Gymnocypris przewalskii is an exclusively cyprinid fish that inhabits Lake Qinghai, which is characterized by high salinity and alkalinity. To elucidate the molecular basis of the adaptation of G. przewalskii to a wide range of salinity‒alkalinity conditions, we performed morphological, biochemical, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of the major osmoregulatory organs of the gills and kidney.

Article Synopsis
- Scaleless carp (Gymnocypris przewalskii) show special adaptations to survive in low oxygen environments, but how they manage this is not fully understood.
- A study created a hypoxic stress model for these fish to examine their gill responses, including oxidative stress and cellular changes after experiencing low oxygen levels.
- Results revealed changes in gill structure, increased apoptosis in cells, and a rise in antioxidant enzyme activity, highlighting how these carp adapt and cope with hypoxic conditions.
