The whole genome resequencing was used to develop single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers for the yellow catfish (Tachysurus fulvidraco). A total of 46 SNP from 129 individuals were selected 5550676 genotyping which distributed on 26 chromosomes. Of SNPs analyzed, 35 conformed Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. observed and expected heterozygosity these ranged 0.2519 0.771 0.265 0.5018, respecti...

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure the yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco), an important commercial aquaculture species that is widely distributed throughout China's fresh waters, could contribute to scientific management sustainable utilization this species. To characterize across China, 448 individuals from 10 locations North, Central, South China were analyzed using ...

The freshwater bivalve Anodonta woodiana is native to China and widely distributed in Asia, Europe, North America. However, natural populations of A. have dramatically declined recently. Several fish species been used as potential hosts breeding programs; nonetheless, the optimal host yet be identified. In this study, we examined suitability five (bighead carp, common crucian yellow catfish, ti...

To reveal the changes in gut microbiota of yellow catfish after being infected by Edwardsiella ictaluri, 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze microbial composition and diversity healthy diseased catfish. The richness fish were significantly lower than those fish. predicted function drastically altered infection E. ictaluri. Fusobacteriota, Proteobacteria, Firm...

YY super-males have rarely been detected in nature and only been artificially created in some fish species including tilapia and yellow catfish (Pelteobagrusfulvidraco), which provides a promising model for testis development and spermatogenesis. In our previous study, significant differences in morphology and miRNA expression were detected between XY and YY testis of yellow catfish. Here, sole...

Pf62-Y and Pf62-X is a pair of allelic Y chromosome-linked and X chromosome-linked markers, and have been used to identify YY super-males, XY males and XX females for commercial production of all-male populations in yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco). However, the SCAR primers used previously have only two nucleotide difference, which restricts the wide utility because of nucleotide polym...

This study was conducted to determine ichthyofauna of the Büyük Karaçay stream of the River Orontes drainage in Turkey (eastern Mediterranaen basin). As the result of examination of the 911 individuals collected between June 2012 and May 2013, eight fish species belonging to five families have been recorded. Of these, African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), yellow barbel Carasobarb...

Body colours are important and striking features for individual survival and reproductive success, in particular in vertebrates where mating behaviour and mate preference may be strongly influenced by non-normal phenotypes. Pigmentation disorders may be generated by disruption of one or many independent genes as well as by environmental factors. The first discovery of albino yellow catfish (Pel...

The complement components C8α, C8β and C9 have important roles in the innate immune system against invading microorganisms. Partial cDNA sequences of the Pf_C8α, Pf_C8β and Pf_C9 genes (Pf: abbreviation of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) were cloned from yellow catfish. The Pf_C8α, Pf_C8β and Pf_C9 genes showed the greatest amino acid similarity to C8α (54%) and C8β (62%) of zebrafish and to C9 (52%) ...

An 8-week feeding trial was carried out with juvenile yellow catfish to study the effects of dietary available phosphorus (P) on growth performance, body composition, and hepatic antioxidant property. Six pellet diets were formulated to contain graded available P levels at 0.33, 0.56, 0.81, 1.15, 1.31, and 1.57% of dry matter, respectively. Triplicate tanks with each tank containing 60 juvenile...
