An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary commercial prebiotic A-Max, a mixture of mannan oligosaccharides, fructo oligosaccharides and β glucan, on growth and hemato-immunological parameters of great sturgeon (Huso huso) juveniles. After acclimation, fish (initial weight of 28.79±0.85 g) were placed into 12 tanks (30 fish per tank). Basal diet (containing 44%...

Sensory characteristics of Thai fish sauces is one of the most important factors of consumer perception. This study aims to characterize sensory properties of Thai fish sauces, and to categorize Thai fish sauces based on the sensory properties. Twenty samples composing of 12 commercial Thai fish sauces (P) and 8 commercial Thai mixed fish sauces (M) were collected. Generic descriptive quantitat...

Some bacteria can produce extracellular bacterial cellulose (BC). This polysaccharide is chemically identical to cellulose produced by plants but has no associated lignin and hemicelluloses. The unique mechanical properties, chemical stability and purity allow BC to be exploited for a range of biomedical applications. However, medium costs limit commercial BC production. The suitability of usin...

Fish species can be identify using target strength (TS) model. The result of model compared with result from in situ measurement as benchmark. Selarboops (Oxeyescad) as commercial fish from South China Sea has been used. Lateral and dorsal X-ray of fish has been deployed to perform fish body and swim bladder morphology and then divided into a number of pieces for Kirchhoff-Ray Mode (KRM) model ...

Trials of a computer vision machine (The CatchMeter) for identifying and measuring different species of fish are described. The fish re transported along a conveyor underneath a digital camera. Image processing algorithms: determine the orientation of the fish utilising a oment-invariant method, identify whether the fish is a flatfish or roundfish with 100% accuracy, measure the length with a s...

Farmed and wild samples of two weight Cirrhinus viz., 501-900 g and 901-1300 g of Cirrhinus mrigala were collected from a Commercial Fish Farm and from river Chenab at Trimu Head Jhang, respectively. The extracted residues were pesticides analyzed through reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. Endosulfan α, p, p’-DDT, methamidophos, carbofuran, diazinon, parathio...
