... Toxic nitrogen compounds (ammonium and nitrite) during freshwater fish farming are factors that strongly affect fish farming and its effectiveness. Knowledge of the dynamics of these compounds during fish rearing is essential for fish farmers. Since measuring toxic nitrogen compounds is one of the most important actions in commercial fish culture, a two-part experiment was conducted using a Recirc ...
... This paper describes a study in which different types of the reproduction of wild vimba bream (Vimba vimba) under controlled conditions were compared. Reproduction was performed by using three methods: spontaneous (natural spawning- NS groups): without hormones but with nests, semi-artificial (S groups) with hormones and nests, and artificial (A groups) with hormones and manual stripping of gamete ...
... The changes in concentrations of 17ß-estradiol (E₂), testosterone (T), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) in the gonads and plasma of diploid and triploid gibel carp (Carassius gibelio) from the Siemianowka Reservoir, the Vistula River drainage were quantified and compared using an enzyme immunoassay. The phase of gonad maturity was based on histological analysis and the gonadosomatic index. All fish had ...

Abstract:
... The rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry, the global shortage of fish meal (FM) supplies from fisheries, and the continuous demand for FM as a primary protein source in aquafeed lead to increase the necessity to find new alternatives. Plant protein sources have gained significant importance among aquaculture farmers and nutritionists because of their availability, eco-friendly, sustainabili ...
... Nowadays, the application of immunomodulators in aquaculture has become of an urgent need because of high incidence of fish and shrimp diseases. For a long time, researchers have paid great interest to find suitable, relatively economical, and environmentally safe immunostimulant products to be used either as feed or water additives to boost immunity and increase the resistance of fish and shrimp ...
... The burbot (Lota L.) is one of the most promising freshwater new fish species for cold-water aquaculture. Due to the lack of availability of wild spawners, it is imperative to breed cultured spawners. In the present study, artificial reproduction of a cultured stock of burbot was carried out and then compared with wild fish reproduction results. Patterns of burbot final oocyte maturation were deve ...
... Fertilization is one of the most important procedures in artificial reproduction and it directly affects the reproduction outcome. When there is optimization of fertilization, there can be a positive effect on subsequent reproductive processes and economic aspects of aquaculture. This study was conducted to determine time for which oocytes and sperm of barbel Barbus barbus retain fertilization cap ...

... Farmed fish and shrimp are continuously challenged by multiple stressors during their life stages, such as hypoxia, pH fluctuations, different salinities, high nitrite, un-ionized ammonia, injury during handling, inadequate nutrition, or food shortage, which can eventually adversely impact their health, welfare, and growth rates. Besides, these stressors can weaken production and decrease their re ...

... Successful propagation of fish depends on many factors including the optimal administration routes and delivery vehicles of spawning agents. In our experiments, the effects of different routes of administration and delivery vehicles of Ovopel (mammalian GnRH-analouge and metoclopramide) on ovulation were compared in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Seven females per treatment were used (BW = ...

Abstract:
... Although ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua) are widely distributed in Eurasia, in some regions (i.e., North America) ruffe are considered an invasive species. There have been no reports on artificial reproduction of this species. A study, therefore, was conducted to evaluate reproduction of ruffe with results of specimens captured from their natural habitat and cultured (F₁ generation) specimens being c ...
... The maraena whitefish, Coregonus maraena (Bloch, 1779), is often considered a suitable candidate for intensive aquaculture diversification in the EU. However, only a few such farms in Europe are in operation. Rearing this species in recirculating aquaculture systems is a recent innovation, and optimisation is necessary to standardise aspects of larviculture. This 30-day study investigated the effe ...

Abstract:
... Optimizing larval rearing protocols is critical to successful intensive fish culture. We compared the efficacy of feeding strategies for larvae of maraena whitefish Coregonus maraena, a promising candidate for intensive aquaculture. Survival, growth indicators, intestine development, and liver status were compared in larvae fed live feed, commercial dried feed, and weaned from live to dried feed a ...

Abstract:
... Pikeperch is one of the major new fish species in freshwater aquaculture. Artificial reproduction is difficult in this species, and many aspects require further study. These include synchronization of female maturation, latency time, gamete quality and spawner survival rate. For these reasons, many fish farmers must constantly replenish their spawning pikeperch stock, often with wild fish. Data on ...
... As a result of evolution, various finfish species have developed different breeding strategies. However, there are some similarities, and one of them is the positive effect of ovarian fluid on spermatozoa. The opposite of this phenomenon was found in the common barbel (Barbus barbus). The present study analyzed the effect of ovarian fluid (OF), distilled water (DW) and Woynarovich solution (WS) on ...
... The effect of different treatment agents, namely, carp pituitary homogenate (CPH), Ovaprim ([D-Arg6, Pro9NEt]-sGnRH + domperidone) and a dopamine-receptor antagonist (metoclopramide), on the stimulation of northern pike (Esox lucius) spermiation was tested under controlled conditions. To carry out the experiment, males (n = 84) were divided into four groups: control (n = 21); CPH (n = 21); Ovaprim ...

... Generally, fishes are continuously exposed to several aquatic pollutants originating from agricultural runoff, mining activities, discharges from industrialized regions, or other sources that throw their polluted water into the aquatic ecosystems. Fish exposure to pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and other toxic chemicals will negatively affect their health and welfare. The ...
... This study determined the contents of cadmium (Cd) in the muscles, ovaries, and eggs of silver female European eels. The analysis of cadmium content was performed on female European eels caught during commercial fishing in freshwater in Warmia and Mazury (Poland), and then subjected to artificial maturation and ovulation processing under controlled conditions. The content of cadmium (Cd) in the ti ...

... Optimization of artificial reproduction, by increasing the survival rate of embryos and hatching rate, is of major importance for reducing genetic diversity, especially in fish captured from their natural habitat that subsequently spawn in hatcheries. The artificial reproduction of ide, Leuciscus idus (L.) was conducted in controlled conditions. The spawning agents included: different doses of hum ...

... Controlled indoor reproduction of European eel is commonly recognized as a prospective tool to prevent extinction of this fish species. There is a little information about diversity of bacterial microflora of European eel during long maturation under controlled but changing thermal and salinity conditions. Characteristics of the composition of the bacterial microflora inhabiting the body surface o ...
