Abundant reports on stunted growth in fishes following pesticides exposure are available; however, mechanism underlying it is rarely studied. Since hormones are well known to play vital role in regulation of metabolic activities and general body growth, present study was conducted to investigate the effects of malathion (an organophosphorous pesticide) on metabolic hormones, responsible for pro...

Cultivation of species high growth rates is a key achievement sustainable aquaculture development, with the aim increasing animal protein per capita, maintaining food security and preserving freshwater usage. The present study was conducted to evaluate feasibility monoculture polyculture striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, in different proportions ...

The freshwater bivalve Anodonta woodiana is native to China and widely distributed in Asia, Europe, North America. However, natural populations of A. have dramatically declined recently. Several fish species been used as potential hosts breeding programs; nonetheless, the optimal host yet be identified. In this study, we examined suitability five (bighead carp, common crucian yellow catfish, ti...

We report sequence, tissue expression and map-position data for myogenin, MYOD1, myostatin and follistatin in three Ictalurid catfish species: channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), blue catfish (I. furcatus) and white catfish (Ameiurus catus). These genes are involved in muscle growth and development in mammals and may play similar roles in catfish. Amino acid sequences were highly conserved a...

The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays a critical role in homeostasis and the regulation of body weight. Polymorphisms mc4r gene have been discovered linked to growth, carcass composition, meat quality traits. Therefore, we used CRISPR-Cas9 system target most important freshwater aquaculture species USA, channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Guide RNAs were designed direct Cas9 coding sequenc...

Traditional and intensive cultivation activities on freshwater fish species that have economic value been carried out, one of which is catfish. One way to increase the amount catfish production can be done by increasing stocking density in rearing container. Increased cause problems water quality. This study aims analyze administration Rhodobacter bacteria quality conclude best dose for researc...

African catfish is one of the freshwater fish with high albumin which plays a role in process new cell formation, so that, it can help growth and accelerate healing damaged skin cells due to an incision.
 This study aims find out effect giving extract Catfish meat on length time for cuts dose that provide best cut given orally.
 research laboratory experimental cross-sectional design ...

ABSTRACT The piramutaba, Brachyplatystoma vaillantii is a freshwater catfish that the most abundant fishery resource in Amazon estuary. Piramutaba trawling done on industrial fishing scale and characterized by presence of many marine bycatch species, with without commercial value. Here we describe piramutaba estuary evaluate relationship two important environmental factors, depth salinity, acci...
