Immunopathogenesis of Edwardsiella tarda in Catla (Catla catla) was evaluated by in vitro interaction of catla head kidney (HK) phagocytes with the bacterium. Interactions of E. tarda with catla HK phagocytes were studied by light microscopy as well as by phagocytosis, intracellular replication, superoxide anion and nitric oxide production assays. Both opsonised and non-opsonized bacteria could adhere to, survive and replicate within phagocytes. Furthermore, there was no significant alteration in superoxide anion production by phagocytes when infected with E. tarda, indicating that they were able to avoid and/or resist reactive oxygen species mediated killing by the phagocytes. Enhancement of nitric oxide production indicated its possible involvement as inflammation mediator to facilitate pathogenesis. The results suggest the fact that E. tarda strain has the ability to resist phagocyte mediated killing, thereby proliferating within the host and causing infection.

Microplastics (MPs) form when plastic debris is released into the aquatic environment, where they decompose and have deleterious effects on aquatic life. This study aimed to examine the harmful impacts of polystyrene MPs (PS-MPs) on the growth, carcass composition, hematology, digestibility, histopathology, and mineral analysis of Catla catla (11.09 ± 0.

Objective: The choice of a stable reference gene plays a crucial role in gene expression analysis. In most cases, the choice of housekeeping gene (HKG) is quite random. However, the expression of HKGs varies under different experimental conditions and in different tissues.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how over-fertilizing fish ponds with various fertilizers (NPK, TSP, DAP) leads to increased levels of heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Cd, Cr) in water, sediment, and fish species, particularly noting that DAP caused the highest metal concentrations.
- - Heavy metal levels were significantly higher in fertilizer-applied groups compared to a control group, with DAP showing the most pronounced effects; however, the health index for fish muscles remained safe for consumption.
- - The researchers emphasize the need for careful monitoring and regulation of fertilizer use, especially DAP, to prevent contamination and recommend exploring sustainable farming practices to reduce environmental health risks.
