Summary: There are several strains of rice field-domesticated common carp in China, but their geographical origins and adaptability to rice fields have not been well studied. Through gene sequencing, it was found that Qingtian carp showed the closest relationship with the Oujiang wild carp population, indicating their origin from the Oujiang River. These findings help us understand the adaptive mechanism of fish to the rice field environment.

Summary: Unregulated viral agents, such as carp edema virus (CEV), have been reported to cause mortality in common carp populations. A severe common carp mortality event occurred in an artificial lake in north-east Italy, with molecular analysis confirming CEV as the responsible agent for the outbreak.

Summary: This study introduces an online application called WhoseEgg that helps non-R users to rapidly identify fish eggs through a simple point-and-click interface. The objective of this application is to detect invasive carp species (Bighead, Grass, and Silver Carp) in the Upper Mississippi River basin. This article provides an overview of WhoseEgg, an example application, and future research directions.

Summary: Hormonal stimulation of carp sperm resulted in increased sperm viability, movement trajectory parameters, and ATP level, but no significant changes in motility, velocity, or reactive oxygen species levels. The study identified changes in abundance of 48 proteins and 12 phosphoproteins, mainly related to cilium assembly, energy metabolism, protein folding, and signal transduction in spermatozoa.

Summary: This study demonstrates that increased parasite burdens in lactating female wild animals can lead to decreased fitness in terms of survival, fecundity, calf weight, and parturition date in the following year, providing observational evidence for the regulation of life-history trade-offs by parasites.

Summary: The study used ddRAD-seq to assess the genetic impact of aquaculture carps on wild common carp populations in northern Vietnam. The research revealed that some wild carp populations have a significant contribution to farmed fish ancestry, with pure aquaculture specimens being quite rare in wild habitats.

Summary: The timing of female maturation in wild mammals can be influenced by a variety of factors, including ecological and social variables. This study provides the first evidence of male-mediated maturation in a wild primate, the gelada, where the arrival of new male individuals can impact the maturation process of young females. The findings suggest that male-mediated maturation, whether accelerating, on-time, or delayed, may be governed by similar neuroendocrine processes.

Summary: This review paper focuses on the invasive species silver carp in the Danube River, particularly the ecological risks it poses to the ecosystem under the context of global warming. By gathering data, the paper examines the entry of silver carp into the Danube Delta, the suitable water temperature for its growth and reproduction, as well as the species' nutrition characteristics.

Summary: This study examined the cyto-embryological characteristics of wild Kentucky bluegrass germplasm from Gannan and Longnan in Gansu Province. The research found no significant differences in pollen characteristics and viability between the two germplasm materials. The main apomixis observed was apospory, resulting in the coexistence of multiple embryo sacs, and polyembryonic seeds were frequently observed in Kentucky bluegrass.

Summary: Through long-term data analysis on a threatened songbird, we find that early-life telomere length can predict the senescence of reproductive traits, such as clutch size and hatching success. However, early-life telomere length does not predict lifespan or lifetime reproductive success. These findings provide insights on the role of telomeres in reproductive senescence and individual fitness, and suggest telomere length as a predictor for future life history in threatened species.

Summary: The study found that PGE2 produced by RpfE-activated dendritic cells via the MAPK and cyclooxygenase 2 signaling pathways induces Th1 and Th17 cell responses mainly via the EP4 receptor, contributing to defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Moreover, adding optimal amount of PGE2 to IL-2-IL-6-IL-23p19-IL-1 beta is essential for promoting differentiation into Th1/Th17 cells with strong bactericidal activity.

Summary: CD3 is a crucial component of the TCR-CD3 complex in adaptive immunity, with its homologues CiCD3γ/δ and CiCD3ε identified in grass carp and shown to be highly expressed in healthy fish and modulated by infections. A monoclonal antibody against CiCD3γ/δ was successfully produced, which showed good reactivity in Western blotting and flow cytometry analysis. The CiCD3γ/δ(+) cells were found to be localized in the gills and head kidney, accounting for a small percentage of lymphocytes in different organs.

Summary: This study found that levels of PGE2, expression of EP2 receptor, and PTGS1 and PTGES synthesis enzyme genes increased in HSCR colon tissues, while the synthesis of PGE2-related byproducts decreased. In vivo, pregnant mice treated with PGE2 gave birth to offspring with reduced ganglion cells in their colon and impaired gut function; in vitro, blocking EP2 reversed PGE2-inhibited cell migration.

Summary: Summary: The naked carp population in Qinghai Lake has significantly declined due to overfishing and other ecological stresses. Using artificial reproduction can effectively restore the population, but factors such as post-release survival rate and genetic diversity need to be considered.

Summary: Short-term storage of fish sperm is a simple and cost-effective process that has been used in fishery research to study gamete biology, perform in vitro fertilization, and develop sperm cryopreservation. It is also beneficial for selective breeding, hatchery production, disease detection, and conservation efforts. The quality of common carp sperm is influenced by various factors including health, age, nutritional status, hormone administration, and environmental conditions.
