TL;DR: Acid-soluble collagens extracted from the skins of several underutilised fishes contained a higher content of imino acids than those from dusky spinefoot and sea chub and the high denaturation temperatures of ray species suggested the possibility of its utilisation as a substitute for mammalian collagen.
TL;DR: The first record of the dusky spinefoot Siganus luridus in Tyrrhenian waters was reported in 2004 as discussed by the authors, where one specimen was caught in Capo d'Orlando in March 2004 by trammel net.
Abstract: The first record of the dusky spinefoot Siganus luridus in Tyrrhenian waters is reported. One specimen was caught in Capo d'Orlando in March 2004 by trammel net. Its morphometric and meristic characteristics are reported.
TL;DR: One specimen of the dusky spinefoot, Siganus luridus (Rüppell, 1829) (♀, total length = 17.3 cm, total weight = 87.61 g), was captured in the Mljet Channel (Southern Adriatic, Croatian coast) on 15 November 2010.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the elemental compositions, fatty acid profiles, lipid levels, and proximate compositions of marbled spinefoot and dusky spinefoot from the Mediterranean Sea/Turkey.
Abstract: Element compositions, fatty acid profiles, lipid levels, and proximate compositions of marbled spinefoot and dusky spinefoot from Northeastern Mediterranean Sea/Turkey were evaluated. Amounts of K and P of both fish were calculated as the predominant elements among the 11 and followed by Na, Mg, and Ca in this study. Apart from the copper, micro elements composition did not change significantly in both species. Saturated fatty acids (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) levels were the predominant fatty acids in both species respectively. Linoleic (n6) acid and linolenic (n3) acid levels were significantly higher in dusky spine foot than marbled spine foot. The ratio of DHA/EPA in marbled spinefoot and dusky spinefoot were calculated as 3.58 and 1.82, respectively. Lipid content of dusky spine-foot was significantly (P< 0.05) higher than that of marbled spine-foot, although moisture contents of both fish were almost the same.
