regulated by, and suited to, the environment in which they reproduce. In many teleosts, which spawn in either freshwater or seawater, sperm motility is initiated by osmotic shock when sperm are ejaculated. These osmolality dependent regulatory systems are quite different in freshwater cyprinid teleosts, such as carp, gold fish and zebrafish, and marine teleosts, such as the pufferfish and floun...

Nonnative fish introductions disrupt ecosystem processes and can drive native species to local extinction. Two of the most widespread, introduced species are the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from Eurasia and the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from Africa. In North and South America, these introductions stem from aquaculture facilities, as well as historical introductions for recreational...

An experiment was conducted at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, to investigate effects of feeding regimes on growth of sex-reversed Thai red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.). There were five different supplemental feeding regimes: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of satiation. Red tilapia fingerlings (33.2 to 33.4 g size) were stocked at 62.5 fish m-3 in fifteen 0.8-m3 net cages suspended in a 200-...

This study aims to determine the abnormal tissue structure of gill organs in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) due infection. The type research used is experimental using a randomized design. sample was tilapia infected with disease, taken from nursery pond poor water quality. can be seen macroscopic characteristics sick tilapia. conducted at Histopathology and Pathology Laboratory Sempur Freshwa...

Trace levels of amoxicillin residues were determined in animal tissues by liquid chromatography (LC) with fluorescence detection. An improved solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure requiring less flammable solvent (diethyl ether) was developed for sample preparation. Muscle samples of beef, pork, chicken, and tilapia were extracted with a phosphate buffer followed by the modified SPE procedure ...

Flavobacterium columnare is an important pathogen of freshwater fish, implicated in skin and gill disease, often causing high mortality. An outbreak of skin disease in fingerling and adult Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), cultivated in a recirculation system, was investigated. Four strains were isolated and characterized by biochemical reactions, enzyme production, fatty acid profile a...
