effects of third ventricle injection of prostaglandins on gonadotropin secretion in goldfish, carassius auratus. | 1976 | 1010304 | |
fish swimbladder: an excellent mesodermal inductor in primary embryonic induction. | swimbladder of the crucian carp, carassius auratus, was found to be better as a vegatalizing tissue than other tissues, such as guinea-pig bone marrow, when presumptive ectoderm of triturus gastrulae was used as reacting tissue. swimbladder usually induced assemblies of highly organized mesodermal tissues, such as notochord, somites and pronephric tubules, some of which were covered by mesodermal epithelium without any epidermal covering. a special character of the effect of swimbladder was the ... | 1976 | 1003076 |
mescaline: its effects on learning rate and dopamine metabolism in goldfish (carassius auratus). | the pharmacological action of mescaline on goldfish was studied with the bitterman-agranoff shock-avoidance test. in short term experiments with high mescaline doses an increase in learning rates was observed. similar results were obtained with apomorphine and l-dopa. however, when the fish were exposed to smaller mescaline doses (or to fluphenazine) for 3 days, their ability to avoid electric shock was reduced. apparently, mescaline induced a release of dopamine which stimulated central dopamin ... | 1976 | 991995 |

[life cycle of the trematode, crowcrocaecum skrjabini (iwanitzky, 1928) (allocreadiata, opecoelidae)]. | crowcrocaecum skrjabini has an intermediate and additional hosts. the mollusk lithoglyphus naticoides serves as an intermediate host; the invasion extensity is 43.88% in summer and 28.57% -- in autumn and winter. in the experiment gammarus (rivulogammarus) balcanicus has turned to be an additional host and carassius auratus givelia -- a definitive hot. the descriptions are given of cercaria (which belongs to a cotylocercal type), metacercaria and marita, reared in the experiment. | 2007 | 940689 |
[multiplicity of the molecular forms of acetylcholinesterase and thermal acclimatization in carassius auratus]. | multiple forms of acetylcholinesterase have been studied in goldfish adapted to 15 degrees c and 25 degrees c. three forms of enzyme (sedimenting at 18s, 12s and 5s) could be distinguished by sucrose gradient centrifugation. their molecular and enzymatic properties did not vary with environmental temperature. it was noted that the relative proportion of the three forms differed between brain and muscle extracts, the 18s forms predominating in muscle (about 75 per cent) the 12s forms being more a ... | 1976 | 938690 |
the effects of vision on the general locomotor behaviour of the goldfish, carassius auratus. | comparison of the locomotor behaviour of normal, unilaterally and bilaterally blinded goldfish (carassius auratus) demonstrated the roles of perspective vision (depth perception), which requires binocular vision, and of vision provided by only one eye, in the control of locomotion. because normal and bilaterally blinded fish exhibited similar size and direction of angles of turn, a similar number of consecutive turns in the same direction and the same turning frequency, normal, binocular vision ... | 1976 | 937768 |
fine structure of the olfactory epithelium in the goldfish, carassius auratus. a study of retrograde degeneration. | the fine structure of the goldfish olfactory epithelium was studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. six different cell types were distinguished. identification of the olfactory receptor cell was accomplished by use of retrograde degeneration studies. two morphologically distinct types of olfactory receptor cells were identified: one type bears radially oriented cilia (type i cell); the other type bears microvilli (type ii cell). the other four cell types were not identifiable a ... | 1977 | 922848 |

cue validity in a goldfish (carassius auratus) respiratory conditioning situation. | 1977 | 897041 | |
behavioural thresholds for diffuse illumination in the goldfish. | thresholds for diffuse, broad-band illumination were obtained for the goldfish (carassius auratus) by avoidance conditioning. the light source was a television cathode-ray tube whose output was controlled over a range of 140 db by a combination of 'brightness' control, blanking of scan lines, and neutral density filters. the threshold was calculated in terms of irradiance to be 2-9 x 10(-6) muw cm-2 (+/- a standard deviation of 1-4). the determination of absolute, rather than relative, values, a ... | 1977 | 894180 |
the oxygen consumption of some tissues from hypophysectomized goldfish, carassius auratus l. | hypophysectomy has no effect on the o2 consumptios reduction in liver o2 consumption is attributed to the increased glycogen content that follows hypophysectomy which has the effect of increasing the nonmetabolizing dry weight component of the cells. | 1977 | 891861 |
genetic and developmental analysis of some new color mutants in the goldfish, carassius auratus. | the genotypes of three color mutants in goldfish: a depigmentation character of larval melanophores, albinism and a recessive-transparent character, were analyzed by crossing experiments. the depigmentation character in the common goldfish is controlled by two dominant multiple genes, dp1 and dp2, and only fish with double recessive alleles dp1dp1 dp2dp2 can retain larval melanophores throughout life. albinism is also controlled by double autosomal genes, p and c. the genotype of an albino fish ... | 1977 | 885340 |
amebiasis in goldfish. | five cases of amebiasis were diagnosed in goldfish (carassius auratus) from home aquariums and from a laboratory aquarium. granulomas containing amoebae were in many organs but were most numerous in kidneys. because there were pseudopods, food vacuoles, vesicular nucleoli and other ultrastructural characteristics of the organisms, we identified the organisms as amoebae. on the basis of mitotic stages it is possible they belong in the family hartmannellidae. | 1977 | 883087 |

