Article Abstract
Objective: Labeo catla (catla), one of the three Indian major carps, is native to the Indo-Gangetic riverine system of India as well as the rivers of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar. Its higher growth rate and compatibility with other major carps, specific surface feeding habit, and consumer preference have increased its popularity in carp polyculture systems among the fish farmers in Indian subcontinent. Recent advancement in sequencing technology coupled with massive parallel sequencing platforms has facilitated accelerated genetic improvement in aquaculture species through integration of genomics tools. A draft genome and allied resources are lacking in catla. Therefore, in the present study, we have performed de-novo assembly of Labeo catla for the first time.
Data Description: A male farm reared catla was used for extracting high molecular weight genomic DNA followed by sequencing in Oxford Nanopore and Illumina platforms. Approximately, 80× coverage of sequence data was assembled adopting the hybrid assembly strategy. The assembled genome size of catla was 1.01 Gb containing 5345 scaffolds with N50 value 0.7 Mb and more than 92% BUSCO completeness. Gene annotation resulted in 25,812 predicted genes.

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.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the haemoglobin protein structure in Labeo catla, highlighting the encoding of its subunits (α and β) by HBA and HBB genes, which were sequenced to get their complete coding sequences.
- - Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Labeo catla is closely related to other cyprinid fish, particularly Labeo rohita, and bioinformatics tools were used to predict gene function and protein structure.
- - Under hypoxic conditions, both HBA and HBB genes were found to be significantly upregulated, leading to increased haematological indices; however, a subsequent decrease in their expression resulted in higher mortality rates among the fish.
Heavy Metal Concentrations in Water, Sediment, and Fish Species in Chashma Barrage, Indus River: A Comprehensive Health Risk Assessment.

The increasing levels of heavy metals in aquatic environments, driven by human activities, pose a critical threat to ecosystems' overall health and sustainability. This study investigates the bioaccumulation of heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Cr, and Cd) in water, sediment, and three fish species (Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala) of different feeding zones within Chashma Barrage, located in the Mianwali district of Punjab, Pakistan, on the Indus River. A comprehensive analysis, including an assessment of associated human health risks, was conducted.
