PURPOSE: Empirical swim speed data are needed to manage invasive bigheaded or “Asian” carps (Figure 1). However, such data are limited within the scientific literature. The large size and active temperament of the carp combined with current legislative restrictions concerning transport, make them difficult to acclimatize and test in traditional laboratory swim tunnels. Biologists from the Engin...

A seventy-five-day feeding study was performed to investigate the usage of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal as an alternative protein source in carp diets (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, experimental fish were fed with four different (fish meal-based without Black (BSFL) (BSFL0), 50% (BSFL50), 65% (BSFL65), and 75% (BSFL75) substitution BSFL), triplicate. The carps (1.045±0.0...

Purpose: To determine species composition and localization of anisakidosis pathogens, infestation fish in the Zaporizhzhia NPP cooling reservoir, identify trends their compared to monitoring epizootic studies last year. Methodology. In course work, we used generalized results conducted summer autumn 2021. The ZNPP reservoir as well parasites Anisakidae family were determined. carried out using ...

An experiment on the polyculture of carps with high valued small indigenous fish species (SIS) pabda (Ompok pabda) and gulsha (Mystus cavasius) was carried out in six months culture period to evaluate the production performance of carp with small indigenous fish pabda (Ompok pabda) and gulsha (Mystus cavasius) in the on-farm condition. Three stocking densities of pabda and gulsha were tested, k...

Several reviews and meta-analyses have demonstrated the incontrovertible benefits of statin therapy in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). But the role for statins in primary prevention remained unclear. The updated 2013 Cochrane review has put to rest all lingering doubts about the overwhelming benefits of long-term statin therapy in primary prevention by conclusively demonstrating hig...

Kinetoplastids are unicellular, eukaryotic, flagellated protozoans containing the eponymous kinetoplast. Within this order, the family of trypanosomatids are responsible for some of the most serious human diseases, including Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi), sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma brucei spp.), and leishmaniasis (Leishmania spp). Although cAMP is produced during the life cycle stages ...
