Marine algae have been visualized as fostering a prevalent actuation of bioactive substances that have noteworthy therapeutic effects. The current investigations deployed a trio of separate drying methods, i.e., oven drying, freeze drying, and sun drying, to quantify the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and dietary vital...

Seaweeds have become the focus of experts in recent years due to their biological characteristics and the variety of uses they have for both humans and animals. Biochemical composition, amino acids, fatty acids, and phenolic components were analyzed to explore the nutritive value of Gracilariopsis longissima, Padina tetrastromatica, and Ulva intest...

Coilia dussumieri, regularly referred to as the goldspotted grenadier anchovy, is a ray-finned fish species that pertains to the Engraulidae family. Estuaries and maritime waters bordering Bangladesh, Myanmar, and India are home to it. On top of that, it can be found from Thailand south to Java and the Malay Peninsula. Any species' genetic features...

Seaweed is known to empower a mass embodiment of bioactive compounds with potent health convenience. Current perusals intended to explore the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant dynamism of red seaweed, Gracilariopsis longissima as pervaded by different solvents and solvent fractions (methanol, ethanol, acet...

In this study, the nutritional and phytochemical components of red seaweed, Gracilariopsis longissima, were assessed in relation to the effects of various drying methods (freeze, oven, and sun). Gracilariopsis longissima's proximate composition differed significantly (P < 0.05) among the three drying techniques, with freeze-dried samples having sig...

An experiment was carried out to identify the peak breeding season of Hilsa in Bangladesh using gonadal histology through the standard procedure. A total 480 Samples were collected from Meghna River, Chandpur,

The current study was carried out to estimate the range and average number of ova (eggs) released by a female Hilsa shad (Tenualosa Ilisha) individual during the breeding season, as well as to establish a relationship between Fecundity (F) and Total Length (TL), Total Weight (TW), Gonadal Length (GL) and Gonadal Weight (GW). The fecundity of T. Ili...

It is crucially important to provide a sufficient food supply to ensure food security in the context of an increasing global population, shrinking cropland, and changes in the environment. The availability of adequate nourishment is important for both human and animal health. A strong dietary protein source is animal products, particularly their pr...

This study was conducted to assess the growth and survival of seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790) fry reared in brackish water ponds of Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Riverine Sub-Station, Khepupara, Patuakhali from August 2021 to March 2022. Nine ponds each containing 40 decimals (1614.4 m2) were used in this experiment. Three stockin...

Research was carried out to investigate the impact of bamboo raft models (shapes) and water depths on the growth and production of the red seaweed, Gracilaria tenuistipitata. The bamboo raft models of a square (1.5 m x1.5 m) and a triangular raft (1.5 m x1.5 m x 1.5 m) with three different water depths i.e., surface (0 m), 0.5 m, and 1 m were used...

Oyster and mussel farming along the coasts and the desire to increase fishing revenue have created a boom in these types of farms. An experiment on culture of edible oyster (Saccostrea cucullata) and green mussel (Perna viridis) was performed at Gangamoti estuary in Kuakata, Bay of Bengal coast of Bangladesh from December 2021 to March 2022 to find...

Clarias batrachus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a popular food fish of Indian sub-continent due to its high nutritional value. Earlier many workers have carried out studies on feeding and breeding biology of this fish species but convulsive information on the same is not available. So, a survey of published literatures on the induced breeding of C. batrachus...

Seaweed aquaculture, the quickly growing global food production segment, provides plenty of options for mitigating and adapting to developed-world conditions. In Bangladesh, the rise of seaweed cultivation gives hope for increasing incomes in fishing villages. The effect of stocking density (1, 2, 3, and 4 Kg/m2) and water depth (surface, 0.5 m, an...

Mariculture could be a new horizon in Bangladesh, and seabass is one of the most promising species. This paper goes into detail about seabass culture techniques and their future potential. Two culture methods have been prominent: Nursery to grow out culture and cage culture in coastal water. The study's main finding is that cannibalism occurs, resu...

The current study was carried out to estimate the range and average number of ova (eggs) released by a female Hilsa shad (Tenualosa Ilisha) individual during the breeding season, as well as to establish a relationship between 19 Gonadal Length (GL) and Gonadal Weight (GW). The fecundity of T. Ilisha was determined by studying the ovaries of 20 indi...

An experiment was carried out to determine the length, weight, and Length-Weight Relationship of mature hilsa, Tenualosa ilisha, in Bangladesh to better manage the fish species. Total 480 Samples were collected from Meghna River, Chandpur, from July 2012 to June 2013 and Tentulia River, Barisal, from June 2013 to June 2014. Total length (TL) was me...

Hilsha shad (Tenualosa ilisha, Hamilton 1822) is the most commercially important and national fish of Bangladesh, belongs to the family of Clupeidae of the Clupeiformes. The study was conducted to identify the seasonal gonadal cycles through histological study and the peak breeding season combining histological and Gonado Somatic Index (GSI). One h...

Aims: The study aimed to develop brood stock of Magur (Clarias batrachus), artificial breeding and seed production under captive condition using growth hormones in north-eastern Bangladesh. Study Design: Fifteen pairs of brood Clarias batrachus were used in this experiment. Brood fishes were reared up to maturation for spawning operation in the far...
