Recent studies have demonstrated that the G protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) and its natural ligand kisspeptin (KiSS) play important roles in the control of puberty and reproductive maturation in mammals. In addition, GPR54 mRnA has been localized on the neurons expressing three GnRh mRnAs in tilapia (Parhar et al., 2004). however, localization of GPR54 protein on GnRh neuronal elements has ...

A trend in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) aquaculture is to establish production sites suitable for extreme weather conditions. However, continuous and strong currents can harm fish welfare. To determine a site location, the swimming ability of croakers must be assessed. This study aims provide novel insights into physiological characteristics reference fishing cage selection. Curre...

      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 toot...

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the increasing popularity of smart devices, human-computer interaction technology has become a multimedia and multimode technology from being computer-focused to people-centered. Among all ways of human-computer interactions, using language to interact with machines is the most convenient and efficient one. However, the performance of au...

This research evaluated fisheries reference points and stock status to assess the sustainability of croaker fishery (Sciaenidae) from Bay Bengal (BoB), Bangladesh. Sixteen years (2001–2016) catch-effort data were analyzed using two surplus production models (Schaefer Fox), Monte Carlo method (CMSY) Bayesian state-space Schaefer model (BSM) method. applies a Stock–Production Model Incorporating ...

INTRODUCTION Congenital oral granular cell tumour of the newborn is an uncommon benign tumour of uncertain origin. The typical clinical appearance is of a single nodule occurring on the anterior maxillary ridge. In 10% of cases there are multiple lesions. The occurrence of congenital epulis in non-Caucasians is rare. CASE PRESENTATION Two firm pedunculated nodular lesions were noticed in the ...

Abstract At present, large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea , a carnivorous fish ranked fifth in aquaculture production among marine finfishes the world, still relies on raw diet because formulated feed alone is not able to sustain rapid growth of fish. The present study evaluated growth, utilization efficiency, body composition and antioxidant capacity croaker fed diets containing four prot...

Ship aquaculture platforms are expected to become a meaningful way expand offshore farming. The growth performance and nutritional composition of the large yellow croaker reared in an ship system nearshore traditional cage was evaluated this study. results showed that could effectively avoid harsh environment such as typhoons red tides. test adapted culture short time. No serious stress events ...
