Gymnocypris eckloni is widely distributed in isolated lakes and the upper reaches of the Yellow River and play significant roles in the trophic web of freshwater communities. In this study, we generated a chromosome-level genome of G. eckloni using PacBio, Illumina and Hi-C sequencing data. The genome consists of 23 pseudo-chromosomes that contain 918.68 Mb of sequence, with a scaffold N50 length of 43.54 Mb. In total, 23,157 genes were annotated, representing 94.80% of the total predicted protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that G. eckloni was most closely related to C. carpio with an estimated divergence time of ~34.8 million years ago. For G. eckloni, we identified a high-quality genome at the chromosome level. This genome will serve as a valuable genomic resource for future research on the evolution and ecology of the schizothoracine fish in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

The development of hydroelectric projects has adversely affected the reproductive activities of downstream fish species. To facilitate the natural reproduction of fish and restore spawning grounds post-dam construction, it is imperative to explore the ecological factors crucial for their reproduction. Currently, various research methods with different advantages and limitations are employed for this purpose.

Climate change at the global scale affects the watershed's hydrology and the river's hydrodynamic, water temperature (WT), and habitat conditions of organisms. This article proposes a quantitative assessment methodology framework for analyzing the impact of GCC on the cold-water fish habitat. This framework integrated GCC, downscaling, hydrological, hydrodynamic, water temperature, and habitat models and was applied to the source region of the Yellow River (SRYR), where there are Gymnocypris eckloni (G.

Article Synopsis
- The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is home to unique species due to its special geography and environment, particularly a group of primitive fish from the subfamily Schizopygopsinae that are facing habitat loss and human activity pressures.
- The study developed two models to assess the conservation priorities of these fish based on genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships from 674 individuals across eight populations.
- Key populations identified for conservation include GPO, GE, and GPR, which show high genetic diversity and contribution to the overall species population, alongside specific populations prioritized in different evolutionary clades.

Artificial hybrid breeding can optimize parental traits to cultivate excellent hybrids with enhanced economic value. In this study, we investigated the growth performance and transcriptomes of (♀) and (♂) and their F1 hybrid fishes. Hatched individuals of (GP) and (GE) of the same size and their F1 hybrids (GH) were separately cultured for eight months in three cement tanks ( = 3).

Understanding how evolutionary processes shape the genetic variations and influence the response of species to environmental alterations is critical for biodiversity conservation and molecular breeding. Gymnocypris przewalskii przewalskii is the only known cyprinid fish that dwells in the brackish water of Lake Qinghai on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. To reveal the genetic basis of its adaptation to high salinity and alkalinity, whole-genome sequencing was performed in G.
