Abstract:
... Parachanna obscura is the most common African Channidae. Various studies are being conducted on its biology and ecology. It lives in fresh water in quiet and muddy areas. It has accessory respiratory organs allowing it to live in hypoxic environment. It has a varied diet and feeds on fish, remains of fish, insects, other invertebrates and plant detritus. It is a species with iteroparous asynchrono ...

Abstract:
... The diets of silver carp and grass carp have been studied in their early living stages. It resulted that these two species change their feeding habits with age growth. Larvae and free living fry are carnivores since their diet is dominated from animal living beings of plankton. The fingerlings had a mixed feeding regime, but in this stage appears the tendency to consume the vegetal components with ...

Abstract:
... A huge amount of kernel cake, which contains a variety of toxins including phorbol esters (tumor promoters), is projected to be generated yearly in the near future by the Jatropha biodiesel industry. We showed that the kernel cake strongly inhibited plant seed germination and root growth and was highly toxic to carp fingerlings, even though phorbol esters were undetectable by HPLC. Therefore it mu ...
