responses induced by long-term toxic effects of heavy metals on fish tissues concerned with digestion, absorption, and excretion.the present study relates to the bioassay as well as the responsiveness induced by long-term exposure to sublethal concentrations of soft acceptor heavy metals, lead (pb, iv a) and cadmium (cd, ii b), in various fish tissues viz., stomach/intestinal bulb, intestine, liver, pancreas, and kidney of mystus vittatus (bloch) and labeo rohita (hamilton) belonging to 2 different trophic strata. responses, however, have been recorded by histopathological and histochemical studies on the aforesaid tissue ...19892591700

the adhesive attitude of the gill-parasitic ancyrocephaline monogenean bifurcohaptor indicus.most specimens of the ancyrocephaline monogenean bifurcohaptor indicus attach themselves to the afferent border of the primary gill lamella of their host mystus vittatus so that the body lies between the hemibranchs of the gill. the parasite uses 2 greatly enlarged dorsal hamuli like a pair of forceps to grasp the edge of the lamella. the ventral body surface of most individuals is directed towards the proximal end of the lamella.19979193956
studies on the genotoxicity of endosulfan in different tissues of fresh water fish mystus vittatus using the comet assay.endosulfan, a widely used organochlorine pesticide, is readily bio-accumulative in fishes and can be indirectly harmful to human populations. limited efforts have been made to study long-term genotoxic effects of endosulfan in different tissues of fish using gentoxicity biomarkers. therefore, the current investigation was undertaken to detect single-cell dna strand breaks induced by endosulfan in the fresh water teleost fish mystus vittatus using the comet assay. the lc(50) value of technical gr ...200717713809
application of sensory and microbial analysis to assess quality of fish in siliguri city of west bengal, india.sensory and certain microbial analyses were applied to assess the quality of raw fish sold at a market in siliguri cityof west bengal, india. in regular surveys undertaken during june to august 2008, a particular fish species was randomly selected, its source was noted and a sensory analysis, the quality index method (qim) was applied to assess its quality raw fish samples were also collected and a small quantity (about 1 g) of scales oran upper layer of the skin surface (forscale-less fish samp ...201021387907
methyl mercury in fish-a case study on various samples collected from ganges river at west bengal.this study investigated the presence of total mercury (hg) and organic mercury levels in the muscle of 19 common fresh water fish species captured from river ganges, west bengal, india. the total mercury level found in our study may not cause any toxic effect, but the methyl mercury (mehg) level in some freshwater fish species was surprisingly very high and toxically unacceptable. the results of mercury analysis in various specimens indicated that some fish muscles tended to accumulate high leve ...201121713467

probiotic potential of autochthonous bacteria isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of four freshwater teleosts.in this study, a total of 121 bacterial strains were isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of four teleostean species, namely striped snakehead (channa striatus), striped dwarf catfish (mystus vittatus), orangefin labeo (labeo calbasu) and mrigal carp (cirrhinus mrigala), among which 8 isolates showed promising antibacterial activity against four potential fish pathogens, aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas salmonicida, aeromonas sobria and pseudomonas fluorescens and were non-hemolytic. the isol ...201727557836
secondary structure and phylogenetic utility of the ribosomal large subunit (28s) in monogeneans of the genus thaparocleidus and bifurcohaptor (monogenea: dactylogyridae).present communication deals with secondary structure of 28s rdna of two already known species of monogeneans viz., bifurcohaptor indicus and thaparocleidus parvulus parasitizing gill filaments of a freshwater fish, mystus vittatus for phylogenetic inference. secondary structure data are best used as accessory taxonomic characters as their phylogenetic resolving power and confidence in validity. secondary structure of the 28s rdna transcript could provide information for identifying homologous nu ...201324431545
metazoan parasites of mystus vittatus (bloch) of river godavari with description of a new species of acanthocephala, raosentis godavarensis sp. nov.a total of 9 metazoan parasitic species were identified from mystus vittatus (bloch) in river godavari during 2005-2007 including 2 monogeneans, 2 digeneans, 3 acanthocephalans and 2 copepods. two species of monogeneans (bifurcohaptor indicus and thaparocleidus tengra), digeneans (haplorchoides macrones and metacercariae of isoparorchis hypselobagri), an acanthocephalan (raosentis podderi) found during the present study are of common occurrence in this fish. m. vittatus constitutes a new host re ...200923129893
biochemical composition of some small indigenous fresh water fishes from the river mouri, khulna, bangladesh.biochemical composition of seven small indigenous fresh water fishes namely magur (clarias batrachus), shingi (heteropneustes fossilis), koi (anabas testudineus), foli (notopterus notopterus), royna (nandas nandas), taki (channa punctatus) and tangra (mystus vittatus) from the mouri river khulna, bangladesh was studied in order to evaluate their nutritional values. the mean value of protein, fat, moisture and ash content was found as 14.87 +/- 0.63, 7.90 +/- 1.91, 73.49 +/- 0.69 and 3.74 +/- 0.4 ...200719069978
retinal projections in the catfish, mystus vittatus (bloch) as revealed by tracer studies with horseradish peroxidase.the retinal efferents of the catfish, mystus vittatus, were investigated with the use of the horseradish peroxidase (hrp) technique. most retinal fibres extended contralateral to the eye that had received hrp label, while a few fascicles projected to the ipsilateral side without decussation in the optic chiasma. the contralateral fibres projected to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the nucleus opticus dorsolateralis, the nucleus of the posterior commissure, the nucleus geniculatus lateralis, pretect ...19883416343
two morphological types of pineal window in catfish in relation to photophase and scotophase activity: a morphological and experimental study.the pineal window is a transparent/translucent pineal covering on the dorsal surface of the cranium of certain fishes and is associated with light reactions of fish. in the present study, catfish species clarias batrachus, heteropneustes fossilis, mystus vittatus, m. seenghala, and m. cavassius were examined for the type of pineal window present. two morphologically different types of pineal window were found: an opaque-looking pineal window in c. batrachus and h. fossilis and a translucent type ...200312506400
