Summary: This study investigates the impact of factors such as lunar cycle, harvesting interval, rope type, and seeding gap on the production of G. tenuistipitata in the coast of Cox's Bazar. The results show that lunar cycle, harvesting interval, rope type, and seeding gap all have significant effects on the yield. The findings provide insights for improving the cultivation of G. tenuistipitata.

Summary: The study found that improving feed conversion ratio (FCR) through selective breeding programs has a significant impact on improving the efficiency of fish farming and sustainability. Breeding fish with different FCR levels can effectively improve FCR, although there is a negative correlation with weight gain.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of mercury exposure on Nile tilapia, showing increases in bioaccumulation, changes in hematological indices, oxidative responses, and histopathological alterations. Supplementation with Nannochloropsis oculata helped stabilize these parameters and reduce the severity of histopathological changes, indicating a protective role against mercury-induced toxicity.

Summary: This study tested the effect of long-term tactile body stimulation (TS) on alleviating the impact of high stocking density in Nile tilapia. The results showed that the treatment with TS and low density had higher productive performance compared to the treatment without TS and high density. These findings suggest that TS can improve the productive performance of Nile tilapia and counteract the negative effects of high stocking density.

Summary: Accurately measuring feed intake in fish is crucial for the success of selective breeding programs. Social interactions between fish may impact their efficiency, highlighting the need for careful planning of feeding rate and rearing system in order to optimize selection for the targeted production system.

Summary: The study found that high stocking density negatively impacts the growth and health of Oreochromis niloticus, but supplementation with Glycyrrhiza glabra extract and protexin concentrate can mitigate these effects and improve the fish's resistance to bacterial diseases.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of stocking larger-sized Nile Tilapia on water quality, growth performance, and economic yield, and finds that stocking larger-sized fish leads to better results in cage culture. The rural site shows more suitable conditions for aquaculture and stocking larger-sized fish has higher economic returns.

Summary: This study explores the harmful effects of abusing an antiparasitic drug, emamectin benzoate (EB), on the blood biochemistry and erythro-morphometry of Nile tilapia. Results showed that over-dosing of EB led to a decrease in feed intake, survival rate, erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. On the other hand, it resulted in an increase in leukocytes, thrombocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils. In addition, EB abuse altered the fish physiology by affecting various blood parameters and exhibited dose-dependent effects.

Summary: The study suggests that supplementation of vegetable choline improves fatty acid profiles in the meat of Nile tilapia raised in a biofloc system. Specifically, the treatments with 800 and 1200 mg kg(-1) led to higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are desirable for consumers.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of a probiotic additive on tilapia growth by observing growth curves, muscle and adipose tissue morphology, carcass characteristics, and gene expression related to growth. The probiotic mixture significantly improved growth rates, feed conversion rate, and final weight of the tilapia. The additive promoted white muscle fiber hypertrophy, inhibited specific gene expressions, and increased intestinal villi, enhancing nutrient absorption and utilization.
