triploidy in grass carp, ctenopharyngodon idella valenciennes, 1844, was induced on fertilized eggs to compare cold and heat shocks. two simplified methods explained for verification of triploidy in grass carp. the cold shock (7 ?c) was given in three treatments for 30 min starting 2.0, 2.5 and 4.0 min after fertilization. in cold shock, the start point (2.0 min after fertilization) showed the ...

A study was carried out on the optimal dose of inorganic fertilizer used in carp polyculture system over a period of 10 months. Three treatments were assigned: without inorganic fertilizer, with the application of 100 kg/ha/month inorganic fertilizer and 150 kg/ha/month inorganic fertilizer as T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Each treatment had three replications. The selected indigenous carp speci...

The grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is one of the most important freshwater fish species in China and the world; grass carp production accounts for about 16% of the world’s total freshwater aquaculture [1]. In 2015, Wang et al. performed whole-genome sequencing and de novo assembly for a female (0.9 Gb) and male grass carp (1.07 Gb) by using the shotgun sequencing strategy [2]. Based on th...

The paper reviews all the reports concerning parasitic fauna of three species carps cultured in Al-Furat fish farm, Babylon province, mid Iraq. These fishes included common carp (Cyprinus carpio), grass (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) as well mullet (Liza abu) found same farm. 60 valid parasite species: ten protozoans, myxozoans, 29 monogeneans, one trematode,...

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional value (proximate composition, fatty acid profiles, vitamins and minerals) contents and also nutritional quality indices (NQI)) of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) prepared according to common consumer techniques: raw, poached, steamed, microwaved, pan-fried and deep-fried (in olive oil). In comparison to raw fish fillets, when grass carp was cook...

BACKGROUND De novo transcriptome sequencing is a robust method of predicting miRNA target genes, especially for organisms without reference genomes. Differentially expressed miRNAs had been identified previously in kidney samples collected from susceptible and resistant grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) affected by Aeromonas hydrophila. Target identification for these differentially expresse...
