Characterization of the transcriptomic response to infection is an effective approach to understanding the immune mechanisms. Herein we challenged grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) with grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and sequenced four cDNA libraries obtained from head-kidney and spleen by using Illumina Miseq. As a result, we gained a total of 21.52 Gb clean data with 107.96 million reads, and ...

The data presented in this paper are related to the research article entitled "Transcriptome profiling of developing spleen tissue and discovery of immune-related genes in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)" (Li et al. 2016) [1]. Please refer to this article for interpretation of the data. Data provided in this submission are comprised of the expression levels of unigenes, significantly diffe...

The state of knowledge of grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.) effects on water bodies are summarized based on a review of selected literature and my own experience from South Bohemian ponds. The subjects considered include aquatic plant control using grass carp, fish age and stocking densities, and direct and indirect consequences of its introduction to water bodies including impacts on ...

the studies of parasitology was performed on freshwater in farm ponds in isfahan province during the years of 2006- 2008 and in total were fished 150 fish from farm ponds of freshwater fish and dual purpose of agriculture of three regions in isfahan. the fish were 65 cyprinus carpio, 40 hypophthalmichthys molitrix and 45 ctenopharyngodon idella. the samples were taken to laboratory alive and af...

An imminent threat to indigenous freshwater ichthyofauna is the introduction of alien fishes that can alter behavior, population dynamics and native community structure. Thus, it necessary understand their feeding behaviour avoid any unwanted incalculable loss. At sampling site, Head Baloki habits both (L. calbasu, C. catla, L. rohita mrigala) (H. nobilis, H. molitrix, carpio, idella, auratus, ...

Labeo rohita, Gibelion catla, Cirrhinus mrigala, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix were grown together for 365 days in triplicate ponds. Six iso-caloric feeds having varying protein levels i.e. 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32% were prepared and supplemented to fish at 2% fish weight daily. Significantly, higher final average weight (793 ± 197 g) and total length gain (398 ± 40 m...

Motile aeromonads isolated from the intestines of farm-raised freshwater fish such as Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Ctenopharyngodon idella have been characterized to species level. Morphological and physiological grouping revealed 61% Aeromonas hydrophila, 30% Aeromonas caviae, 7% Aeromonas sobria and 2% which remained unidentified. Hemolytic activity was detected mostly in A. hydrophila, whil...

The acute toxicity of Nuvan to the grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella was determined using static and continuous flow through system for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hr. The median lethal concentration (LC50) values were 13.1, 10.9, 9.8 and 6.5 mg l(-1) respectively in static system and 10.7, 9.5, 8.0 and 7.5 mg l(-1) respectively in continuous flow through system. A reduction in oxygen consumption is obs...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a neuropeptide hormone responsible for the release of luteinizing hormone (Lh) and follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) from the anterior pituitary gland . GnRH have been identified and characterized from the brain of C. catla. A cDNA fragment of 202bp was amplified and GnRH variant has been identified in the form chicken-II-type gonadotropin-releasing hor...
