the aim of this study was to find the optimal conditions of a newly isolated streptomyces strain jrs 19. screening for keratinase producing bacteria and their keratinase production were investigated. the keratinase produced by the isolate was purified by chromatographic techniques and the optimum ph maintained was 7.0 and maintained at different temperatures viz., 20ºc, 25ºc, 30ºc, 35ºc and 40º...

This study aims to determine the effect of area, size and season on chemical composition Sphyraena barracuda from Sudanese Red Sea Coast. A total 180 fish samples were collected Port Sudan Sawakin fishing sites during winter summer 2020-2021. The fishes sample ranged between (30 - 50) cm in length (250 1000) gm body weight small size, (60 90) (1250 250) for large size. Fish flesh was subject gr...

In the framework of study on wood inhabiting Hyphomycetes in Gilan province, Iran, during 2002- 2003 eighteen taxa belonging to different genera were identified as follows: Chloridium botryoideum, Dendryphiopsis atra, Epicoccum nigrum, Periconia minutissima, Periconia byssoides, Periconia sp., Phaeoisaria clematidis, Pseudospiropes simplex, Sporidesmium adscendens, Sporidesmium brachypus, Spori...

We investigated Hg in muscle tissue of fish species from three trophic levels on fringing reefs of Tutuila (14°S, 171°W), plus water, sediment and turf alga. Accumulation of total Hg in the herbivore Acanthurus lineatus (Acanthuridae, lined surgeonfish, (n=40)) was negligible at 1.05 (±0.04) ng g(-1) wet-weight, (∼65% occurring as methyl Hg). The mid-level carnivore Parupeneus spp. (Mullidae, g...

Colour vision and colour signals are important to aquatic animals, but light scattering and absorption by water distorts spectral stimuli. To investigate the performance of colour vision in water, and to suggest how photoreceptor spectral sensitivities and body colours might evolve for visual communication, we model the effects of changes in viewing distance and depth on the appearance of fish ...
