Climbing Perch Anabas Testudineus Bloch I. Oxygen Uptake and Carbon Dioxide Release into Air and Water

Effect of curcumin supplementation on hepatic, renal and intestinal organization of Anabas testudineus (Bloch): Light and electron microscopic studies

Anabas testudineus (commonly known as ‘climbing perch’) is a euryhaline teleost, inhabiting both freshwater and brackish water ecosystems of India and other South East Asian countries. It thrives well in water deficient in dissolved oxygen and is capable of migrating between ponds taking advantage of the accessory respiratory organs, the labyrinthine organs. The market demand for this fish is v...

Growth performance and survival rate of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) fed Daphnia sp. enriched with manure, coconut dregs flour and soybean meal

The objective of the present study was to determine the best material for enhancing nutritional value of Daphnia fed to climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) larvae. The study was conducted at Laboratory of Marine and Fishery Faculty, Syiah Kuala University, Indonesia in July 2015. The completely randomized design was used, this study was conducted with three enhancer materials; chicken manure, c...

Diet variation in climbing perch populations inhabiting eight different types of ecosystems

The present study revealed that populations of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) inhabiting river, backwater, shallow water channel, ponds with and without vegetation cover, marsh, sewage canal and aquaculture tank varied significantly in the number of food items consumed. Chironomous larvae, organic debris and filamentous algae were the common ingredients of the menu of this species across f...

Remarkably low genetic variation but high population differentiation in the climbing perch, Anabas testudineus (Anabantidae), based on the mtDNA control region.

Anabas testudineus (Anabantidae) is an important food fish in Southeast Asia. We analyzed the mitochondrial DNA control region sequence data to evaluate the genetic variability and population structure of this species. Sixty specimens were collected from four populations in Sumatra and two populations in Peninsular Malaysia. We found a very low level of genetic variability, with five of the six...
