Summary: In this study, it was found that injection of Calcein (CAL) could induce a strong oxidative stress response in juvenile silver carp. The severity of oxidative stress was correlated with the injection dose and time after injection. Higher CAL doses could lead to greater toxicity in the fish. When using CAL for fluorescent labeling, the injection dose should be restricted to 25 mg/kg or less and the injected fish should be reared for at least 16 days.

Summary: The individual and combined efficacy of chitooligosaccharides (COS) and alginic acid (AA) on growth and disease resistance in silver carp against Edwardsiella ictaluri were evaluated. Results showed that feeding silver carp with COS, AA, or their combination significantly improved the growth parameters, survival rate, hematological and biochemical profiles, enzyme activities, antioxidant enzyme activities, and immune response. The study confirmed the effectiveness of feeding silver carp with COS and AA diets.

Summary: Hypoxia stress is a serious issue in fish culture, causing physical and morphological changes, injury, and even death to fish. In this study, differentially expressed miRNAs in silver carp under hypoxia stress were identified through high-throughput sequencing, providing valuable resources for further research on the regulatory mechanism of miRNAs in silver carp under hypoxia stress.

Summary: This study evaluated the physicochemical characterization, morphology, and biocompatibility of collagen extracted from silver carp fish skin by-product. The extracted collagen showed a triple helical structure, high denaturation temperature, and suitable structure for cell growth, making it a proper alternative biomaterial for biomedical use.

Summary: In this study, collagen with high thermal stability was successfully extracted from the swim bladder of silver carp. It exhibited high purity and well-preserved triple-helix structure, along with antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that swim bladder-derived collagen could serve as a promising alternative source of collagen for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Summary: This study conducted a comprehensive genomic analysis of the East Asian cyprinids including the silver carp and bighead carp, revealing their evolution and speciation. The expanded gene families in these two carp species were found to be associated with diseases, the immune system, and environmental adaptations, while genetic markers differentiating populations were identified, linked to reproductive system development and female sexual characteristics.

Summary: In this study, the cystatin C gene from silver carp was cloned and expressed, showing strong inhibitory effects on papain. The results suggest that HmCystatin C is widely distributed in silver carp tissues and it provides valuable information for further research on cystatins in fish organisms.

Summary: This study involved the preparation of scale collagen peptides (SCPs) from silver carp scales, their characterization, and the identification of peptide sequences. The results showed that SCPs1 (6096.68-9513.70 Da) exhibited better scavenging ability, tyrosinase inhibition, and moisture absorption compared to SCPs2. SCPs1 was identified as a macromolecular fragment of type I collagen with a triple helix structure and contained three peptide sequences that could potentially inhibit tyrosinase activity. These findings indicate that SCPs1 has whitening potential.

Summary: This study investigated the protein changes in silver carp muscle during brine curing and air-drying processes. The results showed that protein aggregation increased after air-drying, while cathepsin activity also increased. However, the total free amino acid content did not significantly change. Therefore, protein changes in silver carp muscle were mainly due to degradation.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the acute toxicity of mercuric chloride (HgCl2) on silver carp larvae. Probit analysis was used to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50), which was found to be 267.72, 252.97, 225.57, and 97.80 μg/L at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours, respectively. The findings revealed that different concentrations of Hg2+ did not significantly affect the antioxidant capacity, energy metabolism parameters, and related gene expression in fish larvae, except for an increase in catalase (CAT) activity at 12.23 μg/L. However, a high concentration of Hg2+ upregulated the mRNA levels of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and metallothionein (MT) genes. The IBR index showed the highest value in the 24.45 μg/L group. Overall, this study provides insights into the effects of Hg acute toxicity on silver carp larvae.

Summary: Silver carp is an important aquaculture species in Bangladesh and globally. The genetic composition of the species in the country is complex and imperfectly understood. Through a genetic improvement program, actual founders were identified and a valid pedigree was established for future breeding and inbreeding management.

Summary: This study compared the muscle composition and amino acid composition of silver carp raised in pond, short-term stocked, and ranched in a natural water ranch. The results showed that there was no significant difference in protein and amino acid content between the stocked group and the ranched group, and both were higher than the farmed group. This suggests that short-term stocking can improve the flesh quality of farmed fish.
