We examined 11 Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch), from the upper Yellow River running through Inner Mongolia (Wuhai City) to record myxosporean species. Between 6 and 15 elongated cysts of Henneguya doneci were located at the basal part of the gill filaments of 3 carp (27.3%); no more myxosporean plasmodia were found in other organs. Although the morphology and morphometric values of the...

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the susceptibility body deformities in juveniles 13 common European cypriniform fish, caused by intensive feeding with same commercial dry diet administered at 25°C according a similar schedule. final share individuals malformations differed considerably among species and 0.0-87.0%. Unaffected were only Barbus barbus (L.), Chondrostoma nasus Cyprinu...

The characteristics of the size-mass, sex and age composition Yakut crucian carp in Lake Churapcha 2020 2021 are given. Comparison some biological with literature previous years showed a difference. results can be used to monitor condition lake Churapcha.

Especially in aquatic habitats, hypoxia can be an important evolutionary driving force resulting in both convergent and divergent physiological strategies for hypoxic survival. Examining adaptations to anoxic/hypoxic survival in hypoxia-tolerant animals may offer fresh ideas for the treatment of hypoxia-related diseases. Here, we summarise our present knowledge of two fishes that have evolved t...

Metallothionein (MT), a metal-binding protein induced primarily by heavy metals in vertebrates, is considered a biomarker for environmental heavy-metal contamination. To investigate heavy metal pollution in the freshwater environment, MT-I and MT-II were purified from livers of crucian carp (Carassius carassius) by gel exclusion chromatography and ion exchange chromatography. To detect the puri...

Nitrite (NO(2)(-)) functions as an important nitric oxide (NO) donor under hypoxic conditions. Both nitrite and NO have been found to protect the mammalian heart and other tissues against ischemia (anoxia)-reoxygenation injury by interacting with mitochondrial electron transport complexes and limiting the generation of reactive oxygen species upon reoxygenation. The crucian carp naturally survi...
