Studies regarding some morphological features of one-summer old catfish (Silurus glanis Linnaeus, 1758)
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The present paper investigates some representative metric characters (total length, standard bodily length, head length, maximum height and bodily circumference) of wels catfish (Silurus glanis) during their first growing summer. Biometric analyses were performed on 70 individuals and in the end the morphological characters were statistically processed. The experimental results showed a positive correlation between all body variables investigated.

The efficiency of the aquaculture using recirculating systems depends on many factors among which the most important it is the energy consumption of the system. To assure a high level energy conservation in an aquatic re...
Effect of astaxanthin and cholesterol on growth, survival, and pigmentation of adult spiny lobster, Panulirus ornatus (Decapoda, Palinuridae).
Prior research on the spiny lobster Panulirus ornatus (Fabricius, 1798) determined that intermediate levels of cholesterol are important in diets, but astaxanthin may not be. Here we examined how the growth, survival and...
