Summary Production of Thai fish paste Ka‐pi‐plaa fermented using beardless barb, Cyclocheilichthys apogon was monitored. The physicochemical, microbiological and antioxidant properties were compared after each process, that is autolysis, salting, sun‐drying fermentation. Colour parameters L* decreased while a* b* increased during production ( P < 0.05). finished product presented an intense ...

Construction of cascade dams has been shown to have impacts on fish assemblages and biodiversity. Yet, there is no literature in the Murum River that connects cascading Bakun Sarawak, Malaysia. Hence, study this modified ecosystem necessitated better understand effects dam construction fauna. For this, samples were caught at five stations located along river during both dry wet seasons. Environ...

Metacercariae were recovered from freshwater fish taken from a stream in Lum Cha Muak, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeast Thailand during the year 2000. Seventy-nine cyprinoid fish comprising 3 species (52 Puntius leiacanthus, 22 Cyclocheilichthys armatus, and 5 Hampla dispar) were collected. The prevalence of infection with metacercariae was 51.9%. Only two genera of metacercariae were foun...

BACKGROUND Prevalence of Opisthorchis viverrini, Schistosoma mekongi and soil-transmitted helminths (STH) remains high in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), despite control efforts including mass-drug administration, education and communication campaigns. New approaches are required to advance helminth control. METHODS An ecohealth study was conducted on two Mekong islands in Souther...

The plainfin midshipman fish, Porichthys notatus, is a seasonally breeding species of marine teleost fish that generates acoustic signals for intraspecific social and reproductive-related communication. Female midshipman use the inner ear saccule as the main acoustic endorgan for hearing to detect and locate vocalizing males that produce multiharmonic advertisement calls during the breeding sea...
