Determining the Lethal Concentration of Formalin to Koi fish (Cyprinus carpio)
Authors
Abstract:
Formalin is a chemical disinfectant for surface and premises beside its effect on several infective pathogens in ornamental and food fishes. Determination of formalin concentration for precious fish is critical. This problem is so important because of the aquarium fish varieties. In this study, OECD standard method was used for Koi fish formalin LC50 assessment. After a series of basic experiments, seven logarithmic concentrations plus a control group in three repeats were determined. Mortality were recorded per day and by using “Probit analysis”, LC10, LC50 and LC90 were calculated after 96 hrs, e.g.,148.93, 172.81 and 200.52 mg.L-1 respectively. MAC, MIC and NOEC were estimated 17.28, 148.39 and 17.28 mg.L-1 in turn for Koi.

Determining the lethal concentration of formalin to zebra fish (Danio rerio)
Formalin is an effective solution for surface and equipment disinfection and also for several aquaculture industry challenge. Since various aquatics have different sensitivity to this substance, determination of a precise concentration for cultured fish is important. Because of diversity in aquarium fish species, this topic more highlights. In this study, the method of The Organisation for Econ...

Mass mortality occurred in 2-year-old koi (fancy carp)Cyprinus carpio in Taiwan in 2002. Affected fish did not show any external signs except swollen gills. The consistent histological changes were observed in the gills; hyperplasia of epithelial cells, infiltration of eosinophilic granular cells and fusion of the secondary lamellae. Nega tively stained nucleocapsids were icosahedral and 112±1 ...

Koi herpesvirus (KHV), also known as Cyprinid herpes virus 3 (Cyprinid 3) is lethal disease in common carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio). Two different groups (KK and RK) were infected KHV by intraperitoneal injection. Fish for gene expression analysis were sampled at 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post infection (p.i). The results showed that two immune related gene, Interferons (INFs) ɑβ and Inte...

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...
full textKinematics, hydrodynamics and energetic advantages of burst-and-coast swimming of koi carps (Cyprinus carpio koi).
Koi carps frequently swim in burst-and-coast style, which consists of a burst phase and a coast phase. We quantify the swimming kinematics and the flow patterns generated by the carps in burst-and-coast swimming. In the burst phase, the carps burst in two modes: in the first, the tail beats for at least one cycle (multiple tail-beat mode); in the second, the tail beats for only a half-cycle (ha...

Fish, like mammals, can be affected by neoplastic proliferations. As yet, there are only a very small number of studies reporting on the occurrence of tumours in koi carp Cyprinus carpio koi and only sporadic reports on the nature of the tumours or on risk factors associated with their development. Between 2008 and 2012, koi with abdominal swelling were examined pathologically: neoplastic lesio...
