A field isolate of pike fry rhabdovirus (PFR-80560) isolated from roach was tested for pathogenicity in fry of roach Rutilus rutilus L., common carp Cyprinus carpio L., grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella Valenciennes and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Richardson. The fish were experimentally exposed to the virus by immersion in a virus-seeded water-bath. We also compared the pathogenicity of...

Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase was first observed in 1984 as a minor inositol lipid kinase activity associated with immunoprecipitated oncogene products (e.g. Src, Abl and polyoma mT antigen) and present in activated growth factor receptor complexes (e.g. PDGF receptor). In 1988, the enzyme associated with this activity was found to have the novel ability to phosphorylate the 3 position hydroxy...

to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of l-carnitine on resistance to temperature and salinity stresses in sobaity fry, an experiment was carried out with 240 pieces of fish with average initial weight of 3.01±0.03 g for 10 weeks. experimental treatments were consisted of four levels of 0, 500, 1000 and 1800 (respectively control, lc500, lc1000 and lc1800) mg l-carnitine per kg o...

A total of twenty-three Australian Bass Strait scallops, Pecten fumatus processed by three different cooking methods: steam, battered and deep-fry, and pan-fry were analysed to determine the total lipid and health-benefiting n-3 PUFA contents. Fry process resulted in a significantly higher lipid content (p<0.05) with 1.98g/100g being found in deep-fried and 1.78g/100g in pan-fried scallops whil...

Effects of environmental pollutants are most obvious when mortality is increased. However, there are other nonlethal factors that may affect population size significantly. Endocrine disruption as a mechanism of action for pollutants recently has received much attention. Observations of effects likely caused by endocrine disruptors in pulp mill effluents have been made on several fish species, e...

In order to study the infection dynamics of 2 renal myxozoans, Zschokkella hildae Auerbach, 1910 and Gadimyxa atlantica Køie, Karlsbakk and Nylund, 2007 in cultured Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L. aged 3-19 months, a specific single-round PCR assay and a double-label in situ hybridization protocol were developed. The results demonstrated that the 2 myxozoans show spatial separation of their devel...
