Medicinal plants contain bioactive compounds that boost fish immunity and offer an effective chemical compound alternative. The present experiment aimed to study the effect of Tinospora cordifolia leaf powder on common carp (Cyprinus carpio), evaluating growth performance, hemato�biochemical indices, and serum antioxidant-enzymes activity. The f...

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is the main species of carp being cultured in mid and southern Iraq. The consumer believes that the farmed fish is less nutritious than the wild fish, which affects its market value. The current study was designed to investigate the nutritional value of the common carp cultivated in the Basrah province based on the...

The salinity of the Shatt al-Arab River is determined by the volume of freshwater entering the river from tributaries and on the tidal forces from the Arabian Gulf. The implementation of hydrological projects by upstream countries has led to a reduction in the freshwater discharges reaching the Shatt al-Arab. The decrease in freshwater volume in th...

The present study aims to assess the status of the carp culture industry in Basrah governorate, south of Iraq. The survey revealed that the cage culture is the appropriate and preferred method in the study area. Feed, severe water quality and quantity problems are the main limiting factors for the aquaculture sustainability in Basrah. There are man...

Background / Purpose: Adding carbohydrates as a source of energy in fish diets could reduce diet cost and lower the organic pollution resulting from the catabolism of protein compounds in intensive aquaculture systems. It is known that fish have poor regulation over blood glucose levels. Trivalent chromium is essential to maintain carbohydrate me...
