The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of natural products like propolis on biochemical and hematologic parameters in carp (Cyprinus carpio, Linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. In this study fish were exposed to 0.01 mg/L arsenic and 10 mg/L propolis for seven days. Our results indicated that triglyceride, urea, total cholesterol, cobalt, ALT (alanine amino transfe...

We analyzed water samples from the confluence of three municipal sewage treatment effluent streams, surface water, and whole carp (Cyprinus carpio) for synthetic musks for a period of 7-12 months. The lipid content of each fish was determined and compared with the concentration of musks in the whole fish tissue. Enhanced methods were used for water sampling and musk extraction. The data present...

Exposure to TEX-OE®, a patented extract of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) containing chaperone-stimulating factor, was shown to protect common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., fingerlings against acute ammonia stress. Survival was enhanced twofold from 50% to 95% after exposure to 5.92 mg L(-1) NH(3) , a level determined in the ammonia challenge bioassay as the 1-h LD50 concentration f...

Electrical stimulation of an epibranchial vagal ganglion, which innervates the gill region, had a marked influence on the respiratory rhythm of the carp Cyprinus carpio. Vagal input could initiate ventilation in fish displaying intermittent respiration. In fish breathing steadily, vagal stimuli could reset the respiratory rhythm by modifying the existing breathing cycle. An increase of stimulus...

The protein nucleolin, functionally involved in the main steps of ribosome biogenesis, is codified by a single copy gene in mammals. Here we report that at least three different genes codify for this protein in carp fish (Cyprinus carpio). This is the first description of the genomic organization of nucleolin in a teleost. The carp nucleolin gene includes 8.8 kb and contains 16 exons. Promoter ...

Potomida semirugata, which belongs to the Unionidae family, require a host fish complete their life cycle. In this study, preference of species was investigated. Besides, mussel and hence attachment state larvae on were also Five different namely Cyprinus carpio, Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias gariepinus, Anguilla anguilla, Carasobarbus luteus used as candidates. five glass aquaria each contain...

Aquaculture offers great potential for fish production in Lake Chapala, but reports of heavy metal contamination have identified a main concern this activity. In the present study, cultures species Cyprinus carpio and Ictalurus punctatus were grown net cage Chapala. The patterns accumulation (Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb, As) muscle liver monitored order to evaluate level incorporation fish. Estimates we...

This study was conducted to evaluate the addition of three levels cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp), 96 common carp Cyprinus carpio L. at a mean weight 5±0.15 g/fish on four experimental diets with replicates per treatment 0% containing 0.75%, 1%, and 1.5% total diet 2, 3 4 respectively. The results statistical analysis showed significant differences in parameters increase, daily growth rate, relative p...

ATANASOVA, R. and L. HADJINIKOLOVA, 2008. Cellular and humoral (non-specific) immunity of carp stocking material (Cyprinus carpio L.) before and after wintering. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci.,14: 251-255 A biochemical characteristic of carp fish stocking material (Cyprinus carpio L.) has been done according to the indices bactericide activity of blood serum (BA); lysozyme activity of blood serum (LA), p...
