Fish, being an important consumer in aquatic ecosystems, plays a significant role by affecting the key processes of ecosystems. Omnivorous fish consume variety food both from pelagic and benthic habitats may directly or indirectly affect plankton community as well lake trophic state. We conducted 72-day outdoor experiment mesocosms with without Prussian carp (Carassius auratus) to evaluate effe...

A rapid and sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) detection in gibel carp was developed. Following cloning and sequencing of the putative DNA helicase gene of CyHV-2 isolate from China, a set of four specific primers was designed based on the sequence. The MgCl2 concentration and the reaction temperature were optimized to 6 mM, 64°C, r...

Abstract The application of invasive fish Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio Bloch, 1782) as bioindicator organism, using intestine tissue anthropogenic influence in the lowland Ilova River was estimated. Intestinal enables investigation dietborne metal uptake, so first record on intestinal levels presented, total and cytosolic fraction, which indicates proportions potentially toxic bioavailable ...
