Three different antigenic preparations from the epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) pathogen Aphanomyces invadans were evaluated as vaccine candidate in catla (Catla catla). Anti-catla enzyme immunoconjugate was prepared after isolating catla immunoglobulin and raising hyperimmune sera against it, in rabbit. Three antigens namely, fungal extract (FE), fungal extract mixed with Freund’s incomplete adjuvant (FIA) in a 1:1 (v/v) ratio (FE + A) and extra cellular product (ECP) were prepared and three groups of catla were vaccinated intramuscularly with all these antigens (200 μg/fish). Different cellular and humoral immune responses were measured for the entire vaccinated and control group on 0th, 5th, 15th and 25th day post vaccination. Thirty days after the vaccination, the fish were challenged with an A. invadans zoospore dose of 1 × 105 ml−1 and mortality and relative percent of survival (RPS) were recorded. Study of cellular immunological parameters including antigen-specific leukocyte proliferation, antigen-specific nitric oxide production and superoxide anion production showed significantly higher (p < 0.05) values, in general, on 5th and 15th day post vaccination than the 0th day. Among all the antigenic groups, FE + A showed most significant response compared to the other groups. Among the humoral immune responses, lysozyme activity showed almost similar trend like cellular parameters. Anti-Aphanomyces antibody production was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and it was increased with increasing days of vaccination in all the vaccinated groups with the highest observed on 25th day. Among the antigens, FE + A showed the highest antibody production following vaccination. The result of the homologous pathogen challenge study showed reduction in mortality in all the vaccinated groups. However, this reduction was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Increased immune responses and protection have important implications with regard to the control of EUS by vaccination. 相似文献

The present study investigates carcass traits of farmed freshwater Catla catla for important information in calculating yield and/or providing data for programming machine/manual handling. For this purpose specimens of C. catla ranging from 1880 to 2150 g were collected from grow‐out culture ponds of the Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, Odisha State, India. Carcass yield, offal yield and carcass cutability were assessed. The percentage of head yield was highest (31.2%) in comparison to other carp species. Gutted yield and final dressed yield of 2 kg market class catla amounted to 85.4 and 54.1%, respectively. The average meat : bone ratio in filleting was reported to be 3 : 9. The middle cut of catla had both the highest total yield percentage and highest meat yield. Dry matter, ether extract and protein percentage was highest in the fore cut followed by the middle and hind cuts. 相似文献

The effect of Spirogyra sp. incorporated into diet formulations on the growth and body composition of Indian major carp, catla (Catla catla) was investigated in a 45 days feeding trial. Spirogyra dry powder was mixed with different feed ingredients in different amounts (0%, 10%, 25%, 37% and 40% of the total feed). Carps fed with Spirogyra demonstrated higher feed conversion ratio. The study also revealed a direct relationship between the amount of Spirogyra in the diet, and muscle protein and fat contents in the fish. In general, this study demonstrated the benefits of incorporating Spirogyra into carp feeds. 相似文献

A new cell line [Sahul India Catla Eye (SICE)] has been developed from eye tissue of Indian major carp ( Catla catla ), a freshwater fish cultivated in India. The cell line was maintained in Leibovitz's L-15 supplemented with 15% foetal bovine serum (FBS). These cells have been subcultured >80 times over a period of 1·5 years. This cell line has been designated SICE. The SICE cell line consists predominantly of epithelial-like cells. These cells are strongly positive for epithelial markers such as pancytokeratin and cytokeratin 19. The cells were able to grow at temperatures between 25 and 32° C with optimum temperature of 28° C. The growth rate of catla eye cells increased as the FBS proportion increased from 2 to 20% at 28° C with optimum growth at the concentrations of 15 or 20% FBS. Six marine fish viruses (fish nervous necrosis virus, marine birnavirus-NC1, chum salmon virus, infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus-Sp and hirame rhabdovirus) were tested on this cell line to determine its susceptibility. After confluency, the cells were subcultured with a split ratio of 1:2. The cells showed epithelial-like morphology and reached confluency on the fourth day after subculture. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of mitochondrial 12S rRNA indicated identity of these cell lines with those reported from this animal species, confirming that the cell lines were of catla origin. The cells were successfully cryopreserved and revived at passage numbers 10, 25, 40 and 60. The cell cycle analysis by fluorescence-activated cell sorter revealed that most of the cells on the second day of culture were in S-phase, indicating a high growth rate. When the SICE cells were transfected with pEGFP vector DNA, significant fluorescent signals were observed suggesting that the SICE cell line can be a useful tool for transgenic and genetic manipulation studies. 相似文献

