Growth and Production Performances of Crossbred Climbing Perch Koi, Anabas testudineus in Bangladesh

Handling of ferric iron by branchial and intestinal epithelia of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus Bloch).

With a view to test how the branchial and intestinal tissues of fish, the two sites of metal acquisition, utilize the water-borne ferric [Fe(III)] iron and whether the accumulation of this form of iron influences cellular Na/K gradient in these tissues, the gills and intestines of climbing perch adapted to freshwater (FW) and acclimated to dilute seawater (20 ppt; SW) were analyzed for ouabain-...

GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF SHINGI, Heteropneustes fossilis AND KOI, Anabas testudineus IN BANGLADESH UNDER SEMI-INTENSIVE CULTURE SYSTEMS

Production potential of shingi, Heteropneustes fossilis and koi, Anabas testudineus in polyculture were assessed at a stocking density of 2, 47,000 and 3, 70,500 ha-1, respectively in treatment T1 and T2. Monoculture of H. fossilis and A. testudineus was designed at a stocking density of 2, 47,000 ha-1 in treatment T3 and T4, respectively. Culture period of shingi was 120 days and koi was 100 d...

Climbing Perch Anabas Testudineus Bloch I. Oxygen Uptake and Carbon Dioxide Release into Air and Water

Assessment of EMS-induced genotoxicity in the Indian climbing perch, Anabas testudineus: cytogenetical vis-à-vis protein endpoints.

Genotoxic effects of EMS have been assessed in fish, A. testudineus, using widely accepted cytogenetic protocols like chromosome aberrations, nuclear anomalies in red blood cells and abnormal sperm head morphology. In addition, gel electrophoretic protein profiles and total protein contents in nine selected tissues were analysed for evaluating their utility as potential indicators of genotoxici...

Oxygen uptake in relation to group size in the juveniles of a climbing perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch).

The present work reports oxygen uptake in relation to group size in the juveniles (body weight: 0.70 to 1.30 g) of a climbing perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch). The experiments were conducted at 21.5 +/- 1.0 degrees C using a cylindrical glass respirometer having continuous water flow system. With an increase in the number of fish at an interval of 5 from 5 to 40 in each fourth subsequent exper...
