Nutraceuticals, trace metals and radioactivity in edible seaweeds for food sa...ijtsrd
Seaweeds are of potential nutraceutical and medicinal values due to their wide range of constituents such as proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, peptides, minerals, vitamins, and hydrocolloids. However, the seaweeds accumulate toxic heavy metals from their habitats, depending on land discharges, seasons, growth phase and duration of life cycle. As seaweeds are widely used as seafood and food ingredients of various delicious food items, some countries have regulatory rules for daily consumption of seaweeds and seaweeds based food items due to presence of heavy metals, but many countries even dont have such kind of regulatory limits, according to Food Administration organization (FAO) and World Health Organisation (WHO). Realising the importance of this issues, the present review aims to revaluate the biochemical composition of edible seaweeds including their heavy metals and radioactive elements for their potential use for human consumption so as to ensure food safety of the seaweeds.

Phytochemical screening and proximate composition of the sea grasses Enhalus ...Innspub Net
Knowledge of the chemical composition of seagrass is important both for the assessment of the nutritional value of marine invertebrate or vertebrate herbivores and for the evaluation of potential sources of protein, carbohydrates, and lipids for commercial use or for possible human consumption. While phytochemical screening provides basic information about the medicinal importance of the plant extract and are lead compound for drug discoveries. Proximate composition and phytochemical analyses were determined on the seagrass Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia hemprichii using standard methods on a dry basis. The result of the proximate composition showed that Enhalus acoroides contained 9.35% crude protein, 0.07% crude lipid, 54.94% carbohydrate contents and 35.64% ash. While Thalassia hemprichii contained 14.98% crude protein, 0.17% crude lipid, 52.87% carbohydrate contents and 31.98% ash. The phytochemicals detected in the methanolic extracts of Enhalus acoroides were alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, tannins, and steroids. While for Thalassia hemprichii were alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, tannins, triterpenoids and steroids. The results indicate that seagrass Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia hemprichii are good potential sources of highly nutritious feed stuff and the different active secondary metabolites along with significant bioactive potential might be helpful for the future pharmaceutical applications.

Maximum biomass production was obtained on 2.8, 4.1 g/l for molasses and date fruits soaked respectively. This source was substantially greater than could be attained on media that used various other carbon sources. The optimal medium for producing the biomass was a mineral medium formulated with 8% of date syrup as the carbon source and 0.5 g/L (NH4)2SO4as the nitrogen source. At optimal fermentation time of 48 hrs, at 30oC.Water soaked and date syrup can be used to inexpensively produce biomassin batch fermentations using B. megaterium as phosphorus solubilizing soil bacteria. Farther more studies should be focused on agriculture cheapest sources as nature alternatives for carbon ear nitrogen sources.
Nutrient and Bioactive Potentials of some Agricultural Food WastesPremier Publishers
The current research investigated the proximate, mineral content and phytochemical constituents of five (5) food wastes, namely: Telfairia occidentalis (fluted pumpkin) seed peels and pod; Artocarpus camansi (breadnut) seed peels and creamy pulp and Mucuna urens (horse eye bean) seed peels. The results of the proximate analysis of the food wastes revealed that the samples have varying percentage range of 51.70-70.25 for carbohydrate, 7.35-11.90 for protein, 1.90-6.20 for fat, 2.80-11.60 for fiber, 3.40-15.25 for ash and 4.40-18.15 for moisture. The percentage carbohydrate content showed that pumpkin seed peel had the lowest yield while pumpkin pod peel had the highest. The result of the mineral analysis revealed that the five food wastes analysed contain Zn, K, P, Ca, Mg, Fe and Na, however, the levels of Fe, Ca, P and Mg were significantly higher (p<0.05) relative to the other minerals. The phytochemical estimation of the samples showed that the food wastes contain several bioactive compounds in different concentrations. Some of the phytochemicals found in the food wastes are spartein, phytate, anthocyanin, tannin, lunamarin, ribalinidine, catechin, rutin, kaempferol, oxalate, epicatechin, phenol and sapogenin. This study revealed that these food wastes possess some nutritive and medicinal potential.

