The objective of this project is to compare growth and survival rate in Chinese carps reared under traditional culture conditions versus those reared in ponds treated with slurry (anaerobic fermented of cow manure). This experiment was conducted using two treatments one treatment using slurry and the other using cow manure plus chemical fertilizer as the control with three replicates for each....

ALMAS A GHEYAS PhD THESIS, INSTITUTE OF AQUACULTURE ii ABSTRACT Carp aquaculture in South Asia suffers severely from a lack of genetic management, which has eroded the genetic quality of both captive and wild populations. Use of molecular markers, especially microsatellites, has revolutionized genetic management of hatchery stocks through its ability to detect kinship between individuals and he...

Asian carp eggs are semi-buoyant and must remain suspended in the water to survive, supported by the turbulence of the flow, until they hatch and develop the ability to swim. Analysis of the transport and dispersal patterns of Asian carp eggs will facilitate the development and implementation of control strategies to target the early life stages. Experimenting with Asian carp eggs is complicate...

The paper presents brief biological characteristics of the main objects pond farming carp, white silver mottled carp and their interspecific hybrids. food value chemical composition fathead meat its use as raw material in production essential low-calorie foodstuffs are given.

PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) were used to explore the relationship between eukaryotic plankton community succession and environmental factors in two aquaculture pond models with gibel carp Carassius auratus gibelio. The main culture species of pond 1 were gibel carp and grass carp, and the combined density was 46224 fingerling/ha...

This study evaluated the ability of fennel extract to improve the quality of refrigerated minced silver carp over a period of 16 days. Minced silver carp were treated with fennel extract (0.5, 1 and 1.5% w/w), and beta-hydroxy toluene (BHT 200 ppm). The control and the treated fish samples were analyzed periodically (every­4 days) by chemical analysis (Peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (...

Invasive Asian bighead and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and H. molitrix) pose a substantial threat to North American aquatic ecosystems. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA), genetic material shed by organisms into their environment that can be detected by non-invasive sampling strategies and genetic assays, has gained recognition as a tool for tracking the invasion front of these spec...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of probiotic (bacillus latrospores and bacillus licheniformis) on growth and survival of silver carp larvae (hypophthalmichthys molitrix). rotifers (brachionus plicatilis) were used as live prey vehicle for probiotic transport. they were cultured in sea water with 15 ppt salinity and nannochloropsis oculata microalgae was used as feed. five trea...
