Shark fish oil prevents scopolamine-induced memory impairment in an experimental model.

Fish oil has been known for its antioxidant, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective characteristics due to the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are essential for optimal brain function and mental health. The present study investigated the effect of Carcharhinus Bleekeri (Shark Fish) oil on learning and memory functions in scopolamine-induced amnesia in rats. Locomotor and memory-enhancing activity in scopolamine-induced amnesic rats was investigated by assessing the open field and passive avoidance paradigm. Forty male Albino mice were divided into 4 equal groups (n = 10) as bellow: 1 - control (received 0.9% saline), 2 - SCOP (received scopolamine 2mg/kg for 21days), 3 - SCOP + SFO (received scopolamine and fish oil 5mg/kg/ day for 21days), 4 - SCOP + Donepezil groups (received 3mg/kg/day for 21days). SFO produced significant (P < 0.01) locomotor and memory-enhancing activities in open-field and passive avoidance paradigm models. Additionally, SFO restored the Acetylcholine (ACh) concentration in the hippocampus (p < 0.05) and remarkably prevented the degradation of monoamines. Histology of brain tissue showed marked cellular distortion in the scopolamine-treated group, while the SFO treatment restored distortion in the brain's hippocampus region. These results suggest that the SFO significantly ameliorates scopolamine-induced spatial memory impairment by attenuating the ACh and monoamine concentrations in the rat's hippocampus.

Fatty Acid Positions in Triacylglycerol of Iridescent Shark Fish Oil (Pangasius sp.), Focusing on Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids.

&lt;b&gt;Background and Objective:&lt;/b&gt; Considering the many health benefits of fish oil, the potential of Indonesian fisheries needs to be mapped to find local fish oil sources that have the opportunity to be used as a source of omega-3 and 6. This research aimed to ascertain the glyceride profile of iridescent shark fish oil hydrolyzed by immobilized lipase from &lt;i&gt;Thermomyces lanuginosus&lt;/i&gt; at the sn-1,3 position and identify the position of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. &lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/b&gt; To extract the fish oil from the iridescent shark, the soxhletation method was utilized. The analysis of the fatty acid composition that was carried out using gas chromatography (GC) was previously esterified with BF&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; before it was carried out to position the fatty acid hydrolysis that was carried out using lipase enzymes to position the fatty acid composition. &lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; The sample had more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated ones. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are more concentrated in the fat molecule's sn-2 position than in the sn-1+sn-3 location. Iridescent shark fish oil meets the recommended ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 (1:1) or better (2:1). &lt;b&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/b&gt; It has been discovered that iridescent shark fish oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, especially those in the sn-2 position. This makes it a great food choice for those trying to get more omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids into their diets.

Antioxidant Activity and Chemical Characteristics of Shark Fish Meatball With Various Adding Green Mustard Pure and Tapioca Flour

Meatball is a very popular foodstuff and many people most like it. One type of meatball that many develop nowadays is fish meatball. In this research, the production of meatballs used surimi ozonated shark as basic material. The purpose of this research was known the effect of green mustard and tapioca flour with various concentrations on antioxidant activity and chemical characteristics of fish meatball from ozonated shark surimi.

Moreover, fat content from shark meatballs has not fulfilled the standard quality with a value was 1.43%-1.69%.

Sharks in Sangam Literary Fishermen's Lives and Contemporary Fishermen's Lives

The Sangam literature consists of texts that explain the internal lives of peoples from five ancient Tamil land divisions. In this anthology, Neythal explains the life of the sea and the fishermen who are dependent on the sea and also describes the sea creatures of marine life. Records of fishes are also found among these species. 18 types of fish are found in this way. Similarly, the writer conducted a field survey of fishermen living in Pamban village in Rameswaram circle, Ramanathapuram district, and found 204 types of fish. The five types of fish found in Sangam literature are lobster fish, codfish, shark fish, swordfish, and sawshark fish, and they are found in the lives of modern fishermen. The main occupation of fishermen is fishing. These fishing methods were documented in Sangam literature by poets of the time. Sharks mentioned in Sangam literature are also found among fishermen living in four places: Pondicherry, Cuddalore District, Mandapam, and Pampan (Ramanathapuram District). Here, the names of these sharks, their types, their habitats, characteristics of sharks, hunting of sharks, food of sharks, breeding patterns, worship of sharks, and other uses of sharks have been investigated.

