The effects of temperature and salinity stress on hemato-immunological factors in juvenile Labeo rohita fed normal or elevated levels of tryptophan were studied. Fish were fed diets with 0.35% (control), 0.7%, or 1.4% tryptophan for 60 days, then exposed to temperature and/or salinity stress for the next 30 days with the same feeding regime. The specific growth rate (SGR) was significantly redu...

Randomly selected 320 fingerling of Labeo rohita were collected from Faheem fish farm, Mattital Road, Multan. Groups of 40 fish each were exposed to subleathal concentration of imidacloprid (120 mg L-1) under short (2, 4 and 8 days) and long term (16, 32 and 64 days) conditions to access the effect of this most extensively used pesticide on the body composition parameters of economically most i...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of traditional Bengal culinary practice on heavy metal content four carp species (Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Fish samples were collected from seven different farms located in Rajshahi district Bangladesh. processed cooked a currying method concentrations five metals (Pb, Co, Cr, Cd, Ni)...

Microbial quality of Labeo rohita, Cyprinus carpio and Clarias batrachus collected from the markets Kathmandu valley was evaluated. 9 freshwater fish (skin, gills, intestine) were sampled analyzed for Total Plate Count (TPC), Coliform (TCC) Fecal (TFCC). The average TPC ranged 4.1 x 107 to 1.02 108 cfu/gm, with highest count in C. lowest carpio, whereas organ wise load intestine 1.3 cfu/gm skin...

The experiment was conducted in two earthen ponds to investigate the body composition, and fatty acid profile of carps along with growth performance by using rice polish as fish feed with urea and ammonium nitrate fertilization of pond. Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Mori (Cirrhinus mrigala) were stocked in the ratio of 1:2:1 respectively with total number of...

Histopathological studies were conducted on carp fingerlings of Labeo rohita, Catla catla and Cirrhinus cirrhosus during October 2003 to May 2004 from fish farms of Mymensingh area. Monthly samplings were done with 10 fish from each species with the help of seine net. Skin, muscle, gill and liver were collected, processed and stained in Haematoxylin and Eosin. Histologically carp fingerlings of...

The distribution pattern of exocrine pancreas in Labeo rohita besides its general location along the course of intestinal mesentery was studied. It is evenly distributed within the liver around portal vessels and also within the spleen near a blood vessel. On ultrastructure, two cell types of different degrees of staining intensities containing abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria...

Fish a protein, vitamin rich and fat deficient diet is considered as a vital brain food. Aquaculture has emerged to provide nutritional and food security to people. The three Indian major carps, namely, catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) are the major contributor of Indian aquaculture production. The use of probiotics in aquaculture is becoming increasingly ...
