Breeding seasons of some commercially important fishes in Ethiopia: Implications for fish management

Commercially Important Catadromous Fish

Study and determination of fatty acid composition of some commercially important freshwater fish

Fatty acid composition of fish is one of the key factors for the evaluation of fish nutritional value and it could be different based on fish species, habitat, nutrition and etc. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fatty acid composition of five commercially important freshwater fish from the fish market. Studied fish were as follows: Barbell, Luciobarbus pectoralis (Heckel, 1843),...

The larval tapeworms (Cestodes: Trypanorhyncha) isolated from some commercially important fish of Persian Gulf

A total of 180 fish samples from three commercially important teleosts (Epinephelus coioides, Euthynnus affinis and Thunnus tonggol fish) of Persian Gulf across Hormozgan coast were investigated for plerocercoid infestation, which were sampled from Jun 2017 to September 2017. The parasites were fixed, stained, mounted on to slides and identified. Epinephelus coioides was not infested. Following...

Total petroleum hydrocarbon in the tissues of some commercially important fishes of the Bay of Bengal.

The present study reports the level of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in 27 commercially important fish, crustaceans and cephalopods from Orissa coast, Bay of Bengal to provide the baseline data for oil contamination in marine biota. The results showed significant differences in the TPH concentration in different species. Of all fish, Carangoides malabaricus showed the maximum TPH level (av....