synaptic contacts of the horizontal cells in the retina of the marine teleost, callionymus lyra l. | the horizontal cell system in the retina of the fish callionymus lyra l. was investigated light microscopically and electron microscopically. one type of rod horizontal cells, which are only found in the mixed ventral part, exclusively contacts spherules with lateral endknobs in the triads. three types of cone horizontal cells occur. the first type, c-h1, contacts pedicles of pale and dark double cones and single cones. the processes always have a lateral position in the triads. this type has a ... | 1979 | 762279 |
effects of forebrain ablation on growth in teleost fishes. | the effect of forebrain extirpation on food uptake and growth was studied in different teleost species. in the case of wild species such as carassius gibelio and macropodus opercularis concolor, a prolonged enhancement of food uptake and body growth was found following forebrain ablation. in the case of domesticated species such as the common goldfish (carassius auratus) and macropodus opercularis, there was no effect of forebrain extirpation on either food uptake or growth. | 1978 | 754418 |
head-kidney thyroid in some indian teleosts. | six species of fishes, with different habits and belonging to different habitats and families, have been investigated. only four, namely discognathus lamta, carassius auratus, glossogobius giuris and polynemus sexfilis have shown the presence of heterotopic thyroid follicles in their head-kidneys. the heterotopic thyroid follicles of discognathus lamta appear to be functional while those of the rest of fishes are in non-functional state. | 1978 | 749388 |
the effects of pinealectomy on pituitary prolactin levels in carassius auratus exposed to various photoperiod-temperature regimes. | pinealectomy has an influence on pituitary prolactin levels in goldfish maintained under certain photoperiod-temperature regimes. the effects of pinealectomy on pituitary prolactin content depend on photoperiod and time of sampling. thus, differences between pinealectomized and sham operated animals may be due to a shift of a daily variation in pituitary prolactin levels. the pineal in fishes may thus be involved in photoperiod influences on daily prolactin rhythms. | 1978 | 747999 |
topography of estrogen target cells in the forebrain of goldfish, carassius auratus. | the topographical distribution of estradiol-concentrating cells in the brain of male and female teleost, carassius auratus, was determined by autoradiography, after injection of 3h estradiol-17beta. radioactively labeled neurons are found in specific regions of the forebrain, with a similar topographical distribution both in males and females. regions of accumulation of estrogen target cells include the supracommissural area of the telencephalon, the preoptic area, the central hypothalamic area ... | 1978 | 721971 |

external inhibition in a goldfish (carassius auratus) classical conditioning situation. | goldfish were classically conditioned with a light as the cs and shock as the us. the ur was a decrease in respiration. after 15 or 60 conditioning trials the fish were tested with novel stimuli (clicks) during the cs-us interval. high and moderate intensity novel stimuli produced a significant decrease in crs (external inhibition) for fish with 60 conditioning trials (5.5 or 10.5 sec cs-us interval), but not fish with 15 conditioning trials. low intensity novel stimuli produced no evidence for ... | 2003 | 683725 |
the kidney of the prussian carp, carassius auratus gibelio (cyprinidae). iii. glycogen-rich cells in the distal segment of nephronic tubule. | glycogen may be present in considerable amount in the distal segment of the nephronic tubule of a teleost freshwater fish, as revealed by light- and electron-microscopical observation. adaptation of crassiss auratus gibelio to increased salinity causes alterations of the cell fine structure (e.g. mitochondria and baso-lateral infoldings) but apparently does not influence deposition of glycogen. however glycogen storage is directly controlled by environmental temperature and may be part of an ann ... | 1978 | 675668 |
auditory masking patterns in the goldfish (carassius auratus): psychophysical tuning curves. | the masking effects of tones on the detection auditory signals were studied in goldfish using the psychophysical tuning-curve paradigm. for signals below 350 hz, masking is an inverse function of the frequency separation between masker and signal; a finding consistent with previous masking studies on fishes, birds and mammals. for signals above 350 hz, masking peaks occur both in the 350 hz region and at the frequency of the signal. quantitative comparisons with recent neural tuning curves for g ... | 1978 | 670874 |
the effect of training on the swimming muscles of the goldfish (carassius auratus). | goldfish (carassius auratus) were exercised continuously for periods of 28 days at swimming speeds of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 body lengths per second and their rates of growth were determined. changes in muscle fibre size were examined, as were changes which occurred in the concentrations of the major chemical constituents of these cells. these fish, typical of the carp family in that they are found only in still or slowly moving water, did not adapt well to the flowing water environment at any swimmin ... | 1978 | 670869 |

medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body in the goldfish (carassius auratus). | a medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body in the right eye of a 1-year-old goldfish (carassius auratus) had spindle and epithelial cells arranged either in columns or around a central lumen. vitreous-like material was found within the tumor. a medulloepithelioma is a most unusual tumor in fish in which ocular tumors are rare. | 1978 | 664187 |
distribution of fibres reacting with an alpha-endorphin antiserum in the neurohypophysis of carassius auratus and cyprinus carpio. | a strong positive immunoreaction with an alpha-endorphin antiserum occurs in two distinct sites of the goldfish and carp neurohypophysis. fluorescent nerve terminals are found in the laminar nerve processes located in the rostral pars distalis, but the immunocytological reaction is mainly localised on the nerve processes of the posterior neurohypophysis lying between the intermediate lobe cells. almost all the digitations of the neurohypophysis are strongly fluorescent. the immunoreactive fibres ... | 1978 | 657242 |
antigen recognition and immune response in goldfish carassius auratus at different temperatures. | 1978 | 640118 | |
some observations on the morphological evidence for mechanism of the bile secretion. | the morphological evidence of the intracellular route of bile secretion was investigated in the liver of goldfish (carassius auratus) as revealed by electron microscopy. smooth surfaced tubules or cisterns within or adjacent to the golgi apparatus showed linear saccular forms and contained sparse particulate or cloudy materials of low electron density. the isolated vacuoles were restrictedly found between the golgi apparatus and the intracellular bile canaliculus or hepatocytic side at the zone ... | 1978 | 636824 |
effects of actinomycin d on brain rna synthesis and discrimination learning in the goldfish (carassius auratus). | intracranial injection of actinomycin d 2 microgram inhibited about 70% of the brain rna synthesis from 3 hr to 4 days after injection in the goldfish. under these conditions, fish were given 4-day-training of visual discrimination between a card with vertical stripes and one with horizontal stripes. fish injected intracranially with actinomycin d showed deficits in between-day retention (long-term memory) but not interruption of within-day acquisition (short-term memory). it is suggested that b ... | 1977 | 607238 |
[study of 50 strains of aeromonas hydrophilia isolated from fishes]. | a bacteriological survey of the healthy goldfish (carassius auratus) demonstrated the frequent occurrence of a. hydrophila. the biochemical characters and the sensitivity to 29 chemiotherapics and 15 antiseptics of 50 fish originating strains were studied and compared with a number of strains, implicated in human pathology. the results of this study indicate a good agreement for the biochemical characters and the sensitivity to chemiotherapics between the fish and the human strains. owing to thi ... | 1977 | 603101 |
neurofibrillar changes in goldfish (carassius auratus l.) brain in relation to environmental temperature. | neurofibrillar changes occur in the brains of goldfish, carassius auratus l., maintained at 5 degrees c for 177 days or more under a 12-hour photoperiod. in paraffin sections impregnated by the silver method of holmes, the light microscopic appearance of the neurofibrillary change was evidenced by black rings 1 micrometer to 2 micrometer in outside diameter. a quantitative study showed the mean number of rings to be: optic tectum layer 3, 1.34 x 10(2)/mm(3), layer 5, 1.14 x 10(2)/mm(3), nucleus ... | 1977 | 598442 |

