Abstract: Tagelus adansonii has served as man’s food around the world from time immemorial. However, the aquatic ecosystem in which they live is constantly polluted. Microbial and proximate compositions and energy value of T. adansonii were evaluated as indices for food safety and biomarker of pollution. Standard microbiological techniques and stand...

Abstract: Length-weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (k) of the black chin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron (Rüppel, 1852) from Forcados River estuary Nigeria was investigated. The fish were collected monthly from fishermen for a period of 24 months (between April 2012 and March 2014). 699 specimens of the fish species were collected. The ...

Abstract: Ganga is the most prestigious river of India. The COVID-19 lockdown may have forced us to stay indoors, but it has been boon for pollution-ridden Ganga and Yamuna. Plankton is tiny organisms drifting with water current, influenced by river physical and chemical factors. During lockdown anthropogenic factors were reduced which affected wate...

Abstract: Present review article explains the dietary and nutritional value of various fish derived natural food products. Fish is a good source of important nutrients such as proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Fish oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) mainly omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA...

Abstract: The experiment compared the physical characteristics of aqua feed with crude or gelatinized tapioca starch as sources of energy. The bulk density (BD), water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), pellet durability index (PDI) and water stability (WS) were measured in both experimental diets. The results showed significant v...

Abstract: Anchored fish aggregating devices (AFADs) have been widely used for fishing in Thai waters. However, abandoned, lost, and discarded fishing gears (ALDFGs), including lost AFADs, may cause environmental impacts. Fishing gear marking (FGM) is considered as a tool to help identification of ALDFGs. The main objective of this study is to compare the...

Abstract: During the parasitological examinations of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio, L. 1758) from the Gradche Reservoir (Macedonia), a total of 126 fish samples were examined, from which parasite infestation was determined in 87 fish (69.05%). In this research, the following parasitic copepods were identified: Ergasilus ...

Abstract: The baseline study profiled Black-chin Tilapia (Sarotherodon. melanotheron), a fish farm pest species in Bataan, Philippines, in terms of yield (processing and fillet), proximate composition (moisture, ash, crude fat, and crude protein), heavy metal load (cadmium [Cd], lead [Pb], arsenic [As], and mercury [Hg]), a...
