A simple method has been developed for the isolation of Acid Soluble Collagen (ASC) and Pepsin Digestible Collagen (PDC) from the skin of Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), Dog shark (Scoliodon sorrakowah), and one among Indian Major Carps ie, Rohu (Labeo rohita). Biochemical characterization of the collagen extracted was carried out. On wet weight basis the yields of ASC and PDC from shark skin...

Eugene Massachusetts Ins Cambridge, SUMMARY A program was written to solve calculus word problems. The program, CARPS (CAlculus Rate Problem Solver), is restricted to rate problems. The overall plan of the program is similar to Bobrow's STUDENT, the primary difference being the introduction of "structures" as the internal model in CARPS. Structures are stored internally as trees, each structure...

Two 90 days experimental trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of artificial diet (35% protein) on sensory quality of yearlings of Indian major carps (Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala and Catla catla). Experimental diet was given at 3% of fish wet body weight per day. After 90 days trial organoleptic study of fried fish was carried out by twelve panelists using hedonic scale for each spec...

metals bioaccumulation in five organs of cirrhinus  mrigala , labeo  rohita and catla catla captured from three industrial and sewage polluted downstream sites (shahdera = b, sunder = c and balloki = d) were compared with a non-industrial upstream site (siphon = a) during high (post monsoon) and low (winter) flow seasons of river ravi. mean concentrations of metals were significantly higher in ...

Caudal neurosecretory system is an additional neuroendocrine system found in fishes. Great variation has been observed among different groups of fishes, so far its organization is concerned. Much work has been undertaken on the caudal neurosecretory system of elasmobranchs and teleosts. large size scattered Dahlgren cells in the posterior end of spinal cord, corresponding to last few vertebrae,...
