the objectives of this work was to examine the toxicological effect and molecular changes caused by a heavy metal pollutant mercuric chloride (hgcl2), in fresh water snakehead channa punctatus, locally known as taki fish in bangladesh. when fishes were exposed to hgcl2, it induced death of the fishes in a concentration-dependent manner. 1 mm, the highest concentration tested in this study, was ...

One of the nutritional problems of hospitalized patients is hypoalbuminemia. Hospitality malnutrition data in Indonesia shows that 45% -50% of patients suffer from hypoalbuminemia, some of whom are at life-threatening level. In an effort to help patients with hypoalbuminemia is albumin administration in form of Human Serum Albumin (HSA), which until recently is still an expensive choice. Snakeh...

Snakehead fishes of the family Channidae are predatory freshwater teleosts from Africa and Asia comprising 38 valid species. Snakeheads are important food fishes (aquaculture, live food trade) and have been introduced widely with several species becoming highly invasive. A channid barcode library was recently assembled by Serrao and co-workers to better detect and identify potential and establi...

Seven polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the snakehead murrel, Channa striata (Channidae), a valuable tropical freshwater fish species. Among 25 specimens collected from Kedah state in Malaysia, the number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.120 to 0.880 and 0.117 to 0.698, respectively. A single locus (C...

The present paper deals with the piscicidal and muricidal (mice killing effect) activities of latex extract of Euphorbia royleana against freshwater snakehead fish, Channa punctatus and Swiss albino mice Mus musculus. Calculated values of lethal concentration (LC and LC ) showed that latex extract is toxic 50 90 against both the experimental animal. The toxicity of latex extract against freshwa...

Snakehead fish or Channa Striata is a type of freshwater that has high economic value in Indonesia. Aims this study was to evaluating the effect adding different protein sources snakehead feed on growth, blood glucose levels, and albumin content (Channa Striata). This consisted 3 treatments each given 6 replications. Treatment A: Use made from nilem flour. B: golden snail flour C: earthworm The...

The survival rate of snakehead fish (Channa striata) is low. Provision natural food during the phase and growth larvae very important. Artemia a for freshwater marine which has high nutritional value, but lacks vitamin A. Enrichment techniques are needed to increase value Artemia. aim this study was compare rates, rates fed feed enriched with Snakehead were reared 16 days given A (with 1,000 IU...

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) were analyzed in 12 tissues of prey (mud carp) and predator (northern snakehead) fish from an e-waste area, South China. The TBBPA concentrations in different tissues ranged from 0.03 to 2.85 ng/g wet weight (ww) in mud carp and 0.04 to 1.30 ng/g ww in northern snakehead. The concentrations of HBCDs ranged from 0.07 to 96.9 ng/g ...

Aquatic animals are important to health-conscious consumers due to their high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) particularly omega-3 FA. This paper reports the fat contents and fatty acid profiles of 20 species of marine fish and 6 species of squid and shrimp (obtained in the fishing port of Pattani, Thailand), in addition to 7 types of Thai freshwater fish to create a fatty acid da...

We described a next generation sequencing (NGS)-based approach to identify sex-specific markers and subsequently determine whether a species has male or female heterogamety. To test the accuracy of this technique, we examined the snakehead (Channa argus), which is economically important freshwater fish in China. Males grow faster than females, and there is significant interest in developing met...
