  • 1.1. Sterols and aliphatic alcohols of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) liver oil intensively reared and fed on three different diets were studied, with the aim of verifying any differences due to diets and seasonal variations.
  • 2.2. Ten components of the sterol fraction were found; the largest component was cholesterol.
  • 3.3. Nineteen linear chain alcohol components were identified: there were between 14 and 32 carbon atoms, mainly saturated; the 28:0 and the 30:0 were the most abundant.
  • 4.4. Evident differences were not due to the three diets adopted, but to the seasonal conditions; the quantity of sterols present in the liver decreased in the cold months, in connection with reproduction.

  • 1.1. Weekly injections of bovine growth hormone (bGH) increased the maximal transport rate of both Na+-dependent and Na+ -independent l-leucine transport with little effect on the affinity constants in the intestine of striped bass hybrids.
  • 2.2. The Na+-dependent and the Na+-independent transport of the non-metabolizable analog cycloleucine was also stimulated by bGH.
  • 3.3. The Na+ -dependent active transport was stimulated 2 days after the hormone treatment, while the stimulation of the Na+-independent diffusional transport was not observed until after 2 weeks of treatment.
  • 4.4. Studies of intestinal morphometry and l-leucine transport using brush border membrane vesicles suggested that bGH affects intestinal amino acid absorption initially by increasing the number of transporters per cell.
  • 5.5. This phase is followed by a general increase of the intestinal mass after long-term treatment with the hormone.

  • 1.1. A fall of environmental temperature causes a decrease in total polyamine concentrations of heart, red and white muscles of sea bass fed on a diet containing 70% herring meal (diet S).
  • 2.2. When sea bass was fed with a diet partially replaced by casein (diet A), an increase of total polyamine concentration in liver and heart was observed at a lower temperature.
  • 3.3. In all tissues studied an increase of putrescine concentrations and a parallel decrease of spermidine and spermidine levels were found for both groups S and A of sea bass when the temperature was lowered.
  • 4.4. In general concentrations of putrescine, spermidine and spermine were considerably higher in group A when the temperature was lowered.

  • 1.1. Short-chain fatty acid concentration was 180mmol/l in the proximal colon and decreased to 108 mmol/l in the rectum.
  • 2.2. Fermentation in chymus from different regions of the colon, showed the pattern of end products to reflect the substrate and not the site of the colon.
  • 3.3. Isolated mucosa from proximal and distal colon had electroneutral sodium absorption of 4.8 ± 0.2 and 2.9 ± 0.8 μeq/cm2 hr in bicarbonate free media, which was abolished in the absence of chloride.
  • 4.4. Electroneutral sodium absorption was enhanced by short-chain fatty acids in the proximal colon and could be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Km 2.0–11 mmol/l and Jm 1.6–3.6μeq/cm2 hr. In the distal colon the stimulation was smaller and propionate even inhibited sodium absorption.
  • 5.5. Butyrate was absorbed in the proximal colon, whereas acetate and propionate, and butyrate in the distal colon had a flux ratio of one.
  • 6.6. Amiloride (5 mmol/l) inhibited sodium absorption and net butyrate absorption.

  • 1.1. The mechanical properties of the stalk and cirri of Cenocrinus asterius L. were analysed using freshly autotomized stalk segments.
  • 2.2. When tested in bending, the proximal portions of the stalk had a lower flexural stiffness than the medial/distal portions. The difference between the proximal and medial/distal regions was less than an order of magnitude.
  • 3.3. The rate of plastic deformation (creep) of stalk segments and cirri subjected to a constant load was used to calculate the coefficient of viscosity. Measurements taken while the samples were bathed in sea-water, distilled water, or potassium enriched sea-water produced no obvious differences in the viscous properties of the samples.

  • 1.1. Studies were conducted in order to determine the combined effects of low environmental pH and temperature on embryonic survival capacity and metabolic rates in the dragonfly, Anax junius Drury. Studies were also conducted to assess the effects of hypoxia on hatching success as well as to investigate the role of hypoxia as a possible physiological triggering mechanism for hatching.
  • 2.2. At water temperatures of 10–30°C, an environmental pH value of 3.0 was extremely limiting and significantly reduced hatching success.
  • 3.3. Over a pH range of 3.0–5.0, a water temperature of 30°C was found to be severely limiting. Over a pH range of 6.0–7.0, hatching success was greater than 80% at test temperatures ranging from 10 to 25°C.
  • 4.4. Embryos of A. junius exhibited a greater tolerance to markedly low environmental pH (3.0) than that previously reported for fish and amphibians, although survival capacity was less than 10%.
  • 5.5. An environmental pH value of 3.0 has a significant detrimental effect on embryonic development. Survivorship and developmental rate increase significantly over a pH range of 4.0–5.0.
  • 6.6. Oxygen consumption rates were lowest for fertilized eggs exposed to a pH of 3.0 at all test temperatures (10–30°C). Metabolic rates increased significantly at pH 4.O.
  • 7.7. Embryos hatch successfully under hypoxic conditions in both aqueous and nonaqueous media. Results suggest that hypoxia acts as a triggering mechanism for hatching in this aquatic insect.

