Article Abstract

In this study, a stress trial was conducted with common carp, one of the most important species in aquaculture worldwide, to identify relevant gene regulation pathways in different areas of the brain. Acute distress due to exposure to air significantly activated the expression of the immediate early gene in the telencephalon. In addition, evidence for regulation of the two corticotropin-releasing factor () genes in relation to their binding protein (corticotropin-releasing hormone-binding protein, ) is presented in this preliminary study. Inferences on the effects of due to exposure to air were obtained by using point estimation, which allows the prediction of a single value. This constitutes the best description to date of the previously generally unknown effects of stress in different brain regions in carp. Furthermore, principal component analyses were performed to reveal possible regulation patterns in the different regions of the fish brain. In conclusion, these preliminary studies on gene regulation in the carp brain that has been influenced by exposure to a stressor reveal that a number of genes may be successfully used as markers for exposure to unfavourable conditions.

Introduction: Galectin-9 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin that functions as a critical pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the host immune system, initiating immune defense responses by recognizing and binding to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of microorganisms. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel galectin-9 cDNA, designated CcGal-9, from Yellow River carp ().

Methods: The full-length CcGal-9 cDNA was cloned and sequenced, and its structural features were analyzed.

Upstream fish movement in the Danube River at the Iron Gate is blocked by the massive hydropower dams and ship locks, as shown by tracking six fish species (vimba bream Vimba vimba, common nase Chondrostoma nasus, barbel Barbus barbus, asp Leuciscus aspius, Pontic shad Alosa immaculata and common carp Cyprinus carpio). In the absence of effective fish passage systems, the current level of river connectivity is insufficient to support upstream movement and migration for this diverse, multispecies fish community. The tagged cyprinids displayed evidence of migratory behaviour.

Probiotics sourced from host-adapted microbes represent a sustainable innovation in aquaculture nutrition, aiming to replace antibiotics and enhance fish health. However, studies evaluating indigenous probiotic strains specifically adapted to the gut environment of target species remain limited. In this study, an indigenous strain was isolated from common carp () intestine, PCR-authenticated via dual endoglucanase amplicons (545 and 1311 bp), formulated as a powdered feed additive, and tested at 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg against commercial Nutri-Fish®, Infloran Bio®, vitamin C, and a supplemented control in an 8-week feeding trial with ( = 126) carp.

Grass carp reovirus type II (GCRV-II) has inflicted substantial economic damage to aquaculture industry due to highly contagious. To combat epidemic GCRV-II, we rational designed and constructed a multi-epitope nanoparticle vaccine (Pep-Fn) that consisted with cell penetrating peptide (CPP), epitope peptides, cell and grass carp-derived ferritin. Firstly, an anti-GCRV-II phage antibody library was constructed to screen antibodies for outer capsid proteins VP4 and VP35.
