Novel polymorphic microsatellite loci for the spotted scat Scatophagus argus

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2010
Scatophagus argus is a recreational and commercial fish in East Asia. There is no genetic information about wild populations available so far. A first set of 15 microsatellite loci were developed from the species and characterized. The number of alleles per locus varied from 3 to 12 with the average of 6.6.

First account of a transient intersex in spotted scat, Scatophagus argus: a marine gonochoristic fish

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022
This study presents the first incidence of intersex associated with testis-ova in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) reared in a controlled environment. The testis-ova is associated with the abnormal occurrence of primary oocytes (POs) in some male testis and is referred to as ectopic primary oocytes (Ecto-PO), whiles individuals with Ecto-PO are called "

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 ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the spotted scatScatophagus argus(Perciformes: Scatophagidae)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
The spotted scat, Scatophagus argus (Perciformes, Scatophagidae), is a recreational and commercial fish in China. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. argus was firstly determined. It is 16,783 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region.

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).

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 and 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.

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.

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

Phoenixin participated in regulation of food intake and growth in spotted scat, Scatophagus argus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018
Phoenixin (Pnx) is an endogenous peptide known to be involved in reproduction and food intake in rats, with two active isoforms, phoenixin-14 (Pnx-14) and phoenixin-20 (Pnx-20). However, little is known about the functions of Pnx in teleost. Here, pnx was cloned and was detected in all tissues of both male and female in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus),
