Vitamin D is an essential fat soluble micronutrient that helps in growth, bone development, calcium homeostasis and other metabolic process. The study on effect of vitamin D3 in marine fish larvae were very scarce irrespective of species. The present study determines the impacts of dietary vitamin D3 on growth performance, calcium absorption, miner...

A 421 bp fragment of stanniocalcin gene was amplified in rohu (Labeo rohita). The partially characterized stanniocalcin gene of Labeo rohita is 96% homologous to Sinocyclocheilus rhinocerous stanniocalcin-like mRNA and 95% to Cyprinus carpio stanniocalcin-like mRNA, respectively. The sequence of partially characterized Stanniocalcin was submitted t...

This study assessed the responses of vitamin-D3 intraperitoneally injected to Rohu, Labeo rohita @ of 0 IU/kg bw (only solvent), 100 IU/kg bw and 500 IU/kg bw reared in 20 and 40 ppm of calcium (Ca) enriched water. The cellular changes in Corpuscles of Stannius (CS) gland, serum Ca, and inorganic phosphate (Pi) level were analysed up to the 60th da...

Marine debris accumulation in the ecologically sensitive areas such as mangrove ecosystems, disturbs the ecosystem processes and the biodiversity. Mangrove ecosystems are structurally complex, which facilitates the accumulation of debris within it over other coastal ecosystems. In spite of this, very few studies have been undertaken to assess the d...
