| structure, composition, mechanics and growth of spines of the dorsal fin of blue tilapia oreochromis aureus and common carp cyprinus carpio. | the structural, compositional and mechanical properties of the spines of the dorsal fin in mature anosteocytic blue tilapia oreochromis aureus and osteocytic common carp cyprinus carpio are described, as well as their temporal growth pattern and regenerative capacities. the three-dimensional architecture of both spines, from macro to sub-micron levels, is shown to be axially oriented and therefore highly anisotropic and the spines of both species are able to regenerate after partial amputation. | 2017 | 28295281 |
| chilled and post-thaw storage of sperm in different goldfish types. | the effective storage time of sperm after stripping (for 48 hr in 6-hr intervals) and after thawing (for 6 hr in 2-hr intervals) in black moor, oranda and calico goldfish types was investigated. variations in sperm density were also measured in all lines. the efficiency of a sperm cryopreservation method formerly developed for common carp was recorded in all three goldfish lines. motility parameters ((pmot, %), curvilinear velocity (vcl, μm/s) and straightness (str, %)) of black moor sperm did n ... | 2017 | 28295662 |
| isolation of infectious microalga prototheca wickerhamii from a carp (cyprinus carpio) - a first confirmed case report of protothecosis in a fish. | protothecosis is a rare infection caused by environmentally ubiquitous achlorophyllic microalgae of the genus prototheca. here, we describe a first case of protothecosis in a carp (cyprinus carpio), which is at the same time the first case of protothecosis in a fish, confirmed by phenotype- and molecular-based methods, including pcr sequencing of the rdna cluster and protein profiling using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. | 2017 | 28300290 |
| pharmacokinetics of a novel anagrelide extended-release formulation in healthy subjects: food intake and comparison with a reference product. | anagrelide is an established therapy for essential thrombocythemia. common adverse effects have been linked to peak plasma concentrations of anagrelide and its 3oh metabolite. our study was performed to investigate the pharmacokinetics (pk) of a novel anagrelide extended-release (aer) formulation and its active metabolites. thirty healthy volunteers were randomized to receive either 2 mg aer (under fasting and fed conditions) or 2 mg commercially available reference product (carp) in an open-lab ... | 2017 | 28301098 |
| encountering a bait is necessary but insufficient to explain individual variability in vulnerability to angling in two freshwater benthivorous fish in the wild. | fish personality traits, such as swimming activity, or personality related emergent behavioural properties, such as the degree of space use shown by an individual fish, should affect encounter rates between individual fish and fishing gear. increased encounters should in turn drive vulnerability to capture by passively operated gears. however, empirical evidence documenting a relationship between activity-based behaviours and vulnerability to capture by passive fishing gear in the wild is limite ... | 2017 | 28301558 |
| analysis of common carp cyprinus carpio sperm motility and lipid composition using different in vitro temperatures. | in fish, sperm quality is frequently associated with sperm motility variables. the response of sperm motility to different temperatures varies among species and plasma membrane lipid composition may contribute to variations in findings in previous research. in the present study, sperm motility and lipid composition were analysed between motile or immotile carp cyprinus carpio sperm at different in vitro temperatures (4, 14 and 24°c). the duration of the period over which sperm motility is sustai ... | 2017 | 28302333 |
| the temporal pattern of interphase prolongation and nuclear activities during early embryogenesis in teleostei. | temporal relationship between the beginning of the increase of interphase duration, rna synthesis in the nuclei and morphogenetic function of nuclei have been studied using dimensionless criteria of development duration. experiments were performed in the trout (salmo trutta m.fario andsalmo irideus), the whitefish (coregonus lavaretus), the pike (esox lucius) and the carp (cyprinus caprio). in all these species interphase begins to lengthen approximately at the same developmental stages. the ons ... | 1970 | 28304550 |
| vegetalising factor extracted from the fish swimbladder and tested on presumptive ectoderm oftriturus embryos. | vegetalising factor was isolated from swimbladder of crusian carp (carassius auratus) by solubilishing with 8 m urea the precipitate obtained after digesting the swimbladder with collagenase. the urea-soluble fraction vegetalised isolated presumptive ectoderm oftriturus gastrula and produced both undifferentiated mesodermal and endodermal cells. brief heating of the fraction changed its capacity to produce organised mesodermal tissues, such as notochord and somite, and the frequency of induction ... | 1977 | 28304885 |
