Abstract Maros Regency is one of the coastal and marine areas that has potential to develop large inland fisheries in South Sulawesi. Catfish a freshwater fish economic value. This research aims analyze profitability catfish business Turikale District Mandai District, using conventional biofloc methods. method uses quantitative analysis with location chosen deliberately, namely Districts. Sampl...

Growth performance, immune responses and disease resistance were studied in juvenile channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, fed a commercial diet (35.3% crude protein and 5.6% lipid) supplemented with menhaden fish oil at levels of 0, 3, 6, and 9% for 15 wk. Dietary fish oil levels did not significantly influence growth performance of catfish. Fatty acid compositions of whole-body and liver refl...

Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is a freshwater fish that widely cultivated in Indonesia. Production cost of farming activities spend 60-70% on the use feed. Therefore, feeding must be effective and efficient so catfish can make good it for its growth. The addition an exogenous enzyme form papain increase efficiency feed utilization. purpose this study was to determine effect growth survival sangk...

The ubiquity and fascinating nature of animal aggregations are widely recognised. We report here consistent and previously undocumented occurences of aggregations of a giant alien freshwater fish, the Wels catfish (Silurus glanis). Aggregative groups were on average composed of 25 (± 10 SD, ranging from 15 to 44) adults with estimated average total biomass of 651 kg (386 - 1132) and biomass den...

The present study was conducted to determine the bacterial contamination and prevalence of foodborne pathogens in imported frozen fish. A total of 450 imported fish samples [65 catfish (Pangasius pangasius), 45 mirgal (Cirrhinus mrigala), 135 tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), 50 carfoo (Cyprinus carpio), 75 Rohu (Labeo rohita), 35 milk fish (Chanos chanos) and 45 Mackerel (Rastrelliger brachysom...

World aquaculture production is dominated by omnivorous fish species that live in freshwater, including various carp and catfish species. Soybean meal is a prominent ingredient used in prepared diets for these species, often constituting 50 to 60% of the total formulation. Such levels of incorporation are possible due to adequate palatability of soybean meal and its excellent nutritional value ...

Outbreaks of columnaris disease (Flavobacterium columnare) are common in wild and cultured freshwater fish worldwide. Disease occurrences, particularly those caused by virulent genomovar II isolates, in aquaculture species such as channel catfish can be devastating. In contrast to other important aquaculture pathogens, little is known about host immune responses to columnaris. Adhesion of F. co...

Catfish is one of the freshwater aquaculture commodities with a high level consumption and production in Indonesia. Disease outbreaks could occur catfish farming activities caused by pathogenic bacteria. Several species bacteria can cause disease catfish, resulting mass death. This lead to decrease food quality fishery products, especially catfish. In cultured system, occurrence diseases severe...
