In opposition to toxicology of mammals piscine toxicology is closely connected with the conditions of external environment. The aquatic environment is necessary for embryonic development and after hatching during short or long-lasting larval period of most fish species. An aquatic environment is polluted by many industrial and agricultural wastes. Ammonia as a toxic and common compound in water...

Microplastic (MP) ingestion by fish can not only impact the environment but also human health. This study determines abundance and composition (polymer, shape, size) of MPs ingested gray mullet (Mugil cephalus). A total 30 specimens were purchased from local market collected Lake Cernek located in Kızılırmak Delta, Türkiye fishermen. The digestive tracts removed digested with hydrogen peroxide ...

Allelic silencing is an important mechanism for coping with gene dosage changes in polyploid organisms that is well known in allopolyploid plants. Only recently, it was shown in the allotriploid fish Squalius alburnoides that this process also occurs in vertebrates. However, it is still unknown whether this silencing mechanism is common to other allopolyploid fish, and which mechanisms might be...

AIM The gray mullet, Mugil cephalus, has been farmed in semi-intensive ponds with tilapia and carps in Egypt for years. The current study used the fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (F-AFLP) technique to search for genetic differences between the populations of M. cephalus in the northern region of Egypt and to detect the gene flow between sampled locations and the homogeneity w...

Bu çalışmada, Köyceğiz Lagünü'ndeki üç kefal balığı türünde balık boyutu ve otolit boyutları arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. 119 adet Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, 91 Chelon labrosus (Risso, 1827) 53 saliens 1810) olmak üzere toplam 263 balığının boyu ile sağ sol otolitlerinin boyu, genişliği ölçülmüş ağırlıkları tartılmıştır. Sağ ölçümleri arasında fark istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunma...

Fried Mugil cephalus was investigated under optimal vacuum and atmospheric conditions. The water distribution, texture, color properties of vacuum-fried samples were enhanced compared with atmospheric-fried samples. Meanwhile, frying (VF) reduced the total oil content, protein oxidation, degradation. molecular weight amino acid content suggested that well-preserved during VF. In addition, carbo...

There is intense fishing activity, mainly artisanal, in the Cananéia, Iguape and Ilha Comprida Estuarine System. White mullet (Mugil curema) is one of the local fishery resources and is usually caught with gillnets and fish traps. This study aimed to characterise the Mugil curema fisheries thereby underpinning the management of the species in the region. The study was developed with data collec...

Total length, body mass and gut content mass of young-of-the-year (YOY) perch Perca fluviatilis, dace Leuciscus leuciscus and bleak Alburnus alburnus were recorded over the summer of 2006 at three littoral sites at Upper Lake Constance. In P. fluviatilis and L. leuciscus, gut content mass correlated positively with wave-induced energy flux (E(F)) of the respective site and sampling day, while n...
