What's the difference between barfish and garfish?

Barfish


Definition:

  • (n.) Same as Calico bass.

Example Sentences:

Garfish


Definition:

  • (n.) A European marine fish (Belone vulgaris); -- called also gar, gerrick, greenback, greenbone, gorebill, hornfish, longnose, mackerel guide, sea needle, and sea pike.
  • (n.) One of several species of similar fishes of the genus Tylosurus, of which one species (T. marinus) is common on the Atlantic coast. T. Caribbaeus, a very large species, and T. crassus, are more southern; -- called also needlefish. Many of the common names of the European garfish are also applied to the American species.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) 14C-labelled ouabain was found to bind to the garfish olfactory nerve with an equilibrium dissociation constant of about 0.5 muM.
  • (2) The interaction between the purified [(3)H]tetrodotoxin and membrane suspensions from the olfactory nerve of long-nosed garfish has been investigated by equilibrium dialysis.
  • (3) Assays for acetylcholinesterase in axon plasma membrane fractions isolated from different nerve sources showed a wide variation, ranging from a specific activity of 2.4 for garfish nerve to 312.5 for lobster nerve membrane.
  • (4) The binding of this toxin to rabbit, lobster and garfish olfactory nerve fibres has been re-examined.
  • (5) Tritium labelled saxitoxin has been prepared and purified, and its binding both to intact rabbit vagus nerves and to a solubilized preparation of garfish olfactory nerve membranes has been examined.2.
  • (6) The use of the long garfish olfactory nerve has revealed that neuronal death is not an inevitable consequence of an axonal injury and that the extent of cell death depends on the distance between the site of injury and the perikaryon.
  • (7) Garfish Lepisosteus osseus olfactory nerve, because of its large size and the unusually high concentration of axonal membrane, is an excellent source of axonal membrane.
  • (8) In the garfish olfactory nerve proteins labeled with [3H]leucine are transported by slow axonal flow as a well-defined crest of radioactivity.
  • (9) To this end, tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin, which bind specifically to sodium channels, have been triated and their binding to rabbit, lobster and garfish non-lyelinated nerve fibres examined.
  • (10) The movements of labelled phosphate were measured in garfish olfactory and in rabbit vagus nerves at rest and during activity.
  • (11) Using the garfish olfactory nerve, the time-courses of lateral expansion (swelling) and birefringence changes in nerve fibers have been examined at the site of application of electric current pulses.
  • (12) Comparisons between slow transport in garfish olfactory axons and other vertebrate nerves indicate that despite major differences, the basic characteristics of slow transport are conserved.
  • (13) The role of phospholipids in the binding of [3H]tetrodotoxin to garfish olfactory nerve axon plasma membrane was studied by the use of purified phospholipases.
  • (14) With the solubilized preparation of garfish nerve membranes the saxitoxin-receptor reaction rates are almost four times faster than those of tetrodotoxin.
  • (15) The axon plasma membrane fraction isolated from garfish olfactory nerve was analyzed for its polypeptide composition by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
  • (16) Based on electrophoretic mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel, eight of the major polypeptides found in garfish nerve membrane appeared to be also present in the axon plasma membrane isolated from lobster walking leg nerve.
  • (17) A study has been made of the temperature changes associated with the passage of a single impulse in the non-myelinated fibres of the garfish olfactory nerve: and the time course of these temperature changes has been compared with the time course of the electrical events during the action potential.
  • (18) The long, large olfactory nerve of the garfish, as an easily accessible source of nonmyelinated axons, is uniquely suited for such a comparison.
