We examined how the trophic ecology of nine economically important marine taxa varied across three distinct areas Adriatic Sea. These included species demersal fishes (European hake Merluccius merluccius , red mullet Mullus barbatus black-bellied angler Lophius budegassa ) and two decapod crustaceans (Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus deep-water rose shrimp Parapenaeus longirostris four pelagi...

The grey mullet fingerling were imported to Iran in 1997 from Hong Kong and in coastal fish pond of north part of Iran were successfully cultured in order to obtain broodstocks and induce artificial reproduction. Seasonal changes in serum concentrations of Testosterone, 17-β Estradiole (E2), 17-α Hydroxy Progesterone and also the level of calcium, Triglyceride and cholesterol in females grey mu...

In this study, the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Zn, Cd, Cu, Fe Mn) contamination were determined in Nile tilapia, Mullet fish Crab collected from crude oil polluted rivers (Abuloma Woji Jetty). Average individual PAHs concentration ranged 0.0001mgkg-1 to 11.22±0.02mgkg-1 13.43±0.17mgkg-1 mullet 12.23±0.06mgkg-1 crab. Benzo[a]pyrene (a carcinogenic PAH) con...

Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of global concern in marine ecosystems, notably due to its ability accumulate and concentrate food webs. Concentrations total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg) inorganic (IHg) were assessed compared different tissues (liver, muscle, gonads) three common fish species (hake Merluccius merluccius, red mullet Mullus surmuletus, sole Solea solea) from the continental ...

Mercury (Hg) is a pollutant that has toxic effects on ecosystems and biota. As it biomagnifies in the food chain, its presence edible fish poses high risk to human health. Herein, total Hg (THg) content was quantified 2018–2019 using thermal decomposition amalgamation atomic absorption spectrometry muscle tissue of red mullet (Mullus barbatus), commercially important species throughout Adriatic...
