The potential of three essential oils, Origanum vulgare, Eugenia aromatica and Cinnamomum zeylanicum as slaughter anaesthetic agents, is presently assessed. Commercial stunning methods inducing rapid unconsciousness in fish before slaughtering, is urgently required. For now there is no acceptable method that can ensure kill fish humanely and all the commercially used methods of slaughter for farmed fish include a prolonged period of consciousness. Four slaughtering methods were applied, over-dose of four anaesthetics (three essential oils Origanum vulgare, Eugenia aromatica, Cinnamomum zeylanicum and 2-phenoxyethanol), asphyxia, bleeding and immersion in ice-water, in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.). Asphyxia, considered inhumane, but solely used in all wild fish, is also being assessed in Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus L.). Plasma cortisol and DNA fragmentation were measured as indicators, to assess stress response and genotoxicity of essential oils. Overdose of all examined essential oils, proved to induce less stress in comparison to asphyxia, bleeding and immersion in ice-water. O. vulgare, E. aromatica and C. zeylanicum demonstrated higher efficiency in blocking plasma cortisol response to stress in gilthead seabream and lower genotoxic effect, compared to other slaughtering techniques. Asphyxia was confirmed as very stressful slaughtering method in both experimental and wild fish.

Mariculture interventions in Kenya have been introduced with limited training provided to the farmers. For sustainable aquaculture development under KCDP, farmer’s trainings are prioritized. The study was conducted to investigate the awareness level of aquaculture and impact of trainings to the local communities from Kilifi and Kwale in coastal Kenya. A questionnaire was used to collect information and a sample size of 30 communities randomly selected from each of the two counties. Data analysis was carried out using MS Excel and Minitab where the respondent’s views in the pre and post training period were tabulated and displayed in form of percentages. Using correspondence analysis technique, participants’ views were characterized on knowledge capacity of questions displayed in an asymmetric row plot against the selected ranks in form of a Likert scale where farmers indicates Yes, Little or No as per their understanding of the question. 81.4% of the new farmers had no idea about fish farming, 9.30% had little idea and 9.30% had idea on fish farming. On practicing farmers, 61.23% had no idea on fish farming, 14.28% got a little idea and 24.49% agreed to have ideas on fish farming. Farmers confessed to know different culture facilities after the trainings, this study concludes that information is vital and there is still difficulty in sharing it to create a platform for more production and meaningful jobs for communities. It is recommended that extension agents should reach out to communities and pass useful information for farming profitability.

Maintenance of algal culture faces several problems associated with climate change, contaminations, equipment failures, power failures, unexplained crashes, poor lab facilities. Microalgae are traditionally preserved by serial subculture methods that are laborious, costly, and high risk of culture contamination. While unique characteristics may not be durably maintained with general subculture, cryopreservation methods better prevent alterations from desired characteristics. Because of the cost-effective in replacing of liquid nitrogen at every interval of time and technical person needed for the preservation. The objective is to find out an alternative and a low-cost technology for the preservation of microalgae Stock culture. The microalgae Nannochloropsis salina, Chlorella volutis, Cheatoceros gracilis, Dunaliella sp. and Amphora sp., were preserved using common cryoprotectants (methanol, DMSO, ethylene glycol and glycerol) for 6 months at –196°C and –20°C. The viabilities of the microalgae were assessed after thawing, and cell counts were measured. The preserved algae Nannochloropsis salina, Chlorella volutis, Dunaliella sp. and Amphora sp. evoked good responses with negligible changes in their survivability in 6 months incubation period when preserved at –20°C and – 196°C, while the Cheatoceros gracilis regenerate only in –196°C but not restored in –20°C. In this study, an alternative method for liquid nitrogen preservation has been standardized and this new method can be a boon for small level fish hatcheries and microalgal stock holders.

