Effects of herbal mixture (Jedi, Gbewutu and Opa-eyin) on the health status of juvenile African catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

The effect of feeding level and water supply on the total content of plasma protein (TPP) and fractions of these proteins (PPF) of young African catfish was studied. It was found that TPP can be divided into 4 fractions (PPF I-IV), of which PPF I is predominant. Analysis of the results showed a strong effect of feeding level on TPP and PPF I-IV. There was a positive correlation between TPP and the weights of PPF I-IV, and a negative correlation between PPF I and PPF II. The PPF I fraction might be usable as an indicator for the health status of young catfishes. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

This research aimed to evaluate the health status, growth performance, and meat quality of African catfish Clariasgariepinus maintained in biofloc and nonbiofloc systems. This study applied 3 treatments with 4 replications, i.e.K500 (control, a non-biofloc system at a fish stocking density of 500/m3), BF500 (biofloc system at a fish stockingdensity of 500/m3), and BF700 (biofloc system at a fish stocking density of 700 /m3). The initial body length andbodyweight of the fish used in this experiment were 10–12 cm and 10–12g, respectively. Feeding was done byusing a commercial feed containing 29.76% protein content. The results showed that fish survival in treatmentsBF500 and BF700 were significantly different (P<0.05) from the control. The growth rate of African catfish in thecontrol (K) was the lowest (3.64 ± 0.56%) among the treatments. The results of the organosensory test showed thatthe application of biofloc systems produced a higher quality of fish meat with a range value of 7–9 compared to thatof the control with a range of 6–7. In conclusion, the application of biofloc systems could improve the fish healthstatus, growth performance, and meat quality of African catfish.

Penelitian ini menggunakan 3perlakuan dengan 4 kali ulangan, yang terdiri dari: K500 (kontrol, sistem nonbioflok dengan kepadatan ikan 500ekor/m3), perlakuan BF500 (sistem bioflok dengan kepadatan ikan 500 ekor/m3), dan perlakuan BF700 (sistembioflok dengan kepadatan ikan 700 ekor/m3). Ikan yang digunakan berukuran panjang dan bobot awal masingmasing10–12 cm dan 10–12 g. Pemberian pakan dilakukan dengan menggunakan pakan komersil dengan 29,76%protein. Hasil penelitian menunjukan tingkat kelangsungan hidup antara perlakuan BF500 dan BF700 berbeda nyata(P<0.05) dengan perlakuan K500. Laju pertumbuhan ikan lele pada perlakuan K500 lebih rendah dibandingkanperlakuan lain. Hasil pengujian organosensory menunjukkan bahwa ikan yang dipelihara dalam sistem bioflokmenghasilkan kualitas daging yang lebih tinggi dengan kisaran nilai 7–9 dibandingkan dengan ikan K500 dengannilai 6–7. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa aplikasi sistem bioflok dapat meningkatkanstatus kesehatan, laju pertumbuhan, dan kualitas daging ikan lele Afrika.

Biochemical Examination

Assessing the effect of Diuron herbicide on post juvenile African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) using specific biochemical markers could provide vital information concerning the health status with regards to electrolyte determination. The fishes were subjected to different concentrations of diuron of (0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5mgL-1 respectively) for 96hrs and the alterations in the serum enzymes, metabolites and ion level were determined. The lethal concentration (LC50) value of the herbicide was 1.0mg L-1 for 96h of exposure. During the experiment different behavioural changes were observed and recorded and blood samples were collected after 96hours of experiment to check for the effect of fish exposed to different concentration of diuron herbicide and the parameters observed were serum enzymes (ALT, ALP, AST and LDH). Biochemical examination was also carried out to know the changes in Total protein, glucose and cortisol level. Ion level examination was carried out to assess changes in sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-). It was observed that there were significant differences (P˂0.05) in the serum enzymes analysis, biochemical examination and ion level examination and these parameters revealed differences with varying concentrations of diuron herbicide. Thus, diuron possesses toxicity effects on C. gariepinus Keywords: Herbicide, Clarias gariepinus, serum enzymes

Background: Natural preservatives are compounds produced by natural ingredients that can suppress bacterial growth and development. Natural preservatives are carried out because most of the preservatives circulating are chemicals and unsafe for the body. One of the natural preservatives is by using garlic extract (Allium sativum L). Objective: This study is aimed to determine the effectiveness of the antibacterial garlic (Allium sativum L) as a natural preservative in fresh African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Method: This research used the Pour Plate iroculation method. African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) which is soaked with garlic (Allium sativum L) with a concentration of 7%, 14% and 21% for 30 minutes, then the fish will be kept at room temperature with a storage period of 24 hours and 48 hours and calculated growth in bacterial numbers with the Colony counter. Result: Based on the research result, it was found that garlic extract (Allium sativum L) can obstruct the effectiveness of antibacterial in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) at a concentration of 14%.

Vapor Liquid

Effect of four types of diluentss and four concentration of DMSO (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) against the motility of African catfish sperm were evaluated after storage at freezing temperatures. The steps in preparation the 16 treatments combination of the diluents are preparation of diluents, mixing diluents with DMSO, packing of semen into 0.3-ml straw, equilibration of semen at 4 °C for 30 minutes, freezing of semen in nitrogen vapor liquid at a height of 6.5 cm for 10 minutes, and subsequently storage of semen in liquid nitrogen (-196 0C) for further analysis of post-thawing motility (PTM). The result showed that the highest level of motility of spermatozoa was in treatment P1D15 (45.7 ± 4.3%) and the lowest was in treatment P2D20 (14.5 ± 13.2%). The best diluent in this observation was diluents containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and NaHCO3. The best concentration was DMSO 15%. While the best interaction between the concentration of DMSO diluents is P1D15 treatments containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl 2 and NaHCO3 with a combination of 15% DMSO concentration. The conclusion of the research is that diluents containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and NaHCO3 with a combination of 15% DMSO concentration can be used in cryopreservation of African catfish semen.
