The identification of grey mullet species by disc electrophoresis

Sublethal Effects of Copper Sulfate, Malathion and Paraquat on Protein Pattern of Oreochromis Niloticus

“…Protein fractionation was done using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) (Herzberg & Pasteur, 1975). The gels were stained in Comassie Brilliant Blue and the excess dye was washed using destaining solution (methanol & acetic acid).…”

The identification of the British grey mullets

“…Gel-electrophoresis has already been applied to the problem of mullet identification: polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis on myogen (water-soluble sarcoplasmic protein) was used to identify the six species of mullets which occur along the Mediterranean shore of Israel. The work was of commercial importance in that the technique is now used by Israeli mullet breeders to ensure that the pools are stocked with the desired mullet species (Herzberg & Pasteur, 1975).…”

“…The present simplification of the identification of grey mullets could have practical application should these fishes be developed commercially (in Britain) as they are in Israel (Yashouv, 1972;Herzberg & Pasteur, 1975;Pruginin et al, 1975), Australia, the Caspian Sea, India, China, France (Thomson, 1966) and Nigeria (Sivalingam, 1975). Inspection of the Sea Fisheries Statistics Tables 1923-79 shows that landings of British grey mullet have increased fivefold over the last 60 years (from 200 cwt to over 1000 cwt).…”

Identification of larvae of snapperChrysophrys auratusforster by electrophoretic separation of tissue enzymes (note)

“…Electrophoretic techniques have been applied in the identification of larval and juvenile teleosts (Herzberg & Pasteur 1975, Morgan 1975. The aim of this investigation was to compare the electrophoretic patterns of specific enzymes from suspected snapper larvae with those of adult snapper.…”
