Abstract The current study dealt with the use of methods of preserving (freezing and salting with drying), cooking methods (grilling and cooking in broth and frying) and studying their effect on functional characteristics (solubility, amount of water and oil absorbed, viscosity, emulsification, foaming, gel formation) of myofibrillars and sarcoplasmic proteins separated from carp meat, common and silver carp diagnosed with electrophoresis technique, the study was conducted during the period (10/2018-1/2020). The results were as follows: 1. Dried fibrous proteins and dried sarcoplasm proteins separated from fish meat have given a good functional properties compared to commercial cow's albumin. 2. It was found that the percentage of solubility and gelatinization of commercial cow's albumin protein was higher than in the myofibrillars and sarcoplasmic proteins separated from the two types of fish, whereas the amount of water absorbed by the commercial cow's albumin protein was less than of myofibrillars and sarcoplasmic proteins, while the amount of absorbed oil, viscosity, and emulsion composition. The commercial cow's albumin was comparable to the myofibrillars and sarcoplasmic proteins, and when comparing the foam properties of the myofibrillars and sarcoplasmic proteins of common carp and silver carp with the commercial cow's albumin at a concentration of 1% and at the normal pH=7, it was found that the foam size and persistence of sarcooplasmic proteins were close to the size and persistence of the foam for the commercial protein at the normal pH, while the volume and stability of the foam for myofibrillars proteins were slightly lower than in cow's albumin. 3. It was observed that the solubility values in the myofibrillars proteins and the sarcoplasmic proteins of the samples were close to each other when using preservation methods while the solubility of the myofibrillars proteins was lower than the solubility of the sarcoplasm proteins of the cooked samples. It was found that the amount of oil absorbed by the myofibrillars proteins was higher than the sarcoplasmic proteins, but that its viscosity and its ability to bind water and its ability to form gel were lower than it, and the capacity of emulsifiers of protein myofibrillars and their stability was higher than the capacity and the stability of emulsions of sarcoplasm proteins, as for the type of fish and the type of protein stability of emulsions, it was noted that there was a slight difference in the capacity of emulsions and the stability of emulsions for myofibrillars proteins as well as for sarcoplasm proteins. The emulsification values did not seem different between the two types of fish. 4. It was found that freezing contributed to reducing solubility and the amount of water absorbed while it had a role in increasing the amount of oil absorbed to fish proteins more than salting and drying. The freezing, as well as salting and drying were reduced the viscosity of proteins a little bit, also freezing reduced stability of emulsionsfor two type of fish proteins,but salting and drying was rised it, and the degree of influence of the measured foam property in myofibrillars and sarcoplasmic proteins of the fish species by means of preservation and cooking different methods was very small because the values were closely related, and we did not find a specific pattern that we could apply in terms of challenging degree of difference, freezing and salting with drying, grilling and frying and cooking in the broth sometimes susceptibility raises values formation of foam and other reduce it. 5. The solubility of proteins that measured on fish which cooked in broth was more than the solubility of grilled and fried samples. It was observed that the solubility values in myofibrillars proteins and sarcoplasm proteins for the cooked samples were close to each other, and the amount of water and absorbed oil, foam properties and viscosity of the measured proteins in cooked fish were not affected by the cooked methods whose used because the closely related of values. 6. Generally the results showed that the solubility and viscosity values in the samples of common carp were lower than in the silver carp which preserved and cooked by different ways, but the ability of common carp to bind the oil was higher than that of silver carp when using conservation methods while the values were close at the use of cooking methods, and we noted that there were no noticeable differences between myofibrillars proteins and sarcoplasmic proteins for the two fish species in their ability to bind water and their ability to form gel. It was also noted that there was a slight difference in the capacity of emulsions and their stability to myofibrillars proteins as well as to proteins sarcoplasm between the two types of fish. 7. The fish type, preservation methods, cooking methods, and di-interference had a significant effect at the probability level (P ≤ 0.05) on the percentage of solubility and the amount of water and oil absorbed by the myofibrillars and sarcoplasmic proteins separated from the meat of these fish, but did not significantly impact the viscosity of the protein.

