Several microbial disease outbreaks in farm stocks of newly cultured sparid fish species, such as common seabream, redbanded seabream, and white seabream, were recorded from 2004 to 2006. This study describes the isolation and characterization of the potential causative agents, either bacteria or viruses, of these outbreaks. The isolated bacterial strains were characterized according to traditi...

in this study, heavy metals such as al, cr, cu, zn, cd, hg, pb etc. content in liver, muscle and gill of three economical marine species [striped seabream (lithognathus mormyrus linneaus, 1758), two-band bream (diplodus vulgaris geoffroy saint-hilaire, 1817) and common pandora (pagellus erythrinus linneaus, 1758)] obtained from 4 stations (fethiye, bodrum, datça, marmaris) in south aegean coast...

Morphological characteristics such as meristic counts and body shape have long been used in stock identification. Fifty striped seabream, Lithognathus mormyrus, individuals were sampled from the south Black Sea between January 2020 November 2020. Morphometric characteristics given percentage of total length (TL%). Species identification differences sexes seabream analyzed by different statisti...

Abstract Despite the high commercial value of striped seabream Lithognathus mormyrus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Gulf Tunis, biological data on its age, growth and exploitation rate are lacking. With aim estimating parameters, 516 individuals, ranging from 6–27.5 cm total length 3.5–293.5 g weight, were collected artisanal fishing fleet between February 2014 July 2016. The somatic presented a positive ...

Name of the Sequence. Red seabream β-actin cDNA. Genus and Species. Pagrus major. Origin of Clone. Total RNA was isolated from ovary of red seabream. Poly(A)+ RNA was purified using an Oligotex-dT30 (Super) mRNA purification kit (Takara, Japan). Double-stranded complementary DNA synthesis was carried out using a TimeSaver cDNA synthesis kit (Pharmacia Biotech, Uppsala, Sweden). The cDNA library...

Bile salts present in gallbladder of wild and cultured red seabream, Pagrosomus major, a marine teleost were analyzed. The bile from wild red seabream was found to contain two previously unknown bile salts along with two known bile salts, taurocholate and taurochenodeoxycholate. Isolation of each bile salt was performed by column chromatography. Fast atom bombardment mass spectra of the unknown...

In this study, heavy metals such as Al, Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb etc. content in liver, muscle and gill of three economical marine species [striped seabream (Lithognathus mormyrus Linneaus, 1758), two-band bream (Diplodus vulgaris Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817) and Common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus Linneaus, 1758)] obtained from 4 stations (Fethiye, Bodrum, Datça, Marmaris) in South Aegean coast...

Recent studies have indicated that ghrelin stimulates growth hormone release from the pituitary via the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). We have previously isolated two GHSR subtypes from the pituitary of the black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegeli. In the present study, we have cloned and characterized ghrelin from the same fish species at both the cDNA and gene levels. The full-len...

The ontogeny of the alimentary tract and its associated structures (liver, pancreas, gall bladder) was compared between sharpsnout sea bream Diplodus puntazzo and Pagellus erythrinus and some differences were highlighted. The first goblet cells appeared earlier in sharpsnout seabream (5-7 DAH) and later in common pandora (9-11 DAH), as well as taste buds which appeared at 11 DAH in sharpsnout s...
