In the present investigation found immunostimulant potential plants being an alternative for preventing fish diseases. Six groups of experimental fishes (E. suratensis) were immunized with 0.2ml (4ppm) of five different extracts of Solanum nigrum through intra-peritoneal injection and challenged with heat killed Aphanomyces invadans. Blood collected from immunized and normal fish were analyzed ...

Ciguatoxins (CTXs), and possibly maitotoxins (MTXs), are responsible for Ciguatera Fish Poisoning, an important health problem for consumers of reef fish (such as inhabitants of islands in the South Pacific Ocean). The habitational range of the Gambierdiscus species is expanding, and new species are being discovered. In order to provide information on the potential health risk of the Gambierdis...

Probiotic bacteria are known to exert a wide range of beneficial effects on their animal hosts. Control of intestinal homeostasis, inflammation suppression and a reduction in the incidence of cancer all rely on the antiproliferative potential of probiotics. In this paper, we assess the antiproliferative activity of probiotics in two teleost fish cell lines SAF-1, a fibroblast cell line and EPC,...

Three alternative procedures were employed for the isolation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; 15 of 16 US EPA priority pollutants and benzo[e]pyrene), their methyl-derivatives and sulphur analogues from fish tissue: (1) Soxhlet extraction, (2) batch extraction enhanced by sonication, and (3) saponification of the sample followed by re-extraction of analytes into hexane. Soxhlet extrac...

The 3 post-marsupial juvenile stages of the gnathiid isopod, Paragnathia formica, are haematophagous ectoparasites of fishes that may, in heavy infestations, cause host mortality. Protein digestion in fed stage 3 juveniles is accomplished by cysteine proteinases, but what bioactive compounds attenuate host haemostatic, inflammatory and immunological responses during feeding is unknown. Trypsin ...

Fish oil are currently high in demand due to its wide range of therapeutic benefits. High content eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) derived from various sources marine life fish essential human mental developments metabolism. Swamp Eel Fish, scientifically known as Monopterus Albus is a freshwater that highly demands across South-East Asia can easily be found Malaysia. This ...

Abstract The consumption of inadequately thermally treated fish is a public health risk due to the possible propagation Anisakis larvae. present study demonstrated physiological and histopathological changes that accompanied an oral inoculation crude extracts from fresh Type II (L3) in rats. Worms were isolated marine examined identified using light scanning electron microscopy. was performed 6...

This study aimed at extracting lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds from Nordic brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus to evaluate the extract’s ability maintain physical oxidative stability of fish oil-enriched mayonnaise (80% fat, 1:4 oil: rapeseed oil) during storage (dark, up 28 days). Three different types extracts were obtained, one using supercritical carbon dioxide (lipophilic extract) two sub...
