In the present study, we reported infection with eighteen species of the genus Dactylogyrus, belong to thefamily Dactylogyridae from five breeder fish species, including common carp (Cyprinus carpio), grass carp(Ctenopharyngodon idella), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), big head carp (Hypophthalmichthysnobilis) and black carp (Myelopharyngodon piceus) which introduced and imported to ...

background & aim: marshmallow (althaea officinalis) is one of the most popular medicinal plants used in traditional medicine with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of marshmallow extract (althaea officinalis l.) administration on blood cells and biochemical parameters of carp liver. experimental: 150 carp (weighing 37.65 ± 4.40 g) wer...

Comparison of protein, fat, ash and dry matter content common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. silver Hypophthalmichthys molitrix fillet

The purpose of this study was to monitor the concentrations of mercury in the edible muscle, gill, liver, and skin of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), in the Sanandaj Gheshlagh Reservoir, Iran. Mercury concentrations were assayed using Shimadzu AA 6600 atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and the results were given as µg/g wet weight. The level of mer...

The objective of the current study was determined chemical composition (including protein, lipid, ash and moisture) and content of minerals (Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, Cr, Ca, Na, Mg, Mo, P, Se, K, I and F) in five fish species from the South Caspian Sea. The chemical analysis revealed that the protein content of common kilka, Caspian kutum, common carp, pike perch and golden grey mullet was 18.35%, 21.39...

A high-resolution genetic linkage map is essential for a wide range of genetics and genomics studies such as comparative genomics analysis and QTL fine mapping. Crucian carp (Carassius auratus) is widely distributed in Eurasia, and is an important aquaculture fish worldwide. In this study, a high-density genetic linkage map was constructed for crucian carp using 2b-RAD technology. The consensus...

Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), a member of the family Alloherpesviridae is the causative agent of a lethal, highly contagious and notifiable disease in common and koi carp. The economic importance of common and koi carp industries together with the rapid spread of CyHV-3 worldwide, explain why this virus became soon after its isolation in the 1990s a subject of applied research. In addition t...

ALMAS A GHEYAS PhD THESIS, INSTITUTE OF AQUACULTURE ii ABSTRACT Carp aquaculture in South Asia suffers severely from a lack of genetic management, which has eroded the genetic quality of both captive and wild populations. Use of molecular markers, especially microsatellites, has revolutionized genetic management of hatchery stocks through its ability to detect kinship between individuals and he...
