There has been a widespread world-wide use of flathead mullet, Mugilcephalus, in fish biomonitor studies within the coastal zone. This review summarises this research field, focusing on heavy metals, and considers the implications of the accumulated data. Differences in sampling methodology, tissues analysed and units of reported data provide challenges in assessing and benchmarking these biomo...

outbreaks causing mass mortalities have been observed in the golden grey mullet (liza auratus) population in southern coastal area of the caspian sea since 2002. the clinical signs include neurological abnormalities, such as erratic swimming behavior, spiral swimming, belly-up at rest and over inflation of the swim bladder. three hundred and twelve samples of moribund fish with sizes that range...

This paper reports on the karyotyping of mullet fish species, Liza klunzingeri, endemic of the Persian Gulf. The metaphase chromosome spreads, obtained from kidney cells of 13 specimens were examined. The diploid chromosome number was found to be 2n=48. The karyotype was discovered to be consisted of 48 acrocentric chromosome pairs. The arm number was determined to be NF=48. The chromosome numb...

Salted fish preparations are popular and widely eaten across the world. Salting is a preservation strategy to enhance shelf life by decreasing water activity in muscles. demand increases with less regard for characteristics, novel strategies required healthy production. Lysozyme, EDTA, their mixture, black cumin oil nanoemulsion (BCN) were used dipping treatments make preservative films before ...

ichthyozoonotic mycobacterium spp. poses health risks both to fish and humans. in this study, the presence of ichthyozoonotic mycobacterium spp. was investigated in red mullet (mullus barbatus barbatus) and surmullet (mullus surmuletus), widely caught species in the mediterranean and the aegean sea. a total of 208 fish samples, provided from fishermen of mersin province (turkey) were studied. u...

Sirtuins have received widespread attention due to their diverse physiological role in metabolism. Among sirtuins, SIRT2 is more abundant in adipocytes and exerts effects on adipocyte differentiation, a process which involves conversion of preadipocytes to mature adipocytes orchestrated by adipokines and adipogenic transcription factors. Grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) was chosen as a study organi...

In this study, the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Zn, Cd, Cu, Fe Mn) contamination were determined in Nile tilapia, Mullet fish Crab collected from crude oil polluted rivers (Abuloma Woji Jetty). Average individual PAHs concentration ranged 0.0001mgkg-1 to 11.22±0.02mgkg-1 13.43±0.17mgkg-1 mullet 12.23±0.06mgkg-1 crab. Benzo[a]pyrene (a carcinogenic PAH) con...

The aim of the present study evaluates the fat-soluble vitamins all-trans retinol (vitamin A), cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) content in the fresh edible tissue of Bulgarian fish species: marine-grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) and bonito (Sarda sarda), and freshwater-rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The sample preparation procedure i...

This study aimed to compare the contamination levels of various organohalogenated compounds in two migratory fish species in the Vilaine River in western France. Organochlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins (polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs)), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were analyzed in two diadromous species from the Vilaine e...

this investigation was conducted to survey the growth and survival rate, weight average, fcr, and harvestable white leg shrimp biomass during 107 days culture in mono and poly culture earth pond system with mullet fish. nine 600 m2 earth ponds  were prepared and stocked with 20 shrimp post larvae in each pond (mean weight 0.007 ±0.001 g) for three treatments (each with three replication). after...
