Histological And Histochemical Studies On The Extensor Muscle Of The Pectoral Fin Of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss), Fati̇me Geyi̇koğlu, Abdullah Özkaral
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, taking the extensor muscle out of the pectoral fin of trout, lipid and mitochondria contents of muscle fibres were examined. Succinic dehydrogenase and Sudan black B stain methods were applied on the sections removed by freezing microtomy. Haematoxylen and eosin staining were also applied on the sections obtained from paraffin blocks. It was observed histologically that nuclei of muscle fibre were located just under the sarcolemma. Three types of fibres red, intermediate and white were identified by the applied histochemical methods. It was observed that this muscle was rich in red and intermediate fibres. As a result, …

A Review Of Ecological Features Of Fishes Inhabiting Chatkal Biosphere Reserve In Uzbekistan, Ulughbek T. Mirzaev
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This paper provides brief data on the distribution, morphology, biology and way of life of the fishes inhabiting rivers located in Chatkal Biosphere Reserve. The rivers of this reserve are inhabited by cold-loving fishes adapted to mountain conditions. These fishes are characterized by low fecundity, bigger size of eggs and a slower growth. Most of these fishes are small inhabitants of stony-pebble parts of the rivers and are capable of pressing themselves to the bottom and hiding themselves behind stones.