Evaluation of Nutritional Components of Carica papaya L. At Different Stages ...IOSR Journals
The study compared the nutritive value of Carica papaya L. fruit at different ripening stages with the
aim of advising consumers and biological world when best to consume the fruit. Proximate, mineral and vitamin
analysis were carried out on the pulp, peel and seeds of fruits. Results showed that unripe papaya is a good
source of carbohydrates, vitamins and proteins, and the content decreases as it ripens. Very ripe papaya is not a
good source of protein because unripe papaya contains more protein. The vitamin C content of the hard ripe
and very ripe pawpaw was found to be fairly high. Papaya at different stages is a good source of vitamin A and
mineral elements (Ca, Mg, Na and K). Unripe pawpaw contains the highest amount of all the non-nutritive
elements (Saponin, Alkaloid, Tannin, Flavonoid and Phenol) analyzed which are beneficial to the body. In view
of these differences, though very ripe pawpaw is sweet and good for consumption, the unripe pawpaw is
recommended for use due to its nutritive value.
Microalgae as a Potential Source of Biofuels and its Current Advances_ Crimson publishers
Microalgae as a Potential Source of Biofuels and its Current Advances by Chandan Haldar*, Raju Ram, Shyam Kumar and Lakan Lal Menna in crimson publishers: Journal of Marine Biology
Sustainable production of renewable energy is passionately debated worldwide since it is progressively understood that first-generation biofuels are primarily produced from food crops. Mostly oilseeds do not contain enough amount of fat content to achieve targets for biofuel production. These concerns have increased the attention in developing second-generation biofuels produced from non-food feed stocks such as microalgae, which potentially offer high-fat content. The advantages of biofuel over fossil fuel are they are less toxic, biodegradable and lower emission greenhouse gases. This article reviews the current status of microalgae use for biodiesel production, including their cultivation, harvesting, and processing. The economic development of the world is hugely dependent on fossil fuel supplies which are constrained not only by partial availability but also generate high levels of pollution.
Because of the limited fossil fuel, concerted efforts have been started to search for alternative bio fuels like biodiesel, bio ethanol and since the diesel is being used massively in industrial commercial, fisheries, agriculture, and other sectors. So, the production and consumption of biodiesel from oil seeds crops have been getting renewed interest in recent years in India to overcome the drawbacks of oil from oilseed crops. Biodiesel produced from micro-algae has several benefits over the above resources due to higher algal biomass and oil yields and the need of non-arable land for its growth. Industrial and municipal wastewaters can be applied for farming of microalgal oil that can be used for the production of biodiesel to entirely displace petro diesel. The micro algal biomass has been reported to yield high oil contents and has the diesel production. Accordingly, a lot of R & D work has been initiated for the growth, harvesting, oil extraction and conversion to biodiesel.

Effect of Fermentation Time and Blending Ratio on Nutrients and Some Anti Nut...Premier Publishers
Most complementary foods used in low-income households are often characterized by low nutrient density, poor protein quality, low mineral bioavailability, and low energy. Fermentation and blending are easily applicable approaches to improve the nutrient content and mineral bioavailability of such complementary foods. Therefore, this study aimed to develop nutritionally adequate complementary flour with a safe level of anti-nutrients. Three fermentation times (0, 24, and 36 hr) and four blends of composite flour consisting of maize, haricot bean, and cooking banana, respectively, in the proportion of 65:20:15, 60:30:10, 50:35:15, 30:60:10 were used in the formulation with 100% maize as control. Fermentation causes significant (P˂0.05) reduction in moisture, ash, crude fiber, iron, calcium, condensed tannin, and phytate. On the other hand, an increment of crude fat, protein, total carbohydrate, energy, zinc, Vitamin C were noted as fermentation time increased. Substitution of haricot bean and cooking banana to maize flour increased Ash, protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, energy value, vitamin C, calcium, iron, zinc, phytate, and condensed tannin in formulated composite flour. Based on the present finding fermentation and substitution of maize with haricot bean and cooking banana could be, recommended in the production of nutritious complementary food for older infants and young children.
