Evaluating the Nutritional Condition of an Indian Climbing Perch, Anabas Testudineus Fingerlings by the RNA/DNA, Ca/P Ratio and Protein Bio-Synthesis in Liver and Muscle
Abstract:Early fingerlings of Anabas testudineus were nurtured in the laboratory for six weeks under altered nutritional status (different dietary protein level and source) and feeding regimes (ad libitum, 'limited', and 'starvation' intervals). Their RNA/DNA, Ca/P ratios and protein biosynthesis were determined with highly sensitive fluorescence technique, spectrophotometer and liquid scintillation system respectively. Well-fed early fingerlings (4-6 weeks age group) having higher RNA/DNA (2.11), Ca/P (1.82) ratio and… Show more
