Different studies even on same shrimp species and heavy metals from locations may be inconsistent with each other. Because of their important a food safety risk, therefore, meta-analysis is required to evaluate the true risk level human consumption for these aquatic organisms. In this study, commercially two species, Penaeus semisulcatus (de Hann, 1844) Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798), ...

Proximate and bioactive compounds (total phenolic, flavonoid, chlorophyll-a total carotenoid contents) of three brown seaweeds (Dictyota dichotoma, Padina pavonica, Stypopodium schimperi) a red seaweed (Jania rubens) from the north-eastern Mediterranean Sea (İskenderun Bay) were investigated seasonally at sampling sites. Seasonal variations found for all parameters studied. The highest ash cont...

Stock size and status of red mullet Mullus barbatus were assessed via virtual population analysis yield prediction using on-board observed length-frequency catch data from the north-eastern Mediterranean Sea. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters obtained L∞ = 35.4 cm, k 0.42, t0 0.64, tanc 0.59 Φ′ 2.72. Trawl-type selectivity ogive was calculated as 1.57 years corresponding to 17.1 cm TL. M. i...

The aim of this study is to purpose a simple and effective method for the isolation high-value pigment astaxanthin from shrimp waste, low-value raw material. In study, acetone was used as an extraction solvent. Mobile phase TLC acetone:hexane in ratio 3:7 (v/v). samples belong Parapenaeus longirostris species were obtained local fishermen operating Iskenderun Bay / Turkey. Shrimp waste transpor...

Monthly sampling of speckled shrimp was conducted by bottom trawl in the Iskenderun Bay between November 2009 and October 2010. There was a linear relationship between carapace length and total length in males and females (TL = -0.112 + 0.2294*CL R2 = 0.8298, n = 327) for males, (TL = -0.3918 + 0.2731 * CL R2 = 0.8919, n = 457) for females, and (TL = -0.378 + 0.2684 * CL R2=0.8492, n=784) for t...
