A sensitive and rapid method to evaluate toxic and genotoxic properties of drinking water supplied from Lake Trasimeno (Umbria, Central Italy) was worked out analysing bile in Cyprinus carpio exposed for 20 d to lake water treated with 3 different disinfectants, sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)) and peracetic acid (PAA). Fish were sacrificed at 0, 10 and 20 d in order to investigate the time course of these endpoints. An aliquot of bile samples was fractionated by adsorption on C(18) silica cartridges and the genotoxic potential of whole bile and of bile fractions was evaluated by the single-cell microgel-electrophoresis (comet) assay on human colonic adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2). Bile (both whole and fractionated) from specimens exposed to the three disinfectants always showed a genotoxic activity as compared to the control group. The results of this study provide evidence that all three disinfectants cause an increase in bile genotoxicity of chronically exposed fish.

Ovulation, fertilization, and embryo development are orchestrated and synchronized processes essential for the optimal health of offspring. Post-ovulatory aging disrupts this synchronization and impairs oocyte quality. In addition, oocyte aging causes fertilization loss and poor embryo development.

Environmental factors play a fundamental role in shaping fish assemblage in aquatic ecosystems. The present study describes the fish assemblage structure on the spatial scale in Pong Reservoir, which lies in foothills of the Northwestern Himalaya within the river Beas basin. Through sophisticated enviro assessment techniques, using ArcGIS mapping, this study provides valuable insight into how physicochemical factors shape the fish assemblage in the reservoir.

From ancient cold-blooded fishes to mammals, all vertebrates are protected by adaptive immunity, and retain immunological memory. Although immunologists can demonstrate these phenomena in all fish, the responding cells remain elusive, without the tools to study them nor markers to define them. Fundamentally, we posited that it is longevity that defines a memory cell, like how it is antibody production that defines a plasma cell.

The prevalence of heatwave and hypoxia events and their devastating impacts on aquatic ecosystems and fishery resources reinforces the priority of research to address the resilience and adaption mechanisms to these two stressors in important fish species. However, our understanding of the development of cross-tolerance of these two stressors in fish still limited. Here, we investigated the impacts of prior heatwave exposure on hypoxia tolerance and the underlying mechanisms in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), a species of considerable ecological and commercial importance.
