... freshwater fish differing in their sensitivity to high environmental ammonia (HEA). The highly ammonia-sensitive salmonid Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout), the less ammonia-sensitive cyprinid Cyprinus carpio (common carp) and the highly ammonia-resistant cyprinid Carassius auratus (goldfish) were exposed...

...E. H. van den Burg; M. Verhoye; R. R. Peeters; J. Meek; G. Flik; A. Van der Linden SUMMARY When common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., experience a rapid temperature drop, the cerebral blood volume is strongly reduced to dampen the temperature drop in the brain. Simultaneously, the preoptic area...

... immunohistochemistry real-time RT-PCR common carp Cyprinus carpio The common carp Cyprinus carpio L. is a stenohaline freshwater species. Carp originated in the Danube basin and their huge ability to adapt allowed them to extend their habitats throughout the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere...

... hypoxia (<0.3 mg O 2 l –1 ) in common carp ( Cyprinus carpio L.) that had been acclimated to 6, 10 and 15°C. While routine Q and f H values varied with temperature under normoxic conditions (Q 10 values of 1.7 and 2.6, respectively), severe hypoxic exposure significantly depressed f H and Q to similar...

...James M. Wakeling; Ian A. Johnston ABSTRACT White muscle strains were recorded using sonomicrometry techniques for 70 fast-starts in the common carp Cyprinus carpio L. High-speed ciné images were recorded simultaneously for 54 of these starts, and muscle strain was calculated independently from...

...Gudrun De Boeck; Göran E. Nilsson; Andrea Vlaeminck; Ronny Blust ABSTRACT Juvenile common carp, Cyprinus carpio , were exposed to increased levels of salinity (1 % NaCl) at 25 °C and 30 °C. Levels of the monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) and their metabolites...

...Karen S. Langfeld; Tony Crockford; Ian A. Johnston ABSTRACT Live slow fibre bundles were isolated from the superficial region of the pectoral fin abductor superficialis muscle of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) acclimated to either 8 or 20°C. The maximum tetanic tension (P 0 ) of fibre bundles...

...Ian A. Johnston; Lynne M. Bernard ABSTRACT Crucian carp ( Carassius carassius L.) and Common carp ( Cyprinus carpió L.) were subjected to 2h progressive hypoxia followed by up to 6 h anoxia in closed respirometers at 15 °C. The concentrations of glycogen, glucose, phosphoryl creatine, alanine...
