Spawning behaviour of an air-breathing catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch).

Abstract:

:Spawning behavior of H. fossilis was studied by breeding the fish in laboratory through hypophysation using pituitary glands of the Indian major carps (Catla catla and Labeo rohita) at a dose of about 15 mg/100 g body weight of the recipient. The spawning activity started about 6 to 10 hr after the administration of pituitary injection. The activity lasted 2 to 6 hr in various experiments. During this period, intermittent mating acts were observed, the average rate of mating being once every 2 to 3 min in the initial stages and 5 to 10 min or even longer in the later ones.

  • Fructo-oligosaccharides reduce energy intake but do not affect adiposity in rats fed a low-fat diet but increase energy intake and reduce fat mass in rats fed a high-fat diet.

    abstract::The ingestion of low or high lipid diets enriched with fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) affects energy homeostasis. Ingesting protein diets also induces a depression of energy intake and decreases body weight. The goal of this study was to investigate the ability of FOS, combined or not with a high level of protein (P), t...
