Identification of genes expressed in the liver of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus by expressed sequence tagsFisheries Science - Tập 71 - Trang 504-518 - 2005
Nur Rahmawaty Arma, Ikuo Hirono, Takashi Aoki
A list of genes expressed in the liver of Japanese flounder was complied using an expressed sequence tag (EST) strategy; 940 EST derived from liver cDNA clones were determined. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that 537 (57%) of the EST could be ascribed to the transcriptional products of identified genes including 397 previously described in fish. The identified genes were classified with respect t...... hiện toàn bộ
Reproduction of sea urchin Loxechinus albus in Chiloé Island, ChileFisheries Science - Tập 73 - Trang 1265-1273 - 2007
Sohei Kino, Yukio Agatsuma
During 1986–1989, the seasonal maturation and gonad index (gonad weight/body weight × 100) of adult Loxechinus albus were examined at nine sites, and the appearance of fourarmed echinopluteus larvae was investigated at three sites off the eastern coast of Chiloé Island, Chile. Spawning occurred during November–January when the gonad indices fell to a minimum, the number of mature specimens decreas...... hiện toàn bộ
Production of an antibacterial substance by Bacillus mojavensis strain F412 isolated from a Myanmar shrimp product fermented with boiled riceFisheries Science - Tập 81 - Trang 795-802 - 2015

An antibacterial-substance-producing bacterium, namely, strain F412, was isolated from a traditional Myanmar shrimp product fermented with boiled rice. It was a gram-positive, spore-forming, and rod-shaped bacterium, and identified as Bacillus mojavensis on the basis of the gyrA sequence. The antibacterial substance of this strain was partially purified from a culture supernatant using two steps o...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative study on general properties of alginate lyases from some marine gastropod mollusksFisheries Science - Tập 75 - Trang 755-763 - 2009

Alginate lyase (EC 4.2.2.3) is an enzyme that splits glycosyl linkages of alginate chain via β-elimination, producing unsaturated oligoalginates. This enzyme is widely distributed in herbivorous marine mollusks, brown algae, and marine and soil bacteria. In the present study, we determined the general properties and partial amino acid sequences of alginate lyases from three Archeogastropoda, i.e.,...... hiện toàn bộ
Food habits of fishes in a freshwater reed belt in Lake Kitaura, eastern Japan, in summerFisheries Science - Tập 84 - Trang 469-476 - 2018
Seiji Usui, Kouki Kanou, Mitsuhiko Sano
The diets and feeding guild structure of a freshwater reed belt fish assemblage (30 species) were examined in Lake Kitaura, part of the Lake Kasumigaura system, eastern Japan, from June to September in 2009 and 2010. Ontogenetic dietary shifts were recognized in 14 species, including several species (e.g., Cyprinus carpio, Tridentiger brevispinis and Hyporhamphus intermedius) targeted by local fis...... hiện toàn bộ
