A new look at the assessment of the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Val.) as a food fish ;

Aspects of Embryonic and Larval Development in Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix

As bighead carp Hypophthalmichthysnobilis and silver carp H. molitrix (the bigheaded carps) are poised to enter the Laurentian Great Lakes and potentially damage the region's economically important fishery, information on developmental rates and behaviors of carps is critical to assessing their ability to establish sustainable populations within the Great Lakes basin. In laboratory experiments,...

Pathogen Susceptibility of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and Bighead Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) in the Wabash River Watershed

food and feeding habits of silver carp, hypophthalmichthys molitrix (val., 1844) in gobindsagar reservoir, india.

investigation on the food and feeding habits of silver carp in gobindsgar reservoir indicated that the diet of silver carp was dominated by cyclotella spp. (diatom) followed by chlorophyceae, cyanophyceae, crustacea, dianophyceae and rotifera. the size range of cyclotella spp. varied between 5-25 µm indicating that silver carp is capable to collect the food particles smaller than distance betwe...

Risk assessment of microcystins in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) from eight eutrophic lakes in China.

Bioaccumulation and risk assessment of microcystins (MCs) in muscle of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) from eight eutrophic lakes along the Yangtze River of China were examined by using liquid chromatography electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. MCs contents in seston collected from these eutrophic lakes ranged from 0.02 to 21.7 μg/L. MCs concentrations in silver carp muscle samp...

The Effect of Different Pre-Fried Temperatures on Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Silver Carp Fish (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Nuggets

In present study the effect of different pre-frying temperatures in sunflower oil on physical and chemical characteristics of silver carp fish nuggets (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) were studied. After prepared, the fish nuggets were pre-fried in sunflower oil heated to 150, 170 and 190°C. The measurements included: the proximate composition (protein, moisture, fat and ash), physical experiments...
