Common Garden Experiments Confirm the Impact of Salinity on Reproductive Traits that is Observed in Wild Populations of the Black-Chinned Tilapia Sarotherodon Melanotheron
The black-chinned tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron is a very hardy species, particularly notable for its ability to tolerate a wide range of environmental salinities. The impact of environmental salinity on reproductive traits has been well documented in this species under natural conditions, but few studies have been experimentally conducted to prove such a relationship.
Effect of Melia Azedarach Extract on Some Selected Physiological Parameters of (Catla catla)
The present study has been carried out the effect of leaf extract of Melia azedarach at different concentration, such as 1.0g, 1.5g and 2.0g formulated diet against 0.1 ml of CFU/ ml 105 cells Aeromonas hydrophila on catla catla.
Problems and Countermeasures on the Fishery Development in the South China Sea*
The South China Sea is one of the most abundant fishery areas in the world, which is a typical multi fish species area.
A Study and Availability Assessment of Freshwater Crabs in the Hill Streams of Bangladesh
A study of crabs was conducted at eight hill streams, located in three different districts of Bangladesh, during January to December, 2012 with a view to assess the availability and to study the taxonomy of freshwater crabs.
Climate Smart Aquaculture: A Sustainable Approach to Increasing Fish Production in the Face of Climate Change in Nigeria
As the global population increases, demand for food, most especially protein will increase. Production from fisheries is crucial for food security in the face of current population increase.
Physical, Chemical, Biological properties and fish species type of Geray reservoir, -W/Gojjam Zone, Ethiopia
The aim of the present study was to determine the physical, chemical and biological characteristics and to characterize the fishery of Geray reservoir.

Decadal Variation of Dissolved Oxygen in the Lower Gangetic Delta Water
We analyzed the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level in the surface water off Namkhana, a sampling station in the lower Gangetic delta region. Our three decade analysis in three different seasons (premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon) exhibits a decrease in the DO value with the passage of time. Based on the DO value we carried out a premilinary Water Quality Index (WQI) analysis using the average seasonal temperature of the study region.
Pre-Scaling Up of Solar Tent Fish Drier in Northern and North Western Part of Lake Tana, Ethiopia
Solar tent fish drier (STFD) reduce post-harvest losses, thereby ensuring continuous availability of cheap animal protein. This study aimed to: (1) minimize post harvest losses by improving the shelf life dried fish; (2) enhance technology multiplication and dissemination system; (3) create clear insight about the technology implementation. This study was carried out in the northern and northwestern part of Lake Tana from June, 2014 to June, 2015. Purposive sampling methods were used to select Dembiya, Alefa and Gondar zuriya districts with their respective locality.
The Efficacy of Clove Seed Extracts as an Anaesthetic Agent and Its Effect on Haematological Parameters of African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus)
Background and Aim: The intensive nature of aquaculture has subjected fish to a number of stressors in the culture medium, anesthetics are widely used to minimize the issue of stress during farming operations and activities.
Agar-based Biocomposites slow down Progression in the Reproductive Cycle Facilitating Synchronization of the Gonads of Reared Specimens of Paracentrotus lividus
Background: Biopolymers have many fields of application. In Echiniculture they are usually employed to bind trial diets, although a systematic study on the performances of biopolymers as feed binders is lacking.
Analysis on the Molecular Biologic Characteristics and Expression of Lysozyme C Separated from Oplegnathus fasciatus
Background and Aim: lysozyme has been known as a significant component of the innate immune system of fish. It is reported that the g-type and c-type lysozymes have been identified in fish. Oplegnathus fasciatus is one of the economically important cultured species, generating higher market value and demands in Korea. Contrary to the heavy consumption of O. fasciatus, however, there has been very limited information on their immune system and immunity genes responding against diseases.
