We first examined the uptake kinetics of Cd and Zn in the juvenile marine black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegeli) over a wide range of ambient Cd and Zn concentrations, and the relationships with metal accumulation (uptake rate and amount of nonexchangeable surface binding) were established for different fish tissues. Both Cd and Zn accumulation in the ...

Hatching success was examined under exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) using filters to give three different light conditions [C1: UV-B, UV-A and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), C2: UV-A and PAR, C3: PAR] in red Pagrus major and black Acanthopagrus schlegeli sea bream. Hatching rate of both species was reduced by an exposure over a 2 ...

Delta 6-fatty acid desaturase (D6DES) is used in the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from microorganisms to higher animals, including arachidonic acid (ARA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). A 1,338�bp full-length cDNA encoding D6DES was cloned from Acanthopagrus schlegeli (AsD6DES) through degenerate- and RACE-PCR methods. A recombinant ...

Protandrous black porgies, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, have a striking life cycle, which includes early sex differentiation, bisexual gonads, and a male-to-female sex change at three years of age. We found novel features of and insights into the development of the genital duct system in relation to the gonadal stage during early gonadal development and ...

Black porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegeli Bleeker, a marine protandrous hermaphrodite fish, is functionally male for the first 2 years of life, but begins to sexually change to female after the third year. Testicular tissue and ovarian tissue are separated by connective tissue in the bisexual gonad. This sex pattern provides a unique model to study the ...

Bioconcentration of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) was studied in a biphasic (uptake and elimination) study with blackrock fish, Sebastes schlegeli. The blackrock fish was acclimated to varying salinities over a two-week period before the present study. Among the four selected PFCs: perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA), ...

In this study, two common pollutants (benzo[a]pyrene and methamidophos) in marine environment were tested by comet assay for their inducement of in vivo genotoxic effect to the blood cells of black porgy ( Acanthopagrus schlegeli). The fish was exposed to 2 ?g/L of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and methamidophos, and their mixture. The assay was performed on whole ...

This article documents the addition of 411 microsatellite marker loci and 15 pairs of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for the following species: Acanthopagrus schlegeli, Anopheles lesteri, Aspergillus clavatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus ...

We cloned the thyroid hormone receptor alpha (TRalpha) and beta (TRbeta) cDNAs from the ovaries of the protandrous black porgy and compared the expression levels of TRalpha and TRbeta mRNA during the sex change in black porgy. We observed that the TRalpha mRNA by quantitative real-time PCR and protein levels by Western blot were highest in the mature ovaries. Additionally, TRbeta mRNA levels were ...

The protandrous black porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, has a striking life cycle with sex differentiation at the juvenile stage, mono-male development, and male-to-female sex change (with vitellogenic oocytes) at age 3 yr. In the present study, we investigated the possible roles of wnt4 in gonadal development in a nonmammalian model organism (protandrous ...

The protandrous black porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, has a striking life cycle, with sex differentiation at the juvenile stage, mono-male development, a bisexual gonad during the first 2 yr of life, and a male-to-female sex change (with vitellogenic oocytes) at 3 yr of age. In the present study, we investigated the possible roles of amh and amhr2 in ...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) plays a pivotal role in control of reproduction and gonadal maturation in teleost fish. To investigate the action GnRH in black porgy (Acanthopagrus schlegeli), we examined the mRNA expression of GTH subunits (GTHalpha, FSHbeta, and LHbeta) in the pituitary as well as plasma estradiol-17beta (E(2)) level following ...

BackgroundThe ELR⁺CXC chemokines are multifunctional mediators that are mainly responsible for the recruitment of leucocytes to sites of inflammation and infection. Because of their high sequence identity with mammalian IL-8, fish IL-8-like CXCs have been named as piscine 'IL-8' and included in the ELR⁺ subgroup, even though there is no reliable ...

Nitrogen balance method and nitrogen-free diet were used in this study to determine nitrogen maintenance requirement (NM) and nitrogen maintenance requirement per unit metabolism body weight (NM') of black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegeli. Fish with body weight (BW) of 50, 80, 120, 160 and 200 g were fed by the diets containing three graded levels of crude ...

A fish pond ecosystem on the west coast of Korea was studied for biotic and abiotic factors. The occurrence rate of phytoplankton at the embanked fish farm was 84 times higher to that of shore waters. Phytoplankton species which occurred during the study period were categorized into Cyanophyta, Dinophyta and Bacillariophyta with a total of 26 subgeneric taxa (22 species of Dinophyta, 2 species of ...

Protandrous black porgy fish, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, have a striking life cycle, with male sex differentiation at the juvenile stage, a bisexual gonad during first 2 yr of life, and a male-to-female sex change (with vitellogenic oocytes) at 3 yr of age.

We exposed green-lipped mussels Perna viridis and black sea breams Acanthopagrus schlegeli to toxic dinoflagellates Alexandrium fundyense to evaluate the accumulation, distribution, transformation, and elimination of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in a controlled environmental condition. The mussels were fed A. fundyense for 7 days followed by 3 weeks ...

We investigated the bioaccumulation of metals (Cd, Se, and Zn) in different juvenile sizes of black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegeli by applying a biokinetic model.

Zinc is an essential trace metal but also a potential toxicant to aquatic organisms. In this study, two juvenile marine fish species, the black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegeli and the grunt Teraponjarbua, were pre-exposed to Zn either from waterborne (0.74-170 microg L-1) or dietary (39-5926 microg g-1) Zn for 1 or 3 weeks. The concentrations of Zn and ...
