EFFECT OF ECOSYSTEMS ON GUT ENZYMES IN AGE AND SEX-DEPENDENT OF ANADROMOUS HILSA, TENUALOSA ILISHA (HAM, 1822)
This study investigated age-and sex-dependent variations in digestive enzymes of migratory Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) across freshwater, brackish, and marine habitats.Results showed significant sex-based variations in amylase and protease (p < 0.05), while lipase showed significant differences (F = 4.745, p < 0.05).Protease activity was significantly influenced by the ecosystem (F = 109.6,p < 0.001).Enzyme responses varied by habitat with dietary adaptations in different salinities.The observations led to optimizing the Hilsa feed based on age, sex, and habitat.