The effect of cement as lime on rosette disease and cercospora leaf spot on g...AI Publications
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the world’s major food legume crops that is severely affected by early leaf spot and groundnut rosette disease in Sierra Leone. The recent decline in yields of groundnut in Sierra Leone has been associated with the low calcium application. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the potential of cement as lime in ameliorating rosette disease problem and low yield of groundnut in Sierra Leone. This experiment was conducted under field conditions at Njala, Kori chiefdom. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with five (5) treatment of cement application (0, 50, 100, 200 & 400 kg/ha). Disease severity for the rosette leaf spot was assessed based on a 1-3 scale while cercospora leaf spot was 1-9 scale for 39 high yielding groundnut lines. The application of cement at 0, 50, 100, 200, & 400 kg/ha did not have any significant influence on the incidence and severity of rosette or cercospora diseases. However, the improved lines ICGV 1954, ICGV 7445, ICGV UGA 2, ICGV 10900, ICGV 6284, ICGV 7437, and ICGV 9407 produced significantly higher yields and good resistance to cercospora leaf spot and groundnut rosette disease and were selected as potential candidates for release and future breeding programs. This study showed that cement could not be used as a control for early leaf spot and rosette disease. Therefore, farmers should plant groundnut varieties that are resistant to cercospora leaf spot and rosette disease for higher yields.
Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus amendment on the yield of a Chlorella sp. s...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— A strain of microalgae was isolated from phytoplankton samples collected from the sea coast of Amsheet, North Lebanon. Molecular diagnosis based on ribosomal RNA genes showed it to be most closely related to Chlorella sp. (GenBank accession KC188335.1) with over 90 % nucleotide identity. It was then evaluated whether N and P amendments of seawater fertilized with Guillard’s f/2 medium would improve algal growth and production. Addition of nitrogen (30 ppm) and/or phosphorus (2 ppm) to microalgae grown under laboratory conditions in 3L bioreactors resulted in improved biomass yield (mg dry matter/ L) by approximately 48%, and increased protein yield by approximately 56%, from 19.5% to 30.6% of DM content. Total protein yield/L of culture medium was therefore increased by approximately 83%. Total lipid content and carotenoid levels of the microalgal culture were not affected by the N+P amendement, whereas chlorophyll content was almost doubled. When lower levels of N+P supplementations, 10 and 20 ppm N, were tried, the biomass yield was also improved. The experiment was repeated in 20 L bioreactors in a plastic greenhouse, under normal environmental conditions, with an average temperature of 28°C and a maximum temperature of 36°C. At these relatively high temperatures, the growth rate was slowed down, but N supplementations at 10 and 20 ppm resulted in improved dry matter yield by 25 and 45% respectively, and protein content by 17 and 35%, respectively. Knowledge of the optimal culturing conditions of this local Chlorella strain is essential for its efficient production and is expected to serve future environmental and biotechnological purposes.
Importance of cinnamon as a growth and immunity promoter in Ctenopharyngodon ...Innspub Net
Aquaculture practices always strive for the betterment of human lives and for providing cheaper resources for fish production. As fish is the most common food source all over the world, its sustainable production is very important. The use of herbs provides a cheaper way towards the progress of aquaculture. Herbs are used in place of expensive chemicals and growth enhancers. Like others, cinnamon is also a good alternate for growth chemicals. Cinnamon is an aggregate of many related species with different names depending on the environmental conditions of different landmasses. Cinnamon contains many compounds and chemicals which are important for fish growth. Cinnamon when added to fish feed makes the fish fight against stress and grow healthy than before. Cinnamaldehydes, polyphenols, carbohydrates, flavonoids, etc., boost up the immune system of fish and act as an important antioxidant and antibiotic species. It fastens the growth rate of fish and enhances the other growth and blood parameters as compared to other aquaculture systems using chemicals. Moreover, the use of cinnamon as a growth and immunity promotor is cheaper and environmentally friendly.
