AIM To compare the mean of anteroposterior (AP) measurements of the uterus in longitudinal and oblique transverse planes, and the pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) of the uterine artery and superficial skin wound artery between patients taking Channa striatus and placebo. BACKGROUND Channa striatus, also known as haruan, is a fresh water snakehead fish consumed in many parts of ...

Detecting and documenting the occurrence of invasive species outside their native range requires tools to support their identification. This can be challenging for taxa with diverse life stages and/or problematic or unresolved morphological taxonomies. DNA barcoding provides a potent method for identifying invasive species, as it allows for species identification at all life stages, including f...

Scale samples of Channa marulius were collected and studied for age determination and calculation of growth parameters. The fish were sampled from Harike Wetland during 1998 to 1999. Linear relationship with a high degree of correlation was observed between total fish length and the lateral scale radius. Age determination studies revealed 5 age groups. The harvestable size falls just below the ...

Channidae Family is a predatory fish in Central Kalimantan. This fish also possesses high albumin and complete amino acid content that useful for health, particularly in wound healing. Channidae Family includes Gabus (Channa striatus), Toman (Channa micropeltes), Kerandang (Channa pleurophthalmus), and Mihau (Channa maculata). However, the phylogenetic relationship between these snakehead fishe...

Channa striata, locally known as "haruan", is economically important in fisheries and aquaculture industries in several Asian countries. DNA sequencing, based on a partial segment of the Cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (CO1) gene, was used to determine genetic variation in C. striata samples from four different populations on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The highest nucleotide and hapl...

Channa andrao, new species, from Lefraguri swamp, West Bengal, India, differs from all its congeners except, C. asiatica, C. bleheri and C. burmanica and the recently described C. hoaluensis and C. ninhbinhensis by the absence of pelvic fins. It can be distinguished from all other pelvic fin-less species of snakeheads by its colour pattern, and differs further in its number of vertebrae, dorsal...

The thorny headed acanthocephan, Pallisentis nagapurensis infects the intestine of fresh water murrel, Channa striatus. This parasite broughts severe histopathological changes in the intestine includes mucosa and submucosa are completely disrupted, thickened lamina propria, damage of epithelial cells, mucosa folds clumped. The intestinal villi of the mucosa shrinked, infected intestine often en...

In the present study six commercially important fish Channa striatus were treated with different dose grade of 2,4-D pesticide. After a period of treatment the nutritional changes in the fish tissue was estimated biochemically. The moisture content in the Channa striatus fishes after treatment varies from 62.6% and the highest is found in non treated group. Analysis of protein showed much fluct...
