In the fish farming business, feed is highest operational cost, which reaches more than 60% of total production cost. Therefore, can be processed independently to reduce costs in aquaculture businesses. This study aimed determine survival rate and efficiency red tilapia (Oreochromis sp) fed artificial with addition seaweed (Gracilaria sp). research was carried out from June September 2021 at In...

Wastewater effluent from aquaculture ponds can affect aquatic ecosystems. To mitigate this problem, we designed 2 sets (southern and northern) of land-based and farm-scale sequential integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems in order to reduce water pollution and to diversify and optimize aquaculture products in coastal southern Taiwan. In each system, the 1st pond cultivated milkfish...

BACKGROUND Seaweeds are taxonomically diverse benthic algae, which are rich in bioactive compounds. These compounds have a potential application in medicine. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the bioactive properties of three seaweed samples, Enteromorpha antenna, Enteromorpha linza and Gracilaria corticata were collected from the shoreline of Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu. MATE...

The main aim of the study was to evaluate the various minerall and heavy metals parameters of seaweeds present in the south coastal line. The five red seaweeds namely Acanthophora deliei, Scinaia furcellata, Porphyra tenera, Gracilaria verucosa and Hypnea species were collected from the Pamban, South east coast India. These samples were analyzed for its mineral contents such as sodium, potassiu...

OBJECTIVE To isolate the active fraction from crude extract of Gracilaria changii and to determine its in vitro antifungal activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The active fraction was isolated from the crude extract of G. changii by various purification procedures such as column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, bioauthograph etc. The in vitro antifungal activity (Candida albicans) of the...

Potential antioxidant properties of an aqueous extract of the edible red seaweed Gracilaria tenuistipitata (AEGT) against oxidative DNA damage were evaluated. The AEGT revealed several antioxidant molecules, including phenolics, flavonoids and ascorbic acid. In a cell-free assay, the extract exhibited 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity that significantly reduced H₂...

Epiphytic and endophytic bacteria associated with green macroalgae Ulva (U. fasciata and U. lactuca) and red macroalgae Gracilaria (G. corticata and G. dura) have been identified from three different seasons to evaluate the effect of quorum sensing (QS) molecules on carpospores liberation from Gracilaria dura. The bacterial isolates belonging to the orders Bacillales, Pseudomonadales, Alteromon...

Congracilaria babae was first reported as a red alga parasitic on the thallus of Gracilaria salicornia based on Japanese materials. It was circumscribed to have deep spermatangial cavities, coloration similar to its host and the absence of rhizoids. We observed a parasitic red alga with morphological and anatomical features suggestive of C. babae on a Hydropuntia species collected from Sabah, E...
