Distribution in fish

The lipid content of fish also indicates whether the fisherman should use lights to attract the fish (Gusar and Getmantsev, 1985), since this method of capture works only on fish with low reserves. It has in addition been used to predict migration time, routes, behaviour and distribution in fish from northern seas and deep-water oceanic areas, but the forecasts have been sporadic regular annual monitoring has been more common in fish from southern seas and those of the Far East.

L-Ascorbic acid, better known as vitamin C, has the simplest chemical structure of all the vitamins (Figure 18.30). It is widely distributed in the animal and plant kingdoms, and only a few vertebrates—humans and other primates, guinea pigs, fruit-eating bats, certain birds, and some fish (rainbow trout, carp, and Coho salmon, for example)—are unable to synthesize it. In all these organisms, the inability to synthesize ascorbic acid stems from a lack of a liver enzyme, L-gulono-y-lactone oxidase. 

Distribution. The first indication of the occurrence of palytoxin in fish was presented in 1969 (16). The filefish Altera scripta belonging to family Monacathidae was traditionally known in Okinawa, Japan, to contain a toxic substance in the gut and, thus, to kill pigs when fed to them. The presence of fragments of Palythoa sp. in the guts and the resemblance in solubility between the fish toxin and palytoxin led the authors to a conclusion that the toxic principle in the filefish viscera was palytoxin. Incidence of human intoxication due to eating the filefish was not confirm. ... 

Cytochrome P450-type monooxygenase systems, which have a generally low substrate specificity, are widely distributed in the species of fish used for toxicity testing (Funari et al. 1987).

Northern pike (Esox lucius), an esocidae species, is considered one of the most widely distributed freshwater fish [57]. It is a piscivorous species, consisting its diet on common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and roach Rutilus rutilus). Nevertheless, in the absence of prey fish, invertebrate feeding could be important for this species [58, 59]. 

Assessment of the geographical distribution of pollution in the river using fish samples is more difficult than in the case of SEs, probably because of their mobility, which in some cases can lead to confusing results. PCI identified in fish samples defines a contrast between two inversely correlated contamination profiles. Positive...
