The objective of this study was to examine how the respiratory metabolism of the snakehead Channa argus changed when it shifted from breathing water to breathing air, and how increased metabolic demands caused by temperature, feeding, and exhaustive exercise affect its survival in air. The results demonstrated that the oxygen consumption rate (MO2) of the snakehead was lower for aerial respirat...

One of the commodities freshwater fish species that live in swamps and rivers have high economic value is snakehead fish. In addition to having value, it also has a albumin content various functions for health so very useful medical industrial world. Snakehead rich albumin, which an important type protein. There 60% protein plasma found blood increase endurance, able regulate water balance cell...

Efficient management and prevention of species invasions requires accurate prediction of where species of concern can arrive and persist. Species distribution models provide one way to identify potentially suitable habitat by developing the relationship between climate variables and species occurrence data. However, these models when applied to freshwater invasions are complicated by two factor...

An experiment was conducted in eighteen 200-m2 fertilized earthen ponds at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, from March through October 2000. This experiment was designed to assess the efficiency of snakehead (Channa striata) in controlling recruitment of mixed-sex Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in ponds and to assess growth and production characteristics of Nile tilapia in mon...

Members of the genus Vesiculovirus, which belongs to the family Rhabdoviridae, can cause great economic loss in fish culture. In the present report, a vesiculovirus [named snakehead fish vesiculovirus (SHVV)] was isolated from diseased hybrid snakehead fish. SHVV shared 94 % nucleotide sequence identity at the genomic level with Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV), which infects mandarin fish ...

fed to farm cats, which are major reservoir hosts for fishborne liver and intestinal trematodes. Infections (prevalence 8.3%) in snakehead fish (Channa spp.) also represent a food safety risk, because snakehead fish are cultured in Vietnam and are sometimes eaten raw or inadequately cooked. In addition to O. viverrini flukes, metacercariae of the zoonotic intestinal flukes Centrocestus formosan...

Bioactive peptides produced from enzymatic hydrolysis fibrous protein have been proven to have several biological activities. Previous study showed that the hydrolysis product of snakehead fish skin collagen with 26 kDa collagenase from Bacillus licheniformis F11.4 showed HMG-CoA (HMGR) inhibition activity. The aim of this research was to determine the ability of the hydrolysis product produced...

beasts breathe air, walk on land, grow to gigantic size, and attack humans. Although many of these rumors were overblown, these species do pose a serious threat to invaded ecosystems and are listed as “injurious wildlife” under the Federal Lacey Act. All 28 snakehead species have the ability to breathe air--and some must breathe air or die—which allows them to survive in low oxygen conditions. ...

Introduction: Wound healing is an integrated response to tissue injury. A hyperglycemic state can lead delayed wound process. Snakehead fish (Channa striata) native freshwater of South East Asia that contains high protein, albumin, and several micronutrients. The aim this study evaluate the efficacy snakehead extract on acute process in streptozotocin-induced rat...

A phylogeographic study of an economically important freshwater fish, the striped snakehead, Channa striata in Sundaland was carried out using data from mtDNA ND5 gene target to elucidate genetic patterning. Templates obtained from a total of 280 individuals representing 24 sampling sites revealed 27 putative haplotypes. Three distinct genetic lineages were apparent; 1)northwest Peninsular Mala...
