Each organism has the limited resources of energy that is distributed among important life traits. A trade-off between immune response and other physiological demands of organism especially costly reproduction is expected. Leuciscus cephalus, the cyprinid fish, was investigated during three periods varying in reproductive investment, that is, before-breeding, breeding, and after-breeding period...

Farming of the freshwater fish is emerging in Brazil and many species from the wild are promising. The teleost matrinxã (Brycon cephalus) holds several characteristics such as fast growth rate, high commercial value and adaptability to artificial raring conditions, which make it a promising species for commerce. The use of pesticides in aquatic environment is frequent in Brazil, and methyl para...

Oxidative damage and antioxidant properties were studied in Mugil cephalus exposed to cadmium, copper, lead and zinc in chronic toxicity test as pollution biomarkers. The elevated thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA-RS) levels observed under exposure to heavy metals, leading to the oxidative damage resulting in lipid peroxidation (LPX). Increased activities of antioxidants, catalase (C...

In this study, the fish species inhabiting Bolaman Stream drains to Black Sea from Fatsa coast (Ordu Province, Turkey) was reported for first time. The study caught out non-periodically by sampling seven stations in between July 2017 and November 2018. Fish samples were captured with an electroshock device. With it determined that fauna of is represented 10 five families (Acheilognothidae, Cypr...

There is growing concern about the environmentally relevant concentrations of new emerging persistent organic pollutants, such as perfluorinated compounds and pharmaceuticals, which are found to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms at suspected cause reproductive toxicity due activation estrogen receptor (ER) α β subtypes. Here, we use a combined silico vitro approach evaluate impact perfluoronon...

Navratil S.: Parasitoses in the Fry of Selected Freshwater Fish Species under the Conditions of Stripping and Rearing. Acta vet. Bmo. 60. 1991: 357-366. During the period from 1984 to 1989. the problem of parasitic invasion into the artificially reproduced and reared fry of the freshwater fish species (Barbus barbus, Chondrostoma nasus. Leuciscus cephalus, Aspius aspius) wereinvestigated at a s...

In this study, genetic differences and phylogenic relationships among six Mugilidae species (Mugil cephalus, M. capito, Liza subviridis, L. saliens, L. aurata, Valamugil buchanani) were determined using PCR-sequencing. M. cephalus, L. subviridis, and V. buchanani from the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, and L. aurata and L. saliens from the Caspian Sea were col-lected. Samples of an imported, Egypt...

Alimentary canal of fishes has a great variety of structural Peculiarities which are important in fisheries and biology. The aim of this study was to explain the anatomical and histological aspects of stomach and pyloric caeca in L. aurata, L. abu and M. cephalus (Mugilidae) from the Caspian Sea. Fifteen adult individuals of mugilidae; Liza aurata, L. abu and Mugil cephalus were collected f...

In this study, the reproductive biology of chub population in Hafik Lake was investigated. 242 samples were caught between April and November 2009. The age of S. cephalus samples were found to range between I-VIII in addition, 153 of them were female and 89 were male. Their fork lengths changed between 114-332 mm, and body weights were between 22.5 and 550.3 g. Male specimens were dete...