A survivorship model was developed for UV-B irradiated Catla catla (17 days) larvae with the help of Kaplan and Meier Product-Limit (PL) method. Larvae were exposed to UV-B radiation (145 μW
cm−2) for three different exposure times: 5, 10 and 15 min on every other day. The mean survival time of fish was calculated for
each treatment using uncensored and censored survival data during 74 days study period. The mean uncensored and censored survival data for the 5-min exposed fish were 7 and 43, respectively. In 10-min exposure period, the uncensored and censored survival data were 19 and 31, respectively. During maximum exposure of 15 min, the uncensored survival data was 20 and censored data was 30. The mean survival time of fish calculated using PL estimate in 5, 10 and 15-min exposure treatments were 69.61 ± 0.50,
65.25 ± 0.96 and 60.60 ± 1.55 days, respectively. The mean survival time showed a decreasing trend with the increase of exposure
period. The survival time was significantly (P < 0.001) higher in 5-min exposure treatment than others. This is clear from the present study that the exposure of UV-B radiation
affects the survival rate of surface feeder catla larvae. 相似文献

Complete nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Catla catla (Ostariophysi: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) was determined in the present study. Its length is 16,594 bp and contains 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs and one non-coding control region. Most of the genes were encoded on the H-strand, while the ND6 and eight tRNA (Gln, Ala, Asn, Cys, Tyr, Ser (UCN), Glu and Pro) genes were encoded on the L-strand. The reading frames of two pair of genes overlapped: ATPase 8 with 6 and ND4L with ND4 by seven nucleotides each. The main non-coding region was 929 bp, with three conserved sequence blocks (CSB-I, CSB-II, and CSB-III) and an unusual simple sequence repeat, (TA)7. Phylogenetic analyses based on complete mitochondrial genome sequences were in favor of the traditional taxonomy of family Cyprinidae. In conclusion present mitogenome of Catla catla adds more information to our understanding of diversity and evolution of mitogenome in fishes. 相似文献

Genetic variation is a key component for improving a stock through selective breeding programs. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess genetic variation in three wild population of the catla carp (Catla catla Hamilton 1822) in the Halda, Jamuna and Padma rivers and one hatchery population in Bangladesh. Five decamer random primers were used to amplify RAPD markers from 30 fish from each population. Thirty of the 55 scorable bands were polymorphic, indicating some degree of genetic variation in all the populations. The proportion of polymorphic loci and gene diversity values reflected a relatively higher level of genetic variation in the Halda population. Sixteen of the 30 polymorphic loci showed a significant (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001) departure from homogeneity and the F(ST) values in the different populations indicated some degree of genetic differentiation in the population pairs. Estimated genetic distances between populations were directly correlated with geographical distances. The unweighted pair group method with averages (UPGMA) dendrogram showed two clusters, the Halda population forming one cluster and the other populations the second cluster. Genetic variation of C. catla is a useful trait for developing a good management strategy for maintaining genetic quality of the species. 相似文献

The influence of Spirulina platensis meal on the growth and carcass composition of two Indian major carps, catla, Catla catla and rohu, Labeo rohita was investigated in a 90-day culture trial. Four experimental diets were used and Spirulina replaced fish meal protein from the standard diet at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% levels. There was no significant difference in the final weight attained by catla at all levels of Spirulina incorporation as compared to the fish-meal-based control diet. However, the replacement of fish meal by more than 25% Spirulina resulted in significantly superior growth of rohu. The specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio recorded in rohu improved with higher levels of Spirulina inclusion, while in catla they did not differ significantly from the control treatment. In both the species, the digestibility of dry matter, protein and fat was found to improve marginally with increasing levels of Spirulina incorporation. The carcass composition showed an inverse relationship between protein and fat deposition. In general, fish fed with Spirulina diets had a significantly higher percentage of fat. The study demonstrated the usefulness of Spirulina for partial or complete replacement of fish meal in the diets of catla and rohu. 相似文献

