Biological aspects of amazonian fishes I. Red blood cell phosphates of schooling fishes (genus Semaprochilodus: Prochilodontidae).

Red blood cell soluble phosphates from Semaprochilodus taeniurus, S. insignis and a possible hybrid jaraqui-açu, from Amazon basin, were studied by column chromatography. The Semaprochilodus school and the jaraqui-açu shows an intermediate percentage of total phosphorus content as GTP but not as ATP. GTP/ATP ratio for jaraqui-açu and S. taeniurus were 1.5 and for S. insignis, 3.0.

A comparative study of effects of atrazine on xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in fish and insect, and of the in vitro phase II atrazine metabolism in some fish, insects, mammals and one plant species.

1. Atrazine (3 daily i.p. doses of 0.20 mg/kg or 10 ppb in the water for 14 days) did not change the xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme activities (XME) towards the substrates aldrin epoxidase (AE), NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (NCCR), 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), 1-chloro-2,4-dinitro-benzene (CDNB) and 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene (DCNB) in trout liver (Oncorhynchus mykiss) compared to the controls. 2. Various treatment regimens of atrazine in a semisynthetic diet changed the XME activities towards AE, NCCR, CDNB and DCNB in the cabbage moth (Mamestra brassica L.) soft tissues and midgut compared to the controls. 3. A life-long cabbage diet induced the XME activity towards CDNB in the cabbage moth soft tissues and midgut, whereas no differences in the activities towards AE, NCCR and DCNB were observed compared to controls on a semi-synthetic diet. 4. The cabbage moth GSTs bound poorly to a glutathione (GSH)-linked epoxy-activated Sepharose 6-B; however, based on the CDNB activity recovered by a GSH elution, there were no differences in the molecular weights of the partly purified subunits (27, 26 and 25 kDa) or the pIs (5.4, 4.8, and 4.1) of the molecules in the soft tissues or midguts from respectively atrazine treated and control cabbage moth.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Monogenea of Chinese marine fishes. XIV. Two new species of Microcotylidae from fishes of the South China Sea.

Two new species of microcotylid monogeneans are described. Solostamenides platyorchis n. sp. was obtained from the gills of Mugil cephalus (Mugilidae) and Polylabroides guangdongensis n. sp. from the gills of Sparus macrocephalus, S. berda and Acanthopagrus latus (Sparidae). Solostamenides platyorchis is morphologically similar to S. mugilis (Vogt, 1878) Unnithan, 1971 and S. pseudomugilis (Hargis, 1956) Unnithan, 1971 in the structure of the copulatory organ, but differs from them in the number, arrangement and shape of the testes. Features of P. guangdongensis distinguishing it from other species of the genus include a copulatory organ lacking small spines and an extremely long polar filament on the egg. In view of this species, we suggest omitting the presence of small spines on the copulatory organ as a diagnostic character of the genus Polylabroides Mamaev & Parukhin, 1976.
