  • Photoperiod and Temperature Interaction in the Helix Pomatia
    Photoperiod and temperature interaction in the determination of reproduction of the edible snail, Helix pomatia Annette Gomot Laboratoire de Zoologie et Embryologie, UA CNRS 687, Faculté des Sciences et Techniques et Centre Universitaire d'Héliciculture, Université de Franche-Comté, 25030 Besançon Cedex, France Summary. Snails were kept in self-cleaning housing chambers in an artificially con- trolled environment. Mating was frequent under long days (18 h light) and rare under short days (8 h light) regardless of whether the snails were kept at 15\s=deg\Cor 20\s=deg\C.An interaction between photoperiod and temperature was observed for egg laying. The number of eggs laid (45\p=n-\50/snail)and the frequency of egg laying (90\p=n-\130%)were greater in long than in short days (16\p=n-\35/snailand 27\p=n-\77%)but a temperature of 20\s=deg\C redressed, to some extent, the inhibitory effect of short days. At both temperatures only long photoperiods brought about cyclic reproduction over a period of 16 weeks, con- firming the synchronizing role of photoperiod on the neuroendocrine control of egg laying in this species of snail. Keywords: edible snail; mating; egg laying; photoperiod; temperature Introduction The effects of photoperiod and temperature, which influence most reproductive cycles of animals of temperate regions, have given rise to a certain number of observations for pulmonate gastropods. In basommatophorans, the influence of photoperiod and temperature on reproduction has been shown in four species of lymnaeids and planorbids (Imhof, 1973), in Melampus (Price, 1979), in Lymnaea stagnalis (Bohlken & Joosse, 1982; Dogterom et ai, 1984; Joosse, 1984) and in Bulinus truncatus (Bayomy & Joosse, 1987).

Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity.

  • Spermatogenesis and Sperm Ultrastructure in the Land Slug Limax Flavus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata) from Egypt
    Advances in Biological Research 7 (6): 253-265, 2013 ISSN 1992-0067 © IDOSI Publications, 2013 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.abr.2013.7.6.76164 Spermatogenesis and Sperm Ultrastructure in the Land Slug Limax flavus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata) from Egypt Irene Sameh Gamil Department of Zoology and Entomology, Faculty of Science, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt Abstract: Spermatogenesis and sperm ultrastructure are examined and described for the first time in the garden slug Limax flavus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Stylommatophora) in Egypt. Spermatogonia show round nuclei with patchy heterochromatin. The primary spermatocytes are characterized by the presence of synaptonemal complexes. The secondary spermatocytes are reduced in size and contain less cytoplasm and clustered stacks of Golgian cisternae with small proacrosomal vesicles lying close to them. During spermiogenesis, electron-dense plaques develop at both the future anterior and posterior poles of the nuclear surface. These plaques determine the apparent antero-posterior axis of the spermatid, the distal plaque indicates the future anterior part of the cell and the basal one the posterior part where an abundant number of mitochondria are aggregated. The mature spermatozoon shows the characteristic sperm features: an acrosomal vesicle supported by an acrosomal pedestal; a helically keeled nucleus, a neck region and a complex elongate middle piece featuring paracrystalline and matrix layers sheathing the axoneme, coarse fibers and glycogen helices. Key words: Spermiogenesis Spermatozoa Hermaphrodite snail Mollusca Pulmonate INTRODUCTION study, a detailed description of spermatogenesis process till the formation of mature autospermatozoa The bulk of the land Gastropoda consists of is presented.

NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs. and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS series was established in 1983 to replace two subcategories of the Technical Reports series: "Special Scientific Report-Fisheries" and "Circular." The series contains the following types of reports: Scientific investigations that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS; intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope; papers on applied fishery problems; technical reports of general interest intended to aid conservation and management; reports that review in con­ siderable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research; and technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations.

Introduction β-Glucuronidase (ß-D-Glucuronide glucuronosohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.31, CAS: 9001-45-0) is routinely used for the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucuronides from urine, plasma, and other fluids prior to analysis by enzyme immunoassay, mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, or other means. Its solution is a stable reagent for cleaving the glucuronide from drug metabolites, e.g. in toxicology studies. The glucuronidase catalyzes the reaction: This glucuronidase is extracted from red abalone (Haliotis Rufescens). The used abalone is raised in farms along the pacific coast to ensure sustainability for this important enzyme reagent. This glucuronidase is reported to be more effective for urines, and in hydrolyzing opioid glucuronides than steroid ones. Our beta-Glucuronidase solution is highly active, and is lower in viscosity, allowing it to be easily compatible with autosampler delivery. Typically, between 1 and 20 units of glucuronidase is used per µl of plasma, urine, or bile for the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucuronides present in these samples.
