A novel enzymatic method for extraction and preparation of fish collagen from swim bladder revealed the occurrence of α, β and γ bands with approximately 12.1 g/100g collagen corresponding to 89% of collagen and thus confirmed the nativity and purity of the fish collagen. FT-IR studies confirmed the retention of all three amide bands of I, II and III, and triple helixcity. UN-crosslinked and UV...

Assessing fish habitat suitability in a data-scarce tidal river is often challenging due to the absence of continuous water quantity and quality records. This study comprised an intensive field on 42 km reach which recorded bathymetry physical parameters (pH, electroconductivity, dissolved oxygen, total solids) testing corresponding levels velocity. Frequent sampling was carried out 17 90 locat...

The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome in fish plays significant roles health and disease resistance. This investigation was accomplished to enumerate, characterize identify the potential probiotic bacteria from three Indian Major Carps (IMCs), viz., rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla) mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) using culture dependent methods. Altogether, 105 pathogen-inhibitory (out of 121...
