Muara Tekolok, Lombok Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat merupakan salah satu muara dengan biodiversitas ikan tinggi dan jenis yang banyak ditemukan adalah glodok ( Periophthalmus argentilineatus ). Namun demikian, penelitian mengenai karakterisasi genetik dari Tekolok menggunakan gen mitokondria 16S sebagai penanda molekuler belum pernah dilakukan. Oleh karena itu, ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis var...

Levels of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in 30 edible tissues of selected frequently-consumed fish and seafood collected from three coastal waters of Niger Delta, namely, Sime, Kporghor and Iko were investigated in 2014. Gas chromatographic analysis were employed for PAHs determination. Observed mean PAHs levels in the samples ranged from below detection limit (BD) of analytica...

BACKGROUND Persian Gulf is an exposed and stressed area as a result of oil pollution and other fossil fuels containing PAHs. The susceptibility of using mudskippers to monitor marine pollution, like PAHs, points to the fact that mudskippers are able to accumulate and record the PAHs presented in the coastal environments. METHODS Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were examined in the coa...

Prolactin (PRL)-releasing peptide (PrRP) is a strong candidate stimulator of pituitary PRL transcription and secretion in teleosts. However, the role in control of extrapituitary PRL expression is unclear even in mammals. To study the possible presence of PrRP-PRL axes not only in the brain-pituitary but also in peripheral organs, the expression patterns of PrRP, PRL and growth hormone (GH) wer...
