Background: Copper is a trace element vital to life, but the toxic effect of water pollution with it on fish is now exhibited. Fish blood is susceptible to contaminationinduced stress and its alternation due to the hematological and immunological parameters can be utilized as toxicity indices of xenobiotics. Methods: In this study, juvenile species of silver carp with average weight of 200gr we...

Bigheaded carps (bighead carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, and silver nobilis) their hybrids play an important ecological economic role in original habitat, while introduced stocks may pose serious risks. To address questions about the persistence invasiveness of these fish, we need to better understand population structures. The genetic structures bigheaded carp populations inhabiting Lake Ba...

The influence of frying with four different oils (sunflower oil, soybean oil, olive oil, and corn oil) on the fatty acid composition of silver carp was evaluated. The fat content of the fillets increased after frying while the moisture content decreased in all evaluated samples. Mean saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids, ∑ω3, and ∑ω6 contents of raw fish w...
