Biological Aspects of Channa limbata (Cuvier, 1831) in Ta Bo - Huai Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, Phetchabun Province, Thailand

Abstract

The biological aspects of Channa limbata were studied between November 2013 and October 2014

Effectiveness of the Addition of Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) Extracts in Commercial Pellet as Immunostimulant for Snakehead (Channa striata)

“…A negative allometric growth pattern in the present study has also been reported for C. striata from Agusan Marsh, Philippines [7], C. diplogramma from Lake Vembanad, India [6],C. limbata from Ta Bo -HuaiYai Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand [46] and C. obscura from Ologe Lagoon, Nigeria [47]. Our finding was contrary to C. striatus from Uttar Pradesh, India [5]; C. punctata from Gomti River, India [48] and Parachannaobscura from Buyo reservoir, West Africa [49], in which exhibited positive allometric growth pattern (b> 3).…”

Oodev Injection Frequency and Time Period in Advancing Gonad Rematuration of Snakehead (channastriata Blkr) in Hapa System

“…The young mother spawning for the first time produces small eggs (about 0.8 mm diameter); the productive females will produce large eggs (about 1 mm) and old females again producing small eggs (about 0.8 mm). A relationship between length, weight, and fecundity for the family Channidae was well-documented in C. gachua (Gaikwad et al, 2009;Widodo et al, 2013), C. striatus (Islam et al, 2013;Sakhare, 2015), and C. Limbata (Khomsab and Wannasri, 2017). Figure 1 clearly shows that the ratio of fecundity to body weight as well as the ratio of fecundity to body length increases proportionally to the time periods of oodev injections given.…”

“…Snakehead (Channa striata Blkr) of family Channidae, is considered as valuable food fish not only in Indonesia (Widodo et al, 2013;Irhamsyah et al, 2017), but also other countries such as Thailand (Khomsab and Wannasri, 2017), Philippines (Jumawan and Seronay, 2017), Vietnam (Quyen et al, 2016), Malaysia (Song et al, 2013), Cambodia (Sinh, 2014), Sri Lanka (Wijeyaratne, 1994), Nigeria (Ama-Abasi and Ogar, 2013), Bangladesh (Islam et al, 2013), India (Kashyap et al, 2014), Pakistan (Najero et al, 2015) and China (Guet al, 2015) due to delicious, high-quality meat fish and availability throughout the year. Snakehead can be commercially cultured in fish farming, earthen ponds, or hapa system (Kumar et al, 2011;Quyen et al, 2016), and culture strategies of them are currently being developed (Xie et al, 2002;Xie et al, 2017;He et al, 2015;Istiyanto and Diana, 2016).…”
