Unravelling the evolution of Africa's drainage basins through a widespread freshwater fish, the African sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven
Aim The formation history of Africa's current river basins remains largely unknown. In order to date changes in landscape and climate, we studied the biogeography of the African freshwater fish with the largest natural distribution. We also validated biogeographical units.Location Continental Africa.Taxon Clarias gariepinus sl.Methods We investigated mitochondrial cytb sequences of 443 individuals from 97 localities, using a haplotype network ...
Potential of processed animal protein versus soybean meal to replace fish meal in practical diets for European catfish (**Silurus glanis**) Universiteit Antwerpen
A 9-week study was conducted to evaluate the potential of processed animal protein (PAP) in comparison with soybean meal (SM) to replace fish meal (FM) in practical diets for European catfish, Silurus glanis, on growth performance, liver transaminase activities and expression of growth-related genes. Seven isonitrogenous (440gkg(-1) crude protein) and isoenergetic (16.70MJ/kg) practical diets were formulated by replacing 0 (control), 30%, 60% ...
Candiru catfish ... a fish with many names and many novelties Universiteit Gent
Serum carbohydrate-binding IgM are present in Vietnamese striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) but not in North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Pangasianodon hypophthalmus serum was fractionated by affinity chromatography on 12 different Sepharose-carbohydrate columns and proteins eluted by the corresponding sugar. Binding to the affinity matrices is dependent on Ca2+ ions. Upon gel filtration using Superose-12, essentially one fraction was obtained, eluting as a protein with a molecular mass of about 900 kDa. SDS-PAGE in reducing conditions revealed the presence of large (72 kDa) ...
Growth performance and intestinal morphology of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Burchell, 1822) larvae fed on live and dry feeds Universiteit Gent
Analysis of ontogenetic changes in head shape and diet in a catfish with moderately enlarged jaw adductors (Clariallabes melas) Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Jaw adductor hypertrophy, or the presence of enlarged jaw-closing muscles, has arisen several times independently in African clariid catfish. Previous work has demonstrated that species characterized by enlarged jaw adductors may have unusual ways of foraging such as terrestrial foraging and prey capture, and often include a large proportion of hard and terrestrial prey in their diet. However, relatively little is known about species of the ...

Pharmacokinetics and depletion of florfenicol in striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus after oral administration Universiteit Gent
Florfenicol is commonly used to treat bacterial diseases in striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus aquaculture with limited knowledge of pharmacokinetic database, explaining treatment failures experienced by farmers. Striped catfish (100 g) were fed medicated feed (10 mg florfenicol/kg fish) by oral gavage. Plasma, liver, and kidney were collected up to 96.0 h after drug administration and analyzed for florfenicol. A single oral gavage dose ...
