this study was conducted to determine the residues of mercury (hg), lead (pb), copper (cu) and cadmium (cd) in the imported tilapia fillets. thirty random samples from imported tilapia fillets were collected from different markets in isfahan city, central iran. they were analyzed using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer (perkin elmer 800) for pb, cu, cd and flow injection mercury s...

The article considers a method to obtain environmentally friendly aquaculture products (red tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus × Oreochromis niloticus) by adding the probiotic preparation Ecoflor balanced mixed feed. component of formed several strains bifid and lacto bacteria gives prepa-ration ability improve intestinal microflora fish, activate immune system, remove unfavorable metabolic produ...

Nile tilapia is a high-demand commodity in most developing countries including the Philippines, but its production hampered by fluctuating water temperature (WT) and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations, which are mostly influenced warming. Net shading has been demonstrated to reduce pond increase rate of spawning cultured tilapia. The current study aimed investigate potential effects on qualit...

SYNOPSIS. Certain teleost fish have large anatomically discrete islet organs called Brockmann bodies (BBs). When transplanted into streptozotocin diabetic athymic nude mice, tilapia BBs provide long-term normoglycemia. This has afforded us the opportunity to examine tilapia islet in vivo function in a non-piscine environment and compare this with in vivo function in the donor species. As expect...

An experiment on integrated walking catfish-tilapia culture was conducted for 5 months. The walking catfish were stocked at 400 and 800 fish/cage in two 4-m nylon cages, which were suspended in each of two 250-m earthen ponds. Sex-reversed male tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were reared at 1 fish/m2 in the open pond. Whereas the catfish were reared with supplemental feed, tilapia were solely d...

UNLABELLED Tilapia are an important global food source due to their omnivorous diet, tolerance for high-density aquaculture, and relative disease resistance. Since 2009, tilapia aquaculture has been threatened by mass die-offs in farmed fish in Israel and Ecuador. Here we report evidence implicating a novel orthomyxo-like virus in these outbreaks. The tilapia lake virus (TiLV) has a 10-segment,...