The hypothesis that effective population sizes are low in hatchery-reared catla ( Catla catla ) from Bangladesh, possibly leading to inbreeding and loss of variation, was tested. The study was based on analysis of seven microsatellite loci in three samples of hatchery-reared catla and four samples representing wild populations. Pair-wise estimates of genetic differentiation between samples were low between wild samples (θ ranging from 0·012 to 0·034), but high between hatchery samples (θ ranging from 0·153 to 0·185), suggesting strong genetic drift in hatcheries. Genetic variation, both in terms of expected heterozygosity and allelic richness, was significantly lower in hatchery samples than in samples of wild catla. Application of a method for reconstructing families among offspring without parental genetic data showed that the hatchery samples consisted of very few half- and full-sib families, whereas the wild samples consisted of a high number of families, suggesting that most individuals were unrelated. Finally, estimation of the effective number of parents ( N b ) in the largest sample of hatchery fish confirmed that effective population size was low ( N b = 14·9 for multiallelic loci and N b = 10·6 if alleles were pooled into two composite alleles). The results show that low effective population sizes leading to loss of variation and possibly inbreeding depression should be a matter of serious concern in aquaculture production of catla. 相似文献

A homologous radioimmunoassay (RIA) for Indian carp (C. catla) gonadotropin (GtH) was developed by using purified Catla GtH and its specific antiserum. In Ouchterlony agar diffusion, antisera raised against purified Catla GtH (cGtH), showed clear crossreaction. Catla-anti GtH (anti-cGtH) did not cross-reacted with Catla TSH enriched fraction. Immunocrossreaction was further confirmed with competitive binding inhibition studies where displacement of radiolabelled cGtH was precisely linear against increasing concentrations of cGtH, hence this was later used as standard curve for RIA. Competitive binding inhibition was also observed with purified murrel GtH, silver carp GtH and Cyprinus GtH, using varied doses. Both murrel and silver carp GtH showed clear parallelism with cGtH, while Cyprinus GtH inhibition slope was less steeper. Mammalian GtHs (hCG, oLH, oFSH), bTSH and bPRL had no crossreaction with anti-cGtH. Radioreceptorassay (RRA) for cGtH was developed by preparing plasma membranes from Catla oocytes. Binding of 125I-cGtH to oocyte plasma membranes showed saturability with high affinity (Ka = 0.11 X 10(13)M-1) and low capacity (17 fmol/mg protein). Displacement of 125I-cGtH in receptorassay by cold cGtH was linear and therefore served as standard curve. The interassay and intrassay variability in RIA was 7.9% and 3% while that of RRA was 5% and 3% respectively. Sensitivity of RIA was in the picogram level whereas it was in nanogram level by RRA. Determination of carp pituitary and serum GtH content by RIA and RRA showed the consistency, precision and validity of these assays. Although RRA was comparatively less sensitive than RIA, it was convenient, quick and less expensive. 相似文献

The exogenously administered FSH in Catla catla clearly reveals that a dose of 0.2 mg and 0.4 mg of FSH does not have any marked effect on the ovary, but the vitellogenesis begins with a further dose of 0.2 mg of the same. A rapid accumulation of yolk is recorded in the primary oocytes with a total dose of 0.8 mg of FSH, however, this much hormone is not enough for the spawning. The latter has been recorded with 1.0 mg of FSH which swifts with a dose of 1.2 mg of FSH. The number of mature follicle declines with 1.4 mg of FSH whereas no empty follicle is seen with the same treatment. With each addition of 0.2 mg of FSH upto 2.0 mg the number of oogonia and primary oocytes increases while maturing and mature follicles show a downward tendency. 相似文献

Stimulation of immunity in Indian major carp Catla catla with herbal feed ingredients 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Catla catla, catla (150 +/- 20 g) were fed a diet containing seed of Achyranthes aspera (0.5%) and control diet without A. aspera for four weeks prior to and after ip injection with chicken erythrocytes. Fish were sampled for four consecutive weeks after immunization. Hemagglutination antibody titers were significantly higher in the test group of fishes compared with the control group. Serum globulin levels were significantly (P(t-test) < 0.05) higher in the test group than control group on days 14 and 21. Anti-trypsin activity due to total serum protease inhibitors and alpha1-antiprotease was also significantly (P(t-test) < 0.05) higher in the test group of fishes than the control. RNA/DNA ratio of spleen and kidney was also significantly (P(t-test) < 0.05) higher in test group than the control group. All these results confirm that A. aspera enhances the immunity of catla. 相似文献

