The Pb, Hg and As content of the muscle, gill and liver of marin organisms Otolithes rubber, Pampus argenteus, Parastromateus niger, Scomberomorus commerson, Onchorynchus mykiss were measured. Analysis of lead and arsenic was carried out by anodic stripping voltammetry method. Hg analysis was done spectrophotometrically. It was found that mercury concentration reaches to maximum in the gill of ...

The monotypic Indo-Pacific genus Parastromateus Bleeker, 1864 is morphologically peculiar among carangid fishes in its overall body form and has been difficult to place phylogenetically. This has been partly the result of a lack of detailed morphological data for this and other carangid fishes. Here, we describe and analyze the osteology of Parastromateus niger (Bloch, 1795), review its taxonom...

Cymothoidae are big parasites on fishes and often they are host specific. This study reports that in India, the Black pomfret (Parastromateus niger), a highly edible marine fish belonging to the family Carangidae, is the type host of Cymothoa eremita (Isopoda, Cymothoidae). Among one hundred and sixty fish examined from April to July, 2010 in Parangipettai coastal waters, only three female spec...
