This study investigated the effect of a lotic environment on morphological characteristics and energy metabolism in juvenile grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella. The fish were stocked forced to swim for 12 h per day 4 weeks at three water current velocities 0.5, 2, body length s−1 (Bl s−1). control lentic with 0 Bl s−1. results showed that significantly increased weight, length, condition factor...

As an important freshwater species with economic and ecological benefits, silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) exhibits poor tolerance to hypoxia. Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are core membrane proteins that transport glucose tissues regulate essential life activities. Its expression is regulated by HIF-1α cells in hypoxic conditions maintain energy demand through GLUTs inducing enhanced t...

The purpose of this study is to describe the histological, histochemical and ultrastructural features of pancreas of the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), one of the common herbivorous freshwater fish of Egypt. The pancreas is divided into exocrine and endocrine portions. Exocrine pancreatic tissues consists of scattered serous acini, and is observed in two forms: 1) disseminated in the spl...

OBJECTIVES The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of peracetic acid (PAA) on haematotological and biochemical indices, antioxidant status, micronucleus induction and histopathological alterations of liver and gill in grass carp. METHODS Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) juveniles were exposed to therapeutic concentrations (1, and 3 mg x l(-1)) of PAA for a period of 10 days. S...

hybrids were produced by crossing female caspian kutum rutilus frisii kutum with male grass carp ctenopharyngodon idella. the genome of eight larvae and parents were studied using microsatellite markers for genetic evaluation and verification. after dna extraction from parent fish and progeny, hybrid heritability of two loci was assessed using two pairs of microsatellite primers. hybridizie...
