A pathogen of giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, was recently recorded in a hatchery in Yogyakarta. The clinical symptom in post-larvae (PL) was a whitish appearance of the muscles in the tail. Histological examination revealed myonecrosis with massive infiltration of myonuclei and hemocytes. RT-PCR products of 850 bp were obtained when using RNA from diseased PL as a template. ...

Background and Purpose: Due to environmental and economic concerns, Bled fish-farm is interested in establishing broodstocks of native brown trout (Salmo trutta L.). Progeny would be reared and released into rivers managed by the Fishing Club Bled. In this study was performed genetic characterization of broodstock from Bled fish-farm in order to assess hybridization of native brown trout of Dan...

Fatty acids compositions were analyzed in neutral lipids (NL) and polar lipid (PL) of gonads of Nile tilapia, ayungin and African catfish to elucidate some guesses for the fatty acids requirements for broodstock. The high value detected for both C16:0, C18:1 n-9 in all samples reflects a requirement for energy metabolism during the course of gonad development. The Lower proportion of polyunsatu...

Pacific bluefin tuna, Thunnus orientalis (Temminck & Schlegel), is one of the most important commercially exploited fish species in the world, and juvenile production techniques have been developed for its culture and stock enhancement in Japan. However, recent juvenile production has often failed because of the occurrence of viral nervous necrosis caused by betanodaviruses. In this study, we e...

in this study, three different age groups of male broodstocks (4, 5 and 6 years respectively) were used to fertilize eggs obtained from nine females. the results showed that 6 year old males had maximum body weight (1766 g), total length (56.3 cm) and sperm volume (31.83 ml). results did not show significant difference in spermatocrit and spermatozoa concentration among age groups (p>0.05). our...

Abstract The fatty acid (FA) compositions of eggs from wild whitefish and captive broodstocks were investigated to estimate the FA requirements Coregonus maraena. aim this study was increase basic knowledge on nutritional needs broodstock. Whitefish two natural spawning grounds compared with that fed three commercially available feeds used in fish farms Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Wild dif...

The study examined the reproductive indices of albino and normal pigmented Clarias gariepinus fish from Katsina (KT) Yola (YY), carried out under hatchery condition. experiment compared fecundity, testes, milt volume, percentage fertilization hatchability (AA) (NN) (YY). Normal C. had highest number eggs (229,240), followed by YY (127,250) least was recorded in Albino (124,750). weights lengths...

 The Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) is considered as an endemic sturgeon of the south part of the Caspian Sea and provides the highest Iranian caviar production. Due to overfishing, degradation of the rivers conditions of the natural reproductive habitats, the fish stocks is decreasing. The immature breeders do not response to hormonal therapy at the sturgeon hatcheries as most ha...
