An experiment was conducted in nine 200-m2 earthen ponds at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand from 17 July 2003 to 3 March 2004 (230 days). The objectives of the study were to assess the feasibility of co-culture of lotus and hybrid catfish in intensively fed ponds, to assess nutrient recovery from feed waste by lotus plants, to assess pond mud characteristics after lotus-fish c...

The catfish genome database, cBARBEL (abbreviated from catfish Breeder And Researcher Bioinformatics Entry Location) is an online open-access database for genome biology of ictalurid catfish (Ictalurus spp.). It serves as a comprehensive, integrative platform for all aspects of catfish genetics, genomics and related data resources. cBARBEL provides BLAST-based, fuzzy and specific search functio...

We report sequence, tissue expression and map-position data for myogenin, MYOD1, myostatin and follistatin in three Ictalurid catfish species: channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), blue catfish (I. furcatus) and white catfish (Ameiurus catus). These genes are involved in muscle growth and development in mammals and may play similar roles in catfish. Amino acid sequences were highly conserved a...

The Batu Kumbung Fish Seed Center (BBI) is such an installation and under the auspices of Marine Fisheries Service West Nusa Tenggara Province, which was established in 1959, located Village, Linggsar District, Lombok Regency. problem that often experienced by fish farmers emergence disease attacks, one Trichodina sp. purpose this study to detect presence sp ectoparasites catfish (Clarias garie...

Optimal crop production in aquaponics is influenced by water pH and potassium concentrations. The addition of hydroxide (KOH) into the recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) may benefit increasing for better biofilter activity supplementing K plant growth quality. We investigated growth, feed conversion, body composition welfare indicators juvenile African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) treated w...

IgM like macroglobulin from bovine serum albumin (BSA)-immunized African catfish C. gariepinus was purified by affinity chromatography and partially characterized. The molecular weight of this macroglobulin was 840 kDa, as estimated by gel filtration chromatography. Purified macroglobulin was analyzed using SDS-PAGE under reducing and non-reducing conditions. The molecular weight (MW) of heavy ...
