Fish live in a medium that is an especially good conductor of sound, and the myriad extant species—some 25,000 in the class Osteichthyes (bony fishes) alone (Nelson, 1984)—have evolved diverse mechanisms for transducing acoustic stimuli. It should not be surprising if sophisticated functionality in the auditory domain turns out to be a major component of the perceptual and cognitive capabilitie...

This study aims to analyze the factors that affect income levels, estimate economic value, financial feasibility and alternative policies for development of goldfish (Cyprinus carpio) cultivation in floating net cages an effort develop fishery potential Koto Panjang Hydroelectric Reservoir, Kampar Regency, Riau Province. The sampling location is determined based on (purposive sampling). method ...

In the present investigation a total of six parasite species, some eye-specific and others non-organ specific parasites were found in the eyes of 48 examined fish species, collected from fresh and brackish waters of Iran during 2004-2006. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis  was isolated from the external surface of the eyes of Oncorhynchus mykiss, Gyrodactylus stankovici from Cyprinus carpio and Lern...

The aim of this study was to establish an experimental protocol for the artificial reproduction royal carp ‘Cyprinus carpio’ with hormonal induction spawning. For purpose, we conducted at aquaculture farm in Khemis Meliana (Ain Defla, Algeria). included six broodstock, 4 females and 2 males. Hormone injection performed dorsal muscle under fin. done successively by GnRH a dose 3 mg/kg males hCG ...

The present investigation was carried out to compare the haematological and biochemical parameters in healthy and Monogenean infected Cyprinus carpio. The haematological analysis showed significant reduction (P<0.01) in RBC, haemoglobin, haematocrit (PCV) and lymphocyte in monogenean infected fishes, whereas total leucocyte count (TLC), neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes significantly incre...

The Common carp, Cyprinus carpio was exposed to sublethal concentrations of chromium for various exposure periods (8, 16, 24 and 32days). Serum glucose, total protein, total cholesterol, serum GOT and GPT were measured both in control and experimental fish. During various exposure periods (8, 16, 24 and 32 days), the levels of serum glucose, total cholesterol, GOT and GPT levelss were (P<0.05) ...

Androgenesis involves the development of an organism with only paternal chromosomes. The induction of androgenesis using diploid sperm, highly effective UV-irradiation of egg, dispermy using heterologous eggs, the possibility of producing supermales for all male production and the recovery of cryopreserved sperm are recent technological developments in androgenesis in fish. However, few researc...
