Fatty acids content and profile of common commercial Nile fishes in Sudan
The muscle tissues of the Nilefishes: Lates niloticus, Bagrus bayad, Oreochromis niloticus, Synodontis schall and Tetraodon lineatus were analyzed for fatty acids compositions and profiles by gas liquid chromatography. Of the thirty-three fatty acids of different saturation levels detected, the predominant fatty acids were palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1ω9),...

Research on in vitro culture and inducing nacre crystal formation of freshwater pearl mussel mantle epithelial cell Sinohyriopsis cumingii
The foundation of natural pearl formation by mussels is calcium carbonate in the form of aragonite crystals, secreted essentially by the epithelial cells of mantle tissue as nacre. The in vitro explant culture of nacre secreting pallial mantle explants of freshwater pearl mussel was a vital step in the approach to the establishment of quality of pearl mussel species, by screening pearl mussel species that are...

Growth, survival and proximate body composition of Labeo rohita larvae fed artificial food and natural food organisms under laboratory condition
This investigation was carried out to study the effect of different live feed and dry feed on growth and survival of Labeo rohita at a stocking density of 20 larvae per trough having 10 L of water. The increase in weights and lengths were used as measures of growth. The duration of the experiment was 30 days. Seven dietary treatments were tested viz. Artificial diet with 45% protein (LFr1),...
