The healthy live fish Mugil cephalus were purchased from lower Anaikkat in Kollidam River, Thanjavur District. Tamilnadu, India. Mucus was carefully scraped from the dorsal body using a sterile spatula, the collected fish mucus was stored separately at 4 °C for further use. Anticancer activity was done by laryngeal cancer cell lines. Primarily the hemolytic activity was done in chicken and goat...

AIMS To identify the causative agent of the mortality in the fish, Mugil cephalus, in Muttukadu lagoon. METHODS AND RESULTS An enteric bacterium from the kidneys of moribund fish M. cephalus, was isolated and identified as Enterobacter cloacae (MK). Mugil cephalus was experimentally infected by this isolate and was re-isolated from the kidneys of the moribund fish. Enterobacter cloacae isolat...

The study describes the infection of the acanthocephalan, Neoechinorhynchus agilis sp. The (grey mullet) Mugil cephalus is highly valued food along the Corentyne coast, Berbice, Guyana. The fish Mugil cephalus were collected from Bush Lot, Whim, 43 Village 63 Beach and 79 Village, Corentyne coast. The infections with the parasites were observed in posterior region of the intestine, liver and mu...

No-effect concentration as well as safe concentration of mercury was evaluated by exposing Perna viridis and Mugil cephalus to 24-hour static renewal bioassay for 96-hours. The 96-hour LC50 value was 75 and 129 μg/l Hg for Mugil cephalus and Perna viridis. Juvenile mullets were more sensitive than green mussel. The safe concentration calculated were 0.75 and 1.29 μg/l Hg. The no-effect concentr...

The aim of this study was to compare, under controlled conditions, reproduction results of cultured and wild stock of the chub. Wild fish spawned only once a season whereas the cultured stock spawned at least two times. In the multiple-spawn stock, fewer fish spawned and the weight of produced oocytes was reduced compared to the single-spawn stock. Larvae obtained from the multi-spawn forms wer...
