The study was conducted in district Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan and for this two sets of questionnaires were developed each for food vendors (40) and population using street foods (40). All respondents were randomly selected and interviewed. The study revealed that all the vendors were male (100 %). Among the vendors, 95% were literate (at least primary education) and 50% were ≤ 30 years. Food safety related training was not received by any vendor in study area. A significant majority of vendors did not know about good handling practices (GHP) and good manufacturing practices(GMP) i.e. 52.5 and 45%, respectively, while an overwhelming majority (80%) was familiar to food borne illnesses (FBIs). Most vending carts were in poor hygienic condition (72.5%), infested with flies (97.5%)and only 32.5 % vendors were in clean clothes. Some vendors experienced infectious diseases like, hepatitis (5%) and tuberculosis (7.5%). In case of population using street vended foods, only 5% were satisfied with hygienic condition of food vendors, quality of raw material (10%), serving utensils (7.5%) and food freshness and purity (15%), therefore, significant majority (87.5%) of population using street foods experienced FBIs. Meanwhile, main reasons for consuming street food were low food cost (90%), ease (85%) and palatability(75%).Significant associations (p < 0.05) were observed between vendors’ demographics (age and education) and their vending practices, while highly significant associations (p < 0.05) were recorded between street food users’ education and perceptions. In vendors’ self-reported analysis, average valuefor vendors’ knowledge remained 7.75, vendors’ attitude stayed 23.18,while average value for vendors’ food safety practices was recorded as 6.51. Study concludes that venders’ food safety knowledge and practices are poor, therefore, population using street foodsare not seemed satisfied with safety measures in street food vending.

The shortest incubation, larval and pupal duration (3.0±0.33d, 13.3± 0.48d and 4.1±0.10 c ) respectively was recorded on 4 gram brewer yeast then 2, 3 and 5 grams, followed by Protein solution, Honey solution. The longest incubation, larval and pupal duration (4.95±1.20 a, 15.9± 1.50a and 6.7±0.80a) was observed on 1 gram Sugar solution The findings of this study can significantly persuade the better and cheapest artificial diet ingredients for the adult rearing of this predator in the laboratory and brewer yeast is very cheapest having significant role in adult rearing of C. carnea.","PeriodicalId":21635,"journal":{"name":"SINDH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH JOURNAL -SCIENCE SERIES","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84853868","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 investigation on feeding behavior of catfish, Ompok pabda from riverIndus near Jamshoro was initiated for the period of three months from March to May 2017. Total 200 specimens ranged from 4.0 -30.0 cm and 6.1-60.5 g in length and weight respectively were procured from the catch of local fishermen.The collected specimens were brought to laboratory preserved in 5% formalin. Results of the presentinvestigation revealed that the feeding behavior of Ompok pabdawas found to be carnivorous with higher feeding preferences for insect larvae (60.43%), followedby zooplanktons (23.58) and 3rd preferred food was debris (11.93). It was noted during the present course of investigation that small fish (4.0-10.0 cm)preferred zooplankton, protozoa and debris while medium sized fish (11.0-16.0 cm) showed preference to insect larvae, worms and detritus and large fish (17.0-30.0 cm) exhibited insect larvae, zooplankton, detritus and debris. The gape of mount was measured in relation to total length and found to be positively correlated with length of fish in the present study.
