In order to utilize silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), which is abundant and very cheap fresh-water fish in China, defatted silver carp muscle was hydrolysed by compound protease to achieve angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides. The protein hydrolysates were fractionated into low and high molecular weight fractions using an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane system. The ACE...

Literature reviews of all references concerning the parasitic fauna of fishes in fish farms of Babylon province, middle of Iraq, showed that a total of 92 valid parasite species are so far known from the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), and the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) as well as from three freshwater fish species (Carassius auratus, Liza...

Fish farming is the only type of aquaculture in Serbia. Fish farming is mostly carried out in cyprinid and salmonid (trout) fishponds (over 95% of the total fish produced), with considerably lower ichthyoproduction being practiced in cages and some bodies of open water such as reservoirs and channels. Serbian aquaculture currently includes 12 fish species, 4 of which are allochthonous (non-nati...

Recently, commercial nanometer sized silver is extensively used for its antibacterial effect; however, nanoparticles may also have ecotoxicological effects after being discharged into aquatic ecosystems. Nanometer sized silver can flow into water ecosystems, where it can exert a variety of physiologically effects in aquatic animals, including fish. The current research aimed to examine the effe...

some biochemical properties of silver carp surimi prepared by application of acid-alkali aided methods were investigated and compared to that of derived by conventional method. in terms of total protein solubility and recovery, lipid reduction, and total pigment extractability and myoglobin removal there was a significant (p
