Abstract Scope This study aimed to assess the antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and acetylcholinesterase activities of fruiting bodies (FB) mycelium (M) extracts Morchella esculenta L . collected from various regions Pakistan. The samples included Skardu body (SKFB) mycelia (SKM), Malam Jaba (MJFB) (MJM), Krair Mansehra (KMFB) (KMM), Thandiani (TFB) (TM). Methods results IC 50 values for free radical scavenging activity all revealed that SKFB MJFB M. are significantly involved in relieving...
The current study aimed to assess the effects of various selenium(Se) sources on growth performance, blood biochemistry, and antioxidant status intensively reared silver carp. For this, (N = 420) fingerlings with an average body weight 13 ± 1.5 g were randomized into 21 aquariums (20 fish/100 L aquaria) was subjected one seven dietary treatments under completely design. control(C), 0.5 mg/kg sodium selenite(N-0.5), 1 selenite(N-1), Se methionine(M-0.5), methionine(M-1), yeast(Y-0.5),...
A 90-day study was conducted to investigate the effects of substituting sunflower oil (SFO) for fish (FO) on various parameters in Labeo rohita (initial weight 18.21 ± 0.22 g). Five experimental diets with different levels SFO (up 7%) substitution FO (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) were formulated, ensuring equal nitrogen lipids. The results indicated that even 100% FO, there no significant differences (P>0.05) observed growth performance. survival rate (SR), hepato-somatic index (HSI),...
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of water hyacinth as aquafeed for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Fish were stocked in eight glass aquaria at 20 fish per aquaria. Three iso-proteinous diets (30% crude protein (CP)) prepared with addition different parts sun-dried hyacinth, that is, whole plant meal diet (WPM), leaf (LM) and root (RM), along control diet. Results revealed significant (P ≤ .05) differences weight gain length among treatments. Higher observed LM lower...
The present study was aimed at the assessment of potential effect selenium, supplemented in feed, on hematological profile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) while maintaining certain physicochemical parameters water. Three doses differing merely selenium contents viz. 2, 4, and 8 mg Se/kg fish feed were formulated bearing mind apiece dose as an independent treatment. Four cemented rectangular tanks (triplicated) used after proper disinfection to ensure sustainable culture environment. 15 per...
β-glucan is a well-documented feed additive for its potent immunostimulatory properties in many farmed fish species. This study examined how it can also be promising growth promoter, modulate antioxidant enzyme activities, and act as an anti-stress agent striped catfish ( Pangasianodon hypophthalmus ). A 12-week feeding experiment was untaken to determine the effects of dietary supplementation at graded levels (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 g kg -1 Measured indicators suggest that inclusion level gave...
Arsenic (As) is one of the most harmful pollutants in water bodies which accumulate animals and bio magnify from lower trophic level to higher causing imbalance physiological phenomenon, leading retarded growth mortality. Fish an important resource healthy protein poly-unsaturated fatty acids for human diet, it must be free contaminants metal toxicants. However, presence various metalloids like arsenic aquatic environment significantly impart change fish meat quality making unfit consumption...
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of selenium nanoparticle (Se-NP) supplementation on growth performance, carcass composition, antioxidant status, hepatic enzyme activities, and immunity Cirrhinus mrigala . For this purpose, fish with an average initial weight 7.44 ± 0.04 g were fed five experimental diets containing 0 (control), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 mg kg -1 Se-NPs for 90 days. The analysed (Se) contents 0.35, 0.64, 0.92, 1.43, 2.39 Twenty randomly distributed in each 5...
The current study evaluated the efficacy of Moringa oleifera leaf extract in mitigating histo-biochemical alterations Labeo rohita caused by arsenic. A medical plant (Moringa oleifera) known for its numerous pharmacological qualities, was added to three different diets at 0, 2, and 4 % level, prepared mixing M. with basal diet. 96 hr lethal concentration arsenic 20.25 mg L
Antibiotic resistance has become alarming to public health.The present study aimed investigate the multi-drug (MDR) of Escherichia coli (E.coli) in farmraised fish.A total 216 diseased fish samples from different farms were screened for E. coli.Molecular confirmation was done with Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using uspA gene.All positive isolates subjected eight antibiotics.Antimicrobial sensitivity performed via Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method.Antibiotic genes; blaSHV blaTEM, blaCTX-M,...
The objective of this study was to optimize the organic selenium (Se) requirements intensively reared silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). A total n = 300 juveniles 11.40±0.52 cm long, and average weighing 25.28±0.18 grams were randomly assigned 15 aquaria (20 fish/100L aquaria) subjected five different dietary Se levels in a completely randomized design. diets pelleted supplemented with exogenous methionine @ 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 1.2 mg/kg diet. fourteen days acclimatization given fish...
The bullseye snakehead (Channa marulius) is considered as an affordable and robust freshwater fish for farming in Asia. However, there limited knowledge on the species' full nutritional requirements to date with extensive gaps our particularly precision aspects of protein requirements. Therefore, a three-month feeding trial was conducted under semi-intensive conditions determine requirement using test diets containing 40 (P40), 45 (P45), 50 (P50), 55% (P55) crude levels. growth performance...
The aim of the current study was to evaluate toxic effect silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) on biochemical biomarkers, immune responses, and curative potential effects vitamin C E grass carp. Fish (n = 420) with an average initial body weight 8.045 ± 0.13 g were shifted glass aquaria (36 x 18 inches, filled 160-L tap water) in triplicates. Aquaria randomly designated as A, B, C, D alone Ag-NPs (Control (0), 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 mg/L) E, F, G + Vit. (0.25+0.25+0.25, 0.50+0.50+0.50, 0.75+0.75+0.75...
