Fidalgo L.G., Saraiva J.A., Aubourg S.P., Vázquez M., Torres J.A. (2014): High pressure effects on the activities of cathepsins B and D of mackerel and horse mackerel muscle. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 188–193. We determined high pressure processing (HPP) effects on the activities of cathepsins B and D in the muscles of mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). In macke...

changes in the fatty acid composition and biochemical indices of mackerel (which has a substantial lipid content) and shark (which has negligible lipid content) fillets stored at - 18°c for up to six months were measured. lipid content was measured (6.35% and 1.38%) in mackerel and shark, respectively; however it decreased during frozen storage in both fish species. in analysis of fatty acids t...

This study attempts to determine the effect of feeding mackerel dried by low temperature vacuum method to mice on their learning behavior and fatty acid composition of the nervous system. Thirty-two male mice were fed either a control (palm oil, control group) diet or a diet of 20% dried mackerel (mackerel group) for three months. Learning behavior was assessed using a passive avoidance test, a...

Shifts in species distributions are occurring globally response to climate change, but robust comparisons of redistribution rates among often prevented by methodological inconsistencies, challenging the identification that most rapidly undergoing range shifts. In particular, comparable assessments redistributions harvested essential for identifying climate-driven changes fishing opportunities a...

A comparison of growth data (fish length) with latitude shows that southern juvenile mackerel attain a greater length than those originating from further north before growth ceases during their first winter. A similar significant relationship was found between the growth in the first year (derived from the otolith inner winter ring) and latitude for adult mackerel spawning between 44°N (Bay of ...
