mehg and total mercury concentrations were determined in the muscle tissues of four fish species (cyprinus carpio, rutilus frisii, carassius auratus and esox lucius) from anzali wetland (guilan, iran). fish with the highest amount of mehg was selected to determine the thermodynamic parameters of mehg extraction. the extractions process was performed in the range of temperatures 331.15 to 367.15...

physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. the results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. the highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

a series of two experiments was conducted to study the optimum dietary protein level and protein to energy ratio of lemon fin barb hybrid larvae. in experiment 1, five isocaloric diets (4700 kcal per kg) ranging from 40 to 60% protein in 5% increments were fed to triplicate groups of lemon fin barb hybrid larvae (initial weight: 0.10 ± 0.01 mg per fish) for 21 days. weight gain of fish was prop...

a random block experiment 4×4 with sixteen diets containing four level of protein (35, 40, 45 and 50%) at four carbohydrate to lipid level (1.7, 1.4, .1 and 0.8 ) were designed to research about the ability of utilization of different levels of protein and carbohydrate to lipid ratios diet for juvenile huso huso ( 5.4 ± 0.2, mean sd )in fourteen weeks. fish fed 2-3% of body weight at each day. ...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different dietary protein (30, 35, 40%) and lipid levels (10, 12, 14%) on growth performance and physiological changes of juveniles caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum). six hundred and seventy five fish (1.15 ± 0.01 g) were distributed into 27 aquaria (45 l) and were fed four times daily for 8 weeks. interaction between protein and lipid di...

A thermoplastically extruded snack was produced from different blends of corn grits and silver carp minced meat. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the effect of fish meat content and to optimize the feed composition. Fourteen treatments from central composite design considering minced fish content (0-3 kg) and corn (7-10 kg) were used as the independent variables. The expansi...

the response of clarias gariepinus to paraquat dichloride, a herbicide that is in high demand in the fragile niger delta ecological zone was investigated. the herbicide had been detected in most of the water bodies in the region. the fishes were exposed to the range of concentrations observed in the field (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) µg/l for 28 days, conducted under the organization for economic co-oper...
