This study was conducted in two phases on sturgeon larvae and fingerlings produced from artificial breeding of five pairs of the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) broodstocks in Shahid Beheshti Hatchery in spring and summer 2006. Initially, 600 larvae were collected on 3 post days hatching (pdh) and 5 days after the onset of exogenous feeding. The second phase was conducted with 450 specim...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of salinity levels (0, 2, 4, 7 and 10 ppt) on growth indices, blood biochemical parameters, and body composition in rutilus frisii kutum fingerlings (initial weight 1.330.02 g) during 60 days. results indicated that the highest rates of daily growth, specific growth and weight gain per fish were obtained at the levels of 4 and 2 ppt (p0.05)...

background: biofloc technology is considered  a method that degrades organic waste by microorganisms and produces bacterial flocculation. objectives: this study was performed to evaluate of the application of biofloc technology in therearing of common carp (cyprinus carpio) fingerlings in intensive culture. methods: the experiment was designed in four treatments (commercial diet as a control, 7...

Willomitzer J.: Therapy of Major Ectoparasitoses in Grasscarp (Ctenopharyngodon idella ) Fry and Fingerlings. Acta vet., 49, 1980: 279-282. Dipping, short-term and long-term baths in solutions of common substances (potassium permanganate, formaline, common salt) currently recommended for the control of ectoparasites of the genera Chilodonella, Trichodinella and Dactylogyrus in grasscarp fry and...

Osmoregulation capabilities of two size groups (1 and 2g) of zander , Sander lucioperca, fingerlings were investigated survival rate, plasma osmolarity, sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl-) ion concentrations and cortisol level within 0, 6, 24, 72 and 240 h after abrupt transfer from freshwater to 7 and 12‰ salinity. Also, some hematological parameters were measured at 240h. The plasma osmolarity and ...

Striped eel catfish (Plotosus lineatus) are fish that live in coastal waters but there also those river mouths. This study aimed to determine the growth and survival rate of striped fingerlings at different sizes controlled media. used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments (different sizes) replications, so were nine experimental containers. The treatment A: maintenance siz...

the chromosome number and type as well as karyotype in vimba vimba persa were studied. a total of 200 larvae and 10 fingerlings of this species with an average weight of 30.2g obtained from shahid ansari fish hatchery. to arrest mitosis in metaphase, larvae under study were placed in a 0.05% solution of colchicine for a period of 6h while the fingerlings were given an intramuscular injection of...
