World population growth and food demand have been two major elements leading to the expansion of animal and fish production. Recently, many efforts advocated the extension of intensive fish farming to optimize the need for animal protein (Hussein et al., 2013). In Korea, aquaculture has made rapid development in a short period of time, and many fish farms have been established in order to fulfi...

fluctuations in salinity impose stress on the physiology of the exposed fish population and can modify their structure. it has been noted that changes in blood characteristics and plasma levels serve as the primary link between environmental change and physiological response (mccormick, 2001). ninety healthy adult cyprinuscarpio (c. carpio) were randomly divided into five groups and kept in sal...

our aim in this study was to identify and characterize allergic proteins in cooked wolf herring fish. we heated the crude extract alternatively at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100°c for one hour and results were compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page). also, proteins were immunoblotted with fish-sensitive patients’ sera. the major allergenic proteins were ide...

The effects of dietary supplementation of garlic (Allium sativum) extract on the growth and disease resistance of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus was evaluated. Also in-vitro evaluation of susceptibility of fish-borne multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria to aqueous extract of garlic was done. Aqueous garlic extract exhibited inhibitory activity against MDR bacteria and the degree o...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of replacing fish meal with plant sources on growth performance, immune responses, hematological parameters and disease resistance in rainbow trout. In this study, mean of initial body weight of fish was 15±2 g and the experiment was carried out for a period of 60 days. Four experimental diets were formulated to replace 0, 40, 70 and 100% fish me...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biogen probiotic additives on growth performance of common carp, cyprinus carpio. four practical diets containing 0 (control) , 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % biogen probiotic were used to feed fish. seventy-two juvenile common carp (65 ? 3.5g) were randomly distributed between 12 fiberglass tanks of 500 l capacity. during 60 days of feeding trial, the...

A 10-week feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding level, energy and protein maintenance requirement of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, fingerling (5.65±0.45cm; 1.42 ±0.25g) by feeding casein-gelatin based purified diet (45% CP; 3.67 kcal  g-1 GE) at six feeding levels 2-7% of BW/day in two equal meals, at 0800 and 1700 h, in triplicate, with 20 fish per trough fi...
