The hepatic GSH content was significantly inhibited by organic pollutants, alone and in mixtures, while the TBARS content was significantly induced after three days of exposure. Bell-shaped concentration-response charts of GST activities were obtained. Significant dose-response relationships were found for hepatic GSH and TBARS contents of all concentrations and for the GST activity, except at the highest concentration. The GSH content, GST activity, and TBARS content in Carassius auratus were confirmed as useful biomarkers of exposure to organic pollutions.展开更多

[ Method ] Using static water culture, Carassius auratus and Oriental weatherfish were exposed to solutions containing Cd2＋ with mass concentrations of 0.08, 1.72 and 6.84 mg/L, and blood was collected from tail veins to make smears which were observed under a oil lens afterwards. [ Result] In the initial exposure period, Carassius auratus and Onental weatherfish were unwell obviously, being afraid and unpeaceful and escaping everywhere. With the increase in Cd2＋ concentration, this phenomenon became more distinct. In addition, as the prolonging of exposure time, fishes moved slowly, powerlessly and less and reacted slowly, and moe and more excrement deposited at the bottom of aquariums. [ Conclusion] Cd2 ＋ could obviously induce Carassius auratus and Oriental weatherfish to generate micronuclei, showing certain dose-effect and time-effect relation under certain conditions.展开更多

It showed that there was the highest genetic diversity among the white oranda with red cap (RC) population, and the lowest among the white tigerhead (WT) population. However, the outcross existed among every population. There was huge genetic differentiation between WT and the other four populations. The average observed heterozygosity (HO) among populations ranged from 0.3571 to 0.7381. And significant genetic difference (FCT = 0.1891, P = 0.0186) appeared among goldfish varieties which can be classified into three groups (RT, WT;RL, BL, YC;RC). The software Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCA) and STRUCTURE showed that significant genetic differences were revealed between RC population of goldfish and other five populations.展开更多