| expression of carp-cdx1, a caudal homolog, in embryos of the carp, cyprinus carpio. | a carp caudal cdna of 1.3 kb was cloned after screening an early segmentation stage cdna library with a probe produced by pcr using conserved homeobox sequences as primers and genomic dna as template. the homeobox gene was called carp-cdxl. the gene appears highly similar to other vertebrate caudal homologs, especially the zebrafish gene cdx(zf-cad). the possible relationship to homeobox genes within the hox-c gene complexes is discussed. a weak expression of the gene, detected by in situ hybrid ... | 1995 | 28305738 |
| mesoderm differentiation in explants of carp embryos. | an analysis of carp blastoderm development was carried out in culture after isolation from the yolk cell and its yolk syncytial layer (ysl). the blastoderms were separated from the ysl at four different stages of embryogenesis: the blastula, early epiboly, early gastrula and late gastrula stages. absence of the ysl in explants was checked by scanning electron microscopy. from observations of living embryos and histological examination of tissues which were formed in explants from all stages stud ... | 1994 | 28305802 |

| involvement of fibronectin during epiboly and gastrulation in embryos of the common carp, cyprinus carpio. | the present report firstly describes a pilot study in which, during early development of embryos of the common carp, cyprinus carpio, the cellular adhesion to fibronectin (fn) was blocked by administration of grgds peptide (which binds to the fn-receptor). as this treatment resulted in developmental aberrations, suggesting a functional role for fn, the major part of the work was focussed on the distribution of reactivity of anti-fn antibodies during epiboly and gastrulation. grgds treatment had ... | 1993 | 28305992 |
| differential susceptibility of early steps in carp (cyrinus carpio) development to α-amanitin. | carp embryos were dechorionated and their early development was studied in the presence or absence of a-amanitin. cleavage and the formation of the enveloping layer and yolk syncytial layer were not influenced by the drug. however, a-amanitin largely blocked epiboly which started 6 h after fertilization in controls. involution of deep cells, taking place during gastrulation movements, appeared to be blocked to a lesser degree. this might reflect differences in the degree to which maternal transc ... | 1992 | 28306004 |
| isolation of carp cdna clones, representing developmentally-regulated genes, using a subtractive-hybridization strategy. | a subtractive-hybridization technique, combined with differential screenings and subsequent whole mount in situ hybridization (ish) reactions, was used to isolate novel cdna clones representing developmentally-regulated genes of carp. small-scale differential screenings of an oocyte and a segmentation-stage cdna library using oocyte-specific and segmentation stage-specific enriched probes, yielded 75 positive clones. ish screening showed that 65% (15) of the oocyte-stage clones and 50% (26) of t ... | 1996 | 28306098 |
| benefits of a predtor-induced morphology in crucian carp. | crucian carp (carassius carassius) develop a deeper body in response to chemical cues from piscivores. this change in body morphology has been suggested to be a predator-induced defence. here we investigate the possible benefits of the induced body morphology in laboratory experiments. pike foraging behaviour when feeding on crucian carp of different body depths was recorded using video. further, in a preference experiment pike were allowed to choose between shallow-bodied and deep-bodied crucia ... | 1995 | 28307584 |
| energetic consequences of an inducible morphological defence in crucian carp. | crucian carp (carassius carassius) increases in body depth in response to chemical cues from piscivores and the deeper body constitutes a morphological defence against gape-limited piscivores. in the field, deep-bodied individuals suffer a density-dependent cost when competing with shallow-bodied conspecifics. here, we use hydrodynamic theory and swimming respirometry to investigate the proposed mechanism underlying this effect, high drag caused by the deep-bodied morphology. our study confirms ... | 1999 | 28307880 |
