Summary: The study shows that partial or total replacement of fishmeal with plant protein sources (soybean and sunflower meal) in aquafeeds results in similar growth performance, body composition, and greater economic efficiency. The substitution had no significant adverse effects on growth parameters, body composition, or hematologic and biochemical parameters, with the addition of synthetic amino acids contributing to the benefits.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the methionine requirement of African Catfish and found that growth rate, feed conversion ratio, and other parameters were significantly affected by dietary methionine levels. The research suggested a lower digestible methionine requirement for growth in African catfish compared to previous reports.

Summary: This study aimed to optimize the induction of tetraploid in African catfish eggs using cold shock protocol. The best results were achieved with 5 degrees C cold shock for 2 or 5 minutes. Tetraploid progenies had longer erythrocyte axis length compared to diploid counterparts, but were similar in terms of morphological characterization and growth performance.

Summary: The study showed that alkali pH-shift processing is effective in removing off-odours from farm-raised freshwater fish, while also reducing the accumulation of undesirable volatile compounds, ultimately improving the overall texture and quality of the product.

Summary: This study reports the presence of pyrogallol in wastewater in Egypt for the first time. Acute and sub-acute toxicity experiments were conducted to evaluate the toxic effects of pyrogallol on catfish. The results showed that pyrogallol exposure caused morphological changes, hematological and biochemical alterations, indicating potential risks to aquatic species.

Summary: X-ray crystallography, NMR, and computer modeling were used to investigate the structure and catalytic mechanism of GnTIVa, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of GlcNAc branches. The enzyme contains a C-terminal lectin domain that regulates its activity. The lectin domain was found to interact selectively with N-glycans having a beta 1-4 GlcNAc branch. Our findings provide insights into the biosynthesis of branching structures in N-glycans.

Summary: This study investigated the yolk processing pattern in the oocytes of freshwater catfish and found that there are different characteristics in yolk processing at different stages. The size of yolk protein decreases during maturation stage and there are differences in minor ions from vitellogenic and ovulated oocytes. Moreover, cathepsin D and cathepsin B play important roles in the processing of yolk.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of CPZ on the hematological, biochemical, and biometric characteristics in juvenile Clarias gariepinus. The results showed that CPZ is toxic to the fish and should be used with caution to avoid toxicological effects on non-target organisms.

Summary: Soaking substantially improves the nutritional properties of Jatropha curcas kernel (JCK) by reducing anti-nutrients and improving proximate composition. When soaked JCK is included in Clarias gariepinus diets, it leads to enhanced growth performance, increased carcass protein, and improved haematological variables. Histological examination also shows fewer signs of histopathological degeneration in fish fed soaked JCK compared to those fed raw JCK.

Summary: Endogenous peptides isolated from farmed hybrid catfish muscle exhibited antioxidant activity, with concentration-dependent free radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging abilities, as well as metal chelating properties. pH, heating temperature, and in vitro digestion were found to have effects on the peptides' DPPH center dot scavenging activity, with a decrease in inhibition after digestion.

Summary: The study successfully cloned and characterized the beta-actin promoter of African catfish, demonstrating its potential as a candidate promoter in constructing transgenic fish. Transcriptional activity was verified through the construction of a recombinant plasmid carrying the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene as the reporter gene.

Summary: The study evaluated the concentrations of heavy metals in Nile catfish and water samples, as well as the effectiveness of pomegranate peels in enhancing fish immunity and combating toxicity. Results showed that pomegranate supplementation, either through water or diet, reduced mercury levels and toxicity in fish.