A comparative assessment of collagen type 1 from silver carp (fresh water) and milk shark(marine) fish waste.

In this study, a comparative structural and bioactive analysis of collagen extracted from the skin of bony and cartilaginous fishes. The acid-soluble method was followed to extract the collagen from Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (silver carp) andRhizoprionodon acutus (milk shark) followed by purification using Ion exchange chromatography. A higher yield of collagen was obtained from the skin of SCsk (69.45%) as compared to SHsk (55.29%). SDS PAGE displayed the characteristic α, β bands of the collagen type1. The native conformation and secondary structure stability of collagen were confirmed by FTIR, XRD and CD studies. The SEM micrographs exhibited the layered and fibrillar nature of the collagen from SHsk and SCsk, respectively. Relative solubility and thermal denaturation analysis showed SCsk to be more stable, but SHsk could withstand higher temperatures. 53.65% of antioxidant activity was observed in SCsk collagen as compared to SHsk (45.9%). Haemocompatibility, cell viability and adhesion results also displayed silvercarp skin to be a better source than Shark skin collagen. The results establish the potential of silver carp collagen as a biomaterial that can have many commercial applications in tissue engineering, cosmetics and food industries.

Mineralogy, geochemistry and origin of the phosphorites at Um El-Huwtat mine, Quseir, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt

X-Ray diffraction results for the study mine are mainly represented by two phases (phosphatic and non-phosphatic). First phase is represented by apatite (fluorapatite) which is the dominant. The second phase includes carbonate minerals; calcite, dolomite, evaporated mineral (gypsum), sulphide mineral (pyrite), in addition to quartz as a silicate mineral. These results are confirmed by the petrographic study. The detailed microscopic examinations indicate that the phosphorites at the study mine is essentially composed of phosphatic lithoclasts (mainly collophane), phosphatic bioclasts (bone fragments, spines and teeth of vertebrates such as shark fish as well as coprolites), opaques, and quartz embedded in a microcrystalline phosphatic matrix (contains some of dahllite) associated with a microcrystalline quartz according to their decreasing order of abundance. The paragenetic sequence of the studied phosphorites is as follows: fluorapatite, collophane then followed by dahllite. The redox-sensitive trace elements, its ratios, authigenic uranium as well as Fe/Ti can be signifying the redox conditions. Also, they revealed that the study rocks are deposited under the oxic to anoxic environment coupled with hydrothermal solution. The trace and rare earth elements are generally associated with phosphatic rocks. Thus, the phosphatic rocks of Um El-Huwtat mine, Quseir can be considered as sources of trace and rare earth elements. Also, pyrite can be considered as another possible source for REEs. The studied phosphatic rocks characterized by light REE (LREE = 69 ppm) enrichment than heavy REE (HREE = 25 ppm). All the recoded values of the heavy metals for the study mine are higher than those in Tunisia (400.3 ppm), Morocco (571.75 ppm) and Jordan (187 ppm). The post-depositional conditions are responsible for the enrichment of U and Th and/or intensive chemical weathering in Quseir area. Enrichment Factor (EF) indicated that the enrichment or deletion of the elements may be a function of that association and the origins of the various phosphate fractions. The studied phosphatic rocks are suitable for industrialized fertilizers according to the world guides.

Fish Gelatin Hydrolysates as Antioxidant, Antihypertensive, and Antidiabetic: The Plausible Mechanisms

Gelatin produced from fish processing by-product is the most potential alternative source of gelatin. They have biological activities, particularly antioxidant, antihypertensive, and reduce type 2 diabetic risk. This paper reviews the mechanisms of fish gelatin hydrolysates for those human diseases being discussed in recent studies. Based on the review, mostly, skin and bone are used as sources of fish-based gelatin in which about thirty percent comes from the weight of total fish. Some species have been analysed based on their bioactivities, including Tuna, Nile tilapia, Amur sturgeon, Pangasius catfish, Cod, Blacktip shark, Salmon, Halibut, and Tilapia fish. In short, the antioxidant mechanism of this fish-based gelatin is by scavenging and neutralizing the radicals. The antihypertensive mechanism is by inhibition of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) activity. Whilst the mechanism to reduce type 2 diabetes is by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) action.

