acute toxicity test on common carp weighing 18 grams and length 12 cm was performed. with concentrations of 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 ppm measured at 0, 24, 48 and 96 hours were considered for commercial diesel . processing data using spss software and statistical analysis probit analysis was performed with a confidence level of 95%. the common carp no deaths...

BACKGROUND Aquaporins (Aqps) are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. Among vertebrate species, Aqps are highly conserved in both gene structure and amino acid sequence. These proteins are vital for maintaining water homeostasis in living organisms, especially for aquatic animals such as teleost fish. Studies on teleost Aqps ...

BACKGROUND Body color and coloration patterns are important phenotypic traits to maintain survival and reproduction activities. The Oujiang color varieties of common carp (Cyprinus carpio var. color), with a narrow distribution in Zhejiang Province of China and a history of aquaculture for over 1,200 years, consistently exhibit a variety of body color patterns. The molecular mechanism underlyin...

The purpose of the study was to determine the microbiological status of 161 samples cooled and frozen fish products collected from retail markets in the Republic of Bulgaria. The highest total viable counts (TVCs) in cooled fish products were established for silver carp (7.30 log cfu/g), Black sea roach (7.28 log cfu/g) and trout (7.11 log cfu/g), followed by common carp (6.81 log cfu/g), vacuu...

quality grading and nutrition value determination of fish are. nowadays necessary for aquatic processing. the present study was conducted to investigate a new, applied and cheap method of fillet quality grading for common carp (cyprinus carpio) using fish size, based on mathematical equations. for this reason, 61 specimens of cultured market size carp were used and after filleting, their moistu...

Introduction Background Purpose and scope Acknowledgments Data sources and analyses Data sources Data analyses Spatial distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls in common carp and walleye in the Mississippi, Minnesota, and St. Croix Rivers Comparison among individual sites Comparison among river segments Temporal distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls in common carp and walleye in the Missis...

In nature, the caudal fins of fish species are frequently lost to some extent by aggressive behaviour, predation and diseases. To test whether the swimming performance of fish with different swimming capacities would be differentially affected due to caudal fin loss and regeneration, we investigated the critical swimming speed (Ucrit), swimming metabolic rate (M(O2)), tail beat frequency (f(TB)...

Supplementation of pelleted feeds (30% crude protein) consisting of practical ingredients with 250, 375 and 500 mg Cholymbi/kg diet resulted significantly improved the growth of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Highest final average weight was recorded with diet containing 500 mg Cholymbi/kg. Feeding Cholymbi to fish showed increased carcass protein and fat. Gut protease and hepatopancreas amylase...

A method for purification of carp serum immunoglobulin (IgM), intended for the production of monoclonal antibodies, was described in the present study. Hybridomas that produce antibodies against IgM heavy chain were selected by ELISA method and Western blotting. Ascitic fluids were prepared and tested by the above mentioned methods, and their typing followed. Monoclonal antibody with the highes...

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic mechanism of the transparent trait in transparent crucian carp. We observed body color development in transparent crucian carp larvae and analyzed heredity of color in hybrids produced with red crucian carp, ornamental carp, and red purse carp. The results showed that the body color of the newly hatched larvae matured into the adult pattern a...
