In most Asian and Sub-Saharan countries, the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, is the second most commonly cultivated fish species. The quantification of genetic diversity and population structure is essential for the interpretation, understanding, and management of populations and individuals. Due to its rapid growth rate, capacity to adapt to a variety of culture conditions, and high fertility, African catfish, C. ... Read more

Consuming fish that has been raised using intense aquaculture techniques or taken from naturally occurring bodies of water contaminated by anthropogenic activity has emerged as a severe issue. To combat this worldwide, the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) created "organic fish farming" standards in 2000, which encourage the sustainable use of natural resources by including both conventional ...

The development of the CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9) eukaryotic gene editing technique opened up new possibilities for therapeutic interventions as well as for the study of gene function. Although targeted gene disruption was possible using the original methods, current technical developments have produced a wide range of instruments that can change genes and gene ... Read more

miRNAs are an important class of gene regulators. Different studies have shown that the deregulation of these miRNAs is linked to diseases and reproductive problems in humans and animals. Thus, characterizing the function of these regulators is of strategic importance in understanding the development of clinical therapies and features of economic interest. CRISPR/Cas9 is a technique that has been ... Read more

Fish is regarded as health food due to its nutritional significance resulting in increased demand globally. In 2018, global fish production was 179 mmt of which 87.15% was used for direct human consumption (FAO, 2020). Nearly 38% of total fish caught was traded internationally resulting in an export value of US $164 billion. Fish contributed 20% of average per capita intake of animal protein to about 3.3 billion ... Read more

Ion transporters are integral proteins in the membrane that regulate cellular absorption and excretion of inorganic ions. Ion transport through cell membranes and organelles is necessary for performing osmoregulatory functions in any organism. The function and mechanisms of various ion transporters are well established in higher vertebrates. However, shrimps, being invertebrates, many of the ion transport mechanisms differs from the ...

Glucose is one of the most physiologically important monosaccharides for the production of energy in most of the organisms. Glucose is considered as the central molecule in carbohydrate metabolism. It is the only monosaccharide which is utilized directly from blood hence it is most preferred monosaccharide in most of the organism. However, in contrast, fishes show very poor tolerance towards ... Read more

The present study was carried out at the larval rearing unit of the commercial Haraz Hatchery. A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate micro-particulate diets that are used in marine hatcheries for seabream larvae. Three different experimental micro-diets were used to study the effects of micro-particulate diets on the survival and growth of Sparus aurata larvae. The feeding ... Read more

Coffee is a major export crop and an important source of foreign revenue in most tropical and subtropical regions. Cooler, elevated areas at 3300 feet (more above sea level), tropics/sub-tropics are favored for grown a higher quality/value of Arabica coffee. Some of the common challenges to coffee production are: low yields (old and poorly managing of tree), declining soil ... Read more

The chemical signalling system constitutes the large sensory mechanism that mediates the behavioural and physiological responses in aquatic ecosystems. These chemical cues strongly affect the population structure, feeding and foraging strategies, and also govern the transfer of energy within and among ecosystems. Chemical cues are omnipresent and play different roles in freshwater and marine systems; however, their impacts are inadequately ... Read more

Marine aquaculture has grown worldwide in recent decades, but around 90% of ornamental marine fish available in aquarium are results of extractive practices. Ornamental fish farming try to supply the indiscriminate collection of native fish, avoiding their extinction. However, marine fish breeding in captivity still walks on a small scale, being an activity dependent on the acclimatization of the species in ... Read more