Background: Nile Tilapia a freshwater cichlid that is indigenous to the Nile basin and one of the world’s most important food fishes. Owing to its hardy nature and its wide range of trophic and ecological adaptations and the second most i mportant cultured species. Even though, it is susceptible to the parasite. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2017 to April 2018 to determine the prevalence of internal nematode parasites of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fish in a southwestern part of Lake Tana, Central Gondar, Ethiopia. The study was performed on a total of 384 Oreochromis niloticus fish species which were purposively selected from local fisherman caught using different mesh sized gill nets. Results: The overall prevalence of internal nematode parasites in this study was 57.3% (220/384). The genera of nematode identified in the body of Oreochromis niloticus were Contracaecum the most prevalent 209 (54.4%), the second genus was Eustrongylides 7 (1.8%) and the list prevalent was Camallanus 4 (1%). The prevalence of nematode was slightly higher in female 196 (58.2%) than male 188 (56.4%) fishes. Similarly, the infection rate in adult and young and in larger and medium fish was higher. Conclusion: This higher prevalence observed was predominantly related to the distribution of piscivorous birds which are more abundant in an area, where there are high fishing activities and increase the number of discarded filleted wastes. Peoples who have developed the habit of consuming raw fish are at higher risk of becoming infected by the zoonotic nematode parasites. Therefore, awareness creation activities and control of fish parasites should be conducted in the study Lake.

The environment has always aroused significant concerns regarding urban development and population increase. Whereas the economy is based upon local resources, it implies to local pollution. The complex would illuminate the functions of ecological and eco-political modernization towards the shrimp farming in Ecuador. The review continues the controversy on flows, development and practices as a case simulation with locals to examine the social conflicts in this regards. The paper is in favour of an eco-labelling strategy and discusses the main obstacles and barriers in shrimp mariculture. The technical approaches have been specified in this case. Finally, the discussion will conclude the responsibility of stakeholders and decision-makers to achieve a sustainably developed aquaculture and improving seafood industry.

The current study evaluates the growth performance of mono and mixed sex O. tanganicae under semi concreate pond culture conditions. Monosex O. tanganicae were produced on a 60mgMT/kg (17α Methyl- Testosterone) hormone incorporated diet while the mixed sex was raised on same feed but devoid of the hormone for a period of 28 days. The experiment was replicated three times and in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Five hundred fry were stocked in each hapa and fed with commercial Novatek feed containing 45% protein @ 10% of their body weight per day for 30 days. A day after post exposure of the hormone for the monosex, the growth (Length and weight) and SGR was compared among both the groups. The highest mean weight gain of 2.184 ± 0.184 g and SGR 6.506 ± 0.242 was noticed for monosex O. tanganicae. These growth parameters were statistically significant as compared to mixed sex. The study therefore, revealed that on the basis of better growth performance, monosex O. tanganicae it is recommend farming technique for better returns.

This study was conducted to determine the Length-weight relationship, Condition factor and Feeding habit of two commercial fish species Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis and Brycinus macrolepidotus in Ikere Gorge. A total of 561 samples (276 Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis and 285 Brycinus macrolepidotus) were caught from experimental gill net between October 2015 to November 2016 across five fishing site. Sex ratio show significant different p <0.05 across all location in favor of females in Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis. Male dominancy was recorded for Brycinus macrolepidotus in most fishing site with chi square value of 18.33. Growth pattern for Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis showed positive allometric in three of the sampling locations (Oyo junction, Apata and Spillway) with b value >3 and poor environmental condition less than 1 in all the locations. Brycinus macrolepidotus observed negative allometric growth pattern in all the sampling location with better ecological condition (K values >1). Stomach index expressed as percentage indicate that Brycinus macrolepidotus had the highest percentage of empty stomach (35.44%) while Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis recorded low value of empty stomach (0.36%). Size class food composition by Brycinus macrolepidotus and Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis showed a wide spectrum of items ingested at the various stages of life. Broad classification showed that Juveniles fed on Desmidiaceae as dominant item (34.91% and 32.03%), followed by Chlorophyceae (31.10% and 33.95%); Sub-adult fed on Chlorophyceae (28.38% and 39.80%), followed by Protozoans (18.96% and 19.68%), while Adult fed on Rotifers (28.91% and 13.17%) followed by Bacillarophyceae, (17.07% and 18.63%). The present of Sub adult and adult was notice in Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis, Green algae (19.96% and 17.92%) follow by Diatoms (17.50% and 24.37%); while in Adult Green algae (19.89% and 19.23%) follow by Diatoms (18.21% and 21.41%). This shows that as the fish species increases in size food item ingested also increase. Base on the identify food items in the stomach of both species Brycinus macrolepidotus is classified as Omnivore while Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis indicate Herbivore nature.