A study was conducted to observe the captive breeding performance with maturing sages and fry nursing of the threatened indigenous fish species Notopterus chitala at Arabpur fish farm  (Longitude 89°12'15" E, Latitude 23°10'30" N), Jessore, Bangladesh during 1998 to 2001. The peak period of ovulation for N. chitala was found from July to August and the fish attained its first maturity at third year of age. Captive breeding is the most effective and basis process in case of N. chitala when cemented tank was used for collection of fertilized eggs, percentage of fertilization and hatching in stead of bamboo pole, plastic barrel, cemented tank and barrel made of tin. In the nursery practices live benthos, hatching of Thai punti and silver carp were used as feed of the spawn but the highest growth and survivability of the fish fry obtained by using Barbodes gonionotus (thai punti) spawn and live Tubifex sp. (benthos).Key Words: Fertilization; hatching; growth; survivabilitydoi: 10.3126/eco.v13i0.1628Ecoprint (An International Journal of Ecology) Vol. 13, No. 1, 2006 Page : 41-47

The objective of our study was to survey the accumulated 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin (GSM) in fillets of five important farmed fish species in Hungarian aquaculture in relation to MIB and GSM concentrations in water and sediment in the aquatic systems where they were raised: (the planktivorous silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), the herbivorous grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), the bottom-feeding omnivorous common carp (Cyprinus carpio), the omnivorous tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and the carnivorous African catfish (Clarias gariepinus)). Water, sediment and fish samples were collected from different experimental aquatic systems which included a combined aquaculture–algae (CAA) system, effluent-fed fishponds, a pond recycling system and a traditional fishpond. MIB and GSM contents were extracted with distillation-headspace solid-phase – microextraction (SPME) and extracts analysed by GC-MS. Results showed that off-flavour contents in fish fillets were related to the feeding habits of the studied fish species. Higher GSM concentrations were found in the fillet of bottom-feeding common carp than in the silver carp or African catfish in all studied aquatic systems. Usually, low GSM concentrations were detected in the water of fishponds but sometimes the levels of this odour compound in carp fillet were well above the limits of human detection. This suggests that the off-flavour tainting of common carp may originate from the sediment or benthic algal/actinomycete sources. Negligible MIB levels were found in all samples in all of the studied aquatic systems.

Background Fish and fisheries are important for the livelihoods, food, and income of the rural population in Bangladesh. Increased rice production and changing agricultural patterns have resulted in a large decline in inland fisheries. Implementation of carp pond polyculture has been very successful, whereas little focus has been given to the commonly consumed small indigenous fish species, some of which are rich in vitamin A and minerals, such as calcium, iron, and zinc, and are an integral part of the rural diet. Objective The overall objective of the research and capacity-building activities described in this paper is to increase the production, accessibility, and intake of nutrient-dense small indigenous fish species, in particular mola ( Amblypharyngodon mola), in order to combat micronutrient deficiencies. The large contribution from small indigenous fish species to recommended intakes of vitamin A and calcium and the perception that mola is good for or protects the eyes have been well documented. Methods An integrated approach was conducted jointly by Bangladeshi and Danish institutions, linking human nutrition and fisheries. Activities included food-consumption surveys, laboratory analyses of commonly consumed fish species, production trials of carp–mola pond polyculture, teaching, training, and dissemination of the results. Results No decline in carp production and thus in income was found with the inclusion of mola, and increased intake of mola has the potential to combat micronutrient deficiencies. Teaching and training of graduates and field staff have led to increased awareness of the role of small indigenous fish species for good nutrition and resulted in the promotion of carp–mola pond polyculture and research in small indigenous fish species. The decline in accessibility, increase in price, and decrease in intake of small indigenous fish species by the rural poor, as well as the increased intake of silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), the most commonly cultured fish species, which is poor in micronutrients and not preferred for consumption, are being addressed, and some measures taken by inland fisheries management have been discussed. Conclusions The successful linking of human nutrition and fisheries to address micronutrient deficiencies has relevance for other countries with rich fisheries resources, such as Cambodia and countries in the Lake Victoria region of Africa.

