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 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...
Abstract The current study was performed to investigate the impact of different temperatures and protein levels on growth performance, proximate composition digestive hepatic enzyme activities Labeo rohita fingerlings. For this purpose, healthy fingerlings (average initial weight 6.40 ± 0.02 g) were acclimatized for 15 days, then reared at three (25°C, 30°C 35°C) fed crude (25%, 30% 35% (CP)) twice daily until satiation 60 days. results revealed that highest performance observed in fish...
The present study was conducted on Head Punjnad (HP) and Taunsa (HT) to evaluate the contamination of Pb, Cr, As, Hg, Cd in water, soil, sediment, fish as a whole organs. Fish, soil sediment samples were collected from different sites HT HP monthly basis for 8 months. Heavy metals determined by polarized Zeeman atomic absorption spectrophotometer organs an spectrophotometer. Contamination Cd, As significantly (P<0.05) higher water compared HT, while Cr showed non-significant (P>0.05)...
Abstract Natural herbs are excellent alternatives to synthetic compounds enhance the growth performance and health status of fish. This study was conducted evaluate efficacy black cardamom ( Amomum subulatum ) extract (BCE) as an herbal supplement in improving growth, antioxidant status, haematology, serum biochemistry Catla catla . The acclimatized fish N = 900; average initial weight 14.44 ± 0.33 g) were allocated into five groups (60 fish/group triplicate) hapas (4 × 2 2.5 ft) provided...
Fishmeal (FM) is a key component of commercial fish feeds, but due its unsustainable supply, the search for quality alternatives FM has become significant area investigation worldwide. The insect-based proteins such as black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are being recognized an alternative ingredient. However, anti-nutritional factors in these may negatively affect nutrient utilization fish. Incorporating exogenous protease enzymes feed additives could be promising way to improve digestibility...
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the optimal dietary phosphorus (P) requirement and its effects on growth performance, body composition, mineralization alkaline phosphate (ALP) activity in silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ). A total 360 fish with an average initial weight 7.0 ± 0.15 g were divided into 18 tanks (70 L capacity each) a stocking density 20 per tank triplicate. fed diets containing six levels P (3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 8.6 g/kg) up satiation for 90 days...
Plant proteins are considered most suitable to replace fish meal because they cheap, readily available, and abundant. However, plant not digested efficiently in due the presence of complex protein structures. Therefore, this preliminary study was conducted evaluate effect bromelain-fermented diets on digestive enzyme activities muscle proximate composition Labeo rohita. For purpose, healthy fingerlings with an average initial weight 10±0.2 g were procured acclimatized under laboratory...
