Three species of Indian major carp (Labeo rohita,Catla catla,Cirrhinus mrigala) were collected from local fish market and fishing sites of river Brahmaputra for determining the nutritional value,seasonal variation of proximate composition and vitamin A content of these fishes.Results obtained show that there is no much significant seasonal variations in body composition of Indian major carp tho...

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a xenoestrogen that mimics the action of natural estrogen, estradiol-17β, and can disrupt the endocrine system. Present study was designed to investigate histopathological effects of BPA on some vital organs of major carp, Catla catla. Fish were exposed to various sub-lethal concentrations (1 to 4 ppm) of BPA in a semi-static system for 15 days. After the stipulated time, l...

A study was carried out on the optimal dose of inorganic fertilizer used in carp polyculture system over a period of 10 months. Three treatments were assigned: without inorganic fertilizer, with the application of 100 kg/ha/month inorganic fertilizer and 150 kg/ha/month inorganic fertilizer as T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Each treatment had three replications. The selected indigenous carp speci...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of traditional Bengal culinary practice on heavy metal content four carp species (Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Fish samples were collected from seven different farms located in Rajshahi district Bangladesh. processed cooked a currying method concentrations five metals (Pb, Co, Cr, Cd, Ni)...

the experiment was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of lernaea cyprinacea and its effects on growth, hematology and skin histopathology of catla catla in four experimental earthen ponds (p1, p2, p3 and p4) for 90 days. the growth performance, prevalence of lernaea cyprinacea and ulceration was recorded on a fortnightly basis. the highest final body weight was observed in p4 (413.7 g) follow...

Increased production of fish through intense culture practices often leads to not only stress and disease problems but also alteration in water quality. The organic wastes and bad water quality influence the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Bioremediation using pond probiotics is considered a promising way to circumvent these problems. For this study, three earthen fish ponds stocked with P...

The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome in fish plays significant roles health and disease resistance. This investigation was accomplished to enumerate, characterize identify the potential probiotic bacteria from three Indian Major Carps (IMCs), viz., rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla) mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) using culture dependent methods. Altogether, 105 pathogen-inhibitory (out of 121...
