the 60 apparently common carp, cyprinus carpio (mean weight 700g.) divided to two groups (1:control and 2: test) and transferred to 1000 liter indoor fiberglass tanks supplied with static well water, continuous aeration and defined water quality. test group was exposed to 30ppb (low concentration) cadmium as cdcl 2 (merck) control group was without cadmium addition . blood samples were caught r...

BACKGROUND Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the most important aquaculture species with an annual global production of 3.4 million metric tons. It is also an important ornamental species as well as an important model species for aquaculture research. To improve the economically important traits of this fish, a number of genomic resources and genetic tools have been developed, including s...

Composite culture of edible fishes (common carp, Cryprinus carpio; silver carp, Hypopthalmithys molitrix, grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella; catla, Catla catla; rohu, Labeo rohita; and mrigal, Cirrhinus mrigala) in rice fields in the Cauvery delta of Tamil Nadu, southern India, resulted in 81.0% reduction in the immature mosquito population of anophelines and 83.5% of culicines. Analysis of f...

The crucian carp (Carassius carassius L.) exhibits the unique ability among vertebrates to maintain cardiac performance at normoxic levels during prolonged anoxia exposure. This thesis investigates the hypothesis that this phenomenon is possible because the heart likely never experiences an extracellular pH below 7.4 due to the fish’s exclusive trait of converting lactate and H ions to ethanol....

The main objective of this study was to describe the proper technological process of hot smoking of common carp as well as to determine the yield of the final product and also proximate and fatty acid composition of hot-smoked common carp meat. The average yield of smoked common carp was 82.19% based on weight of eviscerated and descaled fish or 47% based on weight of live fish. The smoking pro...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of wood betony (wb), stachys lavandulifolia extract on growth performance and some immune responses in common carp, cyprinus carpio. different concentrations of the wb extract 0, 2, 4 and 8% (g per 100 g of diet) were added to commercial diet. each treatment was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of fish having average initial weight ...

Anagrelide is an established therapy for essential thrombocythemia. Common adverse effects have been linked to peak plasma concentrations of anagrelide and its 3OH metabolite. Our study was performed to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a novel anagrelide extended-release (AER) formulation and its active metabolites. Thirty healthy volunteers were randomized to receive either 2 mg AER (u...

We studied whether two IGF2 transcripts in common carp are similar to those found in zebrafish. The full-length IGF2a cDNA contains a 5'-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 105 bp, a 3'-terminal UTR of 1358 bp and an open reading frame of 612 bp, which encodes a 206-amino acid protein. A 6614-bp full-length IGF2a DNA molecule, including the 5'-flanking region, was isolated. Genomic DNA ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biogen probiotic additives on growth performance of common carp, cyprinus carpio. four practical diets containing 0 (control) , 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % biogen probiotic were used to feed fish. seventy-two juvenile common carp (65 ? 3.5g) were randomly distributed between 12 fiberglass tanks of 500 l capacity. during 60 days of feeding trial, the...
