Serbian aquaculture is practiced in warmwater (carp) farms, coldwater (trout) cage systems, recirculating systems (RAS) and fish tanks. The total area under carp farms (ponds) registered by the Statistical Office of Republic Serbia (SORS) last fourteen years has varied between 6,192 8,940 ha, while trout was 33,255 m2 81,411 m2. Total production over 5,070 tons, recorded 2017 8,195 tons market ...

Silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) is a unique triploid bisexual species that can reproduce by gynogenesis. As all other gynogenetic animals, it keeps its chromosome integrity by inhibiting the ®rst meiosis division (no extrusion of the ®rst pole body). To understand the molecular events governing this reproduction mode, suppression subtractive hybridization was used to identify th...

BACKGROUND Although the common, silver, and bighead carps are native and sparsely distributed in Eurasia, these fish have become abundant and invasive in North America. An understanding of the biology of these species may provide insights into sustainable control methods. The animal-associated microbiome plays an important role in host health. Characterization of the carp microbiome and the fac...

Anthropogenic engineered structures alter the local ecological connectivity of river and survival habitat native fishes. The swimming performance is critical for establishing fish passage or habitat. This study evaluated four carps (black carp, grass silver carp bighead carp) with smaller body lengths (1.0–9.0 cm) in a flume. results showed that burst speed (m/s) increased length, relative (cri...

Fish farming is the only type of aquaculture in Serbia. Fish farming is mostly carried out in cyprinid and salmonid (trout) fishponds (over 95% of the total fish produced), with considerably lower ichthyoproduction being practiced in cages and some bodies of open water such as reservoirs and channels. Serbian aquaculture currently includes 12 fish species, 4 of which are allochthonous (non-nati...

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...

24 Tc1-like transposons consist of an inverted repeat sequence flanking a transposase gene 25 that exhibits similarity to the mobile DNA element, Tc1, of the nematode, Caenorhabditis 26 elegans. They are widely distributed within vertebrate genomes including teleost fish; 27 however, few active Tc1-like transposases have been discovered. In this study, 17 Tc1-like 28 transposon sequences were i...
