The effect of chitosan coating combined with green tea extract (GTE) on the quality of tigertooth croaker (Otolithes ruber) fillets including chemical, microbiological, texture, color and sensory properties during 16 days of refrigerated storage was investigated. The changes of color different were significantly retared, and the texture parameteres and sensory scores were significantly improved...

The genetic map of a species is essential for its whole genome assembly and can be applied to the mapping of important traits. In this study, we performed RNA-seq for a family of large yellow croakers (Larimichthys crocea) and constructed a high-density genetic map. In this map, 24 linkage groups comprised 3,448 polymorphic SNP markers. Approximately 72.4% (2,495) of the markers were located in...

White croaker (Genyonemus lineatus) are a sentinel fish species for contamination due to their direct interaction with contaminated sediments through benthic foraging. White croaker within the Los Angeles (LA) and Long Beach (LB) Harbor exhibited hierarchical habitat selection: avoiding dredged areas while selecting for areas of high sediment total organic carbon (4.8-8.1%), high polychaete den...

To address the issue of minimum mesh size regulations stow net fishery for croaker species, we tested and compared selectivity exploitation pattern diamond- square-mesh codends with sizes 35, 45 55 mm little yellow (Larimichthys polyactis), silver (Pennahia argentata), flower (Nibea albiflora) in Yellow Sea, China. Our results showed that legal codend (35 diamond-mesh) was inadequate to protect...

White croaker (Genyonemus lineatus family: Sciaenidae) are a schooling, benthic foraging fish historically associated with soft sediment and wastewater outfalls in southern California. While they are often used as an indicator species due to their high organochlorine contaminant loads, little is known of their movements in relation to contaminated habitats. A Vemco Positioning System acoustic t...

This research was to study the effects of lactic acid bacteria fermentation on the quality of little yellow croaker. The effects of the LAB starter composed of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus on the quality of little yellow croaker were studied through a 72 h fermentation process in this study. During 72 h fermentation at 30°C, little yellow croaker inoculated with the LAB...
