“…The egg diameter of 0.86-0.92 mm observed in the present study was greater than that reported by Sarkar et al (2005) (0.60-0.84 mm). In addition, whereas Sarkar et al (2005) reported larval length larger than 7 mm on day-5 and 22.4 mm a month after hatching, the BL (mean ± SD) observed in this study on days-5 and 30 were 4.8 ± 0.2 mm and 16.9 ± 2.3 mm, respectively (Fig. 1), despite similar water temperatures in both cases [average 28.4°C (in the present study) vs. 28.5°C].…”

“…According to Sarkar et al (2005), Anabas testudineus collected from Punarbhaba River, West Bengal, India, spawned on average more than 100,000 eggs per female (average weight 67 g), very much more than the quantity obtained either in this study (ca. 14,000 eggs) from one female weighing 50 g or in another artificial breeding trial (ca.…”

“…Fundamental aquaculture trials for A. testudineus are ongoing in several countries (e.g., India and Vietnam) on the basis of recent studies on artificial breeding, seed production and nursing technologies (Trieu and Long 2001;Tuan et al 2002;Mijkherjee et al 2003;Sarkar et al 2005). However, morphological and ecological features of larval and juvenile stages, as key issues for improving seed productivity as well as stock assessment, have scarcely been investigated so far, not only for this species, but also for other species of the entire genus Anabas.…”

Growth and morphological development of laboratory-reared larval and juvenile climbing perch Anabas testudineus

et al. 2008

Morphological development, including fin and labyrinth organ, body proportions and pigmentation, in laboratory-reared larval and juvenile climbing perch Anabas testudineus was described and behavioral features under rearing condition were observed. Body lengths (BL) of larvae and juveniles were 1.9 ± 0.1 (mean ± SD) mm just after hatching (day-0), 8.7 ± 1.3 mm on day-19, reaching 18.4 ± 2.1 mm on day-35 after hatching. Aggregate fin ray numbers attained full complements in juveniles larger than 8.3 mm BL. Preflexion larvae started feeding on day-2 following formation of the upper and lower jaws, the yolk being completely absorbed by day-7 after hatching. Teeth appeared in flexion larvae larger than 5 mm BL on day-6, with cannibalism starting shortly after and continuing with further growth. Melanophores on the body increased with growth, a large dark spot developing on the lateral midline around caudal margin of the body in the postflexion and juvenile stages. The labyrinth organ differentiated in postflexion larvae larger than 7.2 mm BL on day-16, with air-breathing starting at the same time. Body proportions attained constant in postflexion larvae larger than 7.0 mm BL, and habitat of fish shifted from bottom to mid-layer. With the exception of fin ray numbers, the above morphological developments corresponded to behavioral shifts that occurred in the postflexion stage (ca. 7 mm BL), their subsequent continuity illustrating that the species possessed most juvenile-equivalent functions from ca. 7 mm BL.

“…Anabas testudineus is an important commercial fish in Southeast Asia and usually sold alive at a high price in local markets. Anabas testudineus is now threatened by environmental changes, such as land development and, increasing demand for fish, resulting from a growing human population that relies of fish as its primary animal protein source (Baird et al 2003), Anabas testudineus has been considered a possible new target fish species for commercial aquaculture since around the year 2000 (Sarkar et al 2005). Although aquaculture will help to fulfil the increasing demand for food, it may cause genetic disturbance in natural populations.…”

Genetic variation in the climbing perch Anabas testudineus (Bloch) was investigated by sequencing 1047 base pairs of the mitochondrial ND2 gene. A total of 367 fish samples were collected from the Mekong River. The samples were separated into two genetically differentiated intra-specific groups, the Laotian and Cambodian group, showing a population structure roughly in accordance with geographical location. Genetic differentiation between groups was confirmed by high pairwise F-statistic values (0.52-0.98). Molecular clock analysis indicated that both populations were separated approximately 240 000 years ago. Additionally, samples within both groups could be divided into several regional small populations. Their genetic variation might have been supported not only by environmental factors including physical barriers, but also by historical events such as migration routes and/or timing of invasions into the Mekong River. These results could be valuable in identifying management units for the conservation of the species and its resource.

This study aimed to investigate nutrition in climbing perch Anabas testudineus which is an important nutritious economic freshwater fish in Asia and compare with Carassius auratus (crucian carp). Three kinds of tissues, including muscle, livers, and eggs, were isolated, respectively. Physicochemical properties including moisture, ash, protein, amino acids, fat, vitamins, and calcium contents in those tissues were determined. The results showed climbing perch muscle and liver contained less moisture, but more protein, amino acids, and vitamins than crucian carp muscle and liver. While moisture, ash, protein, and total amino acids contents of climbing perch egg were lower than those of crucian carp egg. Climbing perch egg had more fat, vitamins, and calcium than crucian carp egg. The amino acid profile was also performed, and 16 amino acids were identified and quantified in muscle, liver, and egg. Among tissues, the highest and lowest concentration of total amino acid content was found in crucian carp eggs and livers, respectively. Glutamic acid (Glu) and histidine (His) were the most and least amino acids in climbing perch and crucian carp tissues, respectively. Sixteen amino acids in climbing perch egg were less than those in crucian carp egg while it is an opposite case in muscle and liver, which amino acids of climbing perch tissues were more than those of crucian carp muscle and liver. Vitamin A of climbing perch was more than crucian carp in all three tissues, but vitamin E content in climbing perch liver was lower than that of crucian carp liver. Calcium content of muscle had no difference between two species. The abovementioned comparison of physicochemical properties of different tissues from China climbing perch and crucian carp will provide a necessary supplementary of freshwater muscle nutrition research, also was helpful for application of climbing perch.
