Invasive and native populations of the Amazonian fishes ‘peacock bass’Cichla
monoculus and of a not yet described species ‘blue tucunaré’ here referred as
Cichla sp. ‘Azul’ were analysed for genetic diversity using the hypervariable
domain of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region plus steady diagnostic
random amplified polymorphic DNA loci. There is no detailed historical record of
the intr... hiện toàn bộ
Current issues in fish welfareJournal of Fish Biology - Tập 68 Số 2 - Trang 332-372 - 2006

Human beings may affect the welfare of fish through fisheries, aquaculture and a
number of other activities. There is no agreement on just how to weigh the
concern for welfare of fish against the human interests involved, but ethical
frameworks exist that suggest how this might be approached.Different definitions
of animal welfare focus on an animal's condition, on its subjective experience

Identification and expression of the laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 gene in common carp Cyprinus carpioJournal of Fish Biology - Tập 86 Số 1 - Trang 74-91 - 2015

In this study, a laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 gene (lgp2) from common
carp Cyprinus carpio was isolated and characterized. The full‐length
complementary (c)DNA of lgp2 was 3061 bp and encoded a polypeptide of 680 amino
acids, with an estimated molecular mass of 77 341·2 Da and a predicted
isoelectric point of 6·53. The predicted protein included four main overlapping
structural domains:... hiện toàn bộ
Phylogenetic relationships among the mollies (Poeciliidae: Poecilia: Mollienesia group) based on mitochondrial DNA sequencesJournal of Fish Biology - Tập 53 Số sA - Trang 64-81 - 1998
Margaret B. Ptacek, Felix Breden
A 505‐bp sequence from the control region (D‐loop) and the complete 1047 bp of
the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene were examined for individuals from
11 species of mollies included in the group Mollienesia. All three species of
sailfin mollies of the Poecilia latipinna species complex were included (P.
latipinna, P. petenensis and P. velifera); this group is named after the
strikingly larg... hiện toàn bộ
Cold shocks: a stressor for common carpJournal of Fish Biology - Tập 57 Số 4 - Trang 881-894 - 2000

The stress response of common carp Cyprinus carpio was studied by evaluating
plasma cortisol, glucose and lactate after single or multiple rapid temperature
drops (ΔT: 7, 9 or 11° C). All three amplitudes used induced a significant rise
in plasma cortisol levels. Peaks occurred within 20 min after onset of the cold
shock. No stress‐related secondary metabolic changes were observed in any of the

Seasonal changes in the hypo‐osmoregulatory ability of brook charr: the role of environmental factorsJournal of Fish Biology - Tập 56 Số 2 - Trang 347-373 - 2000
Guy Claireaux, Céline Audet
In winter, brook charr Salvelinus fontinalis demonstrated poor osmoregulatory
ability. Saltwater (SW) transfer resulted in sharp increases in plasma
osmolality and chloride levels, a decrease in white muscle water content and
high mortality. A clear improvement of the hypo‐osmoregulatory mechanism
e.ciency was observed in spring; by May or June, fish achieved full acclimation
within 1 week of SW t... hiện toàn bộ
