Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(8):461-469.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e39

The objective of this study was to evaluate how the tank colours may change the effects of extreme temperature on the survival, growth, and quality of juvenile golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus). The experiment was set up with fifteen treatments of five tank colours (blue, red, yellow, grey, and white) and three temperatures (30°C, 32°C, 34°C) with three replications. Fish performance was assessed for four weeks. The results showed that tank colours and elevated temperatures affected the quality of golden trevally juveniles. The ...

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(8):470-481.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e40

Algal overgrowth in shrimp culture ponds can affect the quality of the aquatic environment, thereby adversely affecting the shrimp and causing economic losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation in phytoplankton composition in intensive shrimp ponds in Bac Lieu province, Vietnam. Phytoplankton samples were collected in three black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) ponds and three whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) ponds. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and canonical correlation analysis software...

Food and feeding habits of Labeobarbus intermedius in the recently built Ribb Reservoir, Northwest Ethiopia

Minwyelet Mingist, Amare Dessie, Dagnew Mequanent, Degsera Aemro

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(8):482-490.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e41

Food and feeding habits of Labeobarbus intermedius were studied from the newly constructed Ribb Reservoir, Ethiopia during the dry (December–March) season and wet season (June–August) of 2021. The objective of the study was to determine the diet composition, seasonal variation, and ontogenetic dietary shift in the diets of the dominant cyprinid fish in Ribb Reservoir. In this study, frequency of occurrence and volumetric analysis methods were used to present the results. From a total of 203 fish samples, 132 (65%) guts contained food...

Fisheries in Lake Tinishu Abaya (Ethiopia) could be managed using dietary nature of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L. 1757)

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(8):491-499.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e42

Lake Tinisu Abaya is home to some fish species. The lake’s native fish species include Barbus and Tilapia zilli. Tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus L.) were stocked in Lake Tinishu Aabaya in 1997. This study aimed to investigate the feeding behaviors of O. niloticus in Lake Tinishu Abaya to develop an appropriate fisheries management approach in the lake. 428 O. niloticus fish samples (2.5 to 30.9 cm and 1.1 to 475 g) were collected to calculate the diet composition. Out of the total of 428 gut contents examined, ...

The effects of prolonged photoperiod (additional night lighting) were investigated on the production of Ocimum basilicum (lemon basil) and fish/crayfish raised in a nutrient film technique aquaponic system. Hybrid lemon fin barb and red claw crayfish juveniles were co-cultured with O. basilicum and subjected to 12 h of ambient natural daylight and additional 0, 4, 8, and 12 h of night lighting for 14 weeks (two batches of 7 weeks each). The water quality parameters and the performance characteristics of the fish/crayfish/plant wer...

Preliminary study on the visual sensitivity of Oreochromis niloticus using LED light source for the aquaculture development in Uganda

Esther Kagoya, Kyoungmi Kang

Fish Aquat Sci 2023;26(8):514-523.
https://doi.org/10.47853/FAS.2023.e44

The visible threshold of Oreochromis niloticus responded to high light intensity under short wavelengths, whereas the response to low light intensity under long wavelengths was low, with a minimum visual threshold of 574 nm of LED lights. Movement distance of O. niloticus was dropped at 31°C and increased abnormally at 37°C under natural light. Comparing movement distance under red (622 nm) and green (518 nm) lights of LED, movement distance and swimming speed under red and green lights were higher than under natural light. How...
