This study assessed the impacts of atrazine (ATR), chlorpyrifos (CPF) and combined ATR/CPF exposure on the kidney of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). The carp were sampled after a 40-d exposure to CPF and ATR, individually or in combination, followed by a 40-d recovery to measure the expression levels of heat shock proteins genes (HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90) and pesticide residues in the kidney tissue. The results revealed that the mRNA and protein levels of HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 were induced in the kidney of common carp by ATR, CPF, and ATR/CPF mixture. The accumulated amounts of ATR, CPF, and their metabolites in the kidney tissues exhibited dose-dependency. These results exhibited that increasing concentration of ATR and CPF in the environment causes considerable stress for common carp, suggesting that the expression levels of HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 may act as potential biomarkers for assessing the environmental ATR and CPF risk for carp.

Aging Oocytes: Exploring Apoptosis and Its Impact on Embryonic Development in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio).

Article Synopsis
- Ovulation, fertilization, and embryo development are critical processes whose success is compromised by post-ovulatory aging, leading to reduced oocyte quality and fertilization ability.
- The study focused on common carp and found that oocyte aging significantly triggers apoptosis, particularly noticeable after 48 hours post-stripping, with increased levels of pro-apoptotic genes and active caspase 3 enzyme.
- Although early blastula embryos (5 HPF) from both fresh and aged oocytes showed no signs of apoptosis, the embryos from aged oocytes at 24 HPF displayed heightened apoptosis, indicating a time-dependent effect of oocyte aging on embryonic development.
Immunological memory in a teleost fish: common carp IgM B cells differentiate into memory and plasma cells.

Article Synopsis
- All vertebrates, from ancient fishes to mammals, possess adaptive immunity and immunological memory, although the specific responding cells in fish have not been clearly defined.
- Researchers infected common carp with a cnidarian parasite and observed that B cells proliferated and showed signs of differentiation, indicating they can form memory cells.
- The study revealed that these memory B cells can persist for at least six months, alongside identifying a distinct population of plasma cells, suggesting that teleost fish possess the necessary immune components for effective long-term disease protection akin to other vertebrates.

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.

Effects of (L.) fruit extract on the profile of hematology of ranchu goldfish ().

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of calabash fruit extract (BFE) on the growth and blood health of ranchu goldfish, showing that higher concentrations of BFE improve these aspects.
- Group P6, which received the highest BFE concentration, demonstrated the best growth performance and increased levels of specific immune cells (CD4+).
- The findings suggest that BFE could serve as an effective immunostimulant in fish diets, impacting both performance and hematological profiles positively.