Oral Administration of Pulverized Wood Charcoal on Growth, Feed Utilization, ...ijtsrd
A 35 day feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of pulverized wood charcoal PWC on the growth, feed utilization, survival and waste excretion of red tilapia Oreochromis sp. . Ninety red tilapias with an initial weight of 7.32 ± 1.31 g were acclimatized and randomly introduced into 9 aquaria in 3 groups with 10 fish per aquarium. Different levels of PWC 0 T0 , 1 T1 , and 2 T2 were incorporated in the diets of red tilapia for four weeks. After the experiment, average body weight ABW , specific growth rate SGR , relative growth rate RGR weight gain WG , feed conversion ratio FCR and survival rate SR of the experimental fish were computed. No significant differences were observed on feed utilization, survival, and waste excretion of the fish. Furthermore, ABW and WG of the experimental fish did not show any significant difference, however, significantly higher P 0.05 SGR and RGR were observed from T1 compared to the other treatments. Consequently, this study showed that supplementation of 1 PWC in the diet is the most suitable in improving the growth performance of red tilapia. Jaypee. S.

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the world’s major food legume crops that is severely affected by early leaf spot and groundnut rosette disease in Sierra Leone. The recent decline in yields of groundnut in Sierra Leone has been associated with the low calcium application. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the potential of cement as lime in ameliorating rosette disease problem and low yield of groundnut in Sierra Leone. This experiment was conducted under field conditions at Njala, Kori chiefdom. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with five (5) treatment of cement application (0, 50, 100, 200 & 400 kg/ha). Disease severity for the rosette leaf spot was assessed based on a 1-3 scale while cercospora leaf spot was 1-9 scale for 39 high yielding groundnut lines. The application of cement at 0, 50, 100, 200, & 400 kg/ha did not have any significant influence on the incidence and severity of rosette or cercospora diseases. However, the improved lines ICGV 1954, ICGV 7445, ICGV UGA 2, ICGV 10900, ICGV 6284, ICGV 7437, and ICGV 9407 produced significantly higher yields and good resistance to cercospora leaf spot and groundnut rosette disease and were selected as potential candidates for release and future breeding programs. This study showed that cement could not be used as a control for early leaf spot and rosette disease. Therefore, farmers should plant groundnut varieties that are resistant to cercospora leaf spot and rosette disease for higher yields.
Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus amendment on the yield of a Chlorella sp. s...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— A strain of microalgae was isolated from phytoplankton samples collected from the sea coast of Amsheet, North Lebanon. Molecular diagnosis based on ribosomal RNA genes showed it to be most closely related to Chlorella sp. (GenBank accession KC188335.1) with over 90 % nucleotide identity. It was then evaluated whether N and P amendments of seawater fertilized with Guillard’s f/2 medium would improve algal growth and production. Addition of nitrogen (30 ppm) and/or phosphorus (2 ppm) to microalgae grown under laboratory conditions in 3L bioreactors resulted in improved biomass yield (mg dry matter/ L) by approximately 48%, and increased protein yield by approximately 56%, from 19.5% to 30.6% of DM content. Total protein yield/L of culture medium was therefore increased by approximately 83%. Total lipid content and carotenoid levels of the microalgal culture were not affected by the N+P amendement, whereas chlorophyll content was almost doubled. When lower levels of N+P supplementations, 10 and 20 ppm N, were tried, the biomass yield was also improved. The experiment was repeated in 20 L bioreactors in a plastic greenhouse, under normal environmental conditions, with an average temperature of 28°C and a maximum temperature of 36°C. At these relatively high temperatures, the growth rate was slowed down, but N supplementations at 10 and 20 ppm resulted in improved dry matter yield by 25 and 45% respectively, and protein content by 17 and 35%, respectively. Knowledge of the optimal culturing conditions of this local Chlorella strain is essential for its efficient production and is expected to serve future environmental and biotechnological purposes.
Importance of cinnamon as a growth and immunity promoter in Ctenopharyngodon ...Innspub Net
Aquaculture practices always strive for the betterment of human lives and for providing cheaper resources for fish production. As fish is the most common food source all over the world, its sustainable production is very important. The use of herbs provides a cheaper way towards the progress of aquaculture. Herbs are used in place of expensive chemicals and growth enhancers. Like others, cinnamon is also a good alternate for growth chemicals. Cinnamon is an aggregate of many related species with different names depending on the environmental conditions of different landmasses. Cinnamon contains many compounds and chemicals which are important for fish growth. Cinnamon when added to fish feed makes the fish fight against stress and grow healthy than before. Cinnamaldehydes, polyphenols, carbohydrates, flavonoids, etc., boost up the immune system of fish and act as an important antioxidant and antibiotic species. It fastens the growth rate of fish and enhances the other growth and blood parameters as compared to other aquaculture systems using chemicals. Moreover, the use of cinnamon as a growth and immunity promotor is cheaper and environmentally friendly.
