The pollution by heavy metals poses a serious threat to the aquatic environment and to the organisms if the concentration of heavy metals in the environment exceeds the safe limits. Due to their non-biodegradable and long persistence nature in the environment, heavy metals cause toxicity in fish by ...

Heavy metals pollution causes a threat to the aquatic environment and to its inhabitants when their concentrations exceed safe limits. Heavy metals cause toxicity in fish due to their non-biodegradable properties and their long persistence in the environment. This review investigated the effects of ...

A simple, fast, repeatable and less laborious sample preparation protocol was developed and applied for the analysis of biocontrol fungus Trichoderma harzianum strain FA1132 by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The match factors for sample spectra with respect to the mass spectra library o...

BACKGROUND: Tilapias (Family Cichlidae) are the second most important group of aquaculture species in the world. They have been the subject of much research on sex determination due to problems caused by early maturation in culture and their complex sex-determining systems. Different sex-determining...

The “Molobicus” hybrid breeding programme was initiated to improve tilapia growth performance in brackish water. The base population was created by backcrossing F1 Oreochromis niloticus GIFT strains × feral O. mossambicus to O. mossambicus and selective breeding conducted for performance in brackish...

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has been the subject of much research on sex determination due to the problems caused by maturation and reproduction in culture before harvest, and because of the emerging complexity of sex determination in this species. Analysis of the stock held at the Universi...

Abstract Transportation sector is one of the core parts of modern civilization. Proper utilization of energy and exergy in this sector is necessary to ensure energy loss and environmental sustainability. Increasing exergy efficiency will reduce carbon emissions from this sector. Since 1970, Reistad ...

Chromium (Cr) is one of the major heavy metal pollutants and its toxicity causes an adverse impact on body physiology of aquatic organisms including fish. Probiotics may be able to degrade toxic effects of Cr, thereby mitigating its adverse effects on the fish body. In this study, Nile tilapia (35.2...

Termitomyces represents a very poorly known genus of fungi whose essential characteristic is that all representatives of the genus are cultivated by termites (Macrotermitinae) in their nest. Many species of Termitomyces commonly form fruiting bodies which develop from fungus combs within the nest. I...

Abstract Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing agro‐food industries in the world and Asia dominates the world's fish production (70% of total) with a high potential to ensure global food security. The leading aquaculture fish species in Asia show sexual dimorphism for traits such as growth, age ...

Nile tilapia has proven to be sensitive to change phenotypic sex upon exposure to steroid hormone and high temperature during the critical period of gonad differentiation. It is more difficult to feminize XY males than to masculinize XX females. High temperature feminization has also been observed i...

Probiotics are promising substitute to synthetic agrochemicals for improving fish health in the aquaculture system. The probiotics used in the aquaculture sector of Bangladesh are mostly imported. While these probiotics can offer benefits, probiotic-supplemented diet sometimes shows inconsistent res...

Tilapia is one of the most commercially valuable species in aquaculture with over 5 million tonnes of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, produced worldwide every year. It has become increasingly important to keep track of the inheritance of the selected traits under continuous improvement (e.g. gr...
