For it, free fatty acid (FFA) and conjugated diene (CD) formation, peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and fluorescent compounds formation were measured in two different white muscle zones (dorsal and ventral). Comparison with volatile amine formation (total volatile base-nitrogen, TVB- N; trimethylamine-nitrogen, TMA-N) was carried out. A gradual lipid hydrolysis was observed in both zones along the whole experiment. CD and peroxides formation was important during the experiment; peroxides showed the highest value at day 15 in both zones, that was followed by a peroxide breakdown at day 19. Interaction of oxidized lipids with nucleophilic compounds present in the fish muscle led to a gradual fluorescence development during the storage time in both zones. Mean values of the lipid content showed to be higher in the ventral zone than in the dorsal one, although significant differences could not be detected (p<0.05).

Alameda 340, Santiago, Chile. ***[email protected] Abstract.- Data about Brama australis distribution along the Chilean coast and the South Pacific is scarce and varied. The aim of this study was to provide new information concerning the spatial and bathymetric occurrence of B. australis in the Southern Pacific Ocean. To do this, all data and information available in scientific literature regarding Chile and the South Pacific Ocean were collected, including fishery dependent and independent as well as bycatch data. B. australis could be present in a wider latitudinal range from the 27°S to 57°S, including fjords, open ocean, and along a band in the Pacific Ocean, from New Zealand up to the Chilean coast. Thus, B australis shows a wider distribution compared to previous studies especially towards the Southern Chile. Bathymetrically the species occurs with a higher frequency in depths between 100 and 250 m, however a low occurrence was recorded over 500 m depth. A potential association of B.

    The J. L. B. SMITH INSTITUTE OF ICHTHYOLOGY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 14 COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES OF THE FISHES OF SOUTHERN AFRICA PART I MARINE FISHES by Margaret M. Smith RHODES UNIVERSITY GRAHAMSTOWN, SOUTH AFRICA April 1975 COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES OF THE FISHES OF SOUTHERN AFRICA PART I MARINE FISHES by Margaret M. Smith INTRODUCTION In earlier times along South Africa’s 3 000 km coastline were numerous isolated communities. Interested in angling and pursuing commercial fishing on a small scale, the inhabitants gave names to the fishes that they caught. First, in 1652, came the Dutch Settlers who gave names of well-known European fishes to those that they found at the Cape. Names like STEENBRAS, KABELJOU, SNOEK, etc., are derived from these. Malay slaves and freemen from the East brought their names with them, and many were manufactured or adapted as the need arose. The Afrikaans names for the Cape fishes are relatively uniform. Only as the distance increases from the Cape — e.g. at Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Port Elizabeth, do they exhibit alteration. The English names started in the Eastern Province and there are different names for the same fish at towns or holiday resorts sometimes not 50 km apart. It is therefore not unusual to find one English name in use at the Cape, another at Knysna, and another at Port Elizabeth differing from that at East London. The Transkeians use yet another name, and finally Natal has a name quite different from all the rest. The indigenous peoples of South Africa contributed practically no names to the fishes, as only the early Strandlopers were fish eaters and we know nothing of their language.
