In the present study, the crosslinking profile of myosin heavy chains of the same kamaboko gel was investigated. The results were as follows: (1) The addition of the additive containing transglutaminase remarkably accelerated the cross-linking reaction of myosin heavy chains in the salt-ground meat, accumulating cross-linked products with larger molecular sizes. (2) When such cross-linked products were accumulated in a large quantity, the breaking strength increased at a much higher rate than the increase in breaking strain of the same kamaboko gel.Considering the rate of progressing of the cross-linking reaction between myosin heavy chains in the gel, the quality of the kamaboko thus formed was shown to be clearly different from that of the ordinary product.","PeriodicalId":9361,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries","volume":"94 1","pages":"659-668"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91201363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the nighttime, however, there was no difference in horizontal distribution between the test and the control tanks. Fish in the test tank tended to distribute at shallower depths than those in the control tank during the daytime, while both fish distributed at the surface during almost all of the nighttime. When the light intensity was increased by more than 10, 000 lx in an outdoor 60m3 tank with a 90×180cm plywood board at the surface, 21 striped jack of 24cm TL distributed in the shade of the plywood board, while they went out of the shade and swam around the tank when the decrease in light intensity exceeded 10, 000 lx. These data suggested that the shade might attract the striped jack and trigger the association behavior. It was also suggested that in marine ranching of the striped jack in coastal waters the feeding station should provide fish with shade to enhance their association behavior and to keep fish at a fixed area in the sea.","PeriodicalId":9361,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries","volume":"21 1","pages":"865-871"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90853775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Black rockfish could hear a sound in the frequency range from 100Hz to 1000Hz, with greatest sensitivity of 90.7dB at 200Hz. The threshold at 500Hz was higher than others.

The LC50 values of Cu and Cr(VI) in the artificial seawaters were about half of those obtained in natural seawater. On the other hand, no significant change was observed for LC50 of Hg, PCP-Na and PNP. EDTA included in the artificial seawater reduced the acutetoxicity of Cu.

The system consists of an ultrasonic pinger, four hydrophones, a four channel receiver, an 8-bit single board computer with ADC, a personal computer, an electronic magnetic compass and a DGPS receiving system. In this system, the bearings of the pinger are calculated using the short base line by measuring the receiving time differences of a pulse between channels. The distance from the hydrophone to the pinger is calculated by using an original method, in which the receiver and the pinger are syn-chronised to measure the interval between received pulses. A Synchronising drift error which accumulates with time is corrected by using the distance calculated from the transmission loss. This method gives a more accurate measurement of distance. Using this system, we successfully tracked three striped jack Caranx delicatissimus for five days.","PeriodicalId":9361,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74620860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