Oral Administration of Pulverized Wood Charcoal on Growth, Feed Utilization, ...ijtsrd
A 35 day feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of pulverized wood charcoal PWC on the growth, feed utilization, survival and waste excretion of red tilapia Oreochromis sp. . Ninety red tilapias with an initial weight of 7.32 ± 1.31 g were acclimatized and randomly introduced into 9 aquaria in 3 groups with 10 fish per aquarium. Different levels of PWC 0 T0 , 1 T1 , and 2 T2 were incorporated in the diets of red tilapia for four weeks. After the experiment, average body weight ABW , specific growth rate SGR , relative growth rate RGR weight gain WG , feed conversion ratio FCR and survival rate SR of the experimental fish were computed. No significant differences were observed on feed utilization, survival, and waste excretion of the fish. Furthermore, ABW and WG of the experimental fish did not show any significant difference, however, significantly higher P 0.05 SGR and RGR were observed from T1 compared to the other treatments. Consequently, this study showed that supplementation of 1 PWC in the diet is the most suitable in improving the growth performance of red tilapia. Jaypee. S.

A survey was carried out to investigate culture strategies, disease patterns and mitigations in mono-sex Nile tilapia in Jessore sadar region. Data obtained by questionnaire interview, individual interview, telephonic interview, PRA method, mono-sex Nile tilapia farm survey from four villages. It was observed that 30.769% farmers and farm owner had no training about culture of mono-sex Nile tilapia while 69.230% farmers and farm owner received short term training from different Department of Fisheries, different NGOs. Mono-sex Nile tilapia culture in ponds was basically a three-tier culture system. Pre-stocking management of ponds in the study area comprised dike repairing, aquatic weed control, waste soil removal and undesirable species (predator and trash fish) control. Majority (85%) of the farm owners and farmers depends on ground water and only (15%) depends on surface water. About 95% of farm of farm owners controlled aquatic weeds manually. Removal of predatory and undesired fish from pond used different types of chemicals but most used rotenone (80%). Fertilizer of pond preparation (Organic and inorganic) in the study area but mostly used cases inorganic fertilizers had applied at the rate of urea 114 kg/ha and triple superphosphate 60 kg/ha in 4-5 installments. Stocking density of mono-sex Nile tilapia was 200-380 fry per decimal. It was recorded that 85% of mono-sex Nile tilapia farmers and farm owner applied supplementary such as commercially manufactured feed and 12% are applied of farm made feed. It was observed,they provided heavy fertilizer, high stocking density, over feed provided, provided over dose drugs so ultimated result of disease occured. Parasitic related disease, bacterial diseases, fungal diseases, viral diseases were attacked in mono-sex Nile tilapia. Argulosis and Streptococcus were mostly common disease in this mono-sex Nile tilapia farm.

Use of liquid rice starch as a source of carbon for growth of Spirulina plate...AbdullaAlAsif1
A study was conducted to examine the culture and growth performance of S. platensis in three different concentrations (25%, 50% and 100%) of digested liquid rice starch media (DLRSM) with 0.2 g/L urea and Kosaric medium (KM) as control for a period of three months from March to May 2018. Each experiment was done in triplicates for a period of 14 days. The growth rate of S. platensis was found to vary with different concentrations of the medium. The cell weight of S. platensis was attained to highest 12.42 mg/L (dry weight) in KM followed by 11.26 mg/L, 8.35 mg/L and 9.11 mg/L in 25%, 50% and 100% of DLRSM, respectively on the 10 th day of culture period. Similar trend also observed in case of chlorophyll a content of S. platensis. The proximate composition of rice starch was analyzed. The percentage of moisture, protein, lipid, ash, crude fiber and nitrogen free extract (NFE) were95.1, 0.2616, 0.1055, 0.1097, 0.1468 and 3.9669, respectively on the basis of moisture (%) and 4.59, 5.70, 2.30, 2.39, 3.20 and 86.41, respectively on the basis of dry matter (%). The results on the growth performance showed that the growth of S. platensis was significantly (P<0.01) higher when grown in 25% concentration of DLRSM than other concentrations in 50% and 100% of DLRSM. The physico-chemical parameters viz. light intensity (2685 to 2773 lux/m 2 /s), temperature (29.6 to 31.5°C), pH (8.3 to 9.9), alkalinity (1150 to 3032 mg/L), Nitrate-N (1.32 to 6.30 mg/L) and phosphate-P (9.75 to 61.50 mg/L) were within optimum level during the culture period.

