The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on enhanced maturation, spawning, embryonic and larval development endangered Gangetic Mystus (Mystus cavasius). Fishes were collected from Brahmaputra River, Mymensingh, Bangladesh stocked in cisterns. Treated group provided supplemental diet enriched with 1% squid extracted lipids as a source PUFA...

The ichthyoplankton assemblage structure in the Yangtze Estuary was analyzed based on four springs in 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2007 in order to provide detailed characterizations of the ichthyoplankton assemblage in springs, examine the long-term dynamics of spring ichthyoplankton assemblages, and evaluate the influence of environmental factors on the spatial distribution and inter-annual variation...

In order to ascertain the taxonomic status of the Ariake Sea population of Japanese grenadier anchovy, Coilia nasus, and assess the contemporary possible genetic barrier between the west and east coastal waters of the East China Sea, we used amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers to detect the genetic structure of C. nasus, in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea. Eighty-one individ...

Like other organophosphates, dimethoate is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor which disables cholinesterase, enzyme essential for central nervous system function. Dimethoate insecticide can be used both indoor and outdoor purposes to eliminate a number of insect pests under different condition. Dimethoate, one the most extensively studied pesticides, may induce many significant changes in fishes...

 An analysis of eight microsatellite loci in 90 individuals was performed to define the genetic structure and variability of three estuarine populations of Coilia mystus: 30 individuals each  collected from ChangJiang River (Yangtze River) estuary-CJ, MinJiang River estuary-MJ, and ZhuJiang River (Pearl River) estuary-ZJ. The results showed polymorphic information contents (PIC) of 0.7...

Nutrition is the major crucial factor determining potential of cultured fish to exhibit its genetic capability for growth. In this study, impact dietary vitamin E supplementation feed on growth performance, conversion ratio and protein efficiency Gangetic Mystus (Mystus cavasius, Hamilton, 1822) were investigate. Total 150 number young M. cavasius (weight 33.0±10.0 g) used CRD (completely rando...

An experiment on the polyculture of carps with high valued small indigenous fish species (SIS) pabda (Ompok pabda) and gulsha (Mystus cavasius) was carried out in six months culture period to evaluate the production performance of carp with small indigenous fish pabda (Ompok pabda) and gulsha (Mystus cavasius) in the on-farm condition. Three stocking densities of pabda and gulsha were tested, k...
