Histamine is a security issue in food safety as an indicator of the freshness consumed fish product; that why we aimed this study to determine histamine content 7 species (Scomber japonicus; Sarda sarda; Sardinella aurita; S. maderensis; Ethmalosa fimbriata; Pomatomus saltatrix and Trachurus trachurus). Hundred eight frozen fresh pelagic scombroid non-scombroid were collected from Nouakchott ma...

During the second semester of 2009, three trips were made from Olhão (Southern Portugal) to Stralsund (Northern Germany) carrying 2.122 animals, which included multiple teleosts, elasmobranchs and invertebrates. This group included scombrids, such as 1.869 Scomber japonicus and 9 Sarda sarda, which are notoriously difficult to transport. However, multiple adaptations to transport regimes adopte...

Introduction Small pelagic fishes constitute large proportions of fisheries and are important components linking lower higher trophic levels in marine ecosystems. Many small the Northwest Pacific spawn upstream Kuroshio spend their juvenile stage Front area, indicating that Current system impacts stock fluctuations. However, distribution these fish relative to has not been determined due dynami...

Chub mackerel, Scomber japonicus, is heavily farmed and harvested due to its demand as a high-quality protein source rich in fatty acids. However, the effects of environmental cues on sexual maturation fish remain understudied. We aim elucidate effect light manipulation hormones related reproduction stress response species. Mackerel were exposed different photoperiods (12 h light:12 dark or 14 ...

Behavioral ontogeny of marine pelagic fishes is reviewed in the context of sustainable fisheries resource management. In carangid fishes, development of sensory organs corresponds with their basic behavior such as phototaxis and optokinetic response, whereas the onset of schooling requires the development of the central nervous systems (CNS). Because docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is indispensable ...
