The Effect of Intraperitoneally Applied Pure Microcystin LR on Haematological and Morphological Indices of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Val.)

Liver Transcriptome and miRNA Analysis of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Intraperitoneally Injected With Microcystin-LR

Aspects of Embryonic and Larval Development in Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix

As bighead carp Hypophthalmichthysnobilis and silver carp H. molitrix (the bigheaded carps) are poised to enter the Laurentian Great Lakes and potentially damage the region's economically important fishery, information on developmental rates and behaviors of carps is critical to assessing their ability to establish sustainable populations within the Great Lakes basin. In laboratory experiments,...

Effects of 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) anesthesia on some haematological and biochemical indices of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)

In this study, the anesthetic effects of 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) on possible primary (cortisol level) and secondary (haematological indices and glucose level) stress responses were studied in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Fish were first exposed to 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 mL L-1 2-PE, and the time of induction (deep anesthesia) and recovery were measured. At concentrations of 0.5,...

Pathogen Susceptibility of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and Bighead Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) in the Wabash River Watershed

Effect of chemical herbicides and insecticides on mortality and feeding of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)

Fingerlings of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) were used in an ecotoxicological investigation. The fish were exposed to (0.3-10 mg/l) Machete, (3-5 mg/l) Saturn, (1.5-13 mg/l) Diazinon and (1-10 mg/l) Malathion to measure the toxicity effect of these chemicals on mortality, feeding and ingestion rate. Methods for investigation on mortality were according to TRC (1984) and feeding beha...
