Biofloc technology is a modern-day high-density fish culture system employing heterotrophic conversion of nitrogenous waste into useful flocs for water quality control and improved welfare. However, optimization of the stocking density for the target species during seed rearing is the key to a successful farming operation. The study evaluated the effect of different stocking density on the growth, feed utilization, digestive p...

Fisheries and aquaculture are the fastest-growing food-producing sector and rapidly becoming an important element for the global food security since they are the primary source of seafood and high animal protein in the human diet. Genome editing offers new possibilities such as the clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas9) technology, which has the potential to accelerate the...

This study evaluated the effect of sublethal doses of antifungal drug miconazole nitrate ( MCZ ) on immunological responses and its role as a prophylactic drug against S. parasitica in Labeo rohita fingerlings. Fish were fed with sublethal doses of MCZ , that is, T1—6.30 mgMCZ kgBW −1 , T2—12.61 mg MCZ kg BW −1 and T3—25.22 mg MCZ kg BW −1 , and sampling was done at different time intervals for 240 hr. Immunological parameters...
