Dickfish

Product Information

This species is widespread and very common throughout much of its range in the Caribbean and Florida, although it is uncommon in northeastern Brazil.

This species feeds on benthic invertebrates, including crabs, small fishes, sea urchins and ophiuroids, polychaetes, and gastropods. Set in turn-of-the-century Washington, DICKFISH is a prurient peek into the limousine lives of six frisky young professionals, whose twisted histories, complex values and subterranean tunes ultimately reflect-or reject-the modern America of our imaginings. These results are important in the identification of non-porphyrin metal-containing compounds in heavy crude petroleums and residua. Vanadyl and nickel non-porphyrin rich fractions have been characterized in pyridine/water extracts of four heavy crude petroleums using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in combination with element-selective graphite furnace atomic absorption detection (RP-HPLC/GFAA).The terminal phase is when the fish becomes a male, so the body coloration turns to green with two longitudinal dark stripes.

Four heavy crude petroleums, Boscan, Cerro Negro, Wilmington, and Prudhoe Bay, have been examined by high-performance liquid chromatography in combination with graphite furnace atomic absorption detection (HPLC/GFAA) to provide both a vanadium fingerprint and a molecular weight categorization of the vanadyl porphyrin and non-porphyrin compounds present.The presence of lower polarity vanadyl non-porphyrin compounds, occurring primarily in Wilmington and Prudhoe Bay petroleum, has also been confirmed.
