Analysis of the current state fisheries in Volga-Caspian subarea has been carried out. The processes 
 deformation aquatic biological resources Caspian basin have assessed. Modern catches commercial fish decreased by one order magnitude compared to last century. At beginning 20th century stocks semi-anadromous and river species were significant, reached 200-300 thousand tons. In recent yea...

Abstract Anomalocolax nemipteri gen. et sp. nov. is described based on a single specimen of the female recovered from bucco-branchial cavity Japanese threadfin bream, Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch, 1792) (Nemipteridae) in Japan. This species unique family having one process first free segment antennule addition to five plumose setae adult female.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) collection was identified from enteric organs of healthy sea bass and sea bream cultured in tunisia. Thus we charecterized mainly Enterococci group with predominance of E. faecium (53%) and E. faecalis (21%). E. sanguinicola, E. casseliflavus, E. mundtii, E. gallinarum, E. pseudoavium, lactococcus lactis, Aerococcus viridans and Carnobacterium sp. were also identified...

As recreational fishers act relatively autonomously, management relies heavily on voluntary compliance. Therefore, understanding fishers’ views options can be beneficial. This study used a two-phase approach of face-to-face interviews and subsequent online questionnaires to evaluate salient issues affecting the Blue Swimmer Crab (Portunus armatus) Black Bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) fisheries ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The eutrophication process is increased by anthropogenic or aquaculture facilities in marine ecosystems. DNA damage biomarkers for fish species detect genotoxic parameters for ecological risk assessment. The aim of the present study was to determine genotoxic potential induced by marine cage culture in Iskenderun Bay on gilthead sea bream (Sparus ...

The effects of varying dietary digestible protein (DP) and digestible energy (DE) content on performance, nutrient retention efficiency and the de novo lipogenesis of DP origin were examined in triplicate groups of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), fed nine extruded experimental diets. In order to trace the metabolic fate of dietary protein, 1·8% fishmeal was replaced with isotope-labelled wh...

Lectins belong to the pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) class and play important roles in the recognition and elimination of pathogens via the innate immune system. Recently, it was reported that lily-type lectin-1 is involved when a pathogen attacks in the early immune response of fish. However, this study is limited to information that the lectin is involved in the innate immune response a...

Transthyretin (TTR) is an extracellular transport protein involved in the distribution of thyroid hormones and vitamin A. So far, TTR has only been found in vertebrates, of which piscine TTR displays the lowest sequence identity with human TTR (47%). Human and piscine TTR bind both thyroid hormones 3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine (T(3)) and 3,5,3',5'-tetraiodo-l-thyronine (thyroxine, T(4)). Human TT...
