This paper highlights the present status and genetic improvement strategies for endemic and exotic carp species of Bangladesh, including future plans. In this country, both major and minor endemic and exotic (introduced) carps are the key species for aquaculture, particularly for polyculture. There are at least 13 endemic species of carps: among them 4 major carps (catla, rohu, mrigal and calba...

Percocypris pingi is a near threatened cyprinid species, which has suffered a dramatic decline due to anthropogenic factors. As one response to this decline, hatchery release for P. pingi has been conducted in the lower reaches of the Yalong River since 2012. To understand the conservation status of this species and the potential impact of the release of hatchery-reared fish, we studied the gen...

Two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems are normally used for in vitro experiments. These have some drawbacks which affect results of experiments because cultured cells different morphology and physiological properties comparing to vivo models. Therefore, there current technique develop three-dimensional (3D) closer the environment real tissues. In our study, we polycaprolactone fiber scaffol...

An interesting property for many probiotic strains is to exhibit antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, the of potentially strain Lactobacillus acidophilus L12 Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella sp. was examined in vitro through co-culturing with each 72 h. When cultured individually, all reached a final population always exceeding 10 12 cfu/mL....
