Dim-light photoreceptor of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus and the photoresponse upon illumination with LEDs of different wavelengths

Abstract: To study the absorption characteristics of rhodopsin, a dim-light photoreceptor, in chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) and the relationship between light wavelengths on the photoresponse, the rod opsin gene was cloned into an expression vector, pMT4. Recombinant opsin was transiently expressed in COS-1 cells and reconstituted with 11-cis-retinal. Cells containing the regenerated rhodopsin were solubilized and subjected to UV/Vis spectroscopic analysis in the dark and upon illumination. Difference spectra from t… Show more

“…The physiological mechanisms by which aquatic organisms adapt to the light cycle and to changes in light quality can be investigated via simulation of light characteristics of the natural environment by artificial regulation. Results of such studies can be used to promote the growth, development, reproduction and migration activities of aquatic organisms (Luchiari, Freire, Pirhonen & Koskela 2009;Gao, Zhang, Li, Shi, Song & Liu 2016;Jang, Choi, Yang, Lee, Yu & Kim 2016).…”

“…Underwater acoustic cameras and vision-based tracking systems have been employed to monitor such fish movements in the aquatic environment (Kane et al, 2005;Kuklina et al, 2012;Niu et al, 2018). Although the former method is more suitable for analyzing behavior in large-scale experiments (Jang et al, 2016), video tracking is more convenient for detecting chemical cues that elicit a behavioral response in a smaller model system.…”
