In the present study the effects of cadmium chloride on the production of antioxidants such as Alanine AminoTransferase (ALT) in C.gariepinus and how such effects can be ameliorated through administration of vitamins were investigated.C.gariepinus fingerlings (whose initial weight ranged from 3-11g) were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of Cd (00, 12mg/L, 16mg/L, 20mg/L and 24mg/L) with replicate in each case. Minimum concentration of the toxicant was taken as the concentration for each of the vitamins and administered across all treatments. Fresh concentrations of both toxicant and vitamins were administered every 72 hours for a period of 12 weeks every time the water medium was changed.The various treatments group include Cd (Cd only with T1-T4 and replicates), CdVA (Cd+vitamin A with T1-T4 and replicates), CdVC (Cd+vitamin C with T1-T4 and replicates) and CdVE (Cd+vitamin E with T1-T4 and replicates). 3 samples of the fish were randomly selected and sacrificed from each aquarium tank every 2 weeks of the exposure period. The gills, kidneys and liver were excised from these specimens and homogenized in sodium phosphate buffer. From the results: In samples exposed to Cd only, the ALT production levels in the liver of the fish showed that T1 and T4 in the 2 and 4 weeks of exposure, respectively are significantly higher than other treatments including the control. The control mean values in the 6 and 8 weeks of exposure, respectively are significantly higher than other treatments. T1 in the 10 week of exposure are significantly higher than other treatments. The highest ALT produced in the liver was65.43±0.10nM/mg obtained in T4 at the end of the 6 week of exposure. T1 and T4 in the kidneys of the samples at the end of the 2 and 4 weeks of exposure, respectively are significantly higher than other treatments. The control mean values in the 6 and 10 weeks of exposure are significantly higher than other treatments. T4 inthe 8 week of exposure are significantly higher than other treatments including the control. T4 in the 4 week of exposure recorded the highest ALT value of 71.87±0.20nM/mgin the kidney of the samples. The T3 and T4 in the gills of the samples in the 2 and 4 weeks of exposure are significantly higher than other treatments. T2 in the 6 week of exposure are significantly higher than other treatments. The control in the 8 and 10 weeks of exposure, respectively are significantly higher than other treatments. The highest ALT produced in the gill was 62.97±0.05nM/mgobtained in T2 at the end of the 6 week of exposure.

Blood samples were collected from juveniles and adults of catfish exposed to these conditions. The samples were analyzed with Randox test kits. Results from antioxidants analysis showed that the control values of catalase (CAT) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzymes activities in the plasma of C.gariepinus (juveniles and adults) from control farm ranged between (0.71 – 0.85Umg/protein); (0.38 – 0.50Umg/protein) and (0.34 – 0.37Umg/protein) respectively.

Kumari","doi":"10.20431/2454-7670.0603004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20431/2454-7670.0603004","url":null,"abstract":"The Sundarban is an UNESCO declared world heritage site, situated at the southern fringes on the West Bengal state of India. Aquaculture plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of the communities living in the Sunderban eco-region. Present study encompasses the prevailing aquaculture practices and socioeconomic profile of the fish farmers of Indian Sundarban based on a multi-layered cross-sectional questionnaire based survey. The majority of fish farmers have medium sized families (60%) and the aquaculture operations are dominated by male workers (98%). The fish farmers belonged to low Income group (69%) and their annual income lies within 785.75 US$. Majority of the respondent practices traditional type farming (74%) and polyculture is prevalent. Freshwater aquaculture of Sundarban is dominated by Indian Major Carps (IMCs) in combination with other exotic varieties. Composite fish culture is popular throughout the Sundarban and most preferred stocking combination is carps with tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) followed by IMCs with medium and minor carps. Of Sundarban fish farmers, 19% do not give any kind of supplementary feed. The survey revealed that the government, educational institutions and NGOs are unsuccessful to develop sustainable aquaculture practice and methods in Sundarban. The state of West Bengal is the second largest fish producer in India (after Andhra Pradesh) and is dominated by production from the South and North 24 Parganas district. Total fish Production of the state was 1.6 million tons in 2000-2001 which was increased to tune up the production of 1.5 million tons in 2013-2014 from an approximately 5.45 lakh ha area. Aquaculture is a rapidly growing food producing sector in the world. Even though capture fishery represented 58% of total fish production in 2012, it has remained relatively stable throughout the last three decades. The source of significant growth in the global production of fish since the late 1980s has been culture fishery (aquaculture) with an average annual growth rate of 8.8%1. The production from world food fish aquaculture more than doubled from 32.4 million tons in 2000 to 66.6 million tons in 2012 with an average annual growth rate of 6.2 % in the period 2000–2012 1. India is the second largest fish producer in the world after China and in 2012 India produced 3.8 million tons farmed food fish from the inland sector 1. In India, national average annual consumption of fish and fish products is 2.85 kg capita-1 in 2010 which accounts for 2.2% of total protein consumption Fishery in Sunderban is the most important and major source of livelihood in the people living there. The forests of Sunderban is located at the situated at the southern fringes on the West Bengal state of India. There are a number of famous tourist spots in the city. Most of the fishermen in the city are from and they use the boats to get their catches from the sea Fishery in sunder ban offers all kinds of fishing activity.

Fish require proteins, fats, carbohydrates in addition to vitamins and minerals in appropriate proportions to enhance fast growth, optimum health and harvest (Falaye, 1988; Ufodike et al., 2011). Protein assumes a very important place in bodybuilding and replenishing (Davies et al., 1997), and therefore, must be considered as a critical or limiting nutrient. The most common protein source used in aqua feed is the fishmeal and largely derived from small oily fish caught by so-called “industrial fisheries”. Due to the everincreasing demand for fish meal and fish oil for farmed fish and crustaceans, there’s growing concern on over-exploitation of capture fishery derived fish products for aquaculture. This contributes to depletion of certain types of fisheries with negative concomitant effects on other wild fish stock hence unsustainable for aquaculture (Naylor et al., 2000).","PeriodicalId":212275,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Studies in Aquatic Biology and Fisheries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133676502","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 importance of fish as crucial-elements in the diets of family member such as infants, young children and pregnant women, is now widely recognized [7].