studies on fish scale formation and resorption. iii. fine structure and calcification of the fibrillary plates of the scales in carassius auratus (cypriniformes: cyprinidae). | electron microscopic investigation of scales of the goldfish carassius auratus revealed that the lamellae of fibrillary plates contain sheet-like structures composed of vertically oriented collagen fibers embedded in an organic matrix. the fibers (tc fibers) are smaller in diameter (35-45 nm) than those of the lamellae and the matrix is stained intensely with lead citrate. the sheet-like structures as well as the lamellae are formed by fibroblasts located beneath the lamellae. the orientation of ... | 1979 | 574424 |
gonads of carassius auratus (teleosts) in organ culture: a new technique and the effects of testosterone. | the use of a semi-natural medium (eagle's mem supplemented with chicken embryo extract) appears to be satisfactory for ovarian and testicular fragment cultures of carassius auratus. the male germ cells show a normal degeneration which might be attributed to a lack of pituitary hormones: gonadotropic and, possibly, somatotropic hormone. the ovarian fragments maintain a normal organization during 21 days of culture. only the oocytes in late vitellogenesis massively atresiate at the beginning of cu ... | 1977 | 558153 |
[the effect of the distribution of practice on the learning and forgetting in carassius auratus auratus linné]. | the significance of massed and distributed practice in discrimination learning to criterion by goldfish was studied. all animals were trained to discriminate between 6 horizontal black and white stripes (positive stimulus) and 2 vertical black and white stripes (negative stimulus). 5 groups of animals, 12 ss each, got different training programs. groups varied in number of trials per day (30, 10, 5 successive trials) and in distribution of trials over the day (30 trials given in blocks of 5 with ... | 1979 | 547582 |
histological observation of some of the endocrine glands in the sterile carp-funa hybrid (f1), with special reference to the hypophysis. | some endocrine glands of the carp-funa hybrids were studied with a light microscope to elucidate their detailed structure and the possible causal factor of sterility in the males. adult specimens of carp (cyprinus carpio), gengoroh-buna (carassius auratus cuvieri), and their hybrid (f1) were examined. the hybrid males are sterile as manifested by the failure of meiosis and seminomatous neoplasm in their testes. the hybrid females revealed well-developed ovaries, but their fertility was not teste ... | 1979 | 539886 |

tectal projections in the goldfish (carassius auratus): a degeneration study. | efferents revealed by degeneration staining following tectal lesions in goldfish are presented. four major projections were found. ascending ipsilateral projections to pretectal-diencephalic areas exit the tectum rostrally and laterally and terminate in the area pretectalis (ap), lateral geniculate (lgn), nucleus pretectalis (np), and nucleus rotundus (nr). ascending contralateral projections exit rostrally and possibly laterally, enter the posterior and postoptic commissures and terminate in th ... | 1973 | 422751 |
new observations on the fine structure of the liver in goldfish (carassius auratus). | a re-examination of goldfish liver was made through the use of sem of fractured samples and tem of ultrathin-sections and freeze-etch replicas. several new hepatic fine structures described in the present study are morphologically similar to those reported previously in many higher vertebrates including mammals. hepatic sinusoids of goldfish contain fenestrations which are arranged into sieve plates. although the hepatic plates are made up of two layers of hepatocytes, the parenchymal cells of g ... | 1977 | 421256 |
recovery of tectal nicotinic-cholinergic receptor sites during optic nerve degeneration in goldfish. | the concentration of cholinergic nicotinic-like sites as measured by alphabungarotoxin (alphabutx) binding, decreased in the goldfish (carassius auratus) optic tectum after optic nerve disconnection. initially, the rate of loss of sites is greater than the rate of tissue or protein degradation in experiments where disconnection was achieved either by unilateral optic nerve crush or by enucleation of one eye. when the crushed optic nerve is allowed to regenerate and form behaviorally potent conne ... | 1979 | 421155 |
[immunocytological localization of peptide analogs of alpha-endorphin in several neurons of the lateral nucleus tuberis of carassius auratus l. and cyprinus carpio l]. | neurons of the pars lateralis of the n.l.t. of carassius auratus and cyprinus carpio display a positive immunocytological reaction with an anti alpha-endorphin serum. it is assumed that the peptides produced by these neurons are similar, if not identical, with alpha-endorphin, but their morphinomimetic properties have still to be established. peptides of this kind may participate in the regulation of pituitary functions. | 1977 | 413644 |
trysinase positive oculocutaneous albinism in the goldfish, carassius auratus l., and ultrastructural and biochemical study of the eye. | ultrastructural studies, and cytochemical and biochemical determinations of tyrosinase activity were conducted on the pigment epithelium of albino and xanthic goldfish eyes. in eyes of xanthic goldfish, two types of melanosomes are present, spherical and elongated. melanized melanosomes are absent in the eyes of the albino goldfish, but elongated lamellar premelanosomes are observed. internal vesicles are present in both melanosome types in the pigment epithelium of the xanthic goldfish but are ... | 1977 | 411572 |
immunocytochemical identification of enkephalinergic neurons in the hypothalamic magnocellular preoptic nucleus of the goldfish, carassius auratus. | our immunocytochemical investigation of the magnocellular neuroendocrine system in the goldfish hypothalamus reveals enkephalin (enk)-containing neurons interspersed among the vasotocin (vt)- and isotocin (it)-containing neurons of the preoptic nucleus. the perikarya of the enk, vt, and it neurons do not show distinct morphological differences at the level of light microscopy and are not located preferentially within the nucleus. separate enk, vt and it fibers course laterally and ventrally thro ... | 1979 | 387250 |
