Multistressor Interaction of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Temperature in Two Estuarine Fish Species, Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is characterized by a long, fluorinated carbon chain which makes it ideal for oil‐ and water‐repellent products but detrimental for the environment, where it persists and accumulates in organisms.

Detecting exploitable stages in the life history of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) in New Zealand [PDF]

, 2009
Koi carp are a highly coloured strain of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and are an invasive alien species to New Zealand. The introduction of koi carp to the lower Waikato River during the 1980s has coincided with a dramatic decline in water quality ...

Pathological and ecological host consequences of infection by an introduced fish parasite [PDF]

, 2011
The infection consequences of the introduced cestode fish parasite Bothriocephalus acheilognathi were studied in a cohort of wild, young-of-the-year common carp Cyprinus carpio that lacked co-evolution with the parasite.

Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

An investigation of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) movement in the Waikato region using laser ablation otolith microchemistry [PDF]

, 2008
The koi carp Cyprinus carpio is an invasive fish that has reached high numbers and biomass in the North Island of New Zealand, particularly in the Waikato region. This species has a variety of negative effects on aquatic ecosystems, increasing turbidity,

Molecular signature of selective microRNAs in Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus 1758):a computational approach [PDF]

ExRNA, 2019
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single stranded non-coding RNAs that performed significant role in post-transcriptional regulation of target gene product. They are typically conserved among the organisms and also involved in multiple biological processes by

Genome Expansion of ZPB1(a) and ZPC1(a) in Basal Species or Liver Expression of ZPB1a and ZPC1aa in Advanced Species, Two Different Strategies to Ensure Sufficient ZP Synthesis in Teleosts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that teleosts employed two different strategies to ensure sufficient ZP (zona pellucida) synthesis: expansion of ZPB1(a) and ZPC1(a) in basal species or liver expression of ZPB1a and ZPC1aa in advanced species. The N‐terminus of expanded ZPB1(a) or ZPC1(a) and liver‐expressed ZPB1a contains repeated units or low‐complexity regions to form ...

Genetic divergence between Cyprinus carpio carpio and Cyprinus carpio haematopterus as assessed by mitochondrial DNA analysis, with emphasis on origin of European domestic carp [PDF]

, 2003
Although common carp is the major fish species in Asian and European aquaculture and many domestic varieties have occurred, there is a controversy about the origination of European domestic common carp.

Hybridization between Native Barbless Carp (Cyprinus pellegrini) and Introduced Common Carp (C. carpio) in Xingyun Lake, China [PDF]

, 2012
Hybridization with introduced fish species is an important threat to native fish species. Here we investigated hybridization between native barbless carp (Cyprinus pellegrini) and introduced common carp (C.

High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.