  • 1.1. A bioassay for octopus saliva, based on detachment of crab dactylopodite flexor muscle under standard conditions, has been developed.
  • 2.2. There is a direct relationship between increasing caseinolytic activity of saliva from Eledone cirrhosa and decreasing muscle detachment time.
  • 3.3. Fractionation of saliva, using preparative isoelectric focusing, shows that muscle releasing activity is restricted to fractions containing proteins with high isoelectric points and maximum caseinase activity.
  • 4.4. It is concluded that proteolytic enzyme(s) in octopus saliva selectively release crab muscle from attachment to the carapace.

  • 1.1. The digestion proteases in five marine species (Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (L); Dover sole, Solea solea (L); turbot, Scophthalmus maximus, (L); European lobster, Hommarus gammaarus (L); and the giant prawn, Penaeus monodon) have been compared by biochemical methods.
  • 2.2. The pH profiles for the hydrolysis of casein by extracts from the digestive systems of each species showed different characteristics; extracts from adult halibut, turbot and sole exhibited strong pepsin-like activity; whereas this enzyme was absent in P. monodon and in sole larvae.
  • 3.3. Although lobster extracts, from either the hepatopancreas or the stomach, showed peaks at pH values of 5.8 and 2.5, this latter activity did not hydrolyse a specific substrate for pepsin.
  • 4.4. Halibut and turbot digestive extracts contained an activity optimal at pH values in the region of 5.0 resembling a cathepsin-like enzyme; an activity which was not evident in the other species under similar experimental conditions.
  • 5.5. Although all species possessed trypsin-like activity, the pH profiles of activity in the neutral to alkaline region were unique to each species.
  • 6.6. The significance of these results is considered with respect to the anatomical differences in the alimentary systems of these species.

  • 1.1. Chemical feeding stimulants for an herbivorous fish, Tilapia zillii have been determined by fractionation and bioassay of substances derived from a model food plant.
  • 2.2. Stimulation was produced by amino acids; glutamic acid, aspartic acid, serine, lysine and alanine produced the bulk of stimulatory activity.
  • 3.3. These amino acids are among the most abundant in the test plant, and are markedly different from the amino acids found to stimulate feeding in carnivorous fish.
  • 4.4. On the basis of these results, a chemically-mediated mechanism of feeding niche separation is postulated.

  • 1.1. Five classes of sea bass serum lipoproteins were purified by single vertical spin ultracentrifugation and agarose column chromatography
  • 2.2. VLDL, beta migrating, are the larger and less dense lipoproteins.
  • 3.3. LDL are the more heterogeneous in size, ranging from 11 × 106 to 1 × 106.
  • 4.4. HDL represent the predominant class which, on the basis of density and electrophoresis migration, is differentiated in three subclasses.
  • 5.5. VHDL float at a density > 1.22 mg/ml, which corresponds to the density of the other serum lipoproteins. This subclass, with an apparent molecular weight of 1.5 × 105, resembles the albumin-like fatty acids binding proteins, shown in mammals and teleosts and absent in elasmobranchs.

  • 1.1. Using one force-fed meal, eight mature female rainbow trout received [14C]astaxanthin ([14C]Ax) with [3H]canthaxanthin ([3H]Cx; N = 3) or with [3H]zeaxanthin ([3H]Zx; N = 5).
  • 2.2. Approximately 200 μl of blood were collected via caudal puncture every 24 hr for 4 days. After 96 hr, the fish were killed and pyloric caeca (P.C.) from the duodenal intestine (D.I.) section, ileal intestine (I.I.), and posterior intestine (P.I.) were dissected out.
  • 3.3. In the blood, Ax levels were higher than Cx followed by Zx levels.
  • 4.4. This corresponds to their respective absorption by the trout as was confirmed by their relative concentrations in P.C., I.I. and P.I.
  • 5.5. However, blood clearance was similar for all three compounds. [14C]Phoenicoxanthin ([14C]Px) was detected as a reduced metabolite of [14C]Ax in all gut sections.
