our aim in this study was to identify and characterize allergic proteins in cooked wolf herring fish. we heated the crude extract alternatively at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100°c for one hour and results were compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page). also, proteins were immunoblotted with fish-sensitive patients’ sera. the major allergenic proteins were ide...

Abstract Indo-Pacific king mackerel has been long fished by traditional and modern fishers. The fish is a catch target species with high economic value in local export markets. fishing efforts for the have increasingly intensive. management which still lacking. concern is, continuous exploitation will make indo-pacific stock susceptible. condition should be measured based on productivity suscep...

Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), a foundation of coastal social-ecological systems, is in decline throughout much of its range. We assembled data on fish bones from 171 archaeological sites from Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington to provide proxy measures of past herring distribution and abundance. The dataset represents 435,777 fish bones, dating throughout the Holocene, but primarily ...

Laboratory-reared pathogen-free Pacific herring were exposed to pure cultures of Ichthyophonus hoferi, and reproduced the disease seen in naturally infected fish--thus fulfilling Koch's Postulates. Pathogen-free herring used in this study were reared from artificially spawned eggs incubated in filtered, UV-sterilized seawater, eliminating the variables associated with multiple infections, which...

Abstract. Baltic sprat (Sprattus sprattus balticus) and Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras L) are two of the most caught fish species among the Estonian seacoast fishermen, and therefore it is important to understand catching season effects on sprat and herring sensory and nutritional quality. The aim of this study was to measure and compare sensory and chemical variability of Baltic sprat...

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infects a wide range of marine fish species. To study the occurrence of VHSV in wild marine fish populations in Norwegian coastal waters and fjord systems a total of 1927 fish from 39 different species were sampled through 5 research cruises conducted in 2009 to 2011. In total, VHSV was detected by rRT-PCR in twelve samples originating from Atlantic her...

Both the prevalence and tissue titer of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) increased in Pacific herring Clupea pallasi following their introduction into net pens (pounds) used in the closed pound spawn-on-kelp (SOK) fishery in Prince William Sound, Alaska. VHSV was also found in water samples from inside and outside the SOK pounds after herring had been confined for several days; however...

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...

Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is an important commercial fish and shows to be more and more demanded for human consumption. Therefore, it is very important to find good methods for monitoring the freshness of the fish in order to keep it in the best quality for human consumption. In this study, the fish was stored in ice up to 2 weeks. Quality changes during storage were assessed by the Qu...
