The analysis of its gut content revealed the presence of 62 genera of planktonic life forms along with other animal matters. The organization of the alimentary tract and maximum Relative Mean Length of Gut (0.511±0.029 mm) indicated its carnivorous food habit. The peak gastro-somatic index (GSI) in winter-spring seasons and summer-rainy seasons indicated alteration of its feeding intensity. Furthermore, higher diet breadth on resource use (Levins’ and Hurlbert’s) with zooplankton compared to phytoplankton and Keywords: total plankton confirmed its zooplanktivore habit. The feeding strategy Diet breadth plots also suggested greater preference to zooplankton compared to Feeding strategy phytoplankton. The organization of its gill rakers specified a secondary Pachypterus atherinoides modification of gut towards either carnivory or specialized zooplanktivory. -

CAS Marine Biology, Annamalai University, Parangipettai-608502, Tamilnadu, India Article History: Received 10th September 2018; Accepted 12th February 2019; Published 10th March 2019 ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the morphologic and microscopic features of spleen as the important lymphatic organ on immune system of Mystus vittatus were recognized. A total of 60 adult fishes of both sexes, weighing 42-45 g (standard length 12-15 cm) collected from Vellar estuary, Parangipettai, Tamilnadu. After removing the spleen, it was immediately fixed in Bouin’s solution and transport to the laboratory. The 5-6 µm sections were made using paraffin embedding techniques and stained by Haematoxylin and Eosin. The spleen as an elongated organ located on the middle part of digestive canal and microscopically was covered by a capsule of connective tissue and an epithelial layer. Spleen included white and red pulps. There are some similarities and some differences between spleen of this species and mammals. Spleen as the biggest and the most important lymphatic organ and microscopically very similar to spleen of mammals has many functions such as lymphatic cell production. Histomorphology of spleen shows that in M. vittatus is organized inside spleen and like some fishes, splenopancreas structure is present.

This study also intended to show food preference and feeding habits of M. vittatus which may reflect the availability of prey items in coastal waters of Bangladesh. Among the wide variety of prey consumed, fishes (47.08%) were the most important dietary component of this species. The next major food group was diatoms (12.08%) followed by insects (11.75%), green algae (8.75%), crustaceans (5.67%), blue green algae (3.67%), plant matter (2.67%), worms (2.67%), copepods (0.58%), mollusks (0.92%). There was a monthly variations noticed in the percentage composition of the food items. The outcome of the study facilitates the examination of complex food and feeding pattern of fishes and identifies groups of species that use similar resources within a specific community and can serve as a reference for feeding ecology of fishes in highly impacted tropical habitats.

Fecundity of the Threatened Fish, Mystus Vittatus
Sains Malaysiana 45(6)(2016): 899–907 Fecundity of the Threatened Fish, Mystus vittatus (Siluriformes: Bagridae) in the Padma River, Bangladesh (Kesuburan Ikan Terancam, Mystus vittatus (Siluriformes: Bagridae) di Sungai Padma, Bangladesh) MD. MOSADDEQUR RAHMAN*, MD. YEAMIN HOSSAIN, SOHANA PARVIN, MST. SADIA RAHMAN, ZOARDER FARUQUE AHMED, JUN OHTOMI & ELSAYED FATHI ABD ALLAH ABSTRACT The threatened indigenous small fish, Mystus vittatus (Bloch 1794) is a commercially important fish of Bangladesh. The present study describes the fecundity and its relationships with some of the morphometrics and condition factors (Fulton’s, KF; Relative weight, WR) of M. vittatus. A total of 50 matured female M. vittatus were collected using the cast net from the Padma River during May-July, 2012. Total fecundity (FT) of each female was calculated as the number of oocytes found in each ovary, whereas relative fecundity (FR) was the number of oocytes per gram of fish weight. The total length (TL) ranged from 8.21 to 12.36 cm (10.60±1.08 cm) and the body weight (BW) varied between 6.0 and 21.65 g (14.08±4.15 g). The FT ranged from 3256 to 22549 with a mean value of 13064.50±4920 while the FR ranged from 472 to 1648 oocytes per gram of female, with a mean of 929±245. Significant and strong relationships were found 2 2 2 between FT vs. TL (r = 0.63; p<0.001), FT vs. BW (r = 0.61; p<0.001), FT vs. OW (r = 0.89; p<0.001) and FT vs. GSI (rs = 0.67; p<0.001), but insignificant relationships were recorded for TF vs.
