Abstract:
|
Effect of pyridoxine on growth, metabolism and cellular activity of
freshwater prawn Macrobrachiuni rosenbergii was studied. Postlarvae
(PL-10) of M. rosenbergii were fed with clam meat containing
various concentrations of pyridoxine. After 30 days RNA and DNA
of the abdominal tissues were estimated. Length, weight and RNA
to DNA ratio increased significantly with increasing concentrations
of pyridoxine. The effect of pyridoxine on the metabolic enzyme,
malate dehydrogenase, was also studied. Vmax showed a significant
decrease and the (Km) showed a significant increase in experimental
groups compared to control. |
