Microplastic (MP) ingestion by fish can not only impact the environment but also human health. This study determines abundance and composition (polymer, shape, size) of MPs ingested gray mullet (Mugil cephalus). A total 30 specimens were purchased from local market collected Lake Cernek located in Kızılırmak Delta, Türkiye fishermen. The digestive tracts removed digested with hydrogen peroxide ...

AIM The gray mullet, Mugil cephalus, has been farmed in semi-intensive ponds with tilapia and carps in Egypt for years. The current study used the fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (F-AFLP) technique to search for genetic differences between the populations of M. cephalus in the northern region of Egypt and to detect the gene flow between sampled locations and the homogeneity w...

Bu çalışmada, Köyceğiz Lagünü'ndeki üç kefal balığı türünde balık boyutu ve otolit boyutları arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. 119 adet Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, 91 Chelon labrosus (Risso, 1827) 53 saliens 1810) olmak üzere toplam 263 balığının boyu ile sağ sol otolitlerinin boyu, genişliği ölçülmüş ağırlıkları tartılmıştır. Sağ ölçümleri arasında fark istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunma...

Fried Mugil cephalus was investigated under optimal vacuum and atmospheric conditions. The water distribution, texture, color properties of vacuum-fried samples were enhanced compared with atmospheric-fried samples. Meanwhile, frying (VF) reduced the total oil content, protein oxidation, degradation. molecular weight amino acid content suggested that well-preserved during VF. In addition, carbo...

There is intense fishing activity, mainly artisanal, in the Cananéia, Iguape and Ilha Comprida Estuarine System. White mullet (Mugil curema) is one of the local fishery resources and is usually caught with gillnets and fish traps. This study aimed to characterise the Mugil curema fisheries thereby underpinning the management of the species in the region. The study was developed with data collec...

The impact of storage on the chemical composition wet salted Mugil cephalus, Chonas chonas and Gerres oyena from Port Sudan. Red Sea coast was studied. Regression analysis showed significant correlation (p

Using an (AG)13 enriched genomic library of Mugil cephalus, 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized in a test population; the number of alleles ranged from 2 to 11. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.2593 to 0.8966 and from 0.3047 to 0.8454, respectively. Two loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; linkage disequilibrium among the 12 loci ...

− The application of fisheries acoustics in shallow waters opens new fields of observation and allows new methods for abundance estimates. In this paper we deal with echocounting of migrating fish crossing the Beaucaire-Vallabrègues lock, the first obstacle encountered on the Rhône, using a SIMRAD EY500 split-beam sounder, 70 kHz frequency. Two transducers sampled a section of water and evaluat...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Ligula intestinalis and infections caused by these on freshwater fish in rivers and streams in the Kars plateau of north-eastern Anatolia, Turkey. METHODS This research was conducted between April and July 2011. Fish samples were caught via a casting net and an electro-shocker. The samples were immediately examined to determine...

A year-long research on the Mugil cephalus and M. curema diet was conducted. The food content in the cardiac portion of 192 stomachs revealed a great similarity in both species leading to two conclusions: sediments are their basic food and high levels of benthic diatoms are dominant. A total of 130 taxa were found (Nitzschia, Navicula, Amphora, and Cocconeis dominated). Other food components we...