Conservation status of shark fish in the Aceh province coastal area

Shark fishing activities in Aceh Province take place in the Straits of Malacca and the Indian Ocean. Knowledge and understanding of fisher in the coastal areas of Aceh Province regarding shark protection and conservation regulations are still very limited so that the exploitation of sharks has increased. Observations were made in five coastal areas of Aceh Province. The sample in this study is the shark fish fished of fishermen. This study aims to determine the percentage of conservation status based on IUCN and CITES of sharks fish fished by the fishermen in the coastal region of Aceh Province. Data was collected in April-May 2019 using the survey method. Descriptive analysis results showbased on IUCN one species (10%) in the least concern category (LC), five species (50%) in the category of near threatened (NT), two species (20%) in the vulnerable category (VU), one species (10%) in the endangered category (EN), while one species (10%) in the critically endangered category (CR) and based on CITES two species (20%) in category nonendangered species, but if the trade continues without regulations, with extinction, it will be threatened (the Appendix II CITES). From these results, it can be concluded that the sharks caught in the coastal area of Aceh Province as a whole are in the IUCN red list category.

DNA-barcoding as molecular marker for seafood forensics: Species identification of locally consumed shark fish products in the world’s largest shark fishery

Indonesia is the heart of the Coral Triangle–the global epicenter for marine biodiversity, and home to many endemic, threatened and protected species. There is a need for rapid, low-cost methods to better identify and tackle seafood fraud in Indonesia because Indonesia is also the world’s largest shark fishing nation. Levels of domestic consumption of sharks and their relatives are thought to be significant, with different drivers of consumption across different products and geographies, including active and passive consumption, where passive consumers being unaware of the species origin of their seafoods. This study applies a COI DNA barcoding method to identify seafood products sold in local markets, with the aim of better understanding of the species composition about non-fin shark products in the domestic trade, and assessing the reliability of the COI method for seafood forensics. The results showed that all sampled seafood products were successfully identified to the species level, with an accuracy of 97-100%. Samples varied from different products including satay, salted meat, and meat curry, which are mostly sold in traditional markets. The magnitude, distribution and drivers of domestic consumption of shark product need to be understood in order to guide the design of future conservation.

A Comparison Study Between External Parasites that Infect Scarus Fish (Osteichthyes) and Carcharhinus melanopterus Fish (Chondrichthyes) in Red Sea Coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

The type of hosts that parasites choose is an interesting topic of study. The harmful diseases that infect marine animals are mostly known to be parasitic, such as monogeneans, Copepods and Isopods infections. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the parasitic infections of shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) and of Scarus fish in the Red Sea located in Jeddah City of Saudi Arabia. For this purpose, 33 Carcharhinus melanopterus and 30 Scarus fish were examined for ectoparasites using wet mount under a light microscope. Collected parasites were identified as, monogenea (Dactylogyrus sp and Erpocotyle tiburonis), Copepoda (Pandarus sinuatus, Anchistrotos tangi and Hatschekia sp) and Isopoda (praniza larva of Gnathia sp). The second purpose of this study was to compare the percentage between Scarus (Osteichthyes) and shark fish (Chondrichthyes) in terms of parasitic infection. Our findings revealed that Monogenea and Copepod infections were found on gills of sharks while Scarus fish were infected by Copepod and Isopod parasites. Parasitic infections can be caused by a number of factors ; it might include the biological and ecological characteristics of the parasite and the host it infests.

Numerical studies influence configuration fairing flap track airfoil type naca 4412 and naca 6412 character unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)

Wings have a function of changing the air flowing into force lift, and drag. It can reduce the drag is fairing flap track, where its function can reduce the obstacles caused by the effects of compressibility, fairing flap track also has a major influence on reducing the coefficient drag on airfoil. In this study, we observed the addition of fairing flap track to airfoil, fairing inspired by Sailfish and Blue Shark fish, its fins known to have speeds of 60 km/h. The independent variable in this research is compare airfoil NACA 4412 and NACA 6412, while the dependent variable is influence of fairing flap track configuration on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) character by knowing coefficient lift, coefficient drag and lift to drag ratio using software computational fluid dynamic (CFD). Simulation results know that the coefficient drag airfoil NACA 4412 decreased 0.3%, coefficient lift decreased 0.5% and coefficient drag airfoil NACA 6412 also decreased 0.4%, coefficient lift decreased 0.7%. It can be concluded that the addition of fairing on airfoil is very influential in reducing the value of coefficient drag and improve the coefficient lift on airfoil.

