An experiment was carried out to find the salinity tolerance capability and growth performance of Climbing Perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1795). Anabas testudineus commonly cultured fish in Bangladesh was reared in laboratory conditions at different salinities of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21‰ for 60 days. Hundred per cent survivals were detected at 0, 3, 6 and 9‰ salinity while 100% mortality was recorded at 18 and 21‰ salinity. Various responses to threat and feeding were observed among the fish in different treatments. Lowest feed conversion ratio was found in the control group while the highest was detected at 15‰ salinity. On the other hand, decreasing trend of specific growth and average growth rate were observed in A. testudineus fingerlings from 0 to 15‰ salinity. Significantly higher specific growth rate and average growth rate were detected in A. testudineus fingerlings reared at 0 - 6‰ salinity (p < 0.05). The present study suggests that Climbing Perch fingerlings can be reared at fresh water growth rates in coastal water with salinity up to 6‰.Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 25(1): 65-73, 2016

Some controversy remains regarding the effects of aquatic exercise on body weight and composition. The purpose of this study was to determine the short-term impacts of the WATERinMOTION aquatics exercise program on body weight and composition without nutritional intervention in sedentary older women with overweight/ obesity. The study was developed as a quasi-experimental project (pre/post-study). Forty-four inactive women were volunteers from a convenience sample with a mean age of 71.1±5.7 years (Ukraine, 2019). Participants were allocated randomly into two groups: WATERinMOTION (n=22) or a control group (n=22). Meanwhile, the WATERinMOTION group performed the WATERinMOTION exercise programme with two weekly sessions of 55 minutes each. The control subjects did not participate in any physical exercises. They were asked to perform their routine activities during the study. Both programmes lasted one month. Height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fat mass (FM), total body water (TBW), and free fat mass (FFM) were the anthropometric variables that were measured pre/post-study. The analysis found statistically significant differences in body weight (-0.7, P=0.004), BMI (-0.3, P=0.002), and FM (-0.6, P=0.03) between the pre and post measurements of the WATERinMOTION group. Moreover, the comparison of groups at post revealed a significant difference in body weight (P˂0.001), BMI (P˂0.001), TBW (P=0.005), FM (P˂0. 001), FFM (P=0.003), and WC (P=0.007). The WATERin- MOTION programme, which is not associated with nutritional monitoring, showed significant benefits for losing weight and the body composition of sedentary older women who are overweight and/or obese.

The paper provided the first data about age structure and growth of the Lataste’s toad, Bufotes latastii (Boulenger, 1882), from the Jammu and Kashmir State (India). The study of age structure of toads was carried out using skeletochronology. The minimal and maximal ages in males of B. latastii were 3 and 10 years, respectively, with mean age of 6.0 years. The majority of males (70%) were 5 or 6 years old. The age in females ranged from 4 to 10 years with mean value of 5.9 years. The majority of females (71%) were 4 – 6 years old. Males of B. latastii can reach maturation after three winterings and females after four winterings. The body length increment in males is 3.6 times, whereas in females is 3.7 – 4.0 times. After maturation, the growth rate is retarded and the individuals of different ages did not differ in its body length. In spite of maximal age of 10 years in both sexes, the largest male was 5 years old and the largest female was 4 years old.

Effective Strategies

Inefficient feed management strategy in aquaculture will increase the fish production cost. One of the most effective strategies to solve this problem is through a better understanding of the compensatory growth of cultured fish. O. niloticus BEST tilapia strain (total length: 7.23 ± 0.11 cm mean ± SD; Body weight: 7.04 ± 0.08 g mean ± SD) were reared in aquariums at 26.3 ± 1.4oC for 10 weeks. During the experiment, the control group was fed twice a day. The other two groups were deprived of food for one and two weeks and then fed twice a day during refeeding period. At the end of the experiment, the fish deprived for one week had a body weight, biomass and specific growth rate that were not significantly different from the control group. The body weight, biomass and specific growth rate of fish deprived for two weeks were significantly lower than the other groups. This study revealed that concentrations of ash and lower concentrations of protein and lipid on the deprived groups were higher compared to those without feed deprivation. Mortality of fish was lower than 9% and not significantly different among the treatments. Fish aggressive behavior was the main reason for injuries and death. Given the results, BEST tilapia strain was only able to reach complete growth compensation not longer than one week deprivation period. The results of the present study could be applied as basic information for further research on feeding management of BEST tilapia strain.

A study was conducted on twelve Karan Fries (Holstein Friesian X Tharparkar) heifers, (10-12 months), in LRC of NDRI, Karnal.Heifers were divided equally into two groups i.e. control, and treatment (supplemented with astaxanthin@ 0.25 mg per kgBW per day per animal) to assess the heat stress ameliorative action of astaxanthin during summer season. During experimental period, environmental variables were recorded and THI was calculated to assess levels of summer stress. Blood samples were collected from both the group of heifers at fortnightly interval for quantification of plasma leptin and ghrelin hormones.Body weights of heifers were recorded at monthly interval. The body weight gain and ADG were significantly (P  0.05) higher in treatment group. Feed intake was higher (P  0.05) and FCR was lower (P  0.05) in astaxanthin supplemented group.Plasma leptin was higher(P  0.05), while,plasma ghrelinand surface skin temperature were numerically lower in treatment than control group of heifers.The study found that astaxanthin supplementation amelio rated the negative impact of summer stress and helped in enhancement of growth rate and ADG by improving the feed intake and by decreasing the FCR of heifers.

