Faster growing African catfish can be produced by transgenesis. This study was conducted to investigate the distribution and expression of growth hormone gene (PhGH) in various organs of the transgenic African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) founder (F0). Transgene was detected using the PCR method in various organs, namely pituitary, brain, liver, heart, spleen, kidney, intestine, stomach, muscle, caudal fin, gill and eye. Transgene expression levels were analyzed using the method of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), -actin gene used as internal controls. The results showed that the PhGH was detected and expressed in all organs of the transgenic African catfish founder. The high level of PhGH expression was found in the liver, pituitary, intestine and brain; smaller amounts were detectable in muscle, spleen, kidneys, heart, and stomach, caudal fin, gill and eyes, range from 0.02-0.75 PhGH/-actin mRNA. The expression levels of PhGH had positive correlation with tissue and body size (P<0.05).

The problem in Mutiara strain of North African catfish Clarias gariepinus culture is that the production of both larvae and seeds is still inhibited by the seasonal reproductive cycle where the catfish only spawn once during the spawning season.  The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effect of administration of oodev and estradiol-17ß on the maturity process and to determine the best doses in accelerating the maturion of female Mutiara strain. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 3 individual replications. The treatments were combination between dose Oodev (PMSG and Anti-Dopamine) and dose Estradiol-17ß in feed (both doses in ml/kg feed):A(0+0), B(0.5+0), C(0+0.6), D(0.5+0,6), E(1+1). The results of this study showed that the administration of Oodev and Estradiol-17ß significant affect on gonadal maturity index about 82.21% compared to control and acclerating maturation of female mutiara strain with doses the best is the treatment E (oodev 1 ml/kg feed+estradiol-17ß 1 ml/kg feed).Key words: Clarias gariepinus, dose, estradiol-17ß, maturation, oodev

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%.

<p><em>Effect of four types of diluents</em><em>s</em><em> and four concentration of DMSO (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) against the motility of African catfish sperm were evaluated after storage at freezing temperatures. </em><em>The steps in preparation the 16 treatments combination of the diluents</em><em> </em><em>are </em><em>preparation of diluents, mixing </em><em>diluents </em><em>with DMSO, packing </em><em>of semen </em><em>in</em><em>to</em><em> 0.3-ml straw, equilibration of </em><em>semen </em><em>at 4 °C for 30 minutes, freezing </em><em>of </em><em>semen in nitrogen vapor liquid </em><em>at </em><em>a height of 6.5 cm for 10 minutes</em><em>,</em><em> and subsequent</em><em>ly</em><em> storage of </em><em>semen </em><em>in liquid nitrogen (-196</em><em> <sup>0</sup></em><em>C) for further analy</em><em>sis</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>post-thawing motility (PTM). </em><em>The result showed that t</em><em>he highest level of motility of spermatozoa </em><em>was </em><em>in </em><em>treatment </em><em>P</em><em><sub>1</sub></em><em>D</em><em><sub>15 </sub></em><em>(45.7 ± 4.3%) and the lowest </em><em>was </em><em>in </em><em>treatment </em><em>P<sub>2</sub>D<sub>20</sub> (14.5 ± 13.2%).

Bone hydrolysates from bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) were prepared using Protamex and Alcalase with degrees of hydrolysis (DH) of 5%, 10% and 15%. The antioxidant activity of bone hydrolysates was evaluated in vitro and then the hydrolysates with better antioxidant activity were used to immerse bighead carp fillets through a vacuum impregnation process at concentrations of 1% and 2%. Among the six hydrolysates, fish bone hydrolyzed with Protamex at DH 10% exhibited the highest ability to scavenge 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (88.79%), 2, 2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) (57.76%) and hydroxyl radicals (62.72%), as well as to chelate ferrous ions (91.46%). The hydrolysates effectively postponed freezing- and thawing-induced protein/lipid oxidation. Compared with the fillets without treatment, the impregnated fillets had higher sulfhydryl contents, greater Ca2+-ATPase activity, lower carbonyls and lower thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). Bone hydrolysates also have a positive effect on the texture and water-holding ability of freeze-thawed fish fillets. Fish bone hydrolysates of Protamex could serve as potential antioxidants to preserve fish fillets.
