The pathogenicity of a Nervous Necrosis Virus isolate obtained from naturally infected Golden grey mullet (Liza auratus) suffering serious mortalities in Iranian coastline water of the Caspian Sea was investigated for first time. An experimental infection has been performed using three groups, two experimental groups and one control group of Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) with mean weight 0.47±0.0...

The present study was carried out in 2011 to measure concentration of heavy metals chromium and tin in liver and muscle tissue of Liza aurata (golden grey mullet) in estuaries of the rivers Babolroud, Tajan and Gorganroud. Accordingly, after sampling the target are asandisolating muscle (18samples) and liver (18samples) tissues, they were digested and analyzed using Graphite Furnace Atomic Abso...

Myroides sp. are gram negative aerobes and known for its oppurtunistic pathogenicity in humans. In the present study, Myroides odoratimimus isolated from the gut of Mugil cephalus showed potential infectivity to the experimental grey mullet and acted as an ultimate pathogen with significant symptoms. Furthermore, the inoculum isolated from the infected fishes were cultured and the selected colo...

Activ~ties of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), glutamate oxaloacetate transanunase (GOT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) were measured in blood plasma and some tissues of grey mullet Mugd auratus Risso. After determination of optimal assay conditions, cardiac sampling for LDH estimation was recommended. Tissue distribution of enzymers and their origln in plasma were described, in particula...

A part of the Raša Bay (western Croatia) is an estuary that fed by sediment load from River. The local area had been affected former coal industry. aim this study was to determine levels hazardous trace elements (HTEs) in bottom estuarine sediments, fish and mussels collected two sites downstream River mouth, a wild boar’s kidney donated hunters. pseudo-total concentrations 21 HTEs sediments we...
