Catfish is often consumed as a breaded and battered fried product; however, there is increasing interest in breaded and battered baked products as a healthier alternative. Par frying can improve the texture properties of breaded and battered baked products, but there are concerns about the increase in lipid uptake from par frying. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of differe...

Gelatins from the skin of four different species of fresh water fish, namely pangas catfish (Pangasius pangasius), Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus), striped snakehead (Channa Striata), and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) have been successfully extracted by citric acid. The gelatin from pangas catfish was found to possessed the highest rheology properties compared to the others. I...

Pollution affects aquatic systems worldwide and there is an urgent need for efficient monitoring. Fish are generally sensitive to their environment and are thus considered to be valuable bioindicator species. The African Sharptooth catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is particularly important in this respect because of its very wide distribution. In order to use C. gariepinus as a bioindicator species...

Bacteriophage Listex P100 (phage P100) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service for Listeria monocytogenes control on both raw and ready-to-eat food products. In this article, we present the proof of concept on the influence of phage dose, phage contact time, and storage temperature on the listericidal activity...

A study was carried out to evaluate the probiotic activity of Bacillus subtilis G1 isolated from fermented pickles in growth performance and disease resistance of Hemibagrus nemurus fingerlings at Universiti Putra Malaysia. The probiotic was mixed in feed at doses of 0 (C, control), 3 x 109 (T1) 3 x 107 (T2) and 3 x 105 (T3) cfu g-1 and fed to the catfish fingerlings for nine weeks. Results sho...

We give a detailed statement of a KAM theorem about the conservation of partially hyperbolic tori on a fixed energy level for an analytic Hamiltonian H(I,φ, p, q) = h(I, pq;μ) + μf(I, φ, p, q;μ), where φ is a (d − 1)−dimensional angle, I is in a domain of R, p and q are real in a neighborhood 0, and μ is a small parameter. We show that invariant whiskered tori covering a large measure exist for...

a. Evaluate efficacy of catfish pituitary extract on spawning induction of pinfish. b. Evaluate dosing of catfish pituitary extract on spawning induction of pinfish. c. Compare human chorionic gonadotropin and catfish pituitary extract on the spawning induction of pinfish. d. Evaluate commercial rotifer enrichments and their effects on larval survival and growth. e. Evaluate larval feeding regi...

has become common in farmraised channel catfish. It can kill a few dozen fish over several days, or up to 100 percent of the fish in less than 3 days. Recurrence in the same pond is rare. From 1991 to 1995 PGD was the fourth most commonly diagnosed disease of catfish in the southeastern U. S., occurring in one out of every ten disease cases. This disease causes catfish to suffocate because of t...

A new claroteid catfish, Notoglanidium peinbetadi, is described from the Kouilou-Niari River basin (Republic of the Congo). This species can be distinguished from all other currently known Notoglanidium species as well as from the very similar Anaspidoglanis boutchangai, to which two specimens have erroneously been attributed in the past, by the following combination of characters: II, 10-13 do...

Catfish is one of the most important aquaculture species in America (as well as in Asia and Africa). In recent years, the production of catfish has suffered massive financial losses due to pathogen spread and breakouts. Innate immunity plays a crucial role in increasing resistance to pathogenic organisms and has generated increasing interest in the past few years. This review summarizes the cu...
