Raphidascaris (Sprentascaris) lanfrediae sp. nov. is described from the intestine of the freshwater fish Satanoperca jurupari (Heckel) (Cichlidae) from the Guamá River, state of Pará, Brazil. The prevalence in fish (n = 59) was 27% with intensity of one-124 (mean 16) nematodes per fish. The new species is characterized mainly by the markedly larger size of ventricular appendix in relation to th...

The aim of this study was to investigate the structure and ultrastructure of the digestive tract of Qinling lenok (Brachymystax tsinlingensis Li, 1966), a cold water Salmonidae fish, an endangered teleost species, with high potential for controlled rearing in Shaanxi Province of China, by light and electron microscopy. Morphological data of the digestive tract are important for understanding fi...

In this review, we investigated published data on the occurrence of microplastic in Arctic fish, and suitability species for risk assessment monitoring. As 11 November 2021, found nine studies peer-reviewed literature, one thesis report, confirming fishes from multiple regions. The varied methodology, detection, quantification limitations, reported categories size, shape, chemical identity. All...

Abstract Background Currently, nanotechnology and nanoparticles have quickly emerged gained the attention of scientists due to their massive applications in environmental sectors. However, these silver potentially cause serious effects on terrestrial aquatic organisms. In current study, freshwater fish C. carpio were exposed blood-mediated for toxicity, mortality, bioaccumulation, histological ...

A vibrio isolated from the intestine of a coastal fish was identified as Vibrio hollisae by its biochemical characteristics. The isolate reacted with the gene probe for the thermostable direct hemolysin of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The hemolysin produced by the isolate from the fish had traits identical to those of the thermostable direct hemolysin-like hemolysin produced by a clinical strain of...

The uptake and accumulation of microcystin-RR (MC-RR) in fish was investigated under laboratory conditions and in wild fish. Jenynsia multidentata and Corydoras paleatus were exposed for 24h to 50mug/L MC-RR dissolved in water. After exposure, liver, gill, brain, intestine, gall bladder, blood and muscle were analyzed for MC-RR by HPLC and analysis confirmed by LC-ESI-TOF-MS spectrometry. Furth...

In marine fish, high epithelial bicarbonate secretion by the intestine generates luminal carbonate precipitates of divalent cations that play a key role in water and ion homeostasis. In vitro studies highlight the involvement of the calciotropic hormones PTHrP (parathyroid hormone-related protein) and stanniocalcin (STC) in the regulation of epithelial bicarbonate transport. The present study t...
