Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) made by green synthesis offer a variety of biochemical properties and are an excellent alternative to traditional medications due their low cost. In the current study, we synthesised AgNPs from leaf extract medicinal plant Uvaria narum, commonly called narumpanal. The were characterised ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) transmission (TEM). SEM analysis showed highly...
A disease outbreak was reported in adult koi, Cyprinus carpio from a fish farm Kerala, India, during June 2015. The clinical signs were observed only recently introduced and an existing population of did not show any or mortality. Microscopic examination wet mounts the gills affected koi revealed minor infestation Dactylogyrus sp. few koi. In bacteriological studies, opportunistic bacteria isolated fish. histopathological necrotic changes and, importantly, virus particles demonstrated...
DNA barcoding was successfully used for the accurate identification of chondrichthyans in Indian commercial marine fishery. About 528 specimens 111 chondrichthyan species and 34 families, collected from EEZ, were barcoded a 655 bp region mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI). Generally, five per barcoded, but numbers ranged 2 to 13. The average Kimura parameter (K2P) distance separating individuals within 0.32%, genera 6.73%. Ten suggested as putative new requiring formal...
Aenigmachanna mahabali, a new species of troglophilic snakehead is described on the basis single specimen recovered from well in Kerala, India, over 200km south type locality for only known genus. The can be distinguished its congener possessing fewer dorsal fin rays (53 vs 56-57), total vertebrae (61 64), scales lateral series (76 83-85) and pectoral-fin being extended beyond margin membrane into filaments.
Asian seabass or barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is an important food fish with commercial value and a wide geographic distribution. Though some reports based on molecular and/or morphological data exist, comprehensive effort to establish species identity across its range lacking. In order address this issue especially ascertain whether the wide-spread distribution has resulted in bifurcation of species, we collected samples from various locations representing Western Eastern Coastline India,...
Mitochondrial cytochrome C Oxidase I (COI) sequence variation among the clariid fishes of India (Clarias magur, C. dussumieri and gariepinus) their relationship with other representative clariids was studied in this work. Three species were sampled together 23 COI sequences from GenBank used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships family Clariidae. The study revealed two clades: one consisting African dussumieri, Asian suggesting prevalence intra-continental diversification catfishes. This...
In this study, a new cell line derived from the caudal fin of freshwater angelfish Pterophyllum scalare was developed and characterized. The designated ( AFF ) subcultured 44 times since its development. These cells grew well in Leibovitz's −15 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine saline FBS at 28° C modal chromosome number (2 n 48. cell‐line is mainly comprised epithelial as confirmed by immunocytological technique using anti‐cytokeratin antibodies, an marker. This tested for growth...
Groupers are important commercial fish in many parts of the world. Accurate identification is critical for effective conservation assessment and fisheries management. Genetic barcodes provide a simple reproducible method species even absence taxonomic expertise. The generation reference from properly identified specimens an first step this direction. Here, 36 belonging to subfamily Epinephelinae (Family: Serranidae) were collected landings on west coast India Port Blair, Andaman, partial...
Silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus is an economically important seafood species. The fishery resource of pomfret in Indian waters shows a dwindling catch since the last few years and pomfrets caught were mostly undersized which calls for immediate attempts management resources. An accurate definition population structure this genetic stock P. distributed along coast was identified using analysis 842 bp complete ATPase 6/8 genes mitochondrial DNA. Altogether, 83 silver (P. argenteus) collected...
Genetic variations between Channa punctatus populations collected from three rivers of south India were examined using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Sixty samples each population collected. Genomic was isolated the blood samples. Out 20 primers tested, six used for genetic variation studies. A total 42 RAPD bands in C. by primers. The number observed ranged 34 Quilon to 37 Thirunelveli population. Among populations, highest identity (0.9231) found and populations. results...
A fibroblastic-like cell line was established from the ornamental fish, red-line torpedo (Puntius denisonii). The fin (RTF) is being maintained in Leibovitz's L-15 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for over 1 year at 28 °C on a continuous basis normal atmosphere. growth rate of RTF cells increased as FBS proportion 5% to 20% optimum concentrations FBS. morphology predominantly fibroblastic like. Propagation these lines dependent, low plating efficiency (<15%). Karyotyping...
