acute toxicity test on common carp weighing 18 grams and length 12 cm was performed. with concentrations of 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 ppm measured at 0, 24, 48 and 96 hours were considered for commercial diesel . processing data using spss software and statistical analysis probit analysis was performed with a confidence level of 95%. the common carp no deaths...

an 84-day feeding trial was carried out onfingerling (4.44 ± 0.06 g) rainbow trout (oncorhynchusmykiss, walbaum, 1792) to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with a commercial prebiotic grobiotic®-a (g-a) on the growth, feed efficiency, haematology and immunlogical parameters. ttreatments containing various inclusions of g-a (0 %, 0.5 %, 1.0 %, 1.5 %, 2.0 %, 2.5 %, and 3.0 %) were ad...

Enrichment of live foods by essential nutrients such as highly unsaturated fatty acids is an important tool for improvement of larval fish quality. In this study, nutritional effects of Artemia urmiana enriched by fish and plant oils on growth, survival rate, body compositions and resistance against thermal, salinity and hypoxic stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. Six ...

There is great need to identify simple yet reliable indicators of fishing effects within the multi-species, multi-gear, data-poor fisheries of the Caribbean. Here, we investigate links between fishing pressure and three simple fish metrics, i.e. average fish weight (an estimate of average individual fish size), fish density and fish biomass, derived from (1) the parrotfish family, a ubiquitous ...

This study examined the effects of feeding of two dietary probiotics on growth performance and feed utilization, intestinal colonization and related health criteria, biochemical parameters, hematological indices, and immune parameters and protection against Yersinia ruckeri in Oncorhynchus mykiss during a period of 56 days. The study included 3 groups:1(a control group of fish, 2) a group of fi...

This article deals with the importance of finfish that are not sold on any market. We detail two major points of view: the ecological significance of larvae and juveniles for future harvests, and the importance of subsistence fisheries as a food supply, particularly in the tropics. In the first case, we show that larvae and juveniles of many commercially important species are linked to estuarin...

Fish meal and fish oil replacement has been the focus of very significant research efforts and hundreds of scientific papers in recent years. Despite years of research, fish meal and fish oil remain very important, quasi essential, components of successful commercial feeds for most fish and crustacean species. This generally has an impact on the feed and production costs for many aquaculture pr...