Uranium (238U)-induced ROS and cell cycle perturbations, antioxidant responses and erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities in the freshwater iridescent shark fish Pangasius sutchi

The strategic plan of this study is to analyze any possible radiological impact on aquatic organisms from forthcoming uranium mining facilities around the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam in the future. The predominantly consumed and dominant fish species Pangasius sutchi, which is available year-round at Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, was selected for the study. To comprehend the outcome and to understand the mode of action of 238U, the fish species Pangasius sutchi was exposed to ¼ and ½ of the LC50 doses of waterborne 238U in a static system in duplicate for 21 days. Blood and organs, including the gills, liver, brain and muscles, were collected at different time periods—0h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h, 7, days 14days and 21 days—using ICP-MS to determine the toxic effects of uranium and the accumulation of 238U concentrations. The bioaccumulation of 238U in P. sutchi tissues was dependent on exposure time and concentration.The accumulation of uranium was, in order of magnitude, measured as gills>liver>brain>tissue, with the highest accumulation in the gills. It was observed that exposure to 238U significantly reduced antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and lipid peroxidase. The analysis of DNA fragmentation by comet assay and cell viability by flow cytometry was performed at different time intervals. DNA histograms by flow cytometry analysis revealed an increase in the G2/M phase and the S phase. The long-term 238U exposure studies in fish showed increasing micronucleus frequencies in erythrocytes with greater exposure time. The higher the concentration of 238U is, the greater is the effect observed, suggesting a close relationship between accumulation and toxicity. A possible ROS-mediated 238U toxicity mechanism and antioxidant responses have been proposed.

Pengaruh perbedaan jumlah penambahan binder uretan dan berbagai motif embossing terhadap kualitas kulit reject

Rejected tanned leather is tanned lether product with damages of more than 30% of its total surface area, but can be improved by embossing. Embossing is the provision of patterns that influences the properties of articles and contributes to the closure of the defects on the surface of leather. This study aims to determine the influence of urethane binder and embossing motives to the quality of rejected leather for shoe upper applications. Variables investigated were urethane binder composition (100, 150, and 200 part in 1000 part of base coat) and embossing motives (crocodile, ostrich, shark fish, and milled motive). The quality of the leather was then tested in terms of organoleptic properties (feel, flexibility, visual appearance), mechanical properties (tear strength, tensile strength, elongation at break, rub fastness (dry, wet), adhesive strength of cover paint (dry, wet), and flexing resistance), physical properties (WVP and WVA), as well as morphology (SEM). The results showed that the addition of urethane binder and embossing patterns affect the quality of shoe upper leather, i.e. in general covering the leather defects and increasing the visual appearance (organoleptic properties), and changing the collagen network structure (based on SEM test). Visually preferred skin is skin with the addition of 200 parts of the urethane binder and crocodile patterned leather.

Hydrodynamic study of freely swimming shark fish propulsion for marine vehicles using 2D particle image velocimetry.

Two-dimensional velocity fields around a freely swimming freshwater black shark fish in longitudinal (XZ) plane and transverse (YZ) plane are measured using digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV). By transferring momentum to the fluid, fishes generate thrust. Thrust is generated not only by its caudal fin, but also using pectoral and anal fins, the contribution of which depends on the fish’s morphology and swimming movements. These fins also act as roll and pitch stabilizers for the swimming fish. In this paper, studies are performed on the flow induced by fins of freely swimming undulatory carangiform swimming fish (freshwater black shark, L = 26 cm) by an experimental hydrodynamic approach based on quantitative flow visualization technique. We used 2D PIV to visualize water flow pattern in the wake of the caudal, pectoral and anal fins of swimming fish at a speed of 0.5–1.5 times of body length per second. The kinematic analysis and pressure distribution of carangiform fish are presented here. The fish body and fin undulations create circular flow patterns (vortices) that travel along with the body waves and change the flow around its tail to increase the swimming efficiency. The wake of different fins of the swimming fish consists of two counter-rotating vortices about the mean path of fish motion. These wakes resemble like reverse von Karman vortex street which is nothing but a thrust-producing wake. The velocity vectors around a C-start (a straight swimming fish bends into C-shape) maneuvering fish are also discussed in this paper. Studying flows around flapping fins will contribute to design of bioinspired propulsors for marine vehicles.

