This paper highlights the present status and genetic improvement strategies for endemic and exotic carp species of Bangladesh, including future plans. In this country, both major and minor endemic and exotic (introduced) carps are the key species for aquaculture, particularly for polyculture. There are at least 13 endemic species of carps: among them 4 major carps (catla, rohu, mrigal and calba...

CARP-CG is a conjugate gradient (CG) acceleration of CARP, which was introduced by Gordon and Gordon as a robust block-parallel scheme for sparse linear systems. CARP performs Kaczmarz (KACZ) row projections within the blocks, and the results from the separate blocks are merged by averaging, for each component, its updated values from the different blocks. The averaging operations are equivalen...

The common carp is one of the most important cultivated species in the world of freshwater aquaculture. The cultivation of this species is particularly productive due to its high skeletal muscle mass; however, the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle development in the common carp remain unknown. It has been shown that a class of non-coding ∼22 nucleotide RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs) play ...

CARP, a cardiac doxorubicin (adriamycin)-responsive protein, has been identified as a nuclear protein whose expression is downregulated in response to doxorubicin. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that CARP serves as a reliable genetic marker of cardiac hypertrophy in vivo and in vitro. CARP expression was markedly increased in 3 distinct models of cardiac hypertrophy in rats: con...

Farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from Maine and eastern Canada, wild Alaskan Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and organically farmed Norwegian salmon samples were analyzed for the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxin-like PCBs, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzo-p-furans (PCDFs), and chlorinated pesticides. PCDD and PCDF congeners were not detected ...

Infections of common carp Cyprinus carpio and koi, its coloured morphotypes, with the cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) can induce severe clinical signs and increased mortality in affected stocks. This may significantly challenge the economic basis of carp farming in Central Europe. To limit virus spread in carp farms, effective disinfection measures for ponds stocked with infected populations ar...

The Most of the protected resources are based on difficult math issues. How to use hard Artificial Intelligence issues for protection is growing as an exciting new paradigm, but has been under-explored. We apply a new protection resource are based on hard personal Artificial Intelligence issues. CARP also provides a new technique to address the famous image hotspot issue in popular graphical pa...

The crucian carp (Carassius carassius L.) exhibits the unique ability among vertebrates to maintain cardiac performance at normoxic levels during prolonged anoxia exposure. This thesis investigates the hypothesis that this phenomenon is possible because the heart likely never experiences an extracellular pH below 7.4 due to the fish’s exclusive trait of converting lactate and H ions to ethanol....

We studied whether two IGF2 transcripts in common carp are similar to those found in zebrafish. The full-length IGF2a cDNA contains a 5'-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 105 bp, a 3'-terminal UTR of 1358 bp and an open reading frame of 612 bp, which encodes a 206-amino acid protein. A 6614-bp full-length IGF2a DNA molecule, including the 5'-flanking region, was isolated. Genomic DNA ...
