    Triploid Induction of Green Tiger Shrimp, Penaeus Semisulcatus (de Haan, 1844) Using Temperature and Chemical Shock
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Kır, Mehmet; Tarhan, Gökhan; Okur, Özgür
    Triploidy in fertilized eggs of Penaeus semisulcatus was induced by temperature and chemical shocks. The eggs, which were obtained from the shrimp broodstock maintained at 29C, were exposed to cold temperature (8, 10, 12, and 14 C) and 6-dimetiloaminopurine (6-DMAP) concentrations (100, 150, 200, and 250 μM) for different durations (4, 6, and 8min) 9min after spawning was detected. While the highest triploidy rate of 49.7±4.5% was obtained with a 200μM 6-DMAP concentration for a duration of 8min, the best mean triploidy rate of 45.5±2.8% for cold shock was obtained at a temperature of 10 C for a duration of 8min. Temperature and 6-DMAP concentration did not have significant effect on triploidy rate (P>0.05) but shock duration had significant effect on triploidy rate for individual cold temperature shock or 6-DMAP chemical shock (P<0.05). Although longer durations of shock agent increased the rates of triploid induction, they generally had an adverse effect on hatching rates in the study.

    Induction of Triploidy in Melicertus Kerathurus (forskal, 1775) With Temperature Shock
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Kır, Mehmet; Şahan, Ali Kemal; Okur, Özgür
    Triploidy in fertilized eggs of Melicertus kerathurus was induced by cold (8, 10, 12°C) and heat (34, 36, 38°C) shock for different duration times (2, 4 and 8 min) after 10 min of post spawning. The best individual treatment produced 64.5% triploid nauplii in cold shock application at a temperature of 10°C for a duration of 8 min. Temperature did not have significant effect (P > 0.05) on triploid rate but duration time had a significant effect (P < 0.05) for individual cold or heat shock. This study demonstrates that because of a wide variety of effective parameters, it is essential to optimize shock conditions for each species strain at each location. © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

    Effects of Different Lipopolysaccharide Preparations on Neutrophil Function in the Fathead Minnow, Pimephales Promelas Rafinesque
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2011) Jovanovic, B.; Baran, Ezgi; Goetz, F. W.; Palic, D.
    The fish innate immune response to pathogensrelies on the adequate function of neu trophilicgranulocytes (Palic´, Andreasen, Herolt, Menzel &Roth 2006). The ability of neutrophils to phago-cytose microor ganisms and cellular debris is essen-tial for normal development an d survival of animalpopulations (Segal 2005). The evaluation of neu-trophil function is valuable for assessing the healthstatus of individuals and fish populations (Smith &Lumsden 1983). Resistance of fishes to septic shockand tolerance to high concentrations of lipopoly-saccharide (LPS) was observed as a major differencebetween mammalian and fish innate immuneresponses (Berczi, Bertok & Bereznai 1966). Thisfunctional difference could be attri buted to severalcostimulatory molecules and intracellular mediatorsbeing absent in fish, but active in mammals duringresponse to LPS stimulation (Iliev, Roach, Mac-kenzie, Planas & Goetz 2005). Most fish do notpossess a Toll-like receptor (TLR) with sequencesimilarity to mammalian TLR4 (Leulier & Lemai-tre 2008) and the ones that do have no ability forTLR4 downstream signalling (Sepulcre, Alcaraz-Perez, Lopez-Munoz, Roca, Meseguer, Cayuela &Mulero 2009). Regardless of the absence andfunctionality of TLR4 and costimulatory molecules,bacterial LPS can induce a robus t inflammatorygene response in innate immune fish cells, but atconcentrations 1000-fold higher than is commonlyobserved in mammalian species ( lgmL)1vs.ng mL)1) (Palic´, Ostojic, Andreasen & Roth2007; Mackenzie, Roher, Boltan˜a & Goetz 2010).In contrast, ultrapure LPS preparations are rela-tively inactive in fish (Iliev et al. 2005).
