this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of probiotic (bacillus latrospores and bacillus licheniformis) on growth and survival of silver carp larvae (hypophthalmichthys molitrix). rotifers (brachionus plicatilis) were used as live prey vehicle for probiotic transport. they were cultured in sea water with 15 ppt salinity and nannochloropsis oculata microalgae was used as feed. five trea...

The effectiveness of chemical compounds for marking hard tissues in juvenile silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) is not well known. We analyzed the use alizarin complexone (ALC) as a fluorescent marker to mark various structures carp. Experimental fish (~2 months old) were randomly assigned either control or groups, which immersed 0 100 mg/L ALC solutions, respectively, 2 days. otoliths, ...

BACKGROUND Low-temperature techniques that prevent protein denaturation are being used to extract collagen from fish skin for cosmetic purposes. These extracts contain collagen with its triple helix structure preserved, as well as a number of other proteins. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate collagen extracts from the skin of silver carp for the presence of small-molecule pep...
