A transient increase in the level of free cytosolic Ca2+ is observed upon fertilization of the eggs of many species and is thought to represent a key event in the initiation of development. To identify components in the egg which could be involved in mediating such Ca2+ signals we searched for Ca(2+)-binding proteins in eggs of the fresh-water fish Misgurnus fossilis (loach). We show that loach...

Natural occurrence of hexaploid loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus detected in central China is reported here for the first time. The evidences from karyotyping, DNA content analysis and nuclear volume measurements were described to confirm the hexaploid nature of the identified individual.

In this study, we measured the morphometric and histological changes in the cyprinid loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, during the early period of growth. Eyes, yolk length, yolk height, and yolk volume of the larva decreased for 16 days post hatching (DPH) (P<0.05). During 60 DPH (P>0.05), the most anterior extension of the head × the posterior end of the supraoccipital, the most anterior exte...

Length weight relationships (LWRs) are presented for six loach species belonging to two families of Gastromyzontidae and Nemacheilidae captured in the Baleh River Basin, Sarawak, Malaysia. One time sampling was conducted at each station representing first- fourth-order tributaries Basin from April 2014 November 2015. Loach samples were collected via electrofishing method measured total length n...

The visual cell of the retina in the Korean loach Kichulchoia multifasciata, a bottom-dwelling freshwater loach in shallow water, contains double cones and large rods. With light microscopy, the cones form a row mosaic pattern in which the partners of double cones are linearly oriented with a large rod. In a double cone or twin cone, the two members are unequal such that one cone may be longer ...

the osteological characteristics is an important tool for clarification of the phylogenetic statue of the family nemechelidae. since any information is available about osteological features of the genus turcinoemacheilus , hence the present study provides a detailed osteological characteristics of the turcinoemacheilus hafezi as representative of this genus. ten specimens of t. hafezi were coll...

A disease outbreak occurred in June 2012 among mud loach cultured on pond farms in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea. Mortality rates reached up to 1.2% in the farm per day. Typical clinical signs were bleeding ulcer at the middle portion of head and haemorrhagic erosion of the operculum. Based on biochemical characteristics, the causative bacterium isolated from diseased fish was identified a...

this study provides new data on chromosomal characteristics and dna barcoding of three endemic loaches of iran: spiny southern loach cobitis linea (heckel, 1847), persian stream loach oxynoemacheilus persa (heckel, 1848) and tongiorgi stream loach oxynoemacheilus tongiorgii (nalbant &amp; bianco, 1998). the chromosomes of these fishes were investigated by examining metaphase chromosome spreads ...
