Not AvailableCorneal hypertrophy was observed in fingerlings of chocolate mahseer, Neolissochilus hex¬agonolepis (McClelland, 1839) from Uttarakhand, India. The advanced stage of infection was marked with damage of cornea and shrunken eye. Skeletal deformity was also recorded in some of the infected fishes. Samples of eye and other organ were collected for histopathological, parasite and microbial investigation. Histological examination of the eye indicated ocular collapse, entirely damaged cornea, disruption of vitre¬ous, aphakic globe, oedema of choroid and optic nerve and, deformed retina. Microscopic observations of wet mounts and histopathology ruled out infectious agents like microsporidia, myxosporidea, cystercoidiasis, atypical mycobacteria, digeneans and fungi. PCR for viral aetiology did not yield any significant amplicons. Further detail study related to physic-chemical parameter need to be carried out to ascertain the exact cause of this disease.Not Availabl

Not AvailableIndian snow trout (Schizothorax richardsonii) and golden mahseer (Tor putitora) from cage culture unit of Bhimtal Lake were examined for fish louse (Argulus) infestation from August 2008 to January 2009. The percentages of S. richardsonii infected were 51.21, whereas abundance and mean intensity of infestations were 1.05 and 2.06 respectively. Maximum prevalence (70.1%) was observed in September with least in December. Percentages of host infected in T. putitora were 25 with abundance and mean intensity of 0.34 and 1.36 respectively. One to two percentage of fish stock was fungal infected. Measurement of crustacean parasite illustrated carapace length (CL) comprised 75% of average total body length (5.4 mm). Prevalence was positively correlated (S. richardsonii: r = 0.88; and T. putitora: r = 0.91) with decrease in water temperature. The results of mean intensity of Argulus infestation indicated an initial stage of infection in both the species. So the present study draws immediate attentions of fish health management towards enhancement of fish production in coldwater aquatic resources of India.Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR

Not AvailableComplete cDNA sequences of kiss1 (gmkiss1) and its receptor kiss1r (gmkiss1r) were cloned and characterized from brain tissue of adult golden mahseer (Tor putitora). Thereafter, quantification of gmkiss1 and gmkiss1r mRNA expression in brain-pituitary-gonad (BPG) axis of male and female golden mahseer was carried out using quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR assay during an annual reproductive cycle, at different gonadal development stages. The gmkiss1 cDNA was 508 bp, with 330 bp open reading frame (ORF), encoding a precursor protein of 109 amino acids, whereas gmkiss1r cDNA was 1383 bp with an ORF of 1004 bp, which encodes a 334 amino acid protein residue. The qRT-PCR study shows that gmkiss1 and gmkiss1r are expressed in brain, pituitary and gonads of both the sexes of golden mahseer. An apparent sexual dimorphism in transcript level of gmkiss1 and gmkiss1r in brain and gonads was evident during the reproductive cycle. Overall, in brain, testis and ovary, the gmkiss1 and gmkiss1r mRNA expression level was comparatively higher during the initial stages of gonadal development, than that of spermiation or ovulation stage. In pituitary of both the sexes, throughout the gonadal development, consistently low transcript level of gmkiss1 and gmkiss1r was observed. The gmkiss1 mRNA expression level in brain and ovary of female golden mahseer was several folds higher than the brain and testis of male fish. In conclusion, we confirm the presence of kiss1 and its receptor in golden mahseer, and results of our study strongly suggested the involvement of kisspeptin1 system in gonadal development and annual reproductive cycle of this species.Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR

Not AvailableGolden mahseer, Tor putitora is an endangered fish of mid-Himalayan regions of India. It has good potential as aquaculture species for hill aquaculture, due to its high market demand. But the major constrains on introduction of this fish for aquaculture is its inability to breed in captivity and slow growth rate. Therefore, studies were carried out on its breeding biology to captive breed this fish for sustainable seed production. However, detailed study on reproductive pattern of adult golden mahseer is very limited. Therefore, in the present study, we have developed a macroscopic grading system for golden mahseer testes, which shows the testes development stages during the breeding season, which lasts from May–September in Bhimtal and Sattal lakes. The golden mahseer were sampled from February – September 2014, from Bhimtal and Sattal lakes. Altogether, 48 samples were collected during the sampling period. Based on macroscopic observation, the maturation stage of the testes was divided into five developmental stages: Immature (I), early spermatogenic (II), late spermatogenic (III), matured (IV) and spent (V).Not Availabl

Not AvailableHistomorphological changes were observed to assess the effect of fungus on gill, liver and kid-ney of Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The most frequent histological changes detected in the gills included hypertrophy, hyperplasia and fusion of secondary lamellae. Other lesions found were vacuolization, blood congestion, and increased melano-macrophage (MM) in liver. Shrinkage of glomerulus, increased Bowmen’s space, increased MM and hematopoietic tissue were observed in the kidney.Not Availabl
