Importance of pond based carp polyculture as a popular technique for fish production in Bangladesh is well documented [1]. It has further potentials to improve the livelihood of the poor and marginal peoples [2]. Potentials of pond based fish production towards livelihood improvement are also explored well by Hossain et al. [3] for Barind area having characteristic soil-water qualities like low...

in this investigation, the mercury content of different samples of persian gulf shrimp and fish, caspian sea fish and the samples of fish from bandar pahlavi lagoon, zarjoub river near rasht, zayandehroud river near esfahan, and karadj river near tehran were measured by flameless atomic absorption, cold vapor-technique, using standard addition method. the main purpose of this study was to inves...

haemato-biochemical studies in rainbow trout infected with saprolegnia were carried out under temperate climatic conditions of kashmir valley to find out the variation in blood parameters. the trial was carried out on 405 cultured rainbow trout fish ranging in length from 47.8 to 69.8 cm and in weight from 1300 to 1920 g. the same experiment was carried out on 2,70000.00 trout fish eggs from no...

Albumin is a plasma protein that consists of single polypeptide chain and used to accelerate the recovery split/damaged cell tissue. produced from human blood in form serum albumin (HSA) which fulfilled through imports at relatively expensive price. The alternative needed get cheaper but has same clinical aspects, such as scad fish (Decapterus ruselli). purpose this study determine effect diffe...

l- carnitine has been recognized as a new and important dietary supplementation, essential for human and animal nutrition. this study was conducted to evaluate the use of dietary l- carnitine supplementation and its effects on the growth (body final weight, daily growth rate (dgr), feed efficiency (fe), feed conversion ratio (fcr), daily feed intake  (dfi), protein efficiency ratio (per), lipid...

Species diversification in Mediterranean mariculture involves various important fish that contribute to the diet of many human populations. These include meagres (Sciaenidae), flatfishes, mullets, and various sparids. Their quality aspects (yields, fillet proximate composition, and lipid quality) are discussed in this review. Their filleting yield is mostly 40-45%. The viscerosomatic index rang...

In classical aquaponics (coupled aquaponic systems, 1-loop systems) the production of fish in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and plants in hydroponics are combined in a single loop, entailing systemic compromises on the optimal production parameters (e.g. pH). Recently presented decoupled aquaponics (2-loop systems) have been awarded for eliminating major bottlenecks. In a pilot study,...

In this work, we develop a data-driven modelling framework to reproduce the locomotion of fish in a confined environment. Specifically, we highlight the primary characteristics of the motion of individual zebrafish (Danio rerio), and study how these can be suitably encapsulated within a mathematical framework utilising a limited number of calibrated model parameters. Using data captured from in...

The effects of bottom trawling on benthic invertebrates include reductions of biomass, diversity and body size. These changes may negatively affect prey availability for demersal fishes, potentially leading to reduced food intake, body condition and yield of fishes in chronically trawled areas. Here, the effect of trawling on the prey availability and diet of two commercially important flatfish...
