Freshwater aquaculture has a long and vibrant tradition in China. The Chinese longsnout catfish (Leiocassis longirostris) is popular economic freshwater fish native to Understanding the genetic structure of L. longirostris populations important for ensuring efficacy management practices sustainability future increases production. In this study, we used Illumina sequencing technology isolate 20 ...

Trichomycterus areolatus is an endemic species of pencil catfish that inhabits the riffles and rapids of many freshwater ecosystems of Chile. Despite its unique adaptation to Chile's high gradient watersheds and therefore potential application in the investigation of ecosystem integrity and environmental contamination, relatively little is known regarding the molecular biology of this environme...

A sample of seventy specimens of a freshwater catfish, Sperata sarwari was collected from Mangla Lake during February to November 2005 and their guts preserved in 5 % formalin. After the catch, sample was divided into two sub-samples as size class I (31-60 cm) and size class II (61-90 cm). The gut of each fish specimen was examined for the presence of internal helminth parasites. The study reve...

length-weight relationship is the most commonly used analysis which has been used for several purposes in fisheries field among which estimation of weight from length is the most popular one. the present study has been performed to analyze the length-weight relationship of mystus tengara , a freshwater catfish of indian subcontinent. total length and body weight of the studied specimens have be...

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a global problem requiring 6month MDT-DOTS continuous treatment. This time based treatment along with the combination of VCO nutritional supplement and/or Catfish-extracted albumin has shown a significant benefit on improving immune response, accelerating the conversion of BTA sputum, increasing nutritional states and improving chest X-ray imaging in people with active...

In spite of the abundance and commercial importance of these two species, there is little published weight-length data for the gafftopsail catfish (Bagre marinus) and hardhead catfish (Ariopsis felis). For this study 84 catfish were caught (hook and line) from the Calcasieu Estuary in Southwest Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico and estuaries and near shore waters close to bayou Lafourche. Using...

Aquaponics, the water-reusing production of fish and crops, is taken as an example to investigate consequences upscaling a nature-based solution in circular city. We developed upscaled-aquaponic scenario for German metropolis Berlin, analysed impacts, studied system dynamics. To meet annual fish, tomato, lettuce demand Berlin’s 3.77 million residents would require approximately 370 aquaponic fa...

Background: The enhancer (Eμ3') of the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH) of the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) has been well characterized. The functional core region consists of two variant Oct transcription factor binding octamer motifs and one E-protein binding μE5 site. An orthologue to the Oct2 transcription factor has previously been cloned in catfish and is a functionally act...
