In vitro nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, survival and nutrient release by the three strains of Azotobacter (Mac-27, nitrogen fixer; PS-21, phosphate solubilizer and MSX-9, a phytohormone producer) in an aquatic system using three different organic substrates (cow-dung, piggery and poultry waste/excreta) were studied. It was shown that...

Five isonitrogenous diets (1-5) with 40% protein using oilcakes as protein sources were formulated and fed to Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings maintained both under laboratory and field conditions. Water soaking of oilcakes for 24 h before incorporation in the diets helped in the reduction of antinutrient factors (phytase and tannins). Live weight gai...

To investigate the effect of scheduled meal timings on growth performance in Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings, two experiments were conducted. The first experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions and the fish were submitted to schedule meal timings (at 08:00, 12:00,16:00, 20:00, 00:00 and 04:00). A control on continuous feeding was also main...

Two test diets with and without 5% Porphyra spheroplasts (PS) were formulated using white fishmeal as the main protein source. Red sea bream Pagrus major (mean body weight 15.4 ± 0.1 g) were maintained in a flow-through system (100 L) of thermo-controlled sea water (salinity 32–34, 25°C, 8 L/min) with ordinary aeration (400–600 mL/min) under labora...

Abstract This study was aimed at understanding the enzymatic profile of three major Indian carps in managed and unmanaged polyculture systems in the Hisar district, Haryana India. The three species were catla (Catla calta), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigala (Cirrhinus mrigala). Analysis of gut contents of C. mrigala from both the ponds was significan...

The stock-recruitment relationship is biological in nature and it is evident that one affects the other. However, fish life cycle, growth, abundance and distribution is dependent on a complex relation with various biotic and abiotic variables inclusive of environmental factors. The stockrecruitment relationship and environmental influences was inve...

In vitro nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, survival and nutrient release by Azotobacter strains in an aquatic system

Managed and unmanaged (unmanaged) extensive culture fisheries systems in small village ponds in the district of Kurukshetra, Haryana, India were explored and analyzed focusing on the relationship amongst water quality, production of fish food organisms, fish yields and management actions. In unmanaged ponds, fish growth/yield and dissolved oxygen w...

The effects of changing climate on numerous commercially and ecologically important fish species including the South Pacific albacore tuna, Thunnus alalunga have been documented over the past decades. The objective of this study was to explore and elucidate the relationship of environmental variables with the stock parameters of albacore tuna. The...

Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) is one of the commercially important species of tuna in the North Pacific region. Despite the long history of albacore fisheries in the Pacific, its ecological characteristics are not sufficiently understood. The effects of changing climate on numerous commercially and ecologically important fish species including a...

Link: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/aquaculturesci Fingerlings of koi carp Cyprinus carpio (mean weight 3.0 g) were randomly distributed with a stocking density of 13 fish per aquarium. Fish were fed thrice daily on each diet containing different levels of Pyropia spheroplasts, (PS: 0, 15, 30, 45 and 78%) for 150 days. The growth performance...

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of different particle size of a diet made from Porphyra spheroplasts (PS) for short-neck clam Ruditapes philippinarum. Three experimental micro-particle diets (approximate particle diameter: diet S; 6.8m, diet M; 14.8m, diet L; 56.6m) were formulated and a condensed natural diatom Chaetoceros ca...

A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of Porphyra spheroplasts (PS) as a feed additive on growth, carcass composition and feed utilization of black sea bream. Four experimental diets with or without PS (0, 1, 3, 5% inclusion level) were formulated to determine the proper incorporation level for best growth and utilization usi...

Abstract: Spheroplasts (PS) were prepared by degradation of the cell wall of a low quality laver Porphyra yezoensis with enzymes, and were used for a new artificial diet for short-neck clams Ruditapes philippinarum. Short-neck clams in aquarium were given the PS diet or condensed natural diatom Chaetoceros gracilis for 45 days. The PS diet induced...

Milkfish, Chanos chanosfingerlings were cultured in inland saline groundwater ponds. Bamboo poles as additional substrate were used to increase the surface area of the ponds (Treated ponds). Controls, without the provision of additional substrate, were also maintained. After a culture period of 60 days, significantly (P < 0.05) higher growth was ob...
