an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biogen probiotic additives on growth performance of common carp, cyprinus carpio. four practical diets containing 0 (control) , 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % biogen probiotic were used to feed fish. seventy-two juvenile common carp (65 ? 3.5g) were randomly distributed between 12 fiberglass tanks of 500 l capacity. during 60 days of feeding trial, the...

A 10-week feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding level, energy and protein maintenance requirement of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, fingerling (5.65±0.45cm; 1.42 ±0.25g) by feeding casein-gelatin based purified diet (45% CP; 3.67 kcal  g-1 GE) at six feeding levels 2-7% of BW/day in two equal meals, at 0800 and 1700 h, in triplicate, with 20 fish per trough fi...

this research was conducted to evaluate alteration of growth performance, nutrition, carcass and some serum biochemical parameters of common carp fed the diets supplemented by different levels of meal and alcoholic extract of alfalfa (medicago sativa). in this research, 300 fish (mean weight: 20.4 ± 0.19 g and mean length: 11.78 ± 0.64 cm) were fed by nine nutritional diets for 8 weeks. nutriti...

Doubling time (DT) is widely used for quantification of tumor growth rate. DT is usually determined from two volume estimations with measurement time intervals comparable with or shorter than DT. Clinical data show that the frequency distribution of DT in patients is positively skewed, with some very long DT values compared with the average DT. Growth rate can also be quantified using specific ...

The study was conducted for 134 days. Common carp fry (60g ± 0.3g) were fed using two different diets containing only plant protein sources, without any animal protein inclusions. Diets were administered by two different methods: an automatic band feeder (diet 28/7 F and 28/15 F) for 12 hours a day (9.00 a.m. – 9.00 p.m.) and by hand (diet 28/7 H and 28/15 H) once a day (at 9 am). Weight, Speci...

this study evaluated the effects of 0.25% activated charcoal added to sesame seed meal (ssm) in partial replacement of soybean meal (sbm) of juvenile clarias gariepinus diet on growth and haematological parameters for 70 day experimental period. six experimental diets were formulated as: control diet 1 (100% ssm without activated charcoal), control diet 2 (100% ssm plus 0.25% activated charcoal...

The ecological forecasting of microorganisms and water quality dynamics in Krasnoyarsk reservoir is based on knowledge of dependence of specific growth rate (SGR) on limiting substrata. It investigated the influence of soil extract on the growth autochtonic bacterioplankton of Krasnoyarsk reservoir. The maximum SGR and Michaelis-Menten constant (on chemical oxidation decomposition (COD) permang...

We examined the effects of 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) on growth and induced sex change in the longtooth grouper Epinephelus bruneus. The growth rate for body weight (GRW) and specific growth rate (SGR) of the group injected with MT over 8 weeks were significantly higher than those of the sham-injected control group, the group injected over 4 weeks, and the control group. Of the orally administ...
