The myostatin (MSTN) is a known negative growth regulator of skeletal muscle. The mutated myostatin showed a double-muscular phenotype having a positive significance for the farmed animals. Consequently, adequate information is not available in the teleosts, including farmed rohu carp, Labeo rohita. In the absence of experimental evidence, computational algorithms were utilized in predicting th...

Volatile organic compounds in farmed and wild rohu, Labeo rohita, were extracted by Likens-Nickerson concurrent distillation apparatus. The farmed raised rohu of two weight categories designated as FW1 (1001-1200g) and FW2 (501-700g) were procured from the Fish Seed Hatchery, Faisalabad. Concurrently, wild rohu of two weight categories designated as WW1 (1001-1200g) and WW2 (501-700g) were capt...

Several species of fresh water fish including common carp (Cyprinus carpio), rohu (Labeo rohita), mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are being farmed in India in order to meet the increasing demand for fresh fish. Among the fresh water fishes, rainbow trout is farmed in many parts of India. Worldwide, farmed trout production is increasing. The demand for trout in...

Characteristics and functional efficacy of digestive proteases of Catla catla, catla, Labeo rohita, rohu and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, silver carp were studied. Total protease activity was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in rohu (1.219 ± 0.059 U mg protein min) followed by silver carp (1.084 ± 0.061 U mg protein min), and catla (0.193 ± 0.006 U mg protein min). Trypsin activity of silver car...

The number, shape and sizes of intermuscular bones have been studied in table size (around 1200g). rohu, catla and mrigal after microwave cooking and dissection. Carp intermuscular bones have varied shape and size. These bones are of two types, Y pin bones and straight pin bones. Total number of pin bones are highest in mrigal (110 nos.) followed by catla (108 nos.) and rohu (104 nos.). Y pin b...

The research investigated the impacts of inclusion of column feeder rohu (Labeo rohita) on growth and production in freshwater prawn-carp-mola polyculture system for a period of 172 days. Four stocking densities of Rohu were maintained as 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 ha -1 in treatment R500, R1000, R1500 and R2000, respectively in triplicates. All ponds each 120 m 2 were stocked with juvenile fr...

Breeding performance of stunted rohu Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) was compared with normally reared rohu. Randomly selected and normal fishes were tagged together in a single earthen pond for broodstock development. Both groups exhibited growth enhancement during the development period, though found larger size than fishes, after rearing period. Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) female indicated simil...

Background: Feed cost mainly constitutes 40-60% of total aquaculture production expenses, due to the inclusion expensive animal-derived ingredients feed industry. Studies suggested that herbivore and omnivore fish species can consume higher level carbohydrate (150–300 g/kg starch) as compared carnivore fish. However, lower utilization in fishes is less understood till date. In present work, It ...

Bangladesh has made significant progress in social and economic development recent years, but micronutrient deficiencies poor dietary diversity remain a challenge. This paper developed five scenarios to explore futures of fish supply-demand using the AsiaFish model, with special emphasis on role macronutrient supply address nation's malnutrition nutrition security challenges. A business-as-usua...
