What's the difference between sheatfish and silure?
Sheatfish
Definition:
(n.) A European siluroid fish (Silurus glanis) allied to the cat-fishes. It is the largest fresh-water fish of Europe, sometimes becoming six feet or more in length. See Siluroid.
Example Sentences:
(1) 100% of sheatfish fry infected by water bath died within 8 days.
(2) The sheatfish, Silurus glanis (L.), from the terminal part of River Po was examined for the presence of helminth parasites.
(3) In case of common secretory specialization, it can be a) isomorphous--at identical convertion of the epithelium in the whole follicle (for example, in sheatfish), b) dimorphous--when there is a certain difference in the character and degree of secretory specialization of the follicular epithelium in various follicular areas (for example in Myxine glutinosa); 2) unipolar secondary transformation when the follicular epithelium undergoes secondary flattening or secretory specialization only in the area adjacent to one of the oocyte poles (for example, in Lametra fluviatilis and Blennis follis).
(4) An iridovirus-like agent which was isolated from sheatfish fry showed to be of high virulence to those fish.
(5) In 45 sheatfish of total length < or = 40 cm, specimens of P. laevis were found encapsulated in mesenteric and peritoneal tissues.
(6) Applying the axon-terminal degeneration method, the representation of the lateral line posterior nerve in acustico-lateral area of the dwarf sheatfish medulla oblongata was studied.
(7) The greatest degree of localization of the degenerated terminals was revealed in the dorsolateral area of the medial nucleus on the ipsilateral side, where previously, under adequate stimulation of the organs on the lateral line of the dwarf sheatfish, the greatest amount of responses was registered.
(8) A radioimmunoassay was to determine the content of estrogens, progestins and androgens in the blood plasma of female and male big-mouthed buffalo, silver carp and canal sheatfish before reproduction and in the first two species during reproduction as well.
(9) An icosahedral cytoplasmic deoxyvirus has been isolated from moribund sheatfish (Silurus glanis) fry of a commercial warm water recirculation aquaculture unit with cumulative mortalities of up to 100%.
Silure
Definition:
(n.) A fish of the genus Silurus, as the sheatfish; a siluroid.
Example Sentences:
(1) A high activity against herpes of bromovinyldeoxyuridine and acyclovir has been verified, a marked therapeutic effect of Soviet monophosphates ara-A, ara-C, and original silur preparation in some forms of herpes infection has been demonstrated.
