is undesirable in hatcheries clumping of sticky eggs results in mortality caused by anoxia and fungal growth. One of the phases in culture of many fresh water fishes, therefore, is to eliminate the egg adhesiveness before incubation. The methods applied for elimination the adhesiveness can be divided into 3 groups: Physical, chemical and enzymatic methods. Physical methods consist of friction the eggs gently with substances such as clay, talc powder and starch. The negative points are lower of hatching rate and time consuming of the process. The most common chemical methods are use of carbamid, tannic acid, milk powder and sodium sulfite (Na2SO3). In enzymatic methods, protease enzymes are administered to eliminate the egg adhesiveness, as the nature of the sticky layer is glycoprotein. Higher hatching rate and quick application are advantageous of this method. Hatching or embryo surviving rate, required time and the expenditure should be noticed for election the best method.

A Review of Fish Taxonomy Conventions and Species Identification Techniques

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...

Electric Impedance of Fertilized Arbacia Egg Suspensions

From the low frequency alternating current impedance and the volume concentrations of suspensions of Arbacia eggs, it is shown that the high resistance membrane is either at or very near the plasma membrane for both unfertilized and fertilized eggs, and that the specific resistances of the perivitelline space and fertilization membrane are not greatly different from that of sea water. The effec...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Electric Impedance of Fertilized Arbacia Egg

In previous work on the alternating current impedance of Arbacia punctulata egg suspensions (Cole and Cole, 1936b), it was found that the unfertilized egg had a static membrane capacity of 0.73/~f./cm. ~ which was independent of the frequency. On fertilization, the low frequency membrane capacity increased to 3.1/~f./cm. 2 and at intermediate frequencies there was evidence of another capacity e...

A Review of Recent Studies on Simulations for Flow around High-Speed Trains

Fluid flow around bluff bodies occurs in numerous fields of science and engineering, such as flows pass vehicles, cables, towers and bridges. These flows have been studied experimentally and numerically for the last several decades. The investigation of flow around high-speed trains is an important application of bluff bodies. Fluid flow, aerodynamic forces and moments, separation and wake regi...
