All operations of aquaculture production rely upon the 60% feed role as an energy source and nutrition for growth survival rate aquatic organisms, especially tilapia fish. This research aims to study feeding different food types fingerlings. A sample fingerlings was derived from Centre Aquaculture Production Business Service (BLUPPB) Karawang reared in Teaching Factory. The were stocked with ma...

Copepod fecal pellets are often degraded at high rates within the upper part of the water column. However, the identity of the degraders and the processes governing the degradation remain unresolved. To identify the pellet degraders we collected water from Øresund (Denmark) approximately every second month from July 2004 to July 2005. These water samples were divided into 5 fractions (<0.2, <2,...

A DNA vaccine based on the VP2 gene of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) was incorporated into feed to evaluate the effectiveness of this oral delivery method in rainbow trout. Lyophilized alginate-plasmid complexes were added to feed dissolved in water and the mixture was then lyophilized again. We compared rainbow trout that were fed for 3 consecutive days with vaccine pellets with ...

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary propolis alcohol extract supplementation on growth performance, digestibility, intestinal morphometry, and physiologic parameters Nile tilápia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) juveniles. For performance experiment 120 fish averaging 1.41±0.3g were randomly distributed into 24 tanks (70L each) in a closed recirculation water syste...

The air rifle: a dangerous weapon Airgun injuries are common among children. Though several reports of eye and soft-tissue injuries have been published, intra-abdominal injuries are apparently rare. I report a case of gastric perforation by an airgun pellet, which exemplifies the potentially lethal injuries that these weapons can inflict. Though the current laws restricting the possession and u...

We investigated the regulatory effect of tamoxifen (TAM) on fibronectin (FN) expression in estrogen-dependent MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. in vitro, MCF-7 cells were cultured with 17beta-estradiol (E2) and/or TAM. In the animal experiment in vivo, MCF-7 tumors were grown in ovariectomized athymic mice by implanting a sustained release E2 pellet. The E2 pellets were re...
