The market for canned mackerel is growing due to their competitive price and the excellent properties of meat. However, weak rules current legislation, coupled with loss discrimination power being obliged use short barcode regions, open up new challenges traceability in processed products. In this study, first time, we applied a two-step mini-barcoding approach identify sold Italian markets mak...

Chub mackerel ( Scomber japonicus ) is an important commercial fish in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Accurate target strength TS underpins acoustic stock assessment but of S. still poorly understood. In this study, Kirchhoff-ray mode (KRM) model was used to estimate and its relationship with sound wave frequency morphology. The results revealed that values varied pitch angle shifts, impact on sc...

Characterizing predator diets is essential to understanding food web dynamics. We investigated the dietary breadth and variation of California sea lion (CSL) Zalophus californianus at 3 Channel Islands from 1981-2015. Prey species were identified hard parts soft-tissue remains pyrosomes recovered fecal samples, revealing a diverse diet fish cephalopods. Percent frequency occurrence percent spli...

This study was carried out between October 2009 to July 2010 and heavy metals like Ba, As, Co, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn were determined from water and 60 fish samples (60 in total) from Antalya Bay. Physic-chemical parameter values were also measured in the seawater from catchment area. Analysis of DORM-3 and DOLT-4, reference materials showed good accuracy with the present analytic system...

Rebeccamycin, a member of the tryptophan-derived indolocarbazole family, is produced by Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes ATCC 39243. The biosynthetic pathway that specifies biosynthesis of this important metabolite is comprised of 11 genes spanning 18 kb of DNA. A presumed early enzyme involved in elaboration of the rebeccamycin aglycone is encoded by rebO, located at the left-hand region of the r...
