Synopsis (short abstract) Heavy deposition of haemosiserin pigments in the liver and ovary of Indian major carp, Catla catla and Chinese silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitirx suffering from dropsy has been reported for the first time. Histopathological investigations revealed structural abnormalities such as disruption of normal chordal arrangements of the liver cells and their degeneration and necrosis and also damage of blood vessels in the ovary. Deposition of haemosiderin pigments in the ovary of both healthy and diseased specimens of catla may probably have some relevance with the poor gonadal maturation of the fish.

Diagnostic work and research on (carp) fish diseases and fish health monitoring at FARTC (Freshwater Aquaculture Research and Training Centre) (CIFRI) (Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute) Dhauli, India 1983

Also available in:

No results found.

This report describes the work carried out at the Freshwater Aquaculture Research and Training Centre (FARTC) under the FAO/UNDP Project IND/75/031 in the field of fish health protection and diseases and outlines suggestions on future research programmes. The review of the implementation of the existing research programmes showed that considerable progress has been made and the review of diagnostic work on fish diseases revealed occurrence of several known and of several so far undescribed dis eases in cultured fish. The research programmes should be directed towards further development of methodologies, continued inventory of the most significant fish health problems in pond culture in India, development of prophylactic measures and study of selected significant diseases.
