“…The mola, Amblypharyngodon mola is one of the most popular small indigenous fish (SIF) species in Bangladesh, which occupy almost all of the shallow freshwater habitats (Mondal & Kaviraj, 2013;Mondal et al, 2019). This fish has drawn significant commercial and cultural value due to its premium nutritional value (Abdulla et al, 2004;Alam et al, 2004;Shikha et al, 2019) and current adoption as ornamental fish in aquarium (Gupta & Banerjee, 2015). Currently this species is also subjected to coculturation with other cyprinid fish or in traditional pond culture technique to supplement domestic food supply in South Asian countries (Neetu & Seema, 2018).…”

The mola carplet, Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton, 1822) is the most common small indigenous freshwater fish species in Bangladesh. The precise information addressing the reproduction in this species including breeding peak, ovarian histology, morphometry, and sex ration in nature is still insufficient. A one yearlong filed survey and different laboratory assays have been directed to disclose some key features of reproduction in female A. mola from wetland reservoirs in the greater Sylhet region in Bangladesh. The total length and the body weight have shown a strong correlation with gonad weight, occupying statistical r 2 values of 0.89 and 0.91, respectively. However, a Chi-square test at P<0.05 reported no significant deviation in sex ration of the wetland's stock. The maximum fecundity has been reported during the month of May as 12569+620 while the lowest is during the month of July as 9377+455. The highest values for gonadosomatic index have been reported in May while the lowest is in January with another peak in November. The histological study of ovarian cells resulted in the characterization of oocytes, previtellogenic oocytes, vitellogenic oocytes, perinuclear oocytes, and mature cells with yolk mass.

“…Amblypharyngodon mola (family Cichlidae) has recently received attention as a potential animal crop for alleviating malnutrition in human populations because of its capability to retain high amounts of micronutrients [4][5][6]. It is reported to be exceptionally rich in vitamin A, calcium and iron [7][8][9]. This species thrives in small freshwater bodies and is indigenous to south and south-east Asia, including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan [10].…”

pH and Temperature Dependent Gut Enzyme Niche in a Stomachless Herbivorous Freshwater Fish <i>Amblypharyngodon mola</i> (Hamilton, 1822)

The activities of digestive α-amylase (E. C. 3.2.1.1), total proteases, and bile salt-activated lipase (E. C. 3.1.1.-) along the digestive tract (lengthwise divided into five equal parts) of a stomachless freshwater fish (n = 10, weight = 4.354±0.316 g, standard length = 21.641±2.271 cm) were measured at different pH and temperature levels. Different optimum pH and temperature for the activity of α-amylase (8-9, 35°C), proteases (7-8, 45°C), and lipase (8, 45°C) were observed. The first two regions of the digestive tract showed comparatively higher activity of all enzymes. The hierarchical clustering technique revealed three different enzymatically active regions, more inclined to pH in the digestive tract of the studied fish. The present study also supports that the stomachless gut of A. mola has substantial resemblances to the intestinal part of the digestive tract of fish.

“…Food is the most essential and the main source of energy for the growth and survival in fishes (Mamun et al, 2004) which plays an important role in determining the population levels, rate of growth and condition (Begum et al, 2008). Food and feeding habits of fishes vary with time of the day, size of the fish and season of the year (Serajuddin and Ali, 2005) and their studies have manifold importance in fishery biology, farming and management programmes (Bhuiyan et al, 2006;Begum et al, 2008;Sarkar and Deepak, 2009).…”

Appropriate information regarding food and feeding habits of fish is an important requirement for fish production under aquaculture (Mamun et al, 2004). Therefore, the present study was undertaken to identify the feeding habits and dietary composition of S. phasa to generate basic information for developing culture technologies and to facilitate its sustainable aquaculture.…”

Dietary composition and feeding intensity in relation to season, size and maturity stages of the Gangetic hairfin anchovy Setipinna phasa (Hamilton, 1822) were investigated in the present study. Strong dentition, modified gill rakers, strongly built stomach and short intestine were some of the basic characteristics associated with the feeding habits of S. phasa. Relative length of gut (RLG) indices indicated the absence of any major shift from basically carnivorous orientation of the fish during its various life stages. Feeding intensity was relatively high in stage III (gonad ripening stage) and low in the stages IV and V (ripe and spent). Insects and crustaceans were the main food of adults while annelids and insects were eaten by juveniles. Adult individuals of river Ganga consumed more food during winter than summer and rainy seasons, while the food intake in adult specimens of Hooghly Estuary was greater during summer compared to winter and rainy seasons. Study of food and feeding habits of fishes provides base line information for facilitating fisheries management programmes and sustainable aquaculture.
