چکیده مقاله:

The present study was carried out to examine 6 plants including aquatic and terrestrial plants on food preference and growth of grass carp. 7 experimental treatments with three replicates were considered. The experimental treatments were ponds containing T1: M. spicatum, T2: C. demersum, T3: A. filiculoides, T4: L. minor, T5: C. dactylon, T6: M. sativa and T7: M. Spicatum + C. demersum + A. filiculoides + L. minor + C. dactylon + M. sativa. 12 grass carps (20 g) were added to each experimental pond. After 5 months, the fish body composition was assessed. According to results, the higher values of fish weight gain rate were obtained in treatments T4 (3.13 g), T6 (2.93 g) and T1 (2.95 g) compared to other experimental groups (p<0.05). Also, the highest percentage of body protein and lipid content were observed in T4 and T1. In addition, the biomass and percentage of examined plants decreased after delivery of grass carps to each pond over the course of the experiment, but higher decreases were recorded for T4 and T1. The mean values of relative growth rate were higher in T4 and mixture of all plants (p<0.05). Also, the highest fish biomass was recorded in T1 and T4 (p<0.05). In conclusion, our results showed that T4 and T1 have higher adaptability compared to other examined plants in the present study and these two plants could be used for feeding grass carp in aquaculture.

Induction of triploidy in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella Valenciennes, 1844: Comparison of cold & heat shocks

Triploidy in grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella Valenciennes, 1844, was induced on fertilized eggs to compare cold and heat shocks. Two simplified methods explained for verification of triploidy in grass carp. The cold shock (7 ?C) was given in three treatments for 30 min starting 2.0, 2.5 and 4.0 min after fertilization. In cold shock, the start point (2.0 min after fertilization) showed th...

Evaluation the performance of anaesthetic effects of Tobacco and Ketamine on Grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes, 1844)

The present study aimed to determine the optimal concentration of three anaesthetics, name MS222, ketamine, and tobacco extract, in grass carp juveniles (107.78±22.11 g body weight and 226.74±13.06 mm total body length). Treatments were as follows: 100 mg L-1 of MS222 (control group), 5.5, 8, 11, 18.5, and 22 mg L-1 of ketamine, and 10, 13.33, 20, 26.27, and 40 mg L-1 of tobacco extract. In add...

Morphometric and molecular characterization of Dactylogyrus lamellatus isolated from farmed Grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes, 1844), in Guilan province, Iran

Grass carp is an herbivorous species, which is actually popular in Iran. Monogenean parasites, particularly members of the family Dactylogyridae, have been one of the main causes of mortalities in Iranian fish farms and therefore they have been subject of many studies in Iran. The main aim of the present study was to describe morphological and molecular characteristics of monogenean parasites r...

Growth Response of Juvenile Grass Carp (ctenopharyngodon Idella) Fed Isocaloric Diets with Variable Protein Levels

Sixty days feeding experiment was conducted on grass carp fry fed isocaloric diets with variable protein levels in order to evaluate its growth response. Different diet ingredients were analyzed for % age protein, % age fat, % age ash, % fiber, % age moisture contents and energy. Five isoenergetic (17.91 ± 0.02 Kg MJ ) and isolipidic (8.56 ± 0.09 g) diets with varying protein levels PL1 (20%), ...