An experiment was conducted to assess the relative performances of indigenous and exotic fish species under commercial culture system at Muktagacha and Trishal upazila in Mymensingh district. Six exotic fish species namely Thai koi (Anabas testudineus), Thai pangus (Pangusius hypophthalmus), Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), Vietnam koi (Anabas testudineus), Big head carp (Aristichthys nobilis) and Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and nine indigenous fish species namely Rui (Labeo rohita), Shing (Heteropneustes fossilis), Sar punti (Puntius sarana), Gulsha (Mystus bleekeri), Koi (Anabas testudineus), Mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus), Kalibaush (Labeo calbasu), Catla (Catla catla) and Magur (Clarias batrachus) were selected in Muktagacha while exotic Big head carp and indigenous Gulsha, Koi and Magur were lacking for observation in Trishal upazila. Results revealed that the production of exotic Thai pangus was comparatively higher in Muktagacha (5810.81 kg/acre) than Trishal (4521.74 kg/acre) upazila. In contrast, silver carp and tilapia production were 3063.04 kg/acre and 1008.26 kg/acre in Trishal, respectively which were higher than Muktagacha. Average selling price of tilapia, Vietnam koi and silver carp was also comparatively higher in Muktagacha than Trishal upazila. Similar observation was also obtained in respect of indigenous fish species. On the other hand, average selling price of shing was found highest (BDT. 333.33 per kg) in Muktagacha than Trishal while other fish species were sold at similar price. Gross income was also significantly higher with the exotic fishes in Muktagacha accounted for BDT. 858,716/acre/cycle while the highest gross income obtained with the indigenous fishes was in Trishal upazila, valued BDT. 121,5987/acre/cycle. It can be concluded that, both indigenous and exotic fish farming has spread in the area because of easy to adopt culture system, availability of fry, feed, good profit and high demand in the market. Some limitations of the ongoing practices have been identified that need to be addressed properly by the concerned authority. Progressive Agriculture 29 (4): 371-379, 2018

The chemical and fatty acid composition were evaluated of commercially important fish species (common carp, silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, Wels catfish, and zander) which were collected from retail stores in the area of Novi Sad, Republic of Serbia. The amount of protein was the highest in zander (19.27%) and the lowest in grass carp fillets (14.73%). The percentage of fat ranged from 1.8 in zander to 10.07 in common carp. The total cholesterol content was the highest in Chinese carps fillets (approximately 65.38 mg/100 g), and the lowest in Wels catfish (33.14 mg/100 g). SFA were lowest in zander (28.6%). Bighead carp meat contained the highest percentage of PUFA (33.73%) while the lowest percentage was detected in common carp (20.1%). The chemical and fatty acid compositions of fish vary greatly between different species and within the same species. The quality of fish meat in Serbian retail stores is quite good but it should be improved by using feed mixtures on fish ponds.

The article touches upon the principles, biological basics and practical progress of introduction of specific and age polyculture of fishes. Using the results of the analysis of literary and long-term native data, there has been offered the gradation of 12 fish species from different families by resistance to habitat conditions. Crucian ( Carassius gibelio ) has been chosen as the most sustainable object of cultivation. There has been taken an attempt to calculate the number of seeding different fish species in polyculture taking into account their physiological features is made. Subject to specific physiological features of the studied species, there was carried out recalculation of their natural reproductive performance in different fish-breeding zones, which is traditionally carried out for a carp ( Cyprinus carpio ). In particular, in the second fish-breeding zone with area of 1 hectare it is possible to breed 120 kg of carp, or 150 kg of crucian, or 75 kg of silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys ). Overall productivity is made up of a share of fishes in polyculture, but taking into account tolerance of species, it can be lower than productivity calculated for carp. The method of calculation and formulas which give the chance to determine seeding density of fish species for breeding in polyculture have been offered. This technique makes it possible to use trophic preferences and consider tolerance of each species to the conditions of breeding areas.
