The Black solider fly Hermetia illucens, larvae meal (BSFLM) is a good source of protein alternative to fish meal (FM). The quality of fish fishmeal has been challenged economically in the aquaculture feed industry. The current research was designed to identify the varying ingredient content levels of black soldier fly products (BSFP), recorded hig...

Pesticides are extensively used throughout the world in industrial, health sector for agriculture and domestic purposes. Despite beneficial effect, these pesticides when released into the environment lead to induced toxicity in a large number of non-target organisms. Some of these are non-biodegradable and are persistently present in environment le...

Forty adults of Aellurilus logunovi Azarkina, 2004 were randomly collected from scrub hills edges of district Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan and observed in a controlled environment at Zoology Lab, Women University Swabi. The study aimed to describe predatory behaviour, i.e., foraging modes, how they establish predatory responses to prey and t...

The current study was designed to determine the genotoxic effect of endosulfan at sublethal concentrations (66%, 50% and 33% of LC50, 1.5 µg L-1) in peripheral blood erythrocytes of an economically important indigenous Indian major carp Mori, Cirrhinus mrigala. A total of 180 fish were divided into four groups, each group received 45 individuals. G...

The current study was aimed to investigate the genotoxic effect of an organophosphate pesticide Malathion in the gills of a freshwater teleost rohu, Labeo rohita using alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE)/ comet assay. The 96 h LC50 of Malathion was estimated for rohu in a semi static system and was found to be 5 µg/ L. Specimens of rohu...

The present preliminary study was undertaken from April through September 2013, to find out the edible fishes of Konhaye Stream at District Dir Lower. Different types of nets and hooks were used for collecting fishes. During the study period, eleven edible fish species were identified including Schizopyge esocinus, Racoma labiata, Cyprinion watsoni...
