Subcellular modifications in hepatocytes of Carassius carassius var. auratus subjected to 24 hr and 48 hr sublethal acute lead (5mg.1-1) exposure were studied by electron microscopy. Cytological alterations were observed after 24 hr of treatment and became more evident after 48 hr. Lead induced an increase in nuclear heterochromatin and alterations in mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex ultrastructure. Glycogen granula decreased, and secondary lysosomes and lipid droplets increased. Furthermore, intracytoplasmic lumina with microvilli-bearing surfaces and numerous autophagic vacuola were observed after 48 hr of exposure.

Three fish species (common carp, Wels catfish, and silver carp) were collected from three locations along the Danube River in Serbia, and fish meat was analyzed for the content of toxic elements, micro- and macrominerals. Silver carp had the highest lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd) content, while Wels catfish had the highest level of mercury (Hg). Moreover, metal pollution index (MPI) ranged from 0.

Black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) is one of the "four famous domestic fishes" in China and an important economic fish in freshwater aquaculture. A high-quality genome is essential for advancing future biological research and breeding programs for this species. In this study, we aimed to generate a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of black carp using Nanopore and Hi-C technologies.

In this study, the impact of leonardite as a feed additive in goldfish diets was examined, focusing on its potential to positively influence feed and water parameters, which are critical for achieving sustainable ornamental fish farming. In this study, goldfish were fed diets containing four different levels of leonardite (0%, 2%, 6%, 10%). The experiment was conducted in 12 tanks with 3 replicates per treatment and lasted for 3 months.
