Trials were conducted to determine effects of AQUI-STM sedation during harvest (rested-harvest) on physiological responses and fillet quality of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Rested-harvest is defined as application of an anesthetic immediately before harvest to reduce fish activity associated with a normal harvest. Doses of 25–35 ppm AQUI-STM were effective for rested-harvest of catfis...

Channel catfish virus disease (CCVD) is a highly pathogenic herpesvirus disease of cultured channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, fry and fingerlings. The disease is confined to the southern United States, but occurs sporadically in other areas where young channel catfish are intensively cultured. Blue catfish, I. furcatus, have been experimentally infected with CCV, but other ictalurids appear...

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure the yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco), an important commercial aquaculture species that is widely distributed throughout China's fresh waters, could contribute to scientific management sustainable utilization this species. To characterize across China, 448 individuals from 10 locations North, Central, South China were analyzed using ...

The Koto Tangah Subdistrict, Padang is the location for implementing community service program activities in order to increase income of catfish cultivators Padang. partner this Commuonity Service Program a farming group led by Cv.Family Pisces. local has carried out business but its development faced several obstacles such as low selling price catfish. solution overcome these problems through ...

Plant proteins are plausible fishmeal substitutes but are deficient in some essential amino acids (EAA) like lysine and methionine. Combination of different plant proteins with complimentary EAA could be useful alternative. Bambaranut (Voandzeia subterranea) contains high amount of lysine while methionine is in sesame seed (Sesamum indicum). This experiment tested effects of combining sesame se...

The potential of fish to transfer salmonellae from heterogeneous aquatic biofilms into feces was assessed in controlled aquarium studies with Suckermouth Catfish Hypostomus plecostomus and with biofilms inoculated with salmonellae. Neither the presence of catfish nor inoculation with salmonellae had detectable effects on the abundance of the microbial community. Densities of the microbial commu...

The toxic implications of fresh water contamination with zinc in the catfish, Clarias albopunctatus (Lamonte and Nicole, 1927), and the effect of a co-contamination with a sub-lethal dose of glyphosate (Roundup) was studied using the static bioassay model. Thirty six fish were divided into 3 equal groups. Fish in Group 1 were placed in normal tap water, and served as the control group, while fi...

Oklahoma has about 324 ha of surface water in catfish (Ictalurus spp.) production. The state also supports a large number of migrating and wintering piscivorous birds, particularly double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus). To address concerns of aquaculture facility operators regarding loss of fish to cormorants, we asked 11 operators to conduct regular counts of piscivorous birds at e...

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channel proteins which facilitate the rapid transport of water across cellular membrane and are of fundamental importance to the control of cell volume and transcellular water traffic. In the present study using bioinformatic tools an in silico modeling and analysis of aquaporin protein sequences of catfish Heteropneustes fossilis was conducted. Primary structure ...

introduction: reverse osmosis (ro) is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from seawater to get fresh water), but since the early 1970s it has also been used to purify fresh water for medical, industrial, and domestic applications. the aim of this research was the performance study of reverse osmosis plants for water desalination in bandar-lengeh, iran. materials and method...
