parasitic diseases are harmful and limiting factors in breeding and rearing ornamental fish industry. in this study, 400 apparently healthy ornamental fishes from five species (each species 80 specimens) including: goldfish (carassius auratus), guppy (poecilia reticulate), angelfish (pterophyllum scalare), discus (symphsodon discus) and sailfin mollies (poecilia latipinna) was obtained from a l...

Hand cream is used for rehydrating and improving skin properties. The skin is the first point of contact with the environment. Thus having healthy skin with proper barrier properties is quite important. The beneficial effects of fish oil on skin make it a favorable ingredient to be used in hand care products. In the present study, the efficacy and stability of various hand cream formulations us...

One of the simplest methods for short-term handling and storage of fish is the refrigeration in combination with dip treatments. This study was conducted to determine the effect of pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatments on lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets. Trout fillets were dipped in α-tocopherol acetate solutions (200 and 500 mg kg-1 flesh) and subsequently s...

this study pursued the molecular identification of fish species from processed products for human consumption which, a priori, belonged to nine species. dna barcoding using direct sequencing of about 650 bp of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit i (coi) revealed incorrect labeling in the three alaska pollack samples (11% of all samples). substitution of fish species constitutes se...

studies on reproductive biology are essential to assess culture potential of a fish species. mystus tengara is a popular food fish as well as preferred as an ornamental fish in west bengal. till date detailed report on reproductive biology of this fish species in the agro-climatic context of west bengal is lacking. therefore, the present work was aimed to study the detailed reproductive biology...