A total of 561 samples (276 Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis and 285 Brycinus macrolepidotus) were caught from experimental gill net between October 2015 to November 2016 across five fishing site. Sex ratio show significant different p <0.05 across all location in favor of females in Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis. Male dominancy was recorded for Brycinus macrolepidotus in most fishing site with chi square value of 18.33. Growth pattern for Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis showed positive allometric in three of the sampling locations (Oyo junction, Apata and Spillway) with b value >3 and poor environmental condition less than 1 in all the locations. Brycinus macrolepidotus observed negative allometric growth pattern in all the sampling location with better ecological condition (K values >1). Stomach index expressed as percentage indicate that Brycinus macrolepidotus had the highest percentage of empty stomach (35.44%) while Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis recorded low value of empty stomach (0.36%). Size class food composition by Brycinus macrolepidotus and Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis showed a wide spectrum of items ingested at the various stages of life. Broad classification showed that Juveniles fed on Desmidiaceae as dominant item (34.91% and 32.03%), followed by Chlorophyceae (31.10% and 33.95%); Sub-adult fed on Chlorophyceae (28.38% and 39.80%), followed by Protozoans (18.96% and 19.68%), while Adult fed on Rotifers (28.91% and 13.17%) followed by Bacillarophyceae, (17.07% and 18.63%). The present of Sub adult and adult was notice in Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis, Green algae (19.96% and 17.92%) follow by Diatoms (17.50% and 24.37%); while in Adult Green algae (19.89% and 19.23%) follow by Diatoms (18.21% and 21.41%). This shows that as the fish species increases in size food item ingested also increase. Base on the identify food items in the stomach of both species Brycinus macrolepidotus is classified as Omnivore while Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis indicate Herbivore nature.","PeriodicalId":15243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75440539","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}

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of partial or total replacement of fish meal by plant protein (PP) sources (0%, 50% and 100% PP) with not amino acids were added in diets on growth performance, survival rate, feed utilization and fish body chemical composition of gilthead Sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) fry under the water environment of Qaroun Lake. Survival rate was within the range 65–83.75%. The results cleared that the partial or total replacement of fish meal protein by plant protein had significant effects (P0.05) on the growth performance parameters such as final weight, total weight gain, daily gain and specific growth rate. The highest growth performance parameters were obtained with the diet contained 0% of plant protein (100% fish meal protein (FM)) compared with the other diets (50 and 100% PP). Feed intake values were highest with diet containing (100% FM). Also, the best feed conversion ratio (FCR) was recorded with diet containing (100% FM). While, the worst FCR was recorded with diet containing (100% PP). The lowest crude protein and ether extract body content were with diet contained (100% PP). But, the highest body content of crude protein and ether extract were with diet (100% FM), however moisture body content value was highest with diet (100% PP). Accordingly, the improvement of all growth performance parameters in diets containing higher levels of fish meal in Sea bream. And growth performance parameters were decreased with increasing plant protein in diets without not amino acids were added under the experimental conditions.

Sterile mutants of green algae in the genus Ulva have the potential to grow stably and are expected to be a suitable food or feed resource containing various nutrients, such as proteins and minerals. In this study, we isolated U. lactuca and U. pertusa from Tokyo Bay and Imari Bay, respectively, in Japan and evaluated their growth rates using a model reactor at Imari. The newly isolated U. lactuca had a growth rate of approximately 11.4 g-dry·m−2·d−1, which is estimated to be seven times greater than the rice yield in paddy fields, while repeatedly cultured U. lactuca had a growth rate of 8.1 g-dry·m−2·d−1. We also demonstrated that this species could be produced in subculture. Heavy metal analysis showed that after culture production, As, Cr, Pb, and Zn were present at concentrations of 0.1 ppm or less and Cd and Hg were below the detection limit for both Ulva species, indicating that long-term cultured sterile Ulva species have almost no accumulation of heavy metals and so would meet safety requirements for use in foods and feeds. Based on these findings, we designed a new type of efficient production system for sterile mutant Ulva spp. using enriched seawater.