India is the second largest fish producing country in the world with production of 12.6 million tonnes (mt) in 2017–18, and Indian major carps (IMCs) contribute bulk of this fish production. Catla, Catla catla is the fastest growing species among IMCs. However, the survival rate of catla during larval rearing is normally lower than the other IMCs i.e rohu Labeo rohita, and mrigal Cirrhinus mrigala. Continuous efforts are devoted for the identification of nutritional and environmental requirements of fish larvae in order to reduce hatchery mortalities. However, very little information is available regarding physiology of the immune system, especially during the late larval and juvenile stages. Hence, understanding the ontogenetic development of immune-relevant genes in the larval stages of catla will serve as the markers for the development of immune competence and thereby, will be beneficial in developing effective immune intervention strategies. In the present study, expression profiles of some of the important innate (IL-1β, IL-10, iNOS and C3) and adaptive immune (RAG-1, Ikaros, IgM and IgZ) genes during ontogenetic developmental stages and in different tissues of catla were investigated using quantitative real-time PCR. The results revealed that immune genes IL-1β, C3, IgM and IgZ were detected in the unfertilized eggs indicating their maternal inheritance. Immune genes, IL-1β, IL-10 and iNOS were expressed significantly during initial larval developmental stages whereas C3, RAG-1, Ikaros, IgM and IgZ showed significant expression during advanced stages of larval development in catla i.e. from 23 days post hatch (dph). Study of tissue distribution pattern of the genes indicated that innate immune genes were ubiquitously expressed in different tissues with varying degree of expression, whereas adaptive immune genes were predominantly expressed in lymphoid organs of catla. The information thus generated will improve knowledge on the maturation of the immune system in catla and will aid in deciding the appropriate age for vaccination in this teleost species. 相似文献

The importance of photoperiods in the regulation of annual testicular events in the carp Catla catla was evaluated by subjecting them to either long (16 h light : 8 h dark) or short (8 h light : 16 h dark) photoperiods for 30 days during the preparatory, prespawning, spawning and postspawning phases of an annual gonadal cycle. In each reproductive phase, testicular responsiveness to subjected photoperiods was determined by comparing the gonadal status in corresponding groups of control or natural photoperiodic fish. The values of testicular weight, gametogenic index, as well as testicular activity of two steroidogenic enzymes (Δ53β‐, and 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase), and the serum titre of testosterone were considered as the indices of functional status of the testis in the fish concerned. During the prespawning phase, exposure of fish to a daily long photoperiod schedule resulted in precocious maturation of testis, while retardation of testicular growth was noted under the influences of short photoperiod. However, none of the employed photo‐schedules could influence the gametogenic and steroidogenic functions of the testis in the remaining part of the gonadal cycle. Collectively, the present study provides evidence for the first time that in the case of a commercially important carp, Catla catla, artificial, long photoperiods may be used for advanced testicular maturation, while reductions in maturation‐associated growth and deterioration in flesh quality may be avoided by submitting the fish to shorter day lengths during the prespawning phase of the reproductive cycle. 相似文献

Structural organization of the epithelium of the lips and associated structures of the Indian major carp,Catla catla, is described. The upper lip is thin and is associated on its dorsal side with a membranous fold of skin and the rostral
cap. In contrast, the lower lip is thick and very conspicuous. It is associated on its ventral side with a fold of skin between
it and the ventral head skin. The lower lip is divided into a non-projectile portion, a projectile portion and an intermediate
groove region. The projectile portion remains folded covering a part of the ventral head skin when the mouth is closed. Their
role in relation to the formation of the characteristic feeding tube is discussed. The epithelium of the lips and associated
structures is stratified in nature and is composed of the epithelial cells, mucous cells, club cells, lymphocytes and the
taste buds. The mucous cells are small, few or even absent and do not appear to secrete profusely at the surfaces of the upper
and the lower lips. This suggests that the lips inCatla catla, which feeds on micro-organisms, do not need extra lubrication for protection against abrasion during feeding. In the epithelium
at the folds of skin, the voluminous mucous cells secrete profusely and provide extra lubrication to their surface. This reduces
the resistance to surface drag during stretching and enables the jaws to protrude with increasing efficiency and swiftness.
The club cells are developed additionally to complement the mucous cells in the rostral cap and the upper lip epithelium.
Their primary function appears protective in some way, which needs further confirmation. The taste buds, though few in the
lower lip, are located in a good number in the upper lip on the characteristic epithelial papillae-like projections, and are
projected at the surface. These have been associated with the acute gustatory sense of the fish. The taste buds are absent
on the folds of skin where they may not be of much significance. 相似文献
