What's the difference between dogfish and hogfish?

Dogfish


Definition:

  • (n.) A small shark, of many species, of the genera Mustelus, Scyllium, Spinax, etc.
  • (n.) The bowfin (Amia calva). See Bowfin.
  • (n.) The burbot of Lake Erie.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In other dogfish, glomerular filtration rate, urine flow, and Na and K excretory rates were measured for 3 days following implantation of desoxycorticosterone (DOCA), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), or spironolactone; a control group was given no drug.
  • (2) The results showed that dogfish lenses developed superficial opacities due to near-UV exposure.
  • (3) The N-terminal tridecapeptide sequence was identical with the proposed structure of dogfish alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH).
  • (4) The "apo" lactate dehydrogenase structure was solved by use of the known apo-M4 dogfish lactate dehydrogenase molecule as a starting model.
  • (5) In addition, the interrenal cells of the common dogfish are strikingly rich in microfilament-like inclusions.
  • (6) In contrast to dogfish sharks, stringrays with high spinal transections do not locomote.
  • (7) It is concluded that, despite a broader specificity, the activity spectrum of dogfish enzyme is, in many respects, similar to that of calf chymosin.
  • (8) Tissue from the digitiform rectal gland of the spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, was fixed briefly by formaldehyde perfusion and studied for the specificity and localization of p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (NPP'ase) activity.
  • (9) A melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) has been isolated from extracts of the neurointermediate lobe of the pituitary of the dogfish Squalus acanthias by gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography.
  • (10) Initial-rate studies were made of the oxidation of L-glutamate by NAD+ and NADP+ catalysed by highly purified preparations of dogfish liver glutamate dehydrogenase.
  • (11) Aqueous humor dynamics were studied in the dogfish, Squalus acanthias, using isotopically labeled inulin, Na+, Cl-, and HCO-3.
  • (12) The spiracular sense organs of the little skate, Raja erinacea, and the smooth dogfish, Mustelus canis, respond to movements of the hyomandibula-cranial joint.
  • (13) The primary structure of glucagon isolated from the intestine of the common dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula, was established as H S E G T F T S D Y S K Y M D N R R A K D F V Q W L M N T. The peptide shows four substitutions compared with human glucagon: Glu-3 for Gln, Met-14 for Leu, Asn-16 for Ser and Lys-20 for Gln.
  • (14) Glycogen debranching enzyme (4-alpha-glucanotransferase amylo-1,6-glucosidase, EC 2.4.1.25 + 3.2.1.33) was purified 140-fold from dogfish muscle in a rapid, high-yield procedure that takes advantage of a strong binding of the enzyme to glycogen, and its quantitative adsorption to concanavalin A-Sepharose only when the polysaccharide is present.
  • (15) The skin of the dogfish in an exchanger for oxygen supplying 10% of oxygen requirements of other organs of the body in these experimental conditions (t = 13 degrees C).
  • (16) In marine fish (herring, dogfish shark, hagfish) FAO activities were all less than 15% that of rats and undetectable in hagfish.
  • (17) The dogfish enzyme has a higher pH optimum (8.5) and a broader spectrum of activity above and below its optimum than a commercial porcine lipase preparation (optimum, 7.5).
  • (18) The physiological effects of dogfish GnRH included the release of not only gonadotropin but also growth hormone from goldfish pituitary fragments.
  • (19) In this experiment, testicular tissues from different dogfish corresponding to the zones of lobules with spermatogonia (A), spermatocytes (B), early spermatids (C) and late spermatids (D) were dissected out and pooled.
  • (20) The vascular capacitance and volume distensibility of the isolated dogfish gut and segments of dogfish arteries and veins were investigated.

Hogfish


Definition:

  • (n.) A large West Indian and Florida food fish (Lachnolaemus).
  • (n.) The pigfish or sailor's choice.
  • (n.) An American fresh-water fish; the log perch.
  • (n.) A large, red, spiny-headed, European marine fish (Scorpaena scrofa).

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The undersea world at Cocos is as fantastical as the names of its inhabitants, from the sicklefin devil ray to the scarlet Mexican hogfish.
