This study addresses the growing concern over quality and shelf life of farmed fish products in market due to increasing demand international market. Various preservation methods are necessary ensure food safety extend products. Freezing chilling still considered most reliable for preserving fish. The reviews techniques extending frozen fish, with a focus on common species Results suggest that ...

The caryophyllidean tapeworm Atractolytocestus huronensis, which was first detected in Hungary in the intestine of pondfarmed common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in 2001, has rapidly spread throughout the country and is now present in the common carp stock of several fish farms. This parasite has also been detected in market-size common carp imported from the Czech Republic. The cestode can infect yo...

BACKGROUND The caspase-associated recruitment domain-containing protein (CARP) is expressed in almost all tissues. Recently, the tumor-suppressive function of CARP was discovered and attracted increasing attention. This study aimed to investigate the role of CARP in the carcinogenesis of human gastric carcinoma. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Compared with normal gastric tissue, the downregul...

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic mechanism of the transparent trait in transparent crucian carp. We observed body color development in transparent crucian carp larvae and analyzed heredity of color in hybrids produced with red crucian carp, ornamental carp, and red purse carp. The results showed that the body color of the newly hatched larvae matured into the adult pattern a...

BACKGROUND Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been used as genetic marker for genome-wide association studies in many species. Gene-associated SNPs could offer sufficient coverage in trait related research and further more could themselves be causative SNPs for traits. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the most important aquaculture species in the world accounting for nearly 14% ...

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...

The bacterial infection is an important economic and limiting factor in intensive fish production. The present study focuses on investigation of the bacterial population associated with farmed common carp fingerlings, its environment and limnological quality of pond, during winter and summer season. It was found that the bacterial count in the pond sediment (6.40 cfu x 10(4)) was about 10 times...
