As aquaculture increasingly seeks sustainable alternatives to traditional feed ingredients such as fishmeal and fish oil, Moringa oleifera, an eco-friendly and widely available plant, has emerged as a promising plant-based feed ingredient. This review synthesizes research from 1988 to 2024, sourced from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Research Gate, to...
This study investigated the effects of commercial probiotics on the growth, feed utilization, hematology, innate immunity, and disease resistance of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus). One gram of each locally available branded commercial probiotic, Pro-1, Pro-2, Pro-3, and Pro-4, was incorporated into commercial fish feed to prepare treatment die...
There are about 33,000 different species of fish and they are visually identified using variety of traits, i.e., size and shape of body, head's size and shape, skin pattern, fin pattern, mouth pattern, scale pattern, and eye pattern etc. In traditional manner, identifying these fish species is always difficult with necked eye. Identification and de...

Throughout history, animals have been a vital source of protein and energy and have been utilized in agriculture to produce food for human consumption. The increasing global demands for protein are being met through the increased production of meat, milk, eggs, and other food items, and is facilitated by the rapid pace of industrialization. However...
Determining the most appropriate stocking density for a specific fish species in an ambient condition is essential for successful cage aquaculture in terms of profitability which is mainly governed by growth. The current study was conducted to ascertain which stocking density gives the best result of widely cultured species in cage aquaculture, pan...
