Acute lethal toxicity of dried garlic (Allium sativum) powder on orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) juveniles under static exposure
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2022-10-05)
The present study was carried out to assess the toxic effect and determine the lethal concentration of dried garlic (Allium sativum) powder on the orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) juveniles. Laboratory static bioassays were conducted to determine the 96-h LC<sub>50</sub> of different concentrations of garlic (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) on grouper juveniles (mean weight, 35.4±6.18 g and mean length, 13.2±0.51 cm). The 96-h LC<sub>50</sub> was 74.78 mg L<sup>-1</sup> with lower and upper confidence limits of 62.8 and 89.06 mg L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. All fish exposed to 30 to 180 mg L<sup>-1</sup> exhibited rapid movement, faster opercular activity and erratic swimming whereas at higher concentrations (90 mg L<sup>-1</sup> to 180 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) fish showed additional behavioral changes such as loss of balance, lethargy, gulping for air and respiratory distress. Water quality parameters were within the recommended acceptable limits. This LC<sub>50</sub> value can be used as a baseline reference to generate an effective concentration of garlic for future prophylaxis and treatment for parasitic, viral and bacterial infection in grouper....
Grow-out of juvenile seahorse Hippocampus kuda (Bleeker; Teleostei: Syngnathidae) in illuminated sea cages
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009)
This paper examines the feasibility of rearing 10–15-day- and 0.7–1.5-month-old seahorse Hippocampus kuda in illuminated sea cages to continue existing hatchery protocols to mass produce H. kuda for trade and enhance ...
The response of Penaeus monodon juveniles to varying protein/energy ratios in test diets
(Elsevier, 1986)
Two sets of factorial experiments were conducted for 8 weeks to determine the response of Penaeus monodon juveniles (average weights = 0.60 ± 0.16 g and 0.80 ± 0.05 g) to diets containing various protein/energy ratios. The ...
Growth and mid-gut cells profile of Penaeus monodon juveniles fed water-soluble-vitamin deficient diets
(Elsevier, 1989)
Growth and changes in the mid-gut cell morphology of Penaeus monodon juveniles were evaluated after feeding for 35 days with semi-purified diets deficient in water-soluble vitamins. Diets were prepared by deleting one ...
Quantitative lysine requirement of milkfish (Chanos chanos) juveniles
(Elsevier, 1990)
A feeding experiment was conducted to determine the quantitative dietary requirement of milkfish juveniles for lysine. Milkfish (Chanoschanos Forsskal) of mean weight 5.92±0.14 g were fed diets containing 7.0, 11.0, 15.0, ...
Food colour preference of hatchery-reared juveniles of African catfish Clarias gariepinus
(Elsevier, 2017)
Food colour preference is a fundamental aspect of food recognition and has practical application in the formulation of artificial diets and the design of visual baits. Food colour affects growth performance and feed ...
Evaluation of various leguminous seeds as protein sources for milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal, juveniles
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1987)
The nutritive value of four leguminous plant seeds: pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), mungo (Phaseolus radiatus), kidneybean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and soybean (Glycine max), were evaluated as protein sources for milkfish (Chanos ...
