Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Effect of fasting on glucose turnover in a carnivorous fish (Hoplias sp)
Intravenous glucose tolerance tests and measurements with [6-3H]glucose of rate of glucose replacement, transit time, and body glucose mass were performed in fed and fasted Hoplias malabaricus. Both glycemia levels and the rate of decline of blood glucose following intravenous administration of 500 mg/kg glucose were significantly lower in 60-day ...

Host selectively contributes to shaping intestinal microbiota of carnivorous and omnivorous fish
Fish production is increasingly important to global food security. A major factor in maintaining health, productivity and welfare of farmed fish is the establishment and promotion of a stable and beneficial intestinal microbiota. Understanding the effects of factors such as host and environment on gut microbial community structure is essential for ...

TRIVALENT CHROMIUM (CR+3) IN DIETARY CARBOHYDRATE AND ITS EFFECT ON THE GROWTH OF COMMONLY CULTIVATED FISH [PDF]
Trivalent chromium (Cr+3) is an essential trace mineral for fish bio-physiological functions. Researches on Cr+3 in the form of organic compound indicated that the mineral affected the bio-activity of insulin, the blood glucose influx, and subsequently ...

Garbage in the diet of carnivores in an agricultural area [PDF]
Human food waste is considered to be richer in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins than most natural food supplies; however, it is very well digested in scats. So, as an indication of this kind of food in the diet, we have used each indigestible,

CONSERVATION OF AN ENDANGERED CARNIVOROUS FISH RITA RITA THROUGH INDUCED BREEDING
In present study the Effects of different doses of ovaprim on induced spawning activities of Rita rita were observed with an aim to standardize the dose of ovaprim for successful breeding. In the trial experiment, the females of Rita rita were treated with ovaprim at the rate of 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0ml/kg body weight and males of Rita rita in all the cases ...