Reduction of aquaculture operations and production cost is key to the success and profitability of this enterprise, while protein needs, especially the cost of fish meal, are cery expensive. The current study was conducted to investigate the post-larval production performance of Heteropneustes fossilis using Lucilia sericata maggot as a fish meal replacer in two ways, namely, live larvae and powder form. A 28 days growth trial was performed where five isonitrogenous diets for Heteropneustes fossilis post-larvae were experimented using live maggots and maggot meal, respectively. The proximate composition of each formulated diet, growth parameters of fish post-larvae, such as, weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, apparent protein utilization, survival rate and the food conversion ratio were examined. After the experiment, the carcass composition of the experimental fishes were evaluated. The best final weight (1.61 g), weight gain (1.418 g), percentage of weight gain (739±1.18%), specific growth rate (2.63), protein efficiency ratio (2.29), apparent protein utilization (85%), survival rate (90%) and lower food conversion ratio (2.06) were observed in fish fed with 75% maggot meal as a substitute of fish meal. This study will help the aquaculture industry, especially the catfish culture in identifying an alternate source of protein and lowering the cost of aquaculture operation.
ADDITION OF ORGANIC WASTE ON NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS) COMMERCIAL ...IAEME Publication
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important commodity in the aquaculture
of freshwater fish in Indonesia, apart from its distinctive taste but also a good protein
content for fulfilling community nutrition. However, the high demand for nile tilapia is
not enough just to rely on fishermen, so it takes effort to increase the growth rate of it.
This study aimed to determine the effect of shrimp waste and coconut pulp addition to
enhance protein retention, energy retention and growth rate of nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus). This was an experimental study by means of completely
randomized design method. There were five treatments and four replications in each
treatment. The treatment used was the addition of shrimp waste and coconut pulp on
commercial feed. Two hundred nile tilapia were used in this study. The study was
conducted for 30 days by feeding three times a day. The research data were analyzed
using ANOVA and Duncan. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that the
addition of 30% shrimp waste and coconut pulp flour to nile tilapia commercial feed
(Oreochromis niloticus) significantly affected the energy retention value of 12,050%,
protein retention of 21 245% and growth rate of 1.471%. Adding organic waste to
commercial fish feed can boost the growth rate of nile tilapia.

Labeo bata is one of the important minor carps in Bangladesh with great demand as good table fish. The study was conducted to observe the breeding performance at different management practices in Mafatema, Rupali, Modhumoti and Anan fish hatchery and disinfection treatments of water, eggs and fry in Jessore, Bangladesh during 10 March 2014 to 15 May 2015. An improvement in broodstock nutrition and feeding has been shown to greatly improve seed production. Protein and lipid percentage of broodstock diet have been identified as major dietary factors. Protein level was 24.77%, 23.47%, 18.08%, 17.78% and lipid level was 11.07%, 9.50%, 7.74%, 8.14% in Mafatema, Rupali, Modhumoti and Anan fish hatchery respectively. Three concentrations of four chemical-formalin (10, 20, 30 mg/L), malachite green (1, 3, 5 mg/L), NaCl (1, 2, 3 g/L) and methylene blue ( 1, 3, 5 mg/L) treatment regimes and a control were compared for efficacy in treating L. bata eggs to prevent fungus and bacterial infection and improve hatch and survival rate of fry. Highest correlation value between absolute fecundity and body weight (r=.938, p<.05) and total length (r=.891, p<.05) and gonadosomatic index (26.2%) were found in Mafatema fish hatchery among four experimental hatcheries at 24.77% protein and 11.07% lipid level. Better fertilization rate (84.2±5.17%) and hatching rate (82.0±4.30%) were found in Mafatema and Rupali fish hatchery respectively that has significant difference (P<0.05) from that of Modhumoti and Anan fish hatchery at higher protein and lipid level. Lowest deformity rate (6.05+2.65) was observed in Mafatema fish hatchery that was significantly different (P<0.05) from that of Modhumoti fish hatchery. In case of disinfection treatment, methylene blue at 1mg/L bath treatment daily for 4 days showed significantly higher hatching rate (92.33±3.51%) and survival rate (94.33±4.73%).

