With the growing understanding of the importance of microplastic (MP) pollution, which has significantly impacted several aquatic ecosystems of the world. The diverse range of aquatic ecosystems, including seas, oceans, freshwater bodies and wetlands, coupled with the rich variety of species inhabiting them, continually provides new insights into the daily impacts of MP pollution. In...

This study investigates the reproductive viability of Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) in aquaculture settings, focusing on the impact of maturation timing on breeding success and reproductive performance. Hormone-induced spawning was employed, and gamete quality was evaluated to compare two distinct maturation groups: Early-Maturing (EM, 10 + years) and Late-Maturing (LM, 20 + years). Both groups received identical hormone doses...

The suckermouth catfish (SMF) is an invasive species in Bangladesh that has had a huge negative impact on ecosystems including rivers, lakes and wetlands. Several SMFs had been introduced as aquarium fish in the early 80‘s. The first report of this fish in Bangladesh was recorded in 2008; more recently, it has been banned in...

İnsan vücudunun sağlıklı olmasında en önemli etkenlerden biri beslenmedir. Sağlıklı ve dengeli beslenmenin en önemli basamaklarından biri de, ihtiyaç dahilinde olan proteinin yeterli ve dengeli tüketimidir. Bu anlamda beslenmede büyük gereksinim olan balık eti, hem içeriğindeki zengin proteinle hem de çoklu doymamış yağ asitleriyle insan vücudu için oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, Artvin...

Aquaculture is pivotal to global food security and economic development, contributing over 87.5 million metric tons (MMT) to world fish production (FAO, 2022). This study contrasts the aquaculture practices of Bangladesh and Turkey, highlighting their respective contributions and challenges within the sector. Bangladesh, ranking 5th in global aquaculture, produced approximately 4.05 MMT of inland fisheries...

Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL), a superfood rich in protein and vitamins, is native to the Indian subcontinent. Moringa were added to the broodstock trout diet to examine their influence on the reproductive performance of male broodstock rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Females were fed with a commercial broodstock trout diet without any inclusion of moringa leaves....

The superfood Moringa oleifera leaves are an alternative food source for human nutrition and ani-mal feeds in different countries. This highly nutritious plant has several medicinal uses as well. Abundant vitamins and minerals make this plant a source of curiosity to underdeveloped and de-veloping countries to meet the requirements of nutrients. Higher crude protein levels...

In this study, the effect of the chamber used for the automated analysis of sperm motility and sperm kinematics parameters by CASA was evaluated of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) sperms. The assessment of motility parameters was carried out using CEROS II (Hamilton-Thorne, Beverly, MA, USA) connected to CX41 microscope (Olympus, Japan) at room temperature. Sperm...
