Kidney cell samples were taken from three male and three female fishes. The mitotic chromosome preparation was prepared directly from kidney cells. Conventional staining and Ag-NOR banding techniques were applied to stain the chromosomes. The results showed that the diploid chromosome number of C. trilobatus was 2n=38, the fundamental number (NF) was 54 in both males and females. The types of chromosomes were 6 large metacentric, 4 medium metacentric, 2 medium submetacentric, 4 medium telocentric, 4 small submetacentric, and 18 small telocentric chromosomes. The region adjacent to the short arms near the telomeres of submetacentric chromosome pair 7 showed clearly observable NORs. There was no observation of irregularly sized chromosomes related to sex. The karyotype formula for C.

    FEEDING RELATIONSHIPS OF TELEOSTEAN FISHES ON CORAL REEFS IN KONA, HAWAII EDMUND S. HOBSON! ABSTRACT Feeding relationships ofteleostean fishes on coral reefs atKona, Hawaii, were studied during 1969 and 1970. Fishes that have a generalized feeding mechanism, including those carnivores whose morphologies place them close to the main line ofteleostean evolution, are predominantly nocturnal or crepuscular. These include holocentrids, scorpaenids, serranids, apogonids, priacanthids, and lutjanids. The major prey of the nocturnal species are small, motile crustaceans, which are most available to the direct attacks of generalized predators when they leave their shelters after dark. The major prey of the crepuscular species are smaller fishes, whose defenses against direct attacks of generalized predators are less effective during twilight. Feeding by generalized predators during the day depends largely on being within striking distance ofprey that make a defensive mistake, a position best attained by those predators that ambush their prey from a concealed position, or by those that stalk. Ambushing and stalking tactics have produced some highly specialized forms that, during the day, prey mostly on smaller fishes. Diurnal ambushers include the highly cryptic synodontids, scorpaenids, and bothids; diurnal stalkers include aulostomids, fistulariids, belonids, and sphyraenids-al1 ofthem long, attenuated fishes. Some predators-most notably the muraenid eels-are specialized to hunt deep in reef crevices, and here they capture some of the many small animals that shelter themselves in those crevices, day and night, when resting, injured, or distressed. Mullids use their sensory barbels to detect small animals thathave sheltered themselves amid the superficial covering on the reef, or in the surroundingsand; at least some mullids further use their barbels to drive these prey into the open.

  • The Light Microscopist's Diatom Glossary by D
    The Light Microscopist’s Diatom Glossary 2nd Ed. The Light Microscopist's Diatom Glossary by D. S. Gill 1st Ed. August 2006 2nd Ed. June 2011 All rights reserved Preface to 2nd Edition The previous Edition of this publication contained a number of formatting errors for which I apologise. Most, if not all, of these have been corrected in this edition. It has been determined that two new term categories should be introduced – Hydrological terms and Oceanographic terms - as references to both these disciplines are frequently found in publications and also associated with samples. There is also a growing tendency in papers to include words or terms under the banner of Ecology. These terms have been included where it is felt appropriate. Some readers have also pointed out that the plethora of older texts in languages other than English cause some problems to those of us who are monolingual. Thus, a section relating to German and French terms is to be included in later editions, but will not be as extensive as the current English Glossary. It has become increasingly clear that whilst many of the the relatively older terms have fallen into disuse they were used more or less consistently throughout texts of their time. The same, however, cannot be said for more modern terms where usage and interpretation are sometimes at significant variance one with another. This being the case I have included the disparate descriptions where such seems appropriate. Modern academic papers relating to the Diatomaceae use less of the older terms but have introduced other ‘vogue’ terms, equally confusing to those outside academia or not steeped in a specific discipline.

  • A Revision of the Labrid Fish Genus Anampses
    A Revision of the Labrid Fish Genus Anampses JoHN E. RANDALL1 Abstract The tropical Indo-Pacific wrasse genus Anampses is distinctive in possessing a single pair of broad· projecting incisiform teeth at the front of the jaws, scaleless head, smooth preopercular margin, complete lateral line, IX, 12 dorsal rays, and III, 12 anal rays. It is represented by two subgenera, Pseudanampses with 48 to 50 lateral-line scales (one species, A. geographicus) and Anampses with 26 or 27 lateral-line scales (11 species). Anampses femininus is described as new from specimens collected at Easter Island, Pitcairn, Rapa, New Caledonia, and Lord Howe Island. The female, bright orange with dark-edged blue stripes and a blue caudal peduncle and fin, is unusual in being even more colorful than the male, which is dusky yellow to blackish with vertical blue lines on the scales. The following pairs of nominal Anampses are here recognized as males and females of the same species (the first name of each pair has priority): 1) A. caeruleopunctatus Riippell 2) A. diadematus Riippell (male) 1) A. cuvier Quoy and Gaimard 2) A. godeffroyi Gunther (male) 1) A. chrysocephalus Randall (male) 2) A. rubrocaudatus Randall 1) A. neoguinaicus Bleeker (male) 2) A. fidjensis Sauvage 1) A. meleagrides Cuvier and Valenciennes 2) A. amboinensis Bleeker (male) More evidence is needed for the last pair in the above list, however, to be certain of conspecificity. A. tinkhami Fowler (1946) from the Ryukyu Islands is placed in the synonymy of A. caeruleopunctatus, the species with the broadest distribution of the genus: Red Sea to Easter Island, but not Hawaii.