The study was carried out to determine the effect of fungi contaminated feed on the growth and survival of catfish, Clarias gariepinus juveniles. This research was carried out for a period of twelve weeks. Forty catfish juveniles were stocked at a rate of twenty juveniles per plastic tank. Catfish juveniles in one tank were fed with moldy feed and the control was served with non -moldy feed and was observed for twelve weeks to determine and compare their growth and survival. Catfish juveniles fed with moldy feed had the highest mortality as well as slower growth as compared to the control fed with non-moldy feed. The survival rate of juveniles stocked was 55% and mortality rate was 45% and majority of mortality was from juveniles fed with moldy feed and majority of the survival rate was from juveniles fed with non-moldy feed. Some water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH were also taken and no significant difference was observed. Moldy feed or feedstuff should not be used as this can cause great mortality and therefore loss to fish farmers.
Effect of organic and inorganic fertilisers on natural food composition and p...Sebastian Mosha
ABSTRACT
In recent times, the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus has gained popularity in the aquaculture sector of Tanzania. However, many aquaculture farmers face the challenge of unreliable supply of seed due to difculties of reproducing in captivity and high larvae mortality. This study was conducted to determine the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on natural food composition and performance of African
catfish fry produced under artificial propagation. A completely randomized and factorial experimental design were adopted with three replication for a one week and two months period of time, respectively. Plankton abundance and diversity, growth performance and survival rate of African catfish fry were
determined. One way and two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine differencies between treatments (p<0.05). Post-hoc analysis was done where significant differences existed between treatments using Tukey’s Test. Results indicated that phytoplankton abundance and diversity were signifcantly higher (p<0.05) in di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizer applied tanks compared to chicken manure and no fertilizer. Zooplankton diversity was also higher in tanks applied with chicken manure in comparison with other treatments. Growth performance was higher in fertilized tanks compared to unfertilized tanks at low stocking density (5fry/m2). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in fry survival rates between chicken manure and DAP fertilized
treatments across stocking densities. Water quality parameters were within the optimum ranges.
–Teaching English for the learners pursuing a
course in Engineering does not involve just the LSRW
skills. As it is a course in ESP, more specifically, EST
(English for Science and Technology), we as teachers are
more concerned of equipping them with the skills required
to face the challenges of their profession. The learners
have to face a cut-throat competition as the number of
learners puruing a course in Engineering is increasing year
by year and the companies rely on the professionals for an
extra edge of human skills. The selection process for a job
involves a screening test based on Group Discussions.
These discussions test the soft skills or human skills of the
candidates which are mainly based on their thinking
abilities. A problem is given to them and they are asked to
come to a common consensus as a team. The candidates
are required to employ creative thinking, divergent
thinking, logical reasoning, critical analysis etc. to
perform effectively. Till their graduation, the learners are
used to rote-learning from the (written) examination point
of view. The learners should be explained the importance
of thinking and brain storming at this stage. This paper is
based on the study undertaken by the researcher to
develop the thinking skills of the I year learners pursuing
a course in Engineering.

was to build an effective application for students and
faculty members of Independent University, Bangladesh
to accomplish specific educational goals and duties by
using an Android application. By using this application,
students can find course information, lecture notes,
faculty information, research information and updated
results from outside the campus. On the other hand,
faculty members can use it for online attendance,
updating course materials, lecture notes and information
related to the course and university. The application will
provide users the opportunity to create a database, where
profile of faculty members and students can be stored
and through it students can directly contact with the
faculty members. The usability and effectiveness of this
application have been evaluated based on five different
users. The practical result shows that the outcome of this
application is very promising

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
