Thirty-four microsatellite loci were isolated from three reef fish species; golden snapper Lutjanus johnii, blackspotted croaker Protonibea diacanthus and grass emperor Lethrinus laticaudis using a next generation sequencing approach. Both IonTorrent single reads and Illumina MiSeq paired-end reads were used, with the latter demonstrating a higher quality of reads than the IonTorrent. From the ...

Although there is extensive evidence for impaired endocrine function in fishes exposed to environmental chemicals, information is currently lacking on reproductive endocrine effects of other environmental stressors such as hypoxia. The effects of ten weeks exposure to low dissolved oxygen (DO: 2.7 ppm and 1.7 ppm) on reproductive morphometric and endocrine responses in female Atlantic croaker (...

The proximate composition, amino acids and fatty acids composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Richardson, 1846), were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but the lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher...

Insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play important roles in downregulating IGF activity and growth and development in vertebrates under hypoxic stress. However, the mechanisms of hypoxia regulation of IGFBPs in teleost fishes are unknown. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) in hypoxia upregulation of IGFBPs in Atlantic croaker w...

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has a central role in the adaptive immune system by presenting foreign peptide to the T-cell receptor. In order to study the molecular function and genomic characteristic of class II genes in teleost, the full lengths of MHC class IIA and IIB cDNA and genomic sequence were cloned from miiuy croaker (Miichthys miiuy). As in other teleost, four exons and thr...

On the base of studying multistage instrumental toothed mechanisms provided earlier computer-aided design of multistage gear drives, optimized by criterion of minimum volume is considered. The sowfware’s CAD-systems including computer programs for multistage gear drives of ledge wise, coaxial and orbital arrangements are developed. Different schemes of arrangement are analyzed and results of op...
