haemato-biochemical studies in rainbow trout infected with saprolegnia were carried out under temperate climatic conditions of kashmir valley to find out the variation in blood parameters. the trial was carried out on 405 cultured rainbow trout fish ranging in length from 47.8 to 69.8 cm and in weight from 1300 to 1920 g. the same experiment was carried out on 2,70000.00 trout fish eggs from no...

present communication deals with the study of four village fish culture ponds (two wild and two managed ponds) from district hisar of haryana, india was undertaken, to correlate the water quality and biological cycles in ponds with fish production. studies have revealed that the ponds are in good trophic status. chlorides, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, biochemical oxygen demand (bod), pho...

Bycatch--the incidental catch of nontarget species--is a principal concern in marine conservation and fisheries management. In the eastern Pacific Ocean tuna fishery, a large fraction of nonmammal bycatch is captured by purse-seine gear when nets are deployed around floating objects. We examined the spatial distribution of a dominant species in this fishery's bycatch, the apex predator silky sh...

The movements, abundance, age composition and growth of bass, Dicentrarchus labrax (L.), in the Severn Estuary and inner Bristol Channel have been described from regular samples offish taken from power-station intake screens between 1972 and 1977. Bass began to move into the estuary during late August or September and reached peak abundance between September and early November. The tendency for...

in this study mercury was determined in canned tuna fish produced and distributed in iran after digestion by the standard methods of aoac. mercury contents in fish and canned tuna fish were determined by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry. the metal contents expressed in mg/kg wet weight for mercury varied from 0.017 to 0.394 (average of 0. 089) and 0.023 to 0.529 (average of 0.146)...

Elasmobranchs, the taxonomic group comprising sharks, skates and rays, play important roles in society and marine ecology but several species in this subclass are under threat.  This collection aims to be an open access hub for articles concerning all areas of elasmobranch biology and conservation. The collection is indefinitely open to further submissions and so will continue to grow as additi...

If you're even remotely up-to-date on your nutrition-for-health reading, you're well aware of the benefits of fish oil. Moreover, if you're anything like me, you've also gone to great lengths--often to no avail--to convince people that they should be taking it even if it does sound "icky." In an effort to save you and I a lot of future time and energy, I've compiled the following for you to sha...

There has been a renewed interest for larviciding during the recent decade. Although biological larvicides are considered not to be harmful non-target organisms, there is still sufficient data on effect of new long-lasting larvicide formulations such as VectoMax G combining Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis and Lysinibacullus sphaericus environment especially organisms. The present study aimed...
