What's the difference between pinfish and squirrelfish?
Pinfish
Definition:
(n.) The sailor's choice (Diplodus, / Lagodon, rhomboides).
(n.) The salt-water bream (Diplodus Holbrooki).
Example Sentences:
(1) After 28 days exposure, oysters bioconcentrated an average of 218 X the BHC measured in exposure water, while pinfish bioconcentrated 130 X in their edible tissues and 617 X in offal.
(2) Copper was accidentally introduced into seawater entering a circular outdoor tank used to culture 610 pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides) and other marine teleosts.
(3) In an effort to determine the subcellular localization of sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na(+), K(+)-ATPase) in the pseudobranch of the pinfish Lagodon rhomboides, this tissue was fractionated by differential centrifugation and the activities of several marker enzymes in the fractions were measured.
(4) Two BHC bioconcentration studies were conducted with the oyster, Crassostrea virginica, and pinfish.
(5) The pseudobranch of the pinfish Lagodon rhomboides is an unusually homogeneous and structurally simple tissue, well suited to cell fractionation studies.
(6) After one week in BHC-free sea water, no detectable residues were measured in oysters or pinfish.
(7) The activity of the electrolyte transport enzyme, sodium, potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase), in the gills of the pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides, increased markedly following transfer of fish from brackish water to seawater.
(8) In comparing the sensitivities of the two genera of grass shrimp and the pinfish (Lagodon rhombroides) to the ARM, the grass shrimp were more sensitive.
(9) Electrolyte imbalance, apparently resulting from impaired osmoregulation and hemolysis, was a serious terminal condition in copper-poisoned pinfish.
(10) Cytochemical localization of Na+,K+-ATPase via its potassium-dependent phosphatase (K+-NPPase) activity in the branchial epithelium of pinfish adapted to seawater demonstrated that chloride cells are the major sites for the enzyme.
(11) The pinfish were lethergic by 6 hours after copper was introduced into the tank.
(12) Deaths stopped 11 hours after copper concentrations decreased below 0.2 ppm and signs of distress stopped in surviving pinfish by approximately 6 hours after the last death.