1. A crossing experiment was carried out between two breeds of sheep: the Wiltshire Horn—a breed with a short-stapled fleece which is normally shed both in lambs and adults, and the Scottish Blackface—which has a long-stapled carpet type of fleece. Animals of F1, F2 and both backcross generations were studied for gross characteristics of the fleece.2. The influence of the Wiltshire genotype caused a high incidence of fleece-shedding animals amongst all the crosses. Three separate components of the shedding process were distinguished: (a) the ability to shed, (b) the extent of shedding—or proportion of the body area denuded, (c) the time of onset of shedding. Attributes (a) and (b) were determined genetically; control was probably on a multifactorial basis, although there may have been fewer genes involved than for the other characters studied. Given the genetically determined existence of (a) and (b), (c) was apparently controlled by the environment. Seasonal change in day length was postulated as a major operative factor.3. The mid-side staple length of Wiltshire crosses was less than that of the Blackface parents. The decrease resulted partly from shedding and partly also from a reduction in the average growth rate of some fibres. When corrected for shedding the mean staple lengths of the crosses were about equal to the values theoretically expected on the basis of multifactorial inheritance without directional dominance.4. The mean fleece weight of the Wiltshire crosses was less than that of the Blackface parents, due, about equally, to: (a) loss of wool by fleece shedding, (b) reduced wool production—probably caused, at least partly, by the decreased average growth rate of some of the component fibres of the fleece. Differences in wool production appeared to be inherited multifaetorially.

Tag Retention

Fish telemetry is increasingly used to study fish behaviour in marine systems and it is crucial that the tagging does not affect fish behaviour and welfare negatively. Hence, the long-term effects of surgically implanted acoustic telemetry transmitters on survival, tag retention, healing and growth on Pomatomus saltatrix (known as tailor in Australia, elf in South Africa and bluefish in North America) were studied over 144 days. P. saltatrix are well suited for transmitter implants because no tagging-related short- or long-term mortality or transmitter expulsion was recorded. Small transmitters (9 × 28 mm, 3.3 g in water) did not affect the specific growth rate of tagged fish compared with an untagged control group. In contrast, the fish tagged with large transmitters (13 × 50 mm, 6.9 g in water) had a reduced specific growth rate. The small, but not the large transmitter, seemed suitable for tagging P. saltatrix of the body sizes represented in this study (215–621 g). The specific growth rate was negatively affected by increasing the transmitter-mass-in-water to body-mass ratio. It is recommended that this ratio should not exceed 1.4%.

An experiment was conducted with 15 Black Bengal kids of both sexes (in 3 groups) were fed two different milk replacer using ingredient shotti (T1), skim milk (T2) and no milk replacer- kids with mother, termed as control group (T0) at Southern agro trade, Subarnachar, Noakhali. The average total DM intake and milk dry matter intake were not significantly differed among the treatment group. Total dry matter intake was not affected by intake of liquid milk replacer or goat milk. The CP intake were ranged from 19.97 to 20.93 g/d. Total CP intake was not significantly differed among the group but T1 group was slightly higher(0.42 g/d) than T0 and T2. The amount of protein intake (g/d) was followed NRC (1985) recommendation. DMI from concentrate (g/d), DMI from green grass (g/d) and DMI from percent live weight were not significantly differed among the treatment groups. The average daily gain was not significantly (P>0.05) differed among the treatment group. The average growth rate (57.42 – 61.20 g/d) of all kid of Black Begal goat was lower than the Angora goats (115.00-125.00 g/d) and Alpine goats (153.00-258.00 g/d). Dry matter (DM) digestibility (%) was significantly (p<0.05) higher (74.45) in T1 group compare to other groups. CP digestibility was numerically higher in T1 group than other three groups. The digestibility of nutrient depends on physiology of kids, particularly the development and capacity of the digestive tract. The lower growth rate might be genetic characteristics of Black Bengal goat.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2016, 2(2): 357-360

The Individual

About 2600 bullfrogs have been captured in three small lakes of the Laurentian region and 1863 among them have been marked and released. The study of the body length growth has been made by three methods (age lecture on pterygoïds, body length histograms, mark–recapture), which give concordant results: 59 mm at 1 year, 81 mm at 2 years, 108 mm at 3 years, 125 mm at 4 years, 137 mm at 5 years, 143 mm at 6 years. The biggest, measuring 162 mm, might have been 8 or 9 years old. The growth rate is the most important between 2 and 3 years, when bullfrogs reach sexual maturity. The body weight is 18 g at 1 year and 40 g at 2 years. At 3 years, the females weigh 101 g and the males 96 g. and at 5 years, the weights are respectively 215 and 194 g. Bullfrogs between 45 and 65 mm eat mostly in sects and the biggest ones eat mostly frogs, tadpoles, fish, and crayfish. The mating calls were heard by the end of May and the spawning occurs between the 20th of June and the 10th of July. The number of eggs (3 826 to 23 540) depends on the size of the individual. Sexual maturity is generally reached at 3 years when bullfrogs measure between 95 and 110 mm. However, some individuals reach sexual maturity at 2 years and some others at 4 years. Our results were compared with those of the literature.