Quebec, Canada GlV 4G2 ABSTRACT: In April 1984, chlorophyll a and photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton were measured above a coral reef and in the deep chlorophyll maximum (100m) of adjacent oligotrophic oceanic waters. Samples were frachonated into 3 sizes: 0.2-2. 2-5 and 2 5 km. Total chlorophyll a concentrahons were about 0.1 mg m-3, and phytoplankton > 5 pm never exceeded 104 cells I-'; picoplankton were not enumerated. Reef samples differed from oceanic waters by containing higher proportions of diatoms and lower proportions of coccolithophorids Chlorophyll biomass was dominated by the < 2 km fraction in the deep chlorophyll maximum (65 to 90 %), and by the 2 5 pm fraction m reef waters (50 to 65 Oh). In the chlorophyll maximum, cells < 2 pm exhibited the lowest P% of the 3 size fractions.

  • Determination the Presence of Amplification Products of 16S Rrna Microcystis Aeruginosa As a Biomarker of Drowning
    Rom J Leg Med [27] 16-21 [2019] DOI: 10.4323/rjlm.2019.16 © 2019 Romanian Society of Legal Medicine FORENSIC PATHOLOGY Determination the presence of amplification products of 16s rRNA microcystis aeruginosa as a biomarker of drowning Volodymyr M. Voloshynovych1,*, Roman O. Kasala2, Uliana Ya. Stambulska3, Marian S. Voloshynovych4 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Forensic medical diagnostics of drowning now is a difficult issue to resolve. Determination of diatom plankton with light microscopy is one of the supplementary methods for diagnostics of drowning. The disadvantage of this method is the use of concentrated acids to destroy the tissues of the organs, which greatly complicates, and sometimes precludes the detection of diatom plankton. In this case, the detection of other phytoplankton species in internal organs is treated as pseudoplankton, but does not have a diagnostic value. We have developed a sensitive and specific method of drowning diagnostics using a pair of specific oligonucleotide primers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to determine the presence of DNA of Cyanobacteria of the genus Microcystis, namely a fragment of the 16S rRNA gene in the tissues of mice and water samples in order to establish the fact and place of drowning. In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of this method, we conducted an experimental study to detect fragments of the 16S rRNA gene in mice tissues during drowning and post-mortem immersion. The amplification products were found in the tissues of heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, bone tissue, brain tissue, and lungs in case of drowning. During post-mortem immersion products of amplification are detected only in the tissues of lungs.

  • Automatic Plankton Image Classification Combining Multiple View Features Via Multiple Kernel Learning
    Zheng et al. BMC Bioinformatics 2017, 18(Suppl 16):570 DOI 10.1186/s12859-017-1954-8 RESEARCH Open Access Automatic plankton image classification combining multiple view features via multiple kernel learning Haiyong Zheng1, Ruchen Wang1,ZhibinYu1,NanWang1,ZhaoruiGu1 and Bing Zheng2* From 16th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB 2017) Shenzhen, China. 20-22 September 2017 Abstract Background: Plankton, including phytoplankton and zooplankton, are the main source of food for organisms in the ocean and form the base of marine food chain. As the fundamental components of marine ecosystems, plankton is very sensitive to environment changes, and the study of plankton abundance and distribution is crucial, in order to understand environment changes and protect marine ecosystems. This study was carried out to develop an extensive applicable plankton classification system with high accuracy for the increasing number of various imaging devices. Literature shows that most plankton image classification systems were limited to only one specific imaging device and a relatively narrow taxonomic scope. The real practical system for automatic plankton classification is even non-existent and this study is partly to fill this gap. Results: Inspired by the analysis of literature and development of technology, we focused on the requirements of practical application and proposed an automatic system for plankton image classification combining multiple view features via multiple kernel learning (MKL). For one thing, in order to describe the biomorphic characteristics of plankton more completely and comprehensively, we combined general features with robust features, especially by adding features like Inner-Distance Shape Context for morphological representation. For another, we divided all the features into different types from multiple views and feed them to multiple classifiers instead of only one by combining different kernel matrices computed from different types of features optimally via multiple kernel learning.
