In this study, the effects of oxygen supplementation in different stocking densities of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) on the specific growth rates (SGR), feed conversion ratios (FCR) and survival rates were investigated in a commercial-scale culture system. High density cultures were maintained in a total of nine (12 m3) flow-through systems supplemented with O2. Initial stocking rates fo...

this study was carried out to determine the effects of immunogen as a prebiotic on growth-related parameters and gut micro-flora in r. kutum fry. a basal diet was formulated using common feed ingredients supplemented with immunogen at 0, 1, 1.5, and 2 g kg-1 leading to four experimental diets.  fish were randomly distributed in 500 l fiberglass tanks (1×1×0.5 m). the experiment lasted for eight ...

The identification of two new Planetary Nebulae in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sgr) is presented. This brings the total number to four. Both new PNe were previously classified as Galactic objects. The first, StWr 2-21, belongs to the main body of Sgr, from its velocity and location. The second, the halo PN BoBn 1, has a location, distance and velocity in agreement with the leading ...

In present study the effect of feeding frequency on growth performance, feed efficiency and survival rate of juvenile of grass carp were investigated. Three groups of juvenile grass carp (average weight 4.31±0.1 g) designed with three feeding frequencies one meal a day (D1), two meals a day (D2) and four meals a day (D3) with two replicates of each treatment combination were applied in this exp...

We 1 summarize previous VLBI observations of Sgr A* at millimeter wavelengths and present new results from VLBI observations at 86 GHz and at 215 GHz. At 86 GHz the measured closure phase is close to zero, consistent with a point-like or symmetric structure of 190±30 µas size. At 215 GHz we have (for the first time) detected Sgr A* with a signal-to-noise ratio of 6. This yields a tentative size...

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of daily prey concentration during the first 15 days of active feeding of Hoplias lacerdae larvae, and the juvenile size on the feed training. In the first phase, the larvae received five Artemia nauplii concentrations (P). In the second phase, the juveniles from each treatment were trained to accept formulated diet. Superior growth was relate...

The experiment was conducted to optimize the dose of 17α-methyl testosterone (MT) during masculinization of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry. Five treatments were designed with various doses of hormone to find out the most effective one. The treatments were designated as T1 (0 mg MT/kg), T2 (40 mg MT/kg), T3 (50 mg MT/kg), T4 (60 mg MT/kg) and T5 (70 mg MT/kg). MT was administered orally by ...

Although the accumulation of pharmaceutical drugs in aquatic bodies has increased rapidly recent years, effect rifampicin (RIF), a first-line anti-tuberculosis drug, on fish feeding, growth, and embryonic development is unknown. This investigation aimed to determine impact RIF growth developmental profile mosquitofish Gambusia affinis. Experimental groups included controls, which were kept norm...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 3 is the second most prevalent of the seven HCV genotypes and exhibits the greatest resistance to the highly potent, direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) that are currently in use. Previously a stable cell line harbouring the S52 GT3 sub-genomic replicon (SGR) was established, but this SGR was unable to robustly replicate transiently. As transient SGRs are a cri...

the experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different photoperiods and darkness on the growth and survival of juvenile catla catla in the laboratory for 90 days. fishes were divided into four aquaria (10 fish per aquarium), and subjected to different photoperiod regimes of 8 hours light: 16 hours dark (8l:16d), 16 hours light: 8 hours dark (16l:8d), continuous light (24l:0d) and co...
