is a digenea parasite whose juvenile and adult stages parasitize the intestinal tract of definitive host fish. There is no available ecological information about this parasitic infection in wild host fish. The present work aimed to investigate the infection rate and distribution of in wild silver carp, , and to assess the influence of environmental factors on infection by the parasite. From October 2016 to May 2019, a total of 554 wild silver carp were collected from two reservoirs. These collected fish were weighed, measured, and dissected to observe the presence of following standard methodology. Ecological analysis results showed that the frequency distribution of in the host population was aggregated distribution. The abundance of exhibited a positive correlation with the host age and condition factor of silver carp, but it showed no relationship with water temperature, pH or DO. The condition factor value of infected fish was significantly higher than that of uninfected fish. These results indicated that food intake, not environmental factors, directly determined infection by the parasite in the host, indicating that an increased food intake would increase the risk of infection. Thus, the number of parasites could be used as an indirect biological marker for assessing the effectiveness of silver carp in filter-feeding on plankton. The following analysis indicated that silver carp with a body length of 50-55 cm showed the highest efficiency in controlling phytoplankton biomass. This study provides important information for understanding the ecology of in wild silver carp.

Biogenic amines (BAs), produced in fish and seafood due to microbial contamination, pose significant health risks. This study introduces a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe, synthesized by integrating rhodamine 6G(R6G) and gold nanoparticles (AuNCs), for the sensitive and specific detection of BAs. The probe operates on the principle of BAs hydrolysis, catalyzed by diamine oxidase, to produce hydrogen peroxide (HO), which selectively quenches the fluorescence of AuNCs at 620 nm, while the fluorescence of R6Gat 533 nm remains unaffected.

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of dietary soy phytoestrogens, specifically genistein and daidzein, on the gonadal recrudescence and maturation of male Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758). Adult male C. carpio (60 ± 10 g) were fed with a diet with no added genistein or daidzein (C), 110 mg/100 mg genistein (GL), 210 mg/100 g genistein (GH), 4 mg/100 g daidzein (DL), 8 mg/100 g daidzein (DH), combination of 110 mg/100 mg genistein and 4 mg/100 g daidzein (DGL, equivalent to 17.

Cyvirus cyprinidallo 2 (CyHV-2) is the pathogen of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) that mainly infects goldfish Carassius auratus and crucian carp C. carassius and is characterized by high infectivity and pathogenicity. The availability of rapid and convenient detection methods is essential for early detection of CyHV-2.

In this study, silver carp surimi products enriched with Antarctic krill oil high internal phase emulsions (AKO-HIPEs) were cooked using steaming (STE), microwave heating (MIC), and air-frying (AIR), respectively. The gel and flavor properties, lipid quality and stability were investigated. Compared to the MIC and AIR groups, the STE surimi gel added with HIPEs had better texture properties, exhibiting higher water-holding capacity and a more homogeneous structure, while the air-frying treatment resulted in visually brighter surimi products.

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.
