One of the problems in sea farming is infections that cause mass mortality of crustaceans. To fight infections and improve sanitary conditions, farmers are actively using probiotic preparations. We aimed to study the effect of a new probiotic based on Bacillus toyonensis B-13249 and Bacillus...

To investigate the usefulness of encapsulation technique in aquaculture feed, 11 weeks feeding experiment was designed to check in vivo comparative efficacy of G. candidum encapsulated with alginate (Alg) alone as well as in combination with starch (Alg-S) and xanthan (Alg-X) followed by coated...

17-α methyl testosterone is a major endocrine disrupting chemical (EDCs), reported harmful effect on endocrine system of aquatic animals. To study the impact of 17-αMT on olive barb (Puntius sarana) gonad, sixty fishes were collected for in vitro experiment. Hormonal treatments were carried out 90...

Mixed hybridisation trials involving Clarias gariepinus (CG), Heterobranchus longifilis (HL), and Heterobranchus bidorsalis (HB) were carried out with success using Ovulin as inducing agent. The crossing was followed by an early growth trial using post-yolk sac larvae that lasted ten days. Latency...

The current study aims to determine the effect of four different anesthetics such as MS-222 (100 mg/L), tobacco extract (50 mg/L), propiscin (1.0 ml/L) and clove oil (40 mg/L) on the hematology and blood biochemical parameters of Labeo rohita. Blood was sampled 10 minutes after the anesthesia was...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium lactis on growth, length-weight relationship and some biological indices of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss fry. An iso-nitrogenous (50% crude protein) diet was supplemented with three different...

Scylla mud crabs are economically important portunid species for aquaculture in many countries. However, mass production of mud crabs as a supply of seafood is still difficult up-to-date. This review aimed to provide an overview of the major constraints faced in the grow-out farming of mud crabs,...

Background: The recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is a widely used, water-saving and efficient aquaculture model. However, bacterial diseases are common in farmed fish reared at high densities. Although antibiotics effectively treat these diseases, developing efficient methods to increase drug ...

Vitamin D (VD) is a steroid hormone, of which vitamin D₃ (VD₃) is the main form in fish. Fish obtain VD₃ majorly from diets, and VD₃ has been widely used in aquatic feed as feed additive. As one of the essential nutrients, VD₃ plays an indispensable role in the growth and health of fish. Due to the ...

Aquaculture provides more than half of fish destined for human consumption worldwide. In aquaculture, infectious diseases triggered by viruses are amongst the major cause of mortality of farmed fish. The cohabitation of different virus strains in the same geographical area opens the possibility to...
