Genomic variation in the hybrids of white crucian carp and red crucian carp: evidence from ribosomal DNA [PDF]
In this study, we conducted a cross of white crucian carp (♀)×red crucian carp (♂) (WR), and characterized the morphology, reproduction and genetics of the progeny. Different from parents, WR with the gray color showed the hybrid morphological traits of both parents.

Antipredator phenotype in crucian carp altered by a psychoactive drug [PDF]
AbstractPredator‐inducible defenses constitute a widespread form of adaptive phenotypic plasticity, and such defenses have recently been suggested linked with the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system is a target of endocrine disruptors, such as psychoactive pharmaceuticals, which are common aquatic contaminants.

Studies on the Philometrosis of Crucian Carp—I
ISHII(1931) described a nematode from the caudal fin of Japanese crucian carp, Carassius auratus (LINNe), under the name of Filaria carassii and stated that the gravid female of the nematode had three minute sharp protuberances around the mouth. Later, YAMAGUTI (1961) referred this species to the genus Philometra, but FURUYAMA (1934) and IVASHKIN et al.

Fish species-specific TRIM gene FTRCA1 negatively regulates interferon response through attenuating IRF7 transcription [PDF]
In mammals and fish, emerging evidence highlights that TRIM family members play important roles in the interferon (IFN) antiviral immune response. Fish TRIM family has undergone an unprecedented expansion leading to generation of finTRIM subfamily, which

Structural and biochemical characterization of a new type of lectin isolated from carp eggs. [PDF]
A previously unidentified glycoprotein present in the eggs of the carp (Cyprinus carpio) was isolated and structurally characterized. The protein binds to a Sepharose 4B matrix and can be eluted with 0.4 M N-acetylglucosamine. The protein has an apparent

Natural Hybridization between Diploid Crucian Carp Species and Genetic Independence of Triploid Crucian Carp Elucidated by DNA Markers. [PDF]
The population structure of genus Carassius in Lake Koyama, southeast Japan, was analyzed by genetic markers as microsatellite DNA, mtDNA RFLP and isozymes. Based on the ploidy level and morphological analysis, four Carassius groups were detected. The triploid group was identified as Ginbuna (C. langsdorfii). In the diploid group, Nagabuna (C. burugeri

Challenging fear: Chemical alarm signals are not causing morphology changes in crucian carp (Carassius carassius) [PDF]
Crucian carp develops a deep body in the presence of chemical cues from predators, which makes the fish less vulnerable to gape-limited predators. The active components originate in conspecifics eaten by predators, and are found in the filtrate of ...

Complete genome sequence and architecture of crucian carp Carassius auratus herpesvirus (CaHV) [PDF]
Crucian carp Carassius auratus herpesvirus (CaHV) was isolated from diseased crucian carp with acute gill hemorrhages and high mortality. The CaHV genome was sequenced and analyzed.

Effects of prolonged anoxia on electrical activity of the heart in Crucian carp (Carassius carassius) [PDF]
The effects of sustained anoxia on cardiac electrical excitability were examined in the anoxia-tolerant Crucian carp (Carassius carassius). The electrocardiogram (ECG) and expression of excitation-contraction coupling genes were studied in fish ...

Cell proliferation and gill morphology in anoxic crucian carp [PDF]
Is DNA replication/cell proliferation in vertebrates possible during anoxia? The oxygen dependence of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) could lead to a stop in DNA synthesis, thereby making anoxic DNA replication impossible. We have studied this question in an anoxia-tolerant vertebrate, the crucian carp ( Carassius carassius), by examining 5′-bromo-2 ...
