Background. Usage of biosciences in increasing fish production needs to have a proper understanding and knowledge of endocrine physiology of fish reproduction. The most suitable method of determining the reproductive cycle in fishes is to observe seasonal development changes in the gonads. The present paper describes morphological changes in gonads of Mystus montanus. Materials and Methods. The individuals...
Background. Like in most salmonids, females of Artic charr dig nests, while spawning, to deposit their eggs, while the role of males is most often limited to the territorial defence. The aim of this study was to examine the histological structure of skin in both sexes, in the body parts which are particularly exposed to mechanical damage during spawning. Materials and Methods. Based on material representing...
Background. Rearing larval fish under laboratory conditions requires the use of appropriate artificial diets that fully replace natural food. Up till now, no starter has been developed for cyprinid rheophilic fish larvae, and these fish are therefore fed diets developed for other fish species. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of diets of different protein-, lipid-, and fatty...
Background. Dietary carbohydrate use is a priority in aquaculture because of its low cost and high availability, especially for herbivorous and omnivorous fish. Gelatinization is a process that improves carbohydrate use. However, excess dietary carbohydrate may cause metabolic stress and cellular changes as fish inherently use low carbohydrate. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of...
Background. The shortnose greeneye, Chlorophthalmus agassizi Bonaparte, 1840, is a species with a circumglobal distribution and is among the most abundant commercial fishes in some Mediterranean areas. The knowledge of the biology and ecology of this species is poor and geographically limited, then the aim of this study is to provide a contribution to the knowledge on the reproductive biology of this...
Background. The majority of the European populations of the Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio, consist predominantly of females reproducing by gynogenesis but include a small portion of males. Mechanisms for the occurrence of males in natural populations and their functions are still unclear. The aims of this study were to show the ploidy level by karyotype, some taxonomic characteristics by analysis...
