Dolphin fish

Examples of amines that frequently occur in fish muscle include cadaverine from lysine, putrescine from ornithine and histamine from histidine. Histamine, because of its involvement in Scombroid food poisoning (histamine intoxication), has been extensively studied with respect to factors influencing its formation in many different fish species. Tuna and other fish from the families Scomberesocidae and Scombridae and a non-scombroid fish, mahi-mahi (dolphin fish) have been most... 

Histamine is produced by bacteria that decarboxylate histidine (jL-, ID, 14-17), an amino acid that is abundant in the muscle of scombroid fish and other marine fish such as mahimahi, the dolphin-fish ( 7, 18-25). Histidine decarboxylating bacteria have been isolated from spoiled marine fish (JL, 2, 25-27) and from fish...

Gomez et al. (2007a) indicated that the best sensory scores were achieved for cold-smoked dolphin fish when it was pressurized at 300MPa. Lipid oxidation was prevented by phenolic compounds, which were incorporated in the process of... 

PCB contamination has been observed in the toothed whales iOdontocett) that consume fish, seabird, and other marine mammals. Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus, which feed on deepwater squid, have intermediate loads, whereas the predatory dolphins, which feed closer to the surface, carry higher loads. The highest loads have been observed in killer whales (Orcinus orca ), whose diets consists of salmon and seal. In contrast, the baleen whales (Mysttcett) carry much lower loads as their diet is composed of zooplankton. Even whales living in the middle of the ocean fer from land have detectable levels of PCBs and DDT.

Consumption of fish and shellfish was identified as the significant pathway for potential exposure of dolphins/porpoises to the POPs. Little information existed on the feeding habits of local dolphins/porpoises in Hong Kong waters. Based on the limited data available (Parsons, 1997 Jefferson, 2001), it was assumed that the dolphin diet consisted of 90% fish and 10% shellfish (mainly crustaceans and cephalopods), while the ratio of fish and shellfish in the porpoises diet was 50 50. Dietary exposure to individual POPs was calculated based on the concentration of POPs... 

As a result of such extensive use of agricultural and industrial chemicals and uncontrolled production of wastes the entire Indian environment and biota such as its atmosphere (Ramesh et al., 1989), freshwater sources (Pillai, 1986 Rehana et al., 1996 Babu Rajendran and Subramanian, 1997), estuaries (Bhattacharya et al., 2003), coastal and offshore areas (Sarkar and Sen gupta, 1988a,b Iwata et al., 1993a Sarkar et al., 1997), inland soils (Kawano et al., 1992), fish (Babu Rajendran et al., 1992, 1994 Das et al., 2002), birds (Tanabe et al., 1998a), bats (Senthilkumar et al., 1999b), river dolphins (Kannan et al., 1993, 1994 Senthilkumar et al., 1999a Subramanian et al., 1999), food stuff (Kannan et al., 1992) marine mammals (Tanabe, 2002 Tanabe et al., 1993) and human milk (Tanabe et al., 1990) have been reported to be loaded with multitude of mixtures of POPs. 

As in many developed and some developing nations, Indian wildlife have been widely surveyed for the distribution and toxicology of many of the PTS chemicals. The animals widely surveyed are mussels (Ramesh et al., 1990 Kan-atireklap et al., 1998 Sudaryanto et al., 2002), birds (Ramesh et al., 1992 Sethuraman and Subramanian, 2003 Kunisue et al., 2003a,b Watanabe et al., 2005), bird-eggs and bats (Senthilkumar et al., 2001), fish (Kannan et al., 1995 Das et al., 2002), river dolphins (Kannan... 

The Black Sea sprat (Sprattus sprattus) also refers to mass fish species of the Black Sea basin and occupies an important place in fishery, especially in recent years. This is related to the creation of more perfect hauling instruments and to the decrease in the abundance of predatory fish and dolphins...
