The effects of different salt additions (1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, and 3.5%) on the gelling properties and protein phosphorylation of the mixed gels (MG) formed by silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) surimi with 10% crabmeat were investigated. The MG’s breaking force, deformation, gel strength, and water-holding capacity (WHC) increased as the salt concentration increased. The intrinsic fluorescence intensity of the samples initially decreased and then increased, reaching the lowest when the NaCl concentration was 2.5%. The result of SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that large aggregates were formed by protein–protein interaction in the MG containing 2.5% or 3.0% NaCl, decreasing the protein band intensity. It was also found that with the addition of NaCl, the phosphorus content initially increased and then decreased, reaching the maximum when the NaCl concentration was 2% or 2.5%, which was similar to the changing trend of actin band intensity reported in the results of Western blot. These results revealed that the amount of salt used had a significant effect on the degree of phosphorylation of the MG protein. The increase in phosphorylation was linked to improved gelling properties, which could lead to new ideas for manufacturing low-salt surimi products in the future.

Changes in de novo protein synthesis and protein phosphorylation were monitored during anoxia and recovery in the red-eared slider Trachemys (= Pseudemys) scripta elegans. Time courses of 35S-radiolabeled methionine incorporation into acid-precipitable material showed an increase up to 5 h postinjection and remained constant after this time. Comparison of the total and acid-precipitable 35S label incorporation into tissues from 20-h control, anoxic, and recovering animals showed differences between these groups: total radioactivity in brain was 2.9-fold lower in recovering turtles, whereas protein-associated radioactivity was 2.4-fold higher in anoxic liver, 2.3-fold lower in recovering skeletal muscle, and 3.7-fold lower in recovering brain tissue. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of radiolabeled proteins showed the existence of a newly synthesized protein band (relative molecular mass = 72 kDa) that was apparent only in 20-h recovering liver and skeletal muscle. Use of 32P labeling to monitor changes in protein phosphorylation patterns during anoxia revealed 1.6-, 1.4-, and 1.5-fold increases in 32P incorporation in anoxic brain, heart, and liver, respectively. Changes in protein phosphorylation were localized to the plasma membrane and cytosolic fractions in brain and to the cytosolic fraction in liver.

Abstract The effect of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Val.) feeding activity on the plankton communities in a high-rate pond technology system (HRPTS) effluent was investigated over a period of 100 days. The experiment was conducted at the experimental wastewater treatment plant of the Agronomic and Veterinary Medicine Institute (AVI) of Rabat, Morocco, using a HRPTS in a fish pond receiving the plant effluent. The effluent was highly dominated by phytoplankton (99.95%). Silver carp could survive and grow in the fish pond. Production was 37 kg with a very low mortality rate (12%). The high specific intestine weight (7%) and intake rates of biomass and phytoplankton by silver carp (616 g kg-1 of fish day-1 and 1.6 x 1011 cell kg-1 of fish day-1, respectively) demonstrated the importance of the feeding activity of the fish. Zooplankton intake rates were lower (2 x 107 bodies kg-1 of fish day-1). The high intestine index (3 to 4.3 for fish sizes of 14 to 22 cm) and the dominance of phytoplankton in the gut contents (99.95%) confirmed an omnivorous/ phytoplanctivorous diet. Silver carp were efficient in removing plankton from the HRPTS effluent. The net removal yields of biomass were 285 g m-3 day-1 and 322 g kg-1 of fish day-1, 7 x 1010 algal cells kg-1 of fish day-1 and 8.7 x 107 zooplankton bodies kg-1 of fish day-1, with net removal rates of 47, 64 and 62%, respectively. The total suspended solids concentration decreased from 211 in the inflow to 112 mg L-1 in the fish pond.
