The study was designed to isolate and characterize the collagen from skin, scales and fins of Cyprinus carpio and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix. For this purpose nine fishes of each species of three weight groups were collected and categorized as W1 (250-500 g), W2 (501-750 g) and W3 (7511000 g). The maximum skin protein content was recorded as 28.13% and 29.13% in C. carpio and H. molitrix, resp...

Five exotic carp species viz. Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Cyprinus carpio var. specularis, Cyprinus idellus, Cyprinus carpio var. communis and Puntius gonionotus were examined for parasitic diseases out of which 793 fishes were infected by 3 protozoan (Trichodina sp., Ichthyophthirius sp. and Chilodonella sp.), 2 monogenean (Gyrodactylus sp., Dactylogyrus sp.), 2 trematoda (Gorgotrema sp., Met...

The study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of food borne trematode infections in commercially important fish species of Pakistan such as, Labeo rohita (rohu), Cirrhinus mrigala (mori), Catla catla (thaila), Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (silver carp). For this purpose 222 different samples of fishes were collected from different water bodies i.e. Rawal Dam, Islamabad, Mangla Dam (Mirpur) ...

Comparison of protein, fat, ash and dry matter content common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. silver Hypophthalmichthys molitrix fillet

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of traditional Bengal culinary practice on heavy metal content four carp species (Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Fish samples were collected from seven different farms located in Rajshahi district Bangladesh. processed cooked a currying method concentrations five metals (Pb, Co, Cr, Cd, Ni)...

The present study was conducted to reveal a histological analysis on the gills of Labeo rohita and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix specimens were observed to reveal the histo-pathological characteristics of the gills of these freshwater carps. The histological examination of the gills of Labeo rohita revealed the proliferation of bronchial tips, shortening and fusion of secondary gill lamellae, des...

The present Study proposed to evaluate the body composition of Catla catla and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix collected from southern Punjab, Pakistan. Collected fishes samples werebrought fisheries lab for further analysis. mean value water, fat, protein ash as water is 75.1%; Ash in wet dry weight 4.07 16.4; Fat 5.2 20.8; Protein content 15.62 62.66 respectively C. catla. ranges 77.27%; 4.20 5.2...

The experiment was conducted in two earthen ponds to investigate the body composition, and fatty acid profile of carps along with growth performance by using rice polish as fish feed with urea and ammonium nitrate fertilization of pond. Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Mori (Cirrhinus mrigala) were stocked in the ratio of 1:2:1 respectively with total number of...
