From Illumina sequencing of DNA from brain and liver tissue from the lion, Panthera leo, and tumor samples from the pike-perch, Sander lucioperca, we obtained two assembled sequence contigs with similarity to known retroviruses. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the pike-perch retrovirus belongs to the epsilonretroviruses, and the lion retrovirus to the gammaretroviruses. To determine if these...

The genetic consequences and gene flow of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) stocking were assessed in three boreal lakes based on admixture model analysis and comparison of the pre- and post-release patterns of genetic variability at 9 DNA microsatellite loci in the recipient populations. In two out of the three cases, the releases of fish from foreign populations caused significant changes in the ...

The main objectives of study were to determine the concentrations of As and other trace elements (Al, Co, Fe, Ni, Sn, Se) in the muscle, liver, and gills of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca), catfish (Silurus glanis), and pike (Esox lucius), and in the muscle of Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) and freshwater bream (Abramis brama), to identify relationships between element concentrations and total...

Effects of feeding dietary defatted black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) larvae meal (HI) on intestine microbiota, and histomorphology, oxidative enzyme activities in liver pikeperch Sander lucioperca were investigated. Four isoproteic (45% crude protein) isolipidic (18% ether extract) diets formulated to include 0% (CO), 9% (HI9), 18% (HI18) 36% (HI36) HI as replacement for fishmeal at 0, 2...

Some parasites can be transferred from fish to human via eating of contaminated meat and make serious problems in consumers. In the present study zoonotic parasites of abdominal cavity in pike-perch, Sander lucioperca, in south eastern part of the Caspian Sea have been surveyed. In this regard, 30 fish were caught by purse seine net and abdominal cavity, digestive tract and other organs (kidney...
