Article Synopsis
- Grass carp is a nonnative freshwater fish in Bangladesh, and its seed quality is declining due to issues like inbreeding and negative selection, prompting the need for improved breeding techniques.
- This study focused on optimizing sperm cryopreservation protocols to enhance the availability of quality grass carp seed, utilizing hormone-induced mature males from a broodstock developed from imported Chinese fingerlings.
- The research found that specific conditions, such as using Alsever's solution with 10% DMSO, yielded high motility rates in sperm and viable fertilization and hatching rates from cryopreserved sperm; however, further improvements are needed in these rates for commercial hatchery success.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the acute toxicity of Phenthoate 50 EC on common carp fingerlings, revealing a lethal concentration (LC) of 7.39 ppm over 96 hours.
- Significant neurotoxic effects were observed, including a decrease in brain acetylcholinesterase activity and increased liver enzyme activities, indicating potential damage to the nervous system and liver.
- Histopathological changes, along with alterations in blood, kidney, and gill morphology, suggest that exposure to Phenthoate leads to oxidative stress and biochemical changes, impacting the overall health of aquatic organisms.
