Thelohanellus nikolskii infection of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) has been a common parasitosis in the Central European fish farms since the first detection of the parasite about 20 years ago. This parasite, introduced from the Far East, causes intensive infection on the fins of fingerlings of the carp subspecies cultured in Europe (European carp, Cyprinus carpio carpio). This infection...

The common carp is one of the most important cultivated species in the world of freshwater aquaculture. The cultivation of this species is particularly productive due to its high skeletal muscle mass; however, the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle development in the common carp remain unknown. It has been shown that a class of non-coding ∼22 nucleotide RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs) play ...

in the present study, we reported infection with eighteen species of the genus dactylogyrus, belong to thefamily dactylogyridae from five breeder fish species, including common carp (cyprinus carpio), grass carp(ctenopharyngodon idella), silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix), big head carp (hypophthalmichthysnobilis) and black carp (myelopharyngodon piceus) which introduced and imported to ...

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the family Cyprinidae. In nature, carp live in the middle or lower reaches of a river with slow currents, or in marshes. Their habitats are usually weedy areas with a muddy bottom. Carp fry feed on zooplankton such as rotifers and copepods, but as they grow up they become benthic feeders, feeding on animals and other organic material. The cyprinids h...

Distribution ! e common carp [Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus (1758)] has been one of the oldest domesticated species of fi sh for food. Culture of carp in China dates back to at least the 5th century BC, although domestication began much later. ! e European races of carp derived from wild carp of the Danube; the earliest attempts date back to the Roman Empire and spread of Christianity in Europe, fro...

Some biochemical characteristics of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and silver carp (Hypophtalmichthys moltrix) surimi prepared by a conventional washing method and protein isolated using alkaline-acid-aided processes were investigated. Solubility of protein in silver carp and common carp were found to be highest by using the conventional washing method. Decreases in myoglobin and lipid contents ...

background: evaluation on the toxicity of two mainly contaminant heavy metals, cadmium (cd) and lead (pb) through the food chain was the aim of this study. methods: a total number of 270 healthy common carp (4±1.14 g) in april, 2015 transported to the khatam alanbia university of technology, behbahan, iran. fishes were divided into three groups and transferred to the 20 l aquaria each containin...

in this study, five carp pituitary glands were collected and dispersed enzymatically and mechanically.then, the cells were cultivated as monolayer in mem (minimum essential medium eagle). the culture mediawere collected after 72 h and frozen at -20°c. carp ovarian follicles also were separated mechanically andincubated in bss (basic salt solution) cortland medium in 24-well microplates for 48 h...

a 6 week study was conducted to assess the effects of wood betony (wb), stachys lavandulifolia extract on growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameters of common carp, cyprinus carpio. different levels of the wb extract (0, 2, 4 and 8 % weight per weight, w/w, 0wb, 2wb, 4wb and 8wb) in the diet were used. the results showed that final weight and weight gain were significantly imp...
