A poorly understood factor that may influence differences in the accumulation of a xenobiotic among fishes is interspecies differences in physiology. We have extensively studied the uptake, distribution, and excretion kinetics of the lipophilic herbicide trifluralin (TF) in fish, using a static water exposure system and compartmental toxicokinetic models. We obtained quantitative estimates of p...

American Shad Alosa sapidissima is an anadromous clupeid that once supported a robust fishery but has declined drastically throughout its native range due to overfishing, dam proliferation, and poor water quality. A hatchery program on the James River in Virginia was introduced 1992 support recovery of stocks. Following moratorium enacted 1994, fisheries-independent survey initiated 1998 monito...

the analysis of net catches made in absheron gulfs of the caspian sea during 2011-2012 is provided. the ichthyofauna of absheron gulfs, including 26 species found in the north gulf, and 33 species and subspecies found in the south gulf was studied for the first time. a taxonomical and ecological diversity of the fish fauna of north and south absheron gulfs is characterized. the peculiarities of...

American Shad Alosa sapidissima in the Hudson River, New York, and coastwide have shown major long-term declines. A possible contributing factor is commercial fisheries that harvest this population outside of the Hudson River estuary. Using previously published and new reference microsatellite data from 33 baseline populations, our goals were (1) to estimate the proportion of Hudson River Ameri...

Most single sign-on (SSO) schemes do not handle well scenarios where users work simultaneously with more than one device because their agents do not cooperate. In these scenarios, most SSO systems are really per-machine single sign-on. Besides, most authentication services usually depend on centralized services, may be hard to administer, and do not work well for highly dynamic and partitionabl...

Reports of American shad fecundity identify two important themes regarding egg production in fishes. First, geographic variation occurs and is biologically meaningful. Shad annual fecundity decreases with increasing latitude, but predicted lifetime fecundity does not, because of a counter-gradient of survival probability, all of which can explain the adaptive significance of natal homing. Secon...

Feeding habits of Caspian marine shad Alosa braschnikowii (Borodin, 1904), inhabiting in the western part of Caspian Sea such as prey spectrum and seasonal dynamics have been studied. As in other parts of Caspian Sea, throughout the year, the main hunt of Caspian marine shad constituted kilkas, gobies and shrimps while other groups of zoobenthos were represented in a lesser extent. Importance o...

Research objective was to identify the specific features of distribution microelements (zink, manganese, lead, cadmium) in organs and tissues black-backed shad Alosa kessleri (Grimm, 1887) Dolginsky herring braschnikowii (Borodin, 1904) caught Caspian Sea. Accumulated fish concentrations exceeding maximum permissible limits, heavy metals pose a danger human health. Sampling carried out by stand...