A COMPARISION OF VARIOUS EDGE DETECTION TECHNIQUES IN MOTION PICTURE FOR IDENTIFYING A SHARK FISH

The significant feature of detecting the motion image objects in this study it try identify the shark fish videos by removing the Background of the image. The main method involved in the detecting from the background is the foreground detection of the image. There are many techniques which usually ignore the fact that the background images consist of different image objects whose conditions may mostly change occur. In this study, a motion picture identification procedure is proposed for real time motion video frames by comparing the three key classes of methods for motion detection primarily the Background Removal (Subtraction) followed by the Temporal distinguishing (differencing) and Optical Flow method. Structured hierarchical background procedure is proposed based on segmenting background images objects. It mainly divided the background images divided into several parts (regions) by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) followed by a structured hierarchical model is built with the region procedure and pixel model procedure. In the region model method, the image object is extracted from the histogram of specific parts which is same to the kind of a Gaussian-combination model. In the pixel model procedure, it is been demonstrated by histograms, picture, which shows gradients sample of pixels in each parts based on the concurrent occurrence of object variations. In this study, it suggests Silhouette detection procedure and it is used. The experimental result are counter validated with a video database to illustrate its efficiencies, which is involved, from static to dynamic scenes by analyzing it with some distinguished motion detection methods chiefly Temporal differencing method followed by Optical Flow method and based on the outputs a motion detection procedure for real time video frames can be created which is cost effective, it shows good rate of accuracy, which is less rate of reliability in simple, less of complexity and well adapted to several kinds of shadow (image) distribution.

Walker-256 tumor growth is inhibited by the independent or associative chronic ingestion of shark liver and fish oil: a response linked by the increment of peritoneal macrophages nitrite production in Wistar rats

Fish oil (FO) is widely known by its capacity to positively modulate immune parameters and decrease the growth of some tumors. Despite the enormous number of studies addressing the effects of FO, there are few reports showing similar results using other marine sources of lipid compounds with biologic importance. This study aimed to compare the effects of shark liver oil (SLO), which is a source of omega-3 fatty acids and alkylglycerols, with those obtained with FO administration, or the association of both, on tumor growth and the innate immune system in Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats. Beginning at 21 days of age, Wistar rats were fed regular chow and/or FO and/or SLO supplement (1 g/kg body weight per day) for 14 weeks. Walker-256 tumor cells were inoculated on the 90th day. As expected, 14 days after inoculation, rats fed with FO presented tumor weights that were 50% lower than the control tumors (P < .05). The association of both FO and SLO and ingestion of SLO alone also reached the same reduction level. Except for adhesion, all macrophage parameters assayed were 200% higher in rats fed with FO and those supplemented with both FO and SLO compared with control rats. Only reactive nitrogen species production was increased by SLO. These results suggest that SLO might also have indirect antitumor properties. Conversely, there were no additive effects when SLO was administered with FO. Therefore, SLO is another marine compound with in vivo antitumor effects, but its action mechanisms seem not to be related to major modifications on macrophage function.

Mycotoxigenic and proteolytic potential of moulds associated with smoked shark fish (&lt;i&gt;Chlamydoselachus anguincus&lt;/i&gt;)

Among the 33 moulds isolated from 20 samples of wood-smoked Chlamydoselachus anguincus (shark-fish) 20 isolates were capable of producing metabolites toxic to fertile Hubbard Golden Comet (Niger chick) eggs. Aspergillus and Pencillium isolates were the predominant moulds. Other toxigenic moulds isolated were Eurotium, Fusarium and Cladosporium species. The protease producing potential of the isolates varied among the genera and between isolates of the same species. The existence and growth of these moulds on smoked fish is a pointer to the potential health risk associated with the consumption of mouldy dry fish.
