There was significantly higher fecundity in the PPT-ponds (2.28 ± 0.09 g.fish-1) than control (1.74 ± 0.06 g.fish-1), with prolific spawning starting 4 weeks earlier in the control ponds than in the PPT-ponds. This study demonstrated the potential of PPT for enhancing tilapia growth while delaying prolific breeding behaviour.

Five integrated mangrove-shrimp ponds in the Tam Giang Commune, Nam Can District, Ca Mau Province (Southern Vietnam) were chosen for this study. The study estimated that the mangrove-to-pond cover ratios ranged from 42.00 % to 72.50 %. The total shrimp yield per year (kg.ha-1 yr-1 ) was generally high, ranging from 76.62 to 249.09 (including 37.93 to 108.64 for the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798), and 38.69 to 140.45 for other shrimps, namely Penaeus indicus Milne Edwards, 1837, Penaeus merguiensis de Man, 1888, Metapenaeus ensis (De Haan, 1844), and Metapenaeus lysianassa (de Man, 1888)). Moreover, a strong positive correlation between the mangrove-to-pond cover ratios and the shrimp yields were observed (r > 0.71, P < 0.05).

The present experiment aimed to study the effect of three formulated isocaloric diets with varying levels of protein content on growth, survival, cannibalism, and mortality in striped snakehead (29 ± 3 mg of mean weight) weaning by rearing for 4 weeks. Three experimental groups depending on the dietary crude protein (CP 35 %, CP 40 %, and CP 45 %) were done in triplicate. Growth parameters (weight and length gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, and protein efficiency ratio) indicated better growth and feed utilisation in larvae fed CP 45 %, followed by 40 % and 35 % (P < 0.05). However, survival was not significantly different comparing the experimental groups. The cannibalism was maximum in CP 45 %, compared to 35 % and 40 %, most probably due to higher size heterogeneity, also confirmed by the co-efficient of variation in fish size. The observed mortality (not cannibalism) was higher in the group with lower protein (CP 35%) attributable to comparatively low feed intake and utilisation. Overall, the higher dietary protein levels demonstrated comparatively higher growth, possibly indicating the importance of increased protein content in snakehead larval feed.","PeriodicalId":37296,"journal":{"name":"Asian Fisheries Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42678581","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}

Total dry matter digestibility and major nutrient digestibility were estimated using acid insoluble ash as the marker. In general, the digestibility of dry matter, protein, fat, and nitrogen-free extract was higher in CSM incorporated diets than the control diet. While the dry matter and nitrogen-free extract digestibility values were highest at 40 % CSM incorporation level, those for protein and fat digestibility were highest in 30 % and 10 % levels, respectively, showing an apparent reduction thereafter. The incorporation of CSM had a stimulatory effect on most of the intestinal digestive enzymes tested. Fish fed 20 % CSM diet recorded the highest activity of total protease and carboxypeptidases while those fed 30 % CSM diet had highest trypsin and amylase activities; all showing reducing trend consequently. In the case of hepatopancreas, the reducing trend in the activities of protease, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase A, and lipase observed with increased incorporation levels of CSM was significant (P < 0.05) and the reduction in the activities of trypsin, amylase and cellulase in CSM fed fish was not significant (P > 0.05).

Unlike pure refined carrageenans, semi-refined carrageenans (SRC) are considered more cost-efficient and easier to produce. This study evaluates the quality of SRC extracted from Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty ex Silva 1996, and Kappaphycus striatus (F. Schmitz) Doty ex P.C. Silva 1996, seaweeds farmed in the northern part of Java Island, particularly in Serang, Seribu Islands, and Karimunjawa Islands. Using 8 % KOH as a solvent, SRC was extracted from clean dried seaweed. Physical and chemical characteristics of the SRC were measured by assessing the percentage SRC yield, ash content, moisture, sulphate content, viscosity (cp) and gel strength (g.cm-2). Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between SRC quality and environmental factors. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed that all samples had kappa-carrageenan from peak absorbance of 1218–1224 cm-1 indicating ester sulphate bonds, 924–925 cm-1 indicating 3,6–anhydrogalactose, and 843–844 cm-1 suggesting galactose–4–sulphate groups. Furthermore, ash content, moisture, and viscosity of SRC passed the FAO standard, while the sulphate content was below the threshold limit. Several environmental factors had a significant correlation with SRC quality, such as water pH positively correlated with gel strength, salinity level positively correlated with gel strength, and depth positively correlated with ash content. This study concluded that SRC produced from the sampling sites had varying qualities and may be affected by environmental parameters in their cultivation site.","PeriodicalId":37296,"journal":{"name":"Asian Fisheries Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42309004","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 present study aims to explore exogenous enzyme-producing bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758)). Two Gram-negative enzyme-producing (amylase, xylanase, and lipase) bacterial strains viz. Aeromonas veronii ONKP1 (GenBank accession no. MN602971) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ONKP2 (GenBank accession no. MN602972) were identified by biochemical tests and 16s RNA analysis. They are capable of utilising citrate, maltose, glucose, and gelatine. Besides, A. veronii ONKP1 can utilise mannitol, sucrose, and lactose, whereas S. maltophilia ONKP2 is catalase and urease positive. Aeromonas veronii ONKP1 was superior in terms of enzyme production to S. maltophilia ONKP2. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ONKP2 is a rarely reported strain, specifically from healthy fish. Amylase, xylanase, and lipase could be used as feed additives for fermenting plant products and producing prebiotics like xylooligosaccharides. Further, this study might help understand the role of gut-associated bacteria viz.

The novel human coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has become a great threat to many industries worldwide, including the ornamental fish trade. The present study was conducted to explore the qualitative and quantitative impacts of the pandemic on the ornamental fish supply chain in the Western Province of Sri Lanka with a sample size of 100 respondents representing the key stakeholders of the supply chain. The results concluded that all the stakeholders experienced a negative impact on their business process with the ongoing pandemic. There was a general reduction in sales and along the supply chain, the fish exporters were the least affected sector (7 % reduction), followed by breeders and growers (31 %), and aquarium fish dealers (38 %). The stakeholders who handled a diversified fish stock managed to do better than those who dealt with a single fish species during the pandemic.
