To understand the biokinetics and potential risks of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), in fish, we exposed the black sea breams (Acanthopagrus schlegeli) to aqueous and dietary DDTs and then evaluated the bioaccumulation, distribution, biotransformation, and elimination of DD...

Based on the nutrient requirement of blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus fingerlings as reported earlier, nine experimental diets with 350 g protein, 80-100 g lipid and 16-17 MJ digestible energy/kg diet were formulated using snail meat (D-1), freshwater fish processing waste (D-2), surimi by-product (D-3), chicken offal (D-4), earthworm (D-5), squid (D-6), mussel (T-7), chicken liver (T-8)...

Streptococcus iniae is one of the most important agents that causes high mortality and losses in rainbow trout farms in Iran and the world. These bacteria can affects the consumers and people who deal with aquaculture via affected fish. So, viability of this bacterium in frozen fish and fish product can be useful for health care of consumers. A total of 90 rainbow trout, with average weight of ...

Management of ammonia, the primary waste product fish, is critical to fish health, especially in intensive systems. At low concentrations, ammonia causes stress and damages gills other tissues. Fish exposed levels over time are more susceptible bacterial infections, have poor growth, do not tolerate routine handling well. higher it will kill fish. Many unexplained production losses likely been ...

The gonadsomatic index (GSI) of mottled skate was the highest in April, GSI and HSI showed a reverse phase for its reproductive cycle. The fish had one pair of egg capsules, having 1 to 7 fertilized eggs, and spawned all the year round. When surveying the reproductive characteristics of females over 63 ㎝ in disc width, we found the spawning peak was between April to June, and the appearance rat...

The diversity of fish consumed in Bangladesh is a key aspect of diet and culture. Although total fish production in Bangladesh has been rising due to aquaculture, there are widespread concerns for loss and overexploitation of floodplain capture fisheries. The two are not effectively the same, because the resulting diversity of fish differs under each circumstance, as does access to fish and res...
