Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a neuropeptide hormone responsible for the release of luteinizing hormone (Lh) and follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) from the anterior pituitary gland . GnRH have been identified and characterized from the brain of C. catla. A cDNA fragment of 202bp was amplified and GnRH variant has been identified in the form chicken-II-type gonadotropin-releasing hor...

Ten years ago, very little was known about the genetics of most of the cyprinid species of interest to aquaculture in Asia, for example the Chinese carps, silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella); Indian major carps, catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus); and the silver barb (Barbo...

The study was carried out to identify muscle protein patterns and gut protease activity of rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla), climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) spotted snakehead (Channa punctatus). Twelve percent Polyacryleamide substrate SDS-PAGE done visualize the enzyme after casein hydrolysis pattern species. Three alkaline proteases different molecular weight were observed in rohu...

. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of dual stressors cadmium (Cd) and Aeromonas hydrophila (AH) on pro-and antioxidant status in gills, kidneys and liver tissues of fishes, Catla catla treated with or without silver nano-particles. Significant elevation in the lipid peroxidation levels with a significant decrease in the activity levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutat...

Genetic variation is a key component for improving a stock through selective breeding programs. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess genetic variation in three wild population of the catla carp (Catla catla Hamilton 1822) in the Halda, Jamuna and Padma rivers and one hatchery population in Bangladesh. Five decamer random primers were used to amplify RAPD markers...

Fish a protein, vitamin rich and fat deficient diet is considered as a vital brain food. Aquaculture has emerged to provide nutritional and food security to people. The three Indian major carps, namely, catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) are the major contributor of Indian aquaculture production. The use of probiotics in aquaculture is becoming increasingly ...

Experiments were conducted in non-desilted and de-silted earthen nursery ponds for a period of fifteen days to evaluate the growth and survival of Catla spawn. The fry attained an average weight of 42.03 +/- 0.36 and 74.36 +/- 72 mg, with a survival rate of 23.44 +/- 0. 31 and 50.91 +/- 0.21% in non-desilted and de-silted ponds respectively Mentioned length data also indicate that growth and su...

Herbicide Glyphosate Roundup (41%), has been widely used in aquatic and agricultural weed control in several countries including India. Herbicide glyphosate roundup (41%) has been associated with pollution due to its prolonged persistence and quick accumulation in blood as well as tissues. The present study thus aims to review the works of toxic effects of Herbicide glyphosate roundup (41%), on...
