Article Abstract
Lethal concentrations of cypermethrin, dissolved either in water or acetone, were determined for freshwater catfish Heteropneustes fossilis at different hours of exposure by static bioassays. Up to 48 hours, there was no difference between LC(50) values of aqueous and acetone solublized cypermethrin. Seventy-two-hour LC(50) values of aqueous cypermethrin and acetone solublized cypermethrin to H. fossilis were 0.67 and 1.27 microg/L, respectively. Lethal values remained unchanged beyond 72 hours. The fish exposed to even lower concentration of cypermethrin (0.5 microg/L) showed hyperactivity.

Invasive species are drivers of ecological change with the potential to reshape the structure and function of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The invasive flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) is an opportunistic predator that has established a rapidly growing population in the Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania, USA, since they were first detected in 2002. Although the predatory effects of invasive catfishes on native fish communities have been documented, the effects of invasion on riverine food webs are poorly understood.

Based on the limited hepatic hydroxylation efficiency of dietary VD3 in teleosts and the superior bioavailability of its metabolite, 25(OH)D3, this study investigated the regulatory mechanisms of dietary 25(OH)D3 supplementation in yellow catfish-an economically significant species lacking prior nutritional data on this metabolite. A total of 360 fish were divided into three groups-control (basal diet), VD3 (2500 IU/kg VD3), and 25(OH)D3 (2500 IU/kg 25(OH)D3)-and fed for 8 weeks. Compared to the control, both supplemented groups showed elevated superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), catalase (CAT), and transforming growth factor-β () activities, alongside reduced malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-1β (), and tumor necrosis factor-α () levels.

Morphological and metabarcoding analyses provided new insights into the diet of the European catfish (Silurus glanis) in an invaded area in the Iberian Peninsula. Out of 264 S. glanis examined, data were obtained for 173 individuals through metabarcoding of intestinal contents and for 110 through morphological analysis of stomach contents.

Nocardia seriolae is a causative agent for fish skin ulcers and sarcoidosis, resulting in significant losses in both brackish and freshwater fish farming industries. From October to November 2023, channel catfishes (Ictalurus punctatus) cultured in Xiaowan reservoir at Dali city, Yunnan province in China, showed gross pathological changes with skin ulcers, white nodules in the liver and heart, histopathological tests revealed the typical granulomas and chronic hepatitis changes in the liver, and the clumps of filamentous bacteria in the heart and spleen. A Gram-positive acid-fast bacterium (CCF_NS01) was isolated from viscera (liver, spleen and kidney); biochemical tests and 16sRNA-GyrB gene concatenated sequences analysis of this isolated microorganism identified it as N.
