Investigation of the effect of water and feed sourced boron on the growth performance and blood parameters of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
This study investigated the effects of water and feed‐derived boron on the growth performance and blood parameters of Nile tilapia fingerlings. Two different experiments were designed for this purpose. The first phase of the study determined the LC50 (96‐

Efficacy of a Combined Natural Extract of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) Against Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia Virus in Olive Flounders (Paralichthys olivaceus)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) causes a high mortality rate in cultured olive flounder, and effective treatment for VHSV infection is urgently required. Turmeric (Curcuma longa ) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) are well‐known medicinal plants with a variety of biological activities. Turmeric and liquorice extract combination

Therapeutic Efficacy of Monoterpenes in Nile Tilapia Infected With Edwardsiella tarda: A Phytogenic Alternative to Oxytetracycline

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to assess the effectiveness of a combination of monoterpenes (thymol and carvacrol) in treating juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) infected with Edwardsiella tarda as a potential substitute for the antibiotic oxytetracycline. The study utilised different concentrations of the monoterpenes blend (MTs):

The regulators and the regulated: fisheries management, options and dynamics in Kenya's Lake Victoria fishery [PDF]

, 1997
The study divides the history of the fishery into five 'regulatory periods': the pre-colonial fishery (pre-1901), the colonial fishery (1901-1963), the post indipendence fishery (1963-1980), the Nile perch 'boom' years (1980-1989), and finally the ...

Contribution of Amino Acids in Cereal Grain Products to Precision Feed Formulation for Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) Using a Digestibility Approach

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although cereal grain products have low protein content, they can contribute up to 25% of total protein in low‐trophic level/omnivorous fish diets. Thus, understanding the amino acid contribution of these ingredients becomes crucial for meeting the dietary requirements of omnivorous fish.

Preference index supported by motivation tests in Nile tilapia

PLOS ONE, 2017
The identification of animal preferences is assumed to provide better rearing environments for the animals in question. Preference tests focus on the frequency of approaches or the time an animal spends in proximity to each item of the investigated resource during a multiple-choice trial.

ZW and XY Sex Chromosomes Drive Rapid and Distinctive Evolution of Sex‐Biased Gene Expression

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cichlids are a textbook model system of adaptive radiation and a fascinating example of rapid sex chromosome evolution. Yet in these fish, as in most other taxa, the mechanisms causing sex chromosome turnover and the subsequent impact thereof are unknown.
