Effects of fish oil on ovarian development in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Animal Reproduction Science, 2013
The effects of different concentrations of dietary fish oil (0, 2%, or 6%) on ovarian development in 2-year-old female Scatophagus argus were investigated. The levels of serum sex steroid hormones (estradiol-17β, E2; testosterone, T), protein phosphorus (SPP), and protein calcium (SPC), as well as vitellogenin (vtg) mRNA expression in livers and ...

Biochemical and Histological Changes in Fish, Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus) Exposed to Diazinon

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2015
Pesticide accumulates in aquatic ecosystems and exerts toxic effects on aquatic animals. In this study, stress parameters and tissue histopathology under acute diazinon exposure were investigated in fish, scat (Scatophagus argus). Spotted scat was exposed to different diazinon concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30 μg L(-1)) for 24, 48, 72, 96 h.

Optimization of stocking density of Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus) in brackishwater nursery

Bangladesh Journal of Fisheries, 2023
Spotted scats (Scatophagus argus) are euryhaline fish of the family scatophagidae inhabiting Indian and western Pacific oceans including Sundarbans estuary of Bangladesh and having good demand as food fish and aquarium. The present study describes the nursery rearing techniques of spotted scats to optimize the stocking densities for better survival ...

Renal Lysosomal Functions on Exposure toScatophagus argusVenom in Experimental Mice

Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods, 2007
ABSTRACT Scatophagus argus venom was extracted by homogenization and centrifugation. The lysosome-enriched fraction of mice kidney was isolated by differential centrifugation. To study the effect of S. argus venom on lysosomal membrane stability, acid phosphatase and cathepsin D, the two marker enzymes for lysosome, were assayed. In the renal lysosomal

Cloning, expression and functional characterization on vitellogenesis of estrogen receptors in Scatophagus argus

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2017
Estrogen receptors (Er) play a critical role in vitellogenesis. Three ers (erα, erβ1 and erβ2) and vitellogenins (vtg-A, vtg-B and vtg-C) subtypes were isolated in various fish species, while the contribution of each Er to the regulation of vtgs expression was not analyzed in detail.

Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of spexin in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2018
Spexin (Spx), a novel neuropeptide, composed of 14 amino acid residues, is evolutionally conserved from fish to mammals. It has been suggested that Spx has pleiotropic functions in mammals. However, reports about Spx are very limited. To clarify the roles of Spx in the regulation of reproduction and food-intake in the spotted scat, the spx (ssspx) gene

Seasonal changes in the milt quality of spotted scat, Scatophagus argus: Implications for artificial propagation

Theriogenology, 2022
The current study investigated the correlation among sperm production (milt volume, spermatocrit and sperm count), sperm motility characters and biochemical composition of seminal plasma during different seasons to estimate the quality of semen in the Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus).

Transcriptomic Response to Sudden Salinity Drop in the Liver of Juvenile Scatophagus argus

Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2022
Background: Scatophagus argus is a euryhaline fish, but the molecular mechanism of salinity plunge response on liver antioxidant system of S. argus is currently poorly understood. Meanwhile, the transcriptome is a powerful tool for studying the effect of stress on physiological mechanisms. Transcriptome analysis of juvenile S.

Gonadal recrudescence and annual reproductive hormone pattern of captive female Spotted Scats (Scatophagus argus)

Animal Reproduction Science, 2020
The Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus), an important euryhaline fish inhabiting mangrove and coastal regions of Indo-Pacific waters, is both an ornamental and food fish in India. Detailed insight into maturation of Spotted Scat when maintained in aquaculture systems, therefore, needs to be elucidated.

Two hepcidins from spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) possess antibacterial and antiviral functions in vitro

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2016
Hepcidins are small cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides that play an important role in host immunity against pathogenic organisms. In this study, two hepcidins, SA-hepcidin1 and SA-hepcidin2, were cloned from spotted scat (Scatophagus argus), and the tissue distributions of SA-hepcidins were determined.
