The objective of this project is to compare growth and survival rate in Chinese carps reared under traditional culture conditions versus those reared in ponds treated with slurry (anaerobic fermented of cow manure). This experiment was conducted using two treatments one treatment using slurry and the other using cow manure plus chemical fertilizer as the control with three replicates for each....

The cDNAs encoding glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were cloned and sequenced from the liver of three Chinese carps with different tolerance to hepatotoxic microcystins, phytoplanktivorous silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), and herbivorous grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus). Using genome walker method, a 750 bp 5'-flanking region of the silver carp...

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...

This paper highlights the present status and genetic improvement strategies for endemic and exotic carp species of Bangladesh, including future plans. In this country, both major and minor endemic and exotic (introduced) carps are the key species for aquaculture, particularly for polyculture. There are at least 13 endemic species of carps: among them 4 major carps (catla, rohu, mrigal and calba...

Modulation of Charge Trapping In article number 2208688, Xiaoguang Duan, Xi-Lin Wu, and co-workers show here the Chinese legend “Carp jumps over dragon gate”. The story is about a brave carp swimming upstream, jumping ‘dragon gate’, turning into powerful dragon. Their cover design based on this legend, where carriers one electron from g-C3N4 at bottom waterfall to single-atom Co catalyst under ...

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an important aquaculture fish worldwide but only limited single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are characterized from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in this species. In this study, 1487 putative SNPs were bioinformatically mined from 14,066 online ESTs mainly from the European common carp, with the occurrence rate of about one SNP every 173 bp. One hu...

Although carp is still widely sold and used in its fresh form, a range of value additions may also be observed. It is essential to know the development and management of a carp farm production costs and their evolution. In Iran, warm-water fish farming is based on common, silver, grass, and bighead carps. The carp is easy to rise in hatcheries in very large numbers at little cost, and is distri...

In Iran, carp is widely sold and used in its fresh, although a range of added value products may also be observed. The common carp and the three Chinese species are often reared in polyculture ponds. Since, the 1970S carp farming has spread along the Caspian Sea coasts, followed by other provinces, and farmed production reached a peak in 2004 with production of more than 60,000 tonnes. Rapid ex...

A study was conducted to investigate the existing system of fry trade and different problems and prospects associated with this enterprise in Jessore district. A total of 82 hatchery operators and nursery owners were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. In the study period 4211.5 kg hatchling were produced in 85 hatcheries in this area of which 80% were reared in the same area. Average...
