Grass carp were imported to the U.S. from China in the 1960s to help control nuisance aquatic vegetation. Over time, these fish escaped to surrounding rivers and lakes, first in the Mississippi River basin [Guillory and Gasaway, 1978]. Grass carp is a species of concern because it grows fast and can quickly reach a size that is too big for many Great Lakes native predator fish species. It can consume a large amount of aquatic vegetation that may lead to habitat destruction [Cudmore et al., 2017]. Grass carp have been found in Lake Erie since the 1980s. In 2015, grass carp spawning were confirmed in Sandusky River, a tributary of Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio [Embke et al., 2016]. A regular grass carp egg monitoring program was established, and annual sampling during the likely spawning season has been occurring since then. In addition to the egg monitoring program, regional and federal agencies also started a joint targeted removal program for adult grass carp [Herbst et al., 2021]. Data from both the egg sampling and adult fish removal programs are counts: counts of eggs and counts of fish captured.
The Energetics of Fish Sperm Motility
Published in Claude Gagnon, Controls of Sperm Motility, 2020
The sperm production of many species of oviparous fish is high and large amounts of seminal plasma are available for biochemical analysis. A systematic study was carried out by Belova36 on proteins and fat of some cyprinid species submitted or not to the treatment of “hypophysation” (i.e., injection of pituitary extracts to stimulate spermiation) (Table 2). More analyses were made by other investigators (Table 3). The comparison of these compositions is not easy since the methods used are different or not fully detailed. However, it can be seen that large differences exist between authors, species, seasons, treatments, etc. The amount of proteins reported in carp vary from 1.2 g/l47 to 0.4 to 40 mg/l.44 Closely related species show large differences in fructose content, which range from 20 to 90 mg/1 in brook trout and cutthroat trout46 to only traces in rainbow trout.49 In O. mossambicus proteins are quasiabsent from the seminal plasma.44 The protein content of rainbow trout seminal fluid tends to decrease during spermiation,48,49 and it was shown that the presence of a 42-kD protein originating from the spermatozoa membrane coincides with a poor capacity of the sperm for cryopreservation.49

The risk factor is consumption of raw or improperly cooked freshwater fish, notably the carp (Z. platypus and others).35 The distribution of this fluke is mostly confined to Japan and Russia.35,88,143
Effects of pesticide NeemAzal-T/S on thyroid, stress hormone and some cytokines levels in freshwater common carp, Cyprinus carpio L
Published in Toxin Reviews, 2022
Aquaculture production is widespread around the world due to its potential to both reduce pressure on wild stocks and conserve biodiversity by producing animal protein for consumption by a growing global population (Bostock et al.2010). Carp is an omnivorous fish that grows fast, has commercial value and is cosmopolitan in nature. Cyprinus carpio is the third most important farm freshwater species in the world among cultivable carp (Ljubojević et al.2015). The importance of Cyprinus carpio in fish farm production and its widespread use to monitor water pollution in assessing the toxicity of biopesticides are among our reasons of choice for the experiment (Liew et al.2013, Liew et al.2015, Murussi et al.2016, Sehonova et al.2017, Forouhar Vajargah et al.2018, Iswarya et al.2018, Hodkovicova et al.2019, Liew et al.2020, Sula et al.2020a, 2020b).

Also, variation in sampling sources including sea, lake and fish farm, under the different agricultural, industrial activities and consequently the differences in dischargeable PTEs contents into the water, also, are among the important reason for the observed differences (Miri et al. 2017). In this context, (Saravi and Shokrzadeh 2013) stated that the increase in metal contamination Gorgan coast could be associated with the direct discharge of industrial wastewater without proper treatment to the Caspian sea and rivers as well as the application of chemical fertilizers containing Ni and Pb in agricultural fields around Gorgan coast. Heavy rainfall is resulted in runoff flow in farm fields and enter large amounts of pesticides containing PTEs in rivers (Saravi and Shokrzadeh 2013). Heshmati et al. (2017) reported that wild carp showed significantly higher Mn content compared to farmed carp. According to their findings, the highest and lowest Cu concentration was belonged to wild and farmed carps, respectively.

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is the most widely cultivated freshwater fish in the Yellow River of China. It is highly resistant to many pollutants in the ambient environment and is widely used as a bioindicator species (Yesilbudak and Erdem 2014, Altun et al.2017, Arslan et al.2017a; 2017b). A few investigations have been conducted on the effects of DP on Yellow River carp (He et al. 2014, Su et al. 2017). Here, the toxicity of DP to carp was analyzed to assess the environmental risk of this xenobiotic and identify any molecular or gene-specific markers linked to DP-induced genotoxicity. The present study may lay the foundation for attenuating aquatic DP burdens and ameliorating aquaculture production quality and safety.
