چکیده
We investigated the effects of Cu2+-loaded silicate (CLS) on the growth performance, microflora of skin, gill and intestine, and intestinal morphology of crucian carp Carassius auratus. A total of 225 native wild crucian carp, with an average initial body weight of 20 g, were randomly divided into 5 treatment groups using 3 replicate tanks of 15 fish per group. The dietary treatments were (1) basal diet, (2) basal diet + CuSO4, (3) basal diet + silicate, (4) basal diet + 0.5% CLS and (5) basal diet + 50 mg kg(-1) chlortetracycline (CTC, purity 98.8%). The trial lasted for 60 d. We found that body weight increased slightly while feed conversion ratio decreased in the CLS-treated group compared with the control groups. The total number of aerobic bacteria counted in the intestine of carp fed the diet supplemented with the CLS (i.e. Vibrio sp. and E. coli), was significantly lower (p = 0.05) compared with the control groups and the CTC-treated fish, while lactobacillus counts were significantly higher (p = 0.05). Lactobacilli counts of the intestine increased significantly (p = 0.05). However, the microflora of the skin and gill was not affected by the addition of CuSO4, silicate, CLS or CTC. The height of the villi in the proximal, mid and distal intestine mucosa of the silicate- and CLS-treated groups was found to be longer (p = 0.05) compared with the villi of the control or the CTC-treated fish. Supplementation with CuSO4 had no effect on the microflora and the intestinal morphology (p = 0.05). These results indicate that CLS had an antibacterial activity in vivo, which may help protect the intestinal mucosa from invasion of pathogenic bacteria and their toxins.

In the present study, age, growth and reproduction of Carassius auratus were investigated in the Alma-Gol and Ala-Gol (northern Iran) from September 2000 to August 2002. Among the total of 1450 specimens, the estimated ages ranged from 0+ to 8+ years. C. auratus showed an allometric growth, negatively in Alma-Gol and positively in Ala-Gol. The von Bertalanffy growth curves were fitted to mean t...

The silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio), a gynogenetic teleost, is a promising model for the study of evolutionary genetics in vertebrates. We identified ten gynogenetic clones (FZ-I~FZ-X) from triploid silver crucian carp, collected from Fangzheng County in Heilongjiang Province, China, using microsatellite markers. The genetic diversity of these gynogenetic clones was analyzed usi...
