Remarkably low genetic variation but high population differentiation in the climbing perch, Anabas testudineus (Anabantidae), based on the mtDNA control region.

Diet variation in climbing perch populations inhabiting eight different types of ecosystems

The present study revealed that populations of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) inhabiting river, backwater, shallow water channel, ponds with and without vegetation cover, marsh, sewage canal and aquaculture tank varied significantly in the number of food items consumed. Chironomous larvae, organic debris and filamentous algae were the common ingredients of the menu of this species across f...

Investigation of Biological Characteristics of Anabantidae Family with emphasising on the Anabas, Sandelia Genus

The family Labyrinthine fish or Anabantidae belongs to the order Perciformes.This family, also known as Climbing Perch, includes 33 species, It belongs to the genus Anabas, Ctenopoma, Sandelia and Microctenopoma, which has spread throughout Africa and Southeast Asia.Some of them are said to be able to climb and move up, and because they are able to breathe from the atmosphere, they are easier t...

Growth performance and survival rate of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) fed Daphnia sp. enriched with manure, coconut dregs flour and soybean meal

The objective of the present study was to determine the best material for enhancing nutritional value of Daphnia fed to climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) larvae. The study was conducted at Laboratory of Marine and Fishery Faculty, Syiah Kuala University, Indonesia in July 2015. The completely randomized design was used, this study was conducted with three enhancer materials; chicken manure, c...

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

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...
