The objective of this study was to examine how the respiratory metabolism of the snakehead Channa argus changed when it shifted from breathing water to breathing air, and how increased metabolic demands caused by temperature, feeding, and exhaustive exercise affect its survival in air. The results demonstrated that the oxygen consumption rate (MO2) of the snakehead was lower for aerial respirat...

Background: Channa striatus or better known as the haruan fish is an indigenous, snakehead, striped, air breathing freshwater fish of Malaysia and has long been consumed traditionally during post-operative and post-partum period to speed recovery. Most medical properties of the haruan are contributed to its high content of essential fatty and amino acids. This was a phase I clinical trial to ex...

Snakehead fish or Channa Striata is a type of freshwater that has high economic value in Indonesia. Aims this study was to evaluating the effect adding different protein sources snakehead feed on growth, blood glucose levels, and albumin content (Channa Striata). This consisted 3 treatments each given 6 replications. Treatment A: Use made from nilem flour. B: golden snail flour C: earthworm The...

Channa striata is considered as a potential food, because it is known to be used as the treatment of wounds, reduced pain, and as additional energy during illness. This fish is always consumed by rural peoples to having good medicinal qualities. But why this can happen need to be explored. This study was undertaken to determine the nutrients content and amino acid composition in Pasurua Channa ...

Ornamental fish keeping is a popular hobby worldwide, supporting significant global aquarium industry. Using export records of live snakeheads (Channa spp.) from India, we show six-fold increase in the numbers these (wild-sourced, freshwater) species exported worldwide between 2014 and 2019, driven by an exports West Bengal to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong. We highlight issues associated with exploi...

The genus Pallisentis has been mostly found among the freshwater fishes of Channidae family. ophiocephali is characterized with some unique characters proboscis, hooks, and spines. However, initial description a little sketchy yet not updated. present study communicates detail morphology an acanthocephalan species obtained from two host family—Channa striatus Channa punctatus—during one-year su...

histopathology on the olfactory organ of a snakehead fish, channa punctatus (bloch, 1793) were assessed after exposing the fish to 2.5 mg/l and 5mg/l of cdcl 2 for 15 days, 30 days and 45 days. cellular organization of the epithelium was affected severely with degeneration of sensory and supporting cells and hyperplasia of basal cells and mucous cells. mucous cell proliferation indicates the up...

Blood pyruvate level in the fingerlings of Channa punctatus when subjected upto 48 hours to 5.6 mg/l (a sublethal concentration) of hexavalent chromium exposure, revealed statistically no significant increase. However, a progressive significant increase in the blood pyruvate level was noticed upto 96 hours of exposure. The result may prove useful parameters to assess the hexavalent chromium tox...
