The prevention of non-indigenous aquatic invasive species spreading into new areas is a goal of many resource managers. New techniques have been developed to survey for species that are difficult to capture with conventional gears that involve the detection of their DNA in water samples (eDNA). This technique is currently used to track the invasion of bigheaded carps (silver carp and bighead ca...

this research aims  to monitor the trace elements content (cr, cu, pb, cd, ag, al, mn, mg, zn and fe) in the tissues of the muscle and liver of silver carp (h. molitrix ) and stone moroko (p. parva) from zarivar wetland in western iran. this research was cross-sectional. the research specimen  was fish caught from zarivar wetland. metal concentration analysis was carried out utilizing an  icp. ...

due to manual feeding of grass carps in aquaculture, digestion problems in this specie are developing. diagnosing and treating these diseases require a good knowledge of anatomy of digestive tract and its appendixes. the goal of this research is getting acquinted with different parts of grass carps’ digestive tract and their relationship. for this purpose, twenty grass carps were used. first th...

Graphene-based materials with a three-dimensional (3D) framework have been investigated for a variety of biomedical applications because of their 3D morphology, excellent physiochemical properties, volume stability, and their controllable degradation rate. Current knowledge on the toxicological implications and bioavailability of graphene foam (GF) has major uncertainties surrounding the fate a...

The varieties of carp we mentioned before are all hybrids. The traits of the offspring of the hybrid carps will be segregated. So new hybrids should be made every year and at least two varieties of parental fish must be conserved in order to obtain the hybrid carps. This can be inconvenient in practice. Jian carp is the first variety of common carp that was produced by artificial breeding in Ch...

Ten years ago, very little was known about the genetics of most of the cyprinid species of interest to aquaculture in Asia, for example the Chinese carps, silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella); Indian major carps, catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus); and the silver barb (Barbo...

While magnetoreception in birds has been studied intensively, the literature on magnetoreception in bony fish, and particularly in non-migratory fish, is quite scarce. We examined alignment of common carps (Cyprinus carpio) at traditional Christmas sale in the Czech Republic. The sample comprised measurements of the directional bearings in 14,537 individual fish, distributed among 80 large circ...

CIRKOVIC, M., N. MILOSEVIC, M. MARKOVIC and A. POTKONJAK, 2010. Brain myxoboliasis of common carp. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 263-265 The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) originating from Serbian fish ponds was examined for presence of Myxobolus encephalicus. The spores of M. encephalicus were present in blood vessels and meningeal layers. Its presence has been noted in 32-days old carp fingerlings...

Cellulose and xylan are the most common Non-Starch Polysaccharides (NSPs); they are available in plants and they exhibit anti-nutritional effects. The present study is intended to detect cellulose and xylan degrading autochthonous gut bacteria in Indian major carps (Labeo rohita, Catla catla, and Cirrhinus mrigala) and exotic carps (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenopharyngodon idella, and Cypr...
