Recent developments in computer vision technology, however, have opened possibilities to better observe fish behavior. Such technology allows for non-destructive, rapid, economic, consistent, and objective inspection tools, while providing evaluation techniques based on image analysis and processing in a wide variety of applications. “Fish”, in this study, refers to underwater vertebrate fish belonging to the Pisces class that inhabit almost all available aquatic environments. This study aims to assess current, worldwide fish behavior study methods that use cameras which utilize computer vision. The evolution of computer vision as applied to fish behavior is explored in this paper for all stages of production, from hatcheries to harvest. Computer vision technology is regarded as existing from 1973 to 2018, specifically the Elsevier database. Fish behavior and underwater habitats are explored at large, especially in aquaculture fishing. Based on the methods observed above, relevant viewpoints on the present situation are presented as well as suggestions for future research directions.","PeriodicalId":15243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development","volume":"17 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82175489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since bacteria are the key player in aquaculture facilities governing health and quality of fish and prawn, comparative bacteriological analyses were undertaken to understand the suitable testing system of bacterial analysis for cultured freshwater prawn.Methodology: Both on-farm and laboratory conditions in low-resource settings were considered to monitor bacterial population in terms of bacterial count, gram staining and presence of enteric bacteria associated with prawn and its surrounding environment.Results: On-farm counting was about one log-unit lower total viable count in water, sediment and prawn samples compared to those of laboratory testing. The differences between on-farm and laboratory analysis probably occurred due to the time lapse during sample transportation. Study also showed that gram negative bacteria were dominant and enteric bacteria were present in both the prawn farms with more or less similar frequencies.Conclusion: It is concluded that the apparent difference in bacteriological condition of the two farms is possibly related to the differences in culture practices, environment and culture conditions and the study has recommended on-farm testing as an ideal bacteriological analysis method.","PeriodicalId":15243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82329740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three species were catla (Catla calta), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigala (Cirrhinus mrigala). Analysis of gut contents of C. mrigala from both the ponds was significantly (p<0.05) dominated by phytoplankton. L. rohita gut had similar values of both phytoplankton and zooplankton while C. catla gut was significantly dominated by zooplanktons. The specific cellulase and amylase activities were higher in C. mrigala. It was further observed that these activities are higher in managed ponds as compared to the unmanaged ponds. L. rohita revealed elevated levels of protease and amylase activities which supported the omniplanktivorous nature of the fish. Analysis of digestive enzymes from the gut of C. mrigala revealed more lipase, cellulase and amylase in comparison to other enzymes. It can be concluded that C. mrigala was phytoplanktivorous, L. rohita was omniplanktivorous and C. catla was zooplanktivorous. Fishes reared in managed ponds seemed to have higher enzymatic activities in the gut advocating higher growth. The results of the study enhance our understanding of the feeding patterns at different stratus levels within the available nutrition in polyculture systems.","PeriodicalId":15243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development","volume":"18 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91038077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used the Cobb- Douglas model in which efficiency estimates showed that tilapia farmers in Malawi were more technically inefficient than farmers in China, with mean efficiency scores of 47% and 91% respectively. With exception of aquaculture experience, all the inefficiency determinants were positive for Malawian farms even though none of the coefficients was significant. For Chinese tilapia farmers, age (significant), household size and education had negative signs except aquaculture experience. The Malawian tilapia industry need technology innovations in order to reduce the existing 53% yield gap, which can ideally be introduction or development of new strains of superior quality, enhanced use of all-male tilapia, improvement in both nursing and grow-out technologies as well as use of quality fish feed.","PeriodicalId":15243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development","volume":"108 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72778540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: 30 individuals of M. cuchia from a natural population of Northern-East part of Bangladesh were analyzed using 8 decamer primers and glutamine synthetase gene was digested with 2 restriction enzymes. Results: A total of 735 bands with 228 polymorphic loci were detected among the selected 30 individuals by using RAPD assay while 100% polymorphism was revealed by all the primers. The genetic distance among the individuals was calculated by using the data from pair-wise similarity index where 36 groups of genetic diversities were measured while the lowest and highest genetic distance were found 0.58 and 0.97 respectively with an average genetic diversity of 0.81. The Nei’s genetic similarity values were found from 0.06 to 0.6 where average value was recorded 0.301746 which was found significant regarding genetic distance. Phylogenetic relationships using UPGMA clustering revealed linkage distance ranged from 3.6 to 6.24 and generated 6 clusters by 11 clades with the involvement of 22 individuals while the rest of the samples were connected to those clades with specific linkage distances. Genetic diversity of glutamine synthetase gene was analyzed with two restriction enzymes, e.g. +CfrI and +Hpy178III while both the enzymes digested the gene fragment at a length of 541 bp and polymorphism was detected in terms of wild type homogygotes, polymorphic homozygote and heterozygosity. The genetic diversity was observed by using the RFLP band analysis and four different groups of individuals were identified with the p-values of 0, 0.033, 0.05 and 1 respectively whereas different distances were found among the groups indicating the polymorphism among experimental individuals of glutamine synthetase gene. Conclusion: Herein, RAPD and RFLP analysis indicating the rich genetic diversity of this fish in the experimental ecological habitat and this would come helpful for the conservation of germplasm diversity and to support the sustainable breeding program of M. cuchia.","PeriodicalId":15243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development","volume":"30 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83395586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pertinent data were collected from randomly selected 150 hilsa fishermen by personal interview with a structured questionnaire, focus group discussion and, data were crosschecked with the key informants. Data interpretation showed that the maximum number of fishers (33%) belonged to the age group of 31 to 40 years. Most of the fishers belonged to the joint family with average family members (7) higher than the national average. In addition, most of the participants (49%) can only sign followed by illiterate (24%) and only few fishers passed primary (20%) and secondary (7%) level of education. Although they are fishing round the year, vegetables were the most common food item consumed by the fishers’ family. Majority of the fishers (67%) worked on another fishermen’s boat as labour. The highest number (44%) of the fishers’ annual income ranged between 21,000 and 40,000 BDT where highest income was more than 100,000 BDT. About 93% of the fishermen depended on loan to run the fishing and among them 33% depended on Mahajon and 24% on Aratdar. Almost all the fishers (91%) mentioned that piracy was the major problem and, 53% and 89% reported both dadon and market controlled by Aratder/bapari respectively as the main constraints in their business. To safeguard the livelihood of the fishermen, the government, donor agencies and NGOs should come forward to provide adult education, loan without or minimum interest and set criteria for the Aratder/bapari so that they can’t harass the fishers during fish selling.","PeriodicalId":15243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77534074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The worm feed of T1, T2 and T3 was feces of fish and uneaten feed; that of T4 was controlled-no feed and that of T5 was commercial feed. The polychaete worms were kept in 15 boxes (L50 × W40 × H30 cm), and bottoms of the boxes were filled with a 15~20 cm layer of substrate sediment with 50% gravel and 50% oyster shell. Thirty fishes were placed in each cubic tank (L70 × W40 × H20 cm) with 55 L water.
