Initial Post-Release Performance of Cultured Juveniles in a Shallow Lake in Southwestern China.

The post-release performance of cultured fish is crucial for understanding the viability of cultured fish and assessing the effects of stock enhancement programs. This study aimed to investigate the initial post-release performance of cultured juveniles by examining their movement, spatial distribution, gut fullness, and gut microbiota in nature. In July 2022, a total of 20,000 juveniles, tagged with visible implant fluorescence (VIE), were released into Qilu Lake, a shallow lake in southwestern China.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Cyprinoidea: Cyprinidae).

We describe the complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered fish . It is a circular molecule of 16,583 bp in size with a D-loop region and contains 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 13 protein-coding genes, and all genes show the typical gene arrangement conforming to the vertebrate consensus. The overall base composition of .

Effects of neuropeptide Y as a feed additive on stimulating the growth of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed low fish meal diets.

Neuropeptide Y is known to stimulate food intake in fish. In this study, we investigated tilapia NPY (tNPY) both for its effects on the growth of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, GIFT) in low fish meal and for its thermal stability. Three diets were formulated containing 0, 3 and 10 % fish meal (NF, LF and HF).

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Teleostei, Siluriformes).

is a key-listed protected indigenous fish species in Nujiang, Yunnan, China. In this study, we firstly reported the complete mitochondrial genome of , which was 16,584 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall base composition of was 30.
