Fecundity and Induced Spawning of Silver Carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix by Using a Single Intramuscular Injection of Ovaprim-C at Fish Hatchery Islamabad, Pakistan

Aspects of Embryonic and Larval Development in Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix

As bighead carp Hypophthalmichthysnobilis and silver carp H. molitrix (the bigheaded carps) are poised to enter the Laurentian Great Lakes and potentially damage the region's economically important fishery, information on developmental rates and behaviors of carps is critical to assessing their ability to establish sustainable populations within the Great Lakes basin. In laboratory experiments,...

Pathogen Susceptibility of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and Bighead Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) in the Wabash River Watershed

Induced spawning of siban fish Cyclocheilichthys apogon using Ovaprim

Background: The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of Ovaprim dosage on the latency period, relative number of ovulated eggs, fertilization, hatching, and survival rates of the siban fish, Cyclocheilichthys apogon. Methods: Three dosages of Ovaprim were tested in this study, namely 0.3 ml kg-1 of broodfish body weight, 0.5 ml kg-1 body weight, and 0.7 ml kg-1 body weight, ...

Transcriptome Analysis of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) by Paired-End RNA Sequencing

The silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) is among the most intensively pond-cultured fish species and is used in the wild to counteract water bloom in China. However, little genomic information is available for this species, especially regarding its ability to grow rapidly in water, even water contaminated with high concentrations of poisonous microcystin. In this study, we performed de no...

The Effect of Different Pre-Fried Temperatures on Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Silver Carp Fish (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Nuggets

In present study the effect of different pre-frying temperatures in sunflower oil on physical and chemical characteristics of silver carp fish nuggets (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) were studied. After prepared, the fish nuggets were pre-fried in sunflower oil heated to 150, 170 and 190°C. The measurements included: the proximate composition (protein, moisture, fat and ash), physical experiments...
