Swim Bladder Disorders in Koi Carp (Cyprinus carpio) [PDF]
Swim bladder disorders and consequent buoyancy problems are encountered in ornamental fish, including koi carp. Nevertheless, beyond clinical and pharmacological management, they are largely underdiagnosed.

Proteomics-Based Investigation of Sexual Dimorphism in Swim Bladder Texture of Chu’s Croaker (Nibea coibor) [PDF]
The swim bladder of Chu’s croaker (Nibea coibor) is an expensive food with high texture requirements. In this study, we found that male swim bladder had better toughness than female.

A Thermostable Type I Collagen from Swim Bladder of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) [PDF]
As a major component of the extracellular matrix, collagen has been used as a biomaterial for many purposes including tissue engineering. Commercial collagen derived from mammals is associated with a risk of prion diseases and religious restrictions ...

Zebrafish sox2 Is Required for the Swim Bladder Inflation by Controlling the Swim-Up Behavior. [PDF]
The swim bladder functions to maintain the fish balance at a certain position under water. Although the motoneuron-dependent swim-up behavior is important for swim bladder inflation, the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. We generated a sox2 KO zebrafish using TALEN and found that the posterior chamber of the swim bladder was ...

Sensitivity of larval and juvenile fish with different swim bladder morphology to barotrauma with a special focus on Cypriniformes [PDF]
Barotrauma, caused by rapid pressure changes, poses a major risk to fish migrating downstream through hydropower turbines. This study investigated the sensitivity of larval and juvenile fish with different swim bladder morphology to barotrauma using a ...

The application of tissue-engineered fish swim bladder vascular graft. [PDF]
AbstractSmall diameter (< 6 mm) prosthetic vascular grafts continue to show very low long-term patency, but bioengineered vascular grafts show promising results in preclinical experiments. To assess a new scaffold source, we tested the use of decellularized fish swim bladder as a vascular patch and tube in rats.

Swim bladder tumors in the wavy medaka (Oryzias latipes). [PDF]
Swim bladder tumors were detected in three out of 28 wavy medakas aged about 2 years old, all of which displayed abnormal swimming patterns caused by their spinal curvature. The tumors were located in the dorsal abdominal cavity. The swim bladder lumen was not detected in the region where it was originally assumed to be located, and that region was ...
