abstractthe purpose of this study was to compare the heavy metal uptake of cd in liver tissue of endemic fish aphanius sophiae in the saltwater eshtehard of karaj and fresh water in laboratory conditions, the relationship between cadmium accumulation in the liver, the effect of salinity and different concentrations of cd uptake. sampling did randomly from salt river in the spring and summer 201...

Vibrio anguillarum was isolated from several organs of some aquarium catfish in a fish population with high mortality. Macroscopic examination of the affected catfish revealed ascites in the abdomen, site-petechiae, and dorsal erection. Although there are some variations in phenotypic characterization among different isolates of Vibrio anguillarum, the majority show a common biochemical profile...

Genotypes of Candida spp. isolated from exhalation of 20 dolphins, 11 water samples from captive pools, and 24 oral cavities of staff members in an aquarium using a combination of multiple drug resistance 1 gene (MDR1) and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 5.8s-ITS 2 regions of ribosomal RNA gene (ITS rDNA) sequences were studied. The holding ratios of the dolphins, captive pools, and sta...

Dendromonocotyle lotteri sp. n. is described from the dorsal skin surface of the stingray Himantura gerrardi (Gray) on exhibit in the public aquarium at the Atlantis resort in Dubai. It is differentiated from all other Dendromonocotyle species by the unique morphology of the distal portion of the sclerotised male copulatory organ. Dendromonocotyle lotteri is the second representative in the gen...

Trade of ornamental aquatic species is a multi-billion dollar industry responsible for the introduction of myriad fishes into novel ecosystems. Although aquarium invaders have the potential to alter ecosystem function, regulation of the trade is minimal and little is known about the ecosystem-level consequences of invasion for all but a small number of aquarium species. Here, we demonstrate how...

We developed a new biosensor device for environmental gas/liquid toxicity sensing, which utilizes the chemotaxis of microbial cells confined in a micro-aquarium. The device has an isolated micro-aquarium to confine microbial cells separately from flowing gas/liquid in two bypass microchannels, and the molecules of the flowing gas/liquid permeate from the microchannels into the micro-aquarium th...