| context-dependent effects of bluegill in experimental mesocosm communities. | most knowledge of direct and indirect effects of zooplanktivorous fish has come from studies in which a treatment with a zooplanktivore is compared to a fishless control. however, effects of a zooplanktivore may be different in the presence of other fish species because the other fish have direct and indirect effects that may alter the effects of the zooplanktivore in question. to test this hypothesis, we conducted a tank mesocosm experiment of 2×2 factorial design in which the presence and abse ... | 2000 | 28308293 |
| metabolic fractionation of stable carbon isotopes: implications of different proximate compositions for studies of the aquatic food webs using δ(13)c data. | in two laboratory experiments using tilapia (oreochromis niloticus) and common carp (cyprinus carpio), we investigated the effect of lipid content in the fish carcass on the stable carbon isotope ratio (δ(13)c). in both experiments, a significant negative correlation was found between lipid content in the carcass dry matter and δ(13)c of total dry matter, but there was no influence on the δ(13)c of fat-free dry matter or lipids. as the lipid content of fish is known to vary with reproductive sta ... | 1998 | 28308424 |
| [different nacl-dependence of the circadian co2-gas-exchange of some halophil growing coastal plants]. | co2-exchange, diurnal changes in malate- and ion concentrations of the halophytes carpobrotus edulis, crithmum maritimum, mesembryanthemum nodiflorum, salicornia fruticosa, suaeda maritima, and trifolium fragiferum were investigated after culture at different nacl concentrations. in carp. edulis and mes. nodiflorum the diurnal rhythm of co2-exchange is in accordance with that of crassulacean acid metabolism (cam), in sal. fruticosa, crithm. maritimum, suaeda maritima, and trif. fragiferum with t ... | 1974 | 28308642 |
| proximate biochemical composition and caloric content calculated from elemental chn analysis: a stoichiometric concept. | carbohydrate, lipid, and protein compositions are stoichiometrically related to organic chn (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen) contents. elemental chn analyses of total biomass and ash, therefore, provide a basis for the calculation of proximate biochemical composition and bomb caloric value. the classical nitrogen to protein conversion factor (6.25) should be replaced by 5.8±0.13. a linear relation exists between the mass fraction of non-protein carbon and the carbohydrate and lipid content. residual ... | 1984 | 28310880 |
| microhabitat use in a mediterranean riverine fish assemblage : fishes of the lower matarraña. | over a 22 month period barbus graellsii, chondrostoma toxostoma, cyprinus carpio, esox lucius, gobio gobio, and leuciscus cephalus displayed non-random microhabitat use in the rio mattarraña, spain and generally were overrepresented in deep microhabitats with low or undetectable flow velocities. substrate composition did not strongly affect microhabitat use outside of its covariation with depth and velocity. most seasonal differences in microhabitat use were attributable to seasonal changes in m ... | 1987 | 28311964 |
| feeding of an iberian stream cyprinid assemblage: seasonality of resource use in a highly variable environment. | food resource use by seven cyprinids from an iberian stream was analysed over 9 months. differences in food resource use were found both between species and within species between seasons. plant material was a more important food for carp, nase, goldfish and barbel than for gudgeon, roach and chub, irrespective of the season. chironomid larvae were the staple animal food for the former five species throughout the year. roach and chub, especially the latter, displayed large seasonal variations in ... | 1993 | 28313422 |
| trading off safety against food: state dependent habitat choice and foraging in crucian carp. | the influence of hunger level and predation risk on habitat choice and foraging in crucian carp, carassius carassius, were studied in a laboratory experiment. experiments were carried out in aquaria with or without a predator (pike, esox lucius). habitat use and foraging activity of three-fish foraging groups of either fed or hungry crucian carp were studied. fish were allowed to choose between an open (risky) habitat with tubifex worms and a habitat with dense vegetation (safe) without food. ha ... | 1993 | 28314010 |
| modulatory role of l-carnitine against microcystin-lr-induced immunotoxicity and oxidative stress in common carp. | microcystin-lr (mclr), one of the most popular microcystins (mcs) found in many field water bodies around the world, poses great health risks to animals and humans. in the present study, healthy common carp (initial weight 24.8 ± 2.3 g) were randomly assigned to five groups. group i was fed on normal diet as control. group ii was maintained on normal diet and received mclr intraperitoneal injection (150 μg kg(-1) bw). common carp in groups iii, iv, and v were daily pretreated with l-carnitine (l ... | 2017 | 28315160 |
