Channa punctatus is a freshwater fish belonging to family Ophiocephalidae. This fish is available in almost all over the country. In present communication molecular study of COI region of mitochondrial gene was done to find out intraspecific differences in genome of Channa punctatus habitating in different states of India having variable environmental conditions. Result showed minor variations ...

Pesticides have an innate capacity to cause damage to biological system. Considering above fact the present study deals with the effect of the insecticide malathion on histological and biochemical study on cardiac muscle tissue in Channa punctatus. In present study effect of sub lethal concentration (0.8 ppm) of malathion on protein, lipid and glycogen content and histopathological changes in h...

Protein banding pattern of eight snakeheads – Channa species viz., Channa striatus, Channa marulius, Channa punctatus, Channa diplogramme, Channa bleheri, Channa gachua, Channa stewartii and Channa aurantimaculata collected from different regions of India were used to study the phylogenetic relationship among them. The banding pattern from muscle protein indicated a unique profile for each spec...

Extracts and preparations made from the animal origin were used extensively in folk and modern medicine for treating many human diseases. In the present study efforts have been made to find the antimicrobial effect of the mucus of two bottom dwelling fresh water fishes namely, Channa punctatus and Cirrhinus mrigala. Fish mucus were tested against ten pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli...

Fish species may act as suitable hosts for trypanosomes. Clarias batrachus, Channa punctatus and Wallago attu were found infected with Trpanosoma batrachi , T. aligaricus, and T. attii, The vulnerable fishes were divided into six groups: Group I Clarias batrachus (IA control, IB infected), Group II Channa punctatus (IIA control, IIB infected) and Group III Wallago attu (IIIA control, IIIB infec...

background: acanthocephalans are fish parasites of worldwide distribu-tion, penetrate their thorny proboscis into the intestinal wall of host and absorb nutrients. no diagnostic tool is available except postmortem inves-tigations and identification by parasitologists. the aim of present study was to explore and assign taxonomical status to pallisentis species prevalent in food fishes of river g...

The present paper deals with the study of epizootic ulcerative syndrome on Hematological responses Fish Channa punctatus. A number fishes have been found to suffer from this epidemic disease. We are observed that decreases was due microcytic anaemia which in torn syndrome. Decrease count basophils, neutrophils and eosinophils fish punctatus malathion toxicity also observed.

Channa punctatus is the most common fish found in Indian rivers and water bodies. The present study was conducted to investigate the dilution effect of tannery waste water on the activity of serum LDH enzyme of the Indian freshwater fish Channa punctatus. The effect was observed based on the result of chronic toxicity and comparison of control with experimental groups. Tannery wastewater causes...

The present paper deals with the piscicidal and muricidal (mice killing effect) activities of latex extract of Euphorbia royleana against freshwater snakehead fish, Channa punctatus and Swiss albino mice Mus musculus. Calculated values of lethal concentration (LC and LC ) showed that latex extract is toxic 50 90 against both the experimental animal. The toxicity of latex extract against freshwa...
