The current investigation was undertaken to study the gill histopathologies due infestation of helminth parasite, monogenetic trematode, Dactylogyrus vastator (Nybelin, 1924) in Indian major carp, Catla catla. There were only symptomatic samples diseased fishes comprised fingerlings and adults catla collected examined. Behaviour respond studied- partial suffocation, lethargic swimming clinical ...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nucleotide binding and oligomerization domain (NOD) receptors are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and play crucial role in innate immunity. In addition to PAMPs, PRRs recognize endogenous molecules released from damaged tissue or dead cells [damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)] and activat...

The research investigated the impacts of inclusion of column feeder rohu (Labeo rohita) on growth and production in freshwater prawn-carp-mola polyculture system for a period of 172 days. Four stocking densities of Rohu were maintained as 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 ha -1 in treatment R500, R1000, R1500 and R2000, respectively in triplicates. All ponds each 120 m 2 were stocked with juvenile fr...
