Effect Of Glazing And Storage Time On Lipid Oxidation Of Frozen Chub Mackerel (Scomberjaponicus), Ayla Soyer, M. Eki̇n Şahi̇n Jan 1999

Effect Of Glazing And Storage Time On Lipid Oxidation Of Frozen Chub Mackerel (Scomberjaponicus), Ayla Soyer, M. Eki̇n Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effect of glazing with the solutions contained ascorbic acid (AA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), BHT/BHA combination and only water, and storage time on lipid oxidation of chub mackerel were determined during frozen storage at -18°C for 10 months. Glazing with some antioxidants or water of the fish retarded lipid oxidation when compared to control samples during frozen storage. The results of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), peroxide value (PV) and free fatty acids (FFA) as lipid oxidation parameters increased slowly in all the samples glazed with antioxidants as a function of time but they retarded lipid oxidation …


Histopathological Examination Of Gill, Liver And Kidney Tissues Of Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) Fish In The Upper Sakarya River Basin, Nurhayat Barlas Jan 1999

Histopathological Examination Of Gill, Liver And Kidney Tissues Of Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) Fish In The Upper Sakarya River Basin, Nurhayat Barlas

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, 80 carp specimens (Cyprinus carpio) (16 fish from each station) of ages between 1-2 were caught at five stations in the upper Sakarya river basin the four seasons between October 1995 and October 1996. The structural changes of gill, liver and spleen tissue of the carp were examined. The gills of fishes which live in aquatic habitat exhibit tissue lesions caused by water pollutants, because they are in direct contact with their environment. In the results of this study, it was found at secondary lamellae fused together, and the gills are the most affected organs. Other histopathological …


A Review On The Control Of Eutrophication In Deep And Shallow Lakes, Meryem Bekli̇oğlu Jan 1999

A Review On The Control Of Eutrophication In Deep And Shallow Lakes, Meryem Bekli̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Zoology

There has been a much debate about the relative importance of the determination of phytoplankton crops by nutrients (bottom-up control) or by zooplankton grazing (top-down control). Wide acceptance of the importance of nutrient concentrations in water quality deterioration has brought about external nutrient control by which eutrophication is, to some extent, reversible, and which has been proved its effectiveness mostly in deep lakes. In shallow lakes its effectiveness has not been as pronounced, owing to internal nutrient loading. Because the non-linearity of responses of biological systems is much more accentuated in small and shallow lakes. The use of profound effects …


A Taxonomic Study On The Fish In The Basin Of Büyükçekmece Dam Lake, Müfi̇t Özuluğ Jan 1999

A Taxonomic Study On The Fish In The Basin Of Büyükçekmece Dam Lake, Müfi̇t Özuluğ

Turkish Journal of Zoology

This study was carried out to determine the fish fauna of the basin of Büyükçekmece Dam Lake and to study the taxonomic characteristics of the fish present. As a result of examined the 586 specimens collected between April 1995 and September 1997, it was revealed that 23 fish species, including 4 subspecies, belonging to 10 families, were found in the basin of Büyükçekmece Dam Lake. This paper gives the diagnostic characteristics of these fish.


Accumulaton Of Metal And Metal Mixture In The Spleen, Brain And Muscle Tissues Of Tilapia Nilotica, Murat Karakoç, Feri̇t Kargin Jan 1999

Accumulaton Of Metal And Metal Mixture In The Spleen, Brain And Muscle Tissues Of Tilapia Nilotica, Murat Karakoç, Feri̇t Kargin

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Accumulation of zinc and copper in the spleen, brain and muscle tisses of Tilapia nilotica was investigated by using copper (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm) and zinc (1.0, 5.0 and 10.0 ppm) and copper-zinc mixture (0.1+1.0, 0.5+5.0 and 1.0+10.0 ppm) in the medium for the periods of 30 and 60 days. No mortality was observed during the exposure to of copper, zinc and copper-zinc mixtures over 60 days In both cases (alone and mixture) the highest levels of zinc and copper were accumulated in the spleen, whereas accumulation was the lowest in the brain. Accumulation of a metal in the …


The Functional Expression Of Drying On Dried Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss W., 1792) By Using Different Temperature And Salt Concentration, Aydin Yapar, Muammer Erdöl Jan 1999

The Functional Expression Of Drying On Dried Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss W., 1792) By Using Different Temperature And Salt Concentration, Aydin Yapar, Muammer Erdöl

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, drying functions depend on temperature- time on dried trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W.,1792) fillets by using four different temperatures and three different salt concentrations were investigated. 25% moisture for drying were accepted . For drying process was used a mechanical dryer. According to the results, drying times were 35 h. on unsalted group , 73 h. on 5% salt group and 105 h. on 10% salt group at 35 ºC; 28 h. on unsalted group, 41 h. on 5% salt group, 41 h. on 10% salt group at 45 ºC ; 14 h. on unsalted group , 18 …


Effects Of Salinity On The Accumulation Of Copper In Liver, Gill And Muscle Tissues Of Tilapia Nilotica, Murat Karakoç Jan 1999

Effects Of Salinity On The Accumulation Of Copper In Liver, Gill And Muscle Tissues Of Tilapia Nilotica, Murat Karakoç

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In this study, effects of 5‰, 10‰, 15‰ and 20‰ NaCl concentrations on the accumulation of copper in liver, gill and muscle tissues of Tilapia niloticawere studied over experimental periods of 1, 7, 15 and 30 days at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 ppm copper in the medium. The highest levels of copper were found in the liver and the lowest values in the muscle tissue in a given NaCl and metal concentration. Accumulation of copper in the liver tissue, however, increased with increasing copper concentrations in the medium in all salt concentrations. The increase of the NaCl concentration …
