The aim of this study is to determine the level of cadmium contamination in various organs of Snakehead-fish (Ophicephalus striatus). The detected levels of Cd were tested for genotoxic potential in snakehead-fish (SSN-1 cells) cell line by micronucleus assay. To evaluate the SSN-1 cells as a model for genotoxicity study, various concentrations of cadmium were applied to the cells, and the cadm...

Empirical studies suggest that changes in the density of top predators, such as carnivorous fish, freshwater food webs, strongly affect not only fish communities but also various primary and secondary consumers. Based on these findings, we explored how differences utilization (i.e., Northern Snakehead, Channa argus) by humans affected cladoceran community structure well settlement exotic specie...

—Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against the snakehead rhabdovirus (SHRV) were produced. These MAbs were characterized by immunofluorescence and neutralization tests, and by their ability to immunoprecipitate viral proteins. Of 15 MAbs developed, 9 were isotyped as IgGl and 6 were IgG2a. Eight of the MAbs recognized the viral glycoprotein in an immuno precipitation assay. Three of these, ...

This community service aims to encourage fish farming groups by making snakehead feed that has economic value. The method of implementing this was through socialization and training. partners in activities were the Mina Jaya Abadi Fish Cultivation Group (Pokdakan) Peresak Village West Lombok Regency. evaluation carried out giving a pretest posttest, which then been analyzed descriptively. resul...

The study was carried out to identify muscle protein patterns and gut protease activity of rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla), climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) spotted snakehead (Channa punctatus). Twelve percent Polyacryleamide substrate SDS-PAGE done visualize the enzyme after casein hydrolysis pattern species. Three alkaline proteases different molecular weight were observed in rohu...

there are many freshwater snails involved in the life cycle of parasitic flukes. some of these animals, such as bulinus spp and lymnaea spp are very important in public health and veterinary medicine. for example, bulinus trucatus and lymnaeid snails transmit human bilharziosis and zoonotic fascioliosis, respectively. for this reason most freshwater bodies of northern iran, were searched for po...

The spotted snakehead Channa punctatus is a seasonally breeding teleost widely distributed in the Indian subcontinent and economically important due to high nutritional value. The declining population of C. punctatus prompted us to focus on genetic regulation of its reproduction. The present study carried out de novo testicular transcriptome sequencing during the four reproductive phases and co...
