We first estimated the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the brain, liver, bladder, roe, and muscle of four species of edible freshwater fish from the Beijing market. The distribution characteristics of PAHs in these tissues and organs were analyzed to determine their health risks to humans. The results showed that the residual levels of wet weight and lipid-normalized weigh...

the aim of this study was to determine the concentration of copper and hazard quotient (hq) in muscle of the carp aquaculture fishes (common carp) (cyprinus carpio), grass carp (ctenopharyngodon idella), big head carp (aristichthys nobilis) and silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix)] in khuzestan province. 108 pieces farmed fish sampled was prepared from the azadegan warm water fish culture ...

The article presents the results of researches conducted on Lake Ozgent (the Kyzylorda region). data hydrochemical regime lake, ionic composition, composition biogenous compounds, oxygen and thermal regimes were collected analysed. There has been done assessment food supply current state ichthyofauna. According to obtained data, recommendations about using made, recommended meliorative events (...

Sixty days feeding experiment was conducted on grass carp fry fed isocaloric diets with variable protein levels in order to evaluate its growth response. Different diet ingredients were analyzed for % age protein, % age fat, % age ash, % fiber, % age moisture contents and energy. Five isoenergetic (17.91 ± 0.02 Kg MJ ) and isolipidic (8.56 ± 0.09 g) diets with varying protein levels PL1 (20%), ...

UNLABELLED Since 2009, catfish farming in the southeastern United States has been severely impacted by a highly virulent and clonal population of Aeromonas hydrophila causing motile Aeromonas septicemia (MAS) in catfish. The possible origin of this newly emerged highly virulent A. hydrophila strain is unknown. In this study, we show using whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics that A....

Characterization of the transcriptomic response to infection is an effective approach to understanding the immune mechanisms. Herein we challenged grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) with grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and sequenced four cDNA libraries obtained from head-kidney and spleen by using Illumina Miseq. As a result, we gained a total of 21.52 Gb clean data with 107.96 million reads, and ...
