Myxobolus nekrasovae n. sp. (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) is a new species parasitizing the gills of the gibel carp, Carassius auratus gibelio.

A new Myxobolus species, Myxobolus nekrasovi n. sp., was found in the gill arch of the gibel carp Carassius auratus gibelio during investigation of fish myxosporean fauna of ponds of Lake Baikal basin.

Metapopulation Structure of Two Species of Pikeworm (, Cestoda) Parasitizing the Postglacial Fish Community in an Oligotrophic Lake.

In the present study, we estimated the levels of infestation of the main fish species that are hosts for two species: and . The prevalence of and infestations in the intestine of their definitive host-pike was similar (71.0% and 77.

Effect of Microplastics on the Activity of Digestive and Oxidative-Stress-Related Enzymes in Peled Whitefish ( Gmelin) Larvae.

Microplastics (MPs) are emergent pollutants in freshwater environments and may impact aquatic organisms, including those of nutritional value. The specific activities of digestive and antioxidant enzymes can be used as good bioindicators of the potential effects of MPs on fish in case of waterborne MP contamination. In this study, we used fluorescent polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) to analyze the alterations in enzyme activities in larvae of Gmelin (peled or Northern whitefish), one of the most valuable commercial fish species of Siberia.

Trophic diversification and parasitic invasion as ecological niche modulators for gut microbiota of whitefish.

Introduction: The impact of parasites on gut microbiota of the host is well documented, but the role of the relationship between the parasite and the host in the formation of the microbiota is poorly understood. This study has focused on the influence that trophic behavior and resulting parasitism has on the structure of the microbiome.

Methods: Using 16S amplicon sequencing and newly developed methodological approaches, we characterize the gut microbiota of the sympatric pair of whitefish complex and the associated microbiota of cestodes parasitizing their intestine.

Localization of the proteinase inhibitor activity in the fish cestode Eubothrium rugosum.

The mechanisms enabling fish tapeworms to avoid proteolytic attacks by digestive enzymes of their fish host have been studied in less detail compared with mammalian cestodes. This study aimed to assess the inhibitory ability towards trypsin and chymotrypsin in Eubothrium rugosum, an intestinal parasite of burbot Lota lota, and establish its localization in the tapeworm. To this end, the worms were treated with Triton X-100 followed by differential centrifugation to isolate the tegumental brush border membrane.

Chestnut Shell Tannins: Effects on Intestinal Inflammation and Dysbiosis in Zebrafish.

The aim of the present study was to test the possible ameliorative efficacy of phytochemicals such as tannins on intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis. The effect of a chestnut shell () extract (CSE) rich in polyphenols, mainly represented by tannins, on k-carrageenan-induced intestinal inflammation in adult zebrafish () was tested in a feeding trial. Intestinal inflammation was induced by 0.

The Digestive Function of Early Juveniles Is Differentially Modulated by Dietary Protein, Lipid and Carbohydrate Content and Their Ratios.

is an Amazonian catfish highly appreciated for its high flesh quality, size, and commercial value. Its aquaculture is pursued to satisfy the demands of an increasing population in the region. However, knowledge of the nutritional needs during the early life stages is necessary for improving growth and reducing the incidence of cannibalism, factors that limit the success of its commercial farming.

Seasonal changes in kinetic parameters of trypsin in gastric and agastric fish.

The objective of the present study was to assess if trypsin, a key enzyme involved in protein digestion, presents some kind of functional adaptations to seasonal changes in water temperature in freshwater fish. In order to test this hypothesis, individuals of two fish species Carassius gibelio (agastric) and Perca fluviatilis (gastric) were sampled in the basin of Chany Lake (Siberia, Russia) at two different seasons (spring and summer). Apparent kinetic parameters (K and V) were determined for both species and seasons at the actual pH values in fish guts, and at actual temperatures.

The effect of diet on the structure of gut bacterial community of sympatric pair of whitefishes (): one story more.

In the complex may be found lacustrine sympatric pairs, which serves as an intriguing model for studying different aspects of fish evolutionary biology. One such sympatric whitefish pair inhabits Teletskoye Lake (West Siberia, Russia) and includes a "large" form ( (Gmelin, 1789)) and a "small" form ( (Dulkeit, 1949)). has a narrow trophic specialization and feeds on zooplankton, whereas the diet of is based on benthic prey.

Composition of the microbial communities in the gastrointestinal tract of perch (Perca fluviatilis L. 1758) and cestodes parasitizing the perch digestive tract.

Using the approach of sequencing the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, we have analysed the bacterial diversity associated with the distinct compartments of the gastrointestinal tract of perch (Perca fluviatilis) and cestodes (Proteocephalus sp.) parasitizing their digestive tract. The dominant microbiota associated with cestodes (Proteocephalus sp.

Isolation and partial structural characterization of new Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors from the pike cestode Triaenophorus nodulosus.

The inhibitors produced by the parasitic worms successfully protect them from the host's proteases and are supposed to underlie the host-parasite specificity. Our previous study has shown that the extracts from the pike tapeworm Triaenophorus nodulosus inhibit host proteinases and commercial trypsin. We aimed to isolate and identify the components responsible for trypsin inactivation.

Activity of proteolytic enzymes in the intestine of bream Abramis brama infected with cestodes Caryophyllaeus laticeps (Cestoda, Caryophyllidea).

Adaptive mechanisms underlying the long-term existence of intestinal parasites in their enzymatically hostile environment are still poorly understood, particularly with regard to fish cestodes. The study describes the activity distribution of proteolytic enzymes along the gut of the bream Abramis brama infected with intestinal cestodes Caryophyllaeus laticeps and characterizes the capacity of these worms to inhibit host proteinase activity. Mucosal proteolytic activity was mainly presented by serine proteinases.

The effect of algal turbidity on larval performance and the ontogeny of digestive enzymes in the grey mullet (Mugil cephalus).

A study comprised of two trials determined the effects of water turbidity produced by live microalgae and inert clay particles on the larval rearing of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus). Trial 1 evaluated the effect of microalgae produced water turbidity on grey mullet larval performance and digestive tract (DT) enzyme ontogeny. Two microalgae (Nannochloropsis oculata and Isochrysis galbana) water turbidity levels (0.

DNA extraction protocols may influence biodiversity detected in the intestinal microbiome: a case study from wild Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio.

In this investigation, we examined the influence of different DNA extraction protocols on results obtained for intestinal microbiota of Prussian carp. We showed that significant differences were observed in numbers of reads, OTUs, Shannon index and taxonomic composition between two different DNA extraction protocols for intestine of Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio), and differences were also evident between microbial communities in the intestinal mucosa and intestinal content. Statistical analyses of 25 published articles also revealed a significant relationship between methods of DNA extraction and bacterial diversity in fish intestine of freshwater species.
