The large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) is an economically important marine fish in China. To understand the molecular basis for antiviral defense in this species, we used Illumia paired-end sequencing to characterize the spleen transcriptome of polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid [poly(I:C)]-induced large yellow croakers. The library produced 56,355,728 reads and assembled into 108...

The effects of long-term deep freezing and standard storage temperatures on mackerel croaker qualities were evaluated. Fishes packed in air-containing packages stored at −60°C, −50°C, −18°C for six months. Drip losses the thawed deep-frozen fishes (−60°C) lowest throughout period (p< .05), whereas WHC values highest (p<.05), TBARS TVBN levels .05). Consequently, these regarded as fresher than t...

this study was conducted to determine the concentrations of metals (zn, cu, pb, cd and hg) in two commercial fish species of the persian gulf (coast of bushehr province in iran), as well as in the sea waters. the concentrations of metals were determined by using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (dpasv). two selected species were narrow-barred spanish mackerel and tiger tooth croa...

To address the issue of minimum mesh size regulations stow net fishery for croaker species, we tested and compared selectivity exploitation pattern diamond- square-mesh codends with sizes 35, 45 55 mm little yellow (Larimichthys polyactis), silver (Pennahia argentata), flower (Nibea albiflora) in Yellow Sea, China. Our results showed that legal codend (35 diamond-mesh) was inadequate to protect...
