Non-native freshwater fish species that have been introduced to the inland waters of Kenya are listed and the consequences of stocking such fish are reviewed. Original species composition and lake ecosystem function can be detrimentally affected but, also, the introduction of non-native species can result in significant economic benefit. In the context of impact on recipient fish communities an...

Potomida semirugata, which belongs to the Unionidae family, require a host fish complete their life cycle. In this study, preference of species was investigated. Besides, mussel and hence attachment state larvae on were also Five different namely Cyprinus carpio, Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias gariepinus, Anguilla anguilla, Carasobarbus luteus used as candidates. five glass aquaria each contain...

Bifenthrin is used as insecticide in agriculture. Present manuscript deals with the poisonous outcome of bifenthrin on histology kidney fish Cyprinus carpio. Freshwater carpio was this experimental study. An aggregate 30 were arbitrarily separated into 3 gatherings A, B and C. Group A kept control while C treated exploratory. All glass aquaria at room temperature. During experiment, group (cont...

In 5 experunents, conlmon carp fry Cyprinus carpio with Dactylogyrus vastator infection of varying severity, as well as parasite-free fry, were placed into an environment of decreasing oxygen content. The correlation between the time of death and helminth infestation of the gills was studied. The experiments demonstrated that in a medium of decreased oxygen content the carp with the heaviest he...

Two koi (Cyprinus carpio) from the same pond developed similar lesions of scoliosis. Radiographic examinations showed that their spines had become malaligned as a result of vertebral compression fractures involving T14 to T16. The vertebrae in both fish were stabilised with screws, k-wire and polymethylmethacrylate. They both appeared to improve after surgery, but they began to decline and died...
