Khanom, T Khatun, M.A.S. Jewel*, M.D. Hossain and M.M. Rahman Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate the abundance and present status of fish biodiversity in the Shiba river at Tanore Upazila of Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. The study was conducted from November, 2016 to February, 2017. A total of 30 species of fishes were recorded belonging to nine orders, 15 families and 26 genera. Cypriniformes and Siluriformes were the most diversified groups in terms of species. Among 30 species, nine species under the order Cypriniformes, nine species of Siluriformes, five species of Perciformes, two species of Channiformes, two species of Mastacembeliformes, one species of Beloniformes, one species of Clupeiformes, one species of Osteoglossiformes and one species of Decapoda, Crustacea were found. Machrobrachium lamarrei of the family Palaemonidae under Decapoda order was the most dominant species contributing 26.29% of the total catch. In the Shiba river only 6.65% threatened fish species were found, and among them 1.57% were endangered and 4.96% were vulnerable. The mean values of Shannon-Weaver diversity (H), Margalef’s richness (D) and Pielou’s (e) evenness were found as 1.86, 2.22 and 0.74, respectively. Relationship between Shannon-Weaver diversity index (H) and pollution indicates the river as light to moderate polluted.

Bergmann2, Mansour El-Matbouli1,* 1Clinical Division of Fish Medicine, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, Austria 2Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut, Federal Research Institute for Animal Health, Institute of Infectology, Greifswald-Insel Riems, Germany ABSTRACT: Common carp (including ornamental koi carp) Cyprinus carpio L. are ecologically and economically important freshwater fish in Europe and Asia. C. carpio have recently been endangered by a third cyprinid herpesvirus, known as cyprinid herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3), the etio- logical agent of koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD), which causes significant morbidity and mortality in koi and common carp. Clinical and pathological signs include epidermal abrasions, excess mucus production, necrosis of gill and internal organs, and lethargy. KHVD has decimated major carp populations in Israel, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, Canada, and the USA, and has been listed as a notifiable disease in Germany since 2005, and by the World Organisation for Ani- mal Health since 2007. KHVD is exacerbated in aquaculture because of the relatively high host stocking density, and CyHV-3 may be concentrated by filter-feeding aquatic organisms. CyHV-3 is taxonomically grouped within the family Alloherpesviridae, can be propagated in a number of cell lines, and is active at a temperature range of 15 to 28°C. Three isolates originating from Japan (KHV-J), USA (KHV-U), and Israel (KHV-I) have been sequenced. CyHV-3 has a 295 kb genome with 156 unique open reading frames and replicates in the cell nucleus, and mature viral particles are 170 to 200 nm in diameter.

Family - Cyprinidae
Family - Cyprinidae One of the largest families of fish. Found in a huge range in temperate and tropical waters of Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. This family is characterised by no jaw teeth, mouth barbels, no adipose fin. Most closely related to the native families Ariidae and Plotosidae. Various sorts of carp are the best known, but the family also includes minnows, daces, and bitterlings. Four species have established self-maintaing populations in Australia since their introduction in1862. Being small and brightly coloured many species of cyprinids are popular with aquarists, and some valuable economically. Goldfish Carassius auratus Linnaeus (R.M McDowall) Other names: Carp, Crucian carp, Prussian carp. Description: A small, plump, deep-bodied fish, with a large blunt head. Small, toothless protusible mouth and moderately large eyes. Dorsal fin (III-IV, 14- 20); Anal fin small (II-III, 5-7). Tail moderately forked. Pelvic fins 7rays; pectorals with 16-18 rays; many long gill rakers (40-46); vertebrae 27-28. Commonly grows to 100-200 mm, can reach up to 400 mm and 1 kg. Distribution: Possiblly one of the most widespread of the exotic species introduced to Australia. Appears in most freshwater systems in the southern half of Australia, extending from the Fitzroy River in Queensland, throughout New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia in the inland Murry-Darling system and Cooper Creek, to the south-west of Western Australia. Natural History: Is originally a native to eastern Asia, but now has almost worldwide range. Was imported to Australia in 1876 as an ornamental fish.

Gustatory and Olfactory Feeding Responces in Japanese Koi Carp (Cyprinus Carpio)
GUSTATORY AND OLFACTORY FEEDING RESPONCES IN JAPANESE KOI CARP (CYPRINUS CARPIO) BY Philip Barnard Assignment presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MPhil in Aquaculture in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Animal Sciences, at the University of Stellenbosch Study Leader: Co-study Leader: Lf de Wet Prof D Brink Stellenbosch April 2006 1 Declaration I, the undersigned, herby declare that the work contained in this assignment is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any other university for a degree. Philip Barnard Date: 2 Abstract Gustatory and Olfactory Feeding Responses in Japanese Koi Carp (Cyprinus carpio) Chemo-attraction and –stimulation facilitate the initial location (olfactory response) and final consumption (gustatory response) of food in the feeding process of fish. Chemo-attractants or chemo-stimulants is therefore generally included in feeds for especially slow-feeding species to help reduce water fouling and to promote feed efficiency and growth rate through improved feed intake. Considering this, a study was performed to evaluate the attraction and stimulation potential of selected cereals and free amino acids in diets for Japanese koi carp (Cyprinus carpio). Results are presented on the comparative evaluation of five cereals (maize, sorghum, wheat, rye and triticale), raw and cooked forms of maize and concentrations of betaine and selected free amino acids (alanine, arginine, lysine and methionine), as well as their additive effect. 3 Opsomming GUSTATORIESE EN OLFAKTORIESE RESPONS IN JAPANESE KARP Chemo-aantreklikheid en -stimulasie fasiliteer die aanvanklike ligging (olfaktoriese respons) en die finale verbruik (gustatoriese repons) van kos in die voedingsproses van vis.

Environmental Cues for Koi Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) Spawning Aggregations and Bottleneck Locations Near Huntly, New Zealand
Environmental cues for koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) spawning aggregations and bottleneck locations near Huntly, New Zealand 2012 ERI report No. 63 Prepared for Waikato Regional Council By Jeremy Garrett-Walker Cite report as - ISSN 2350-3432: Garrett-Walker, J. 2015. Environmental cues for koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) spawning aggregations and bottleneck locations near Huntly, New Zealand. Environmental Research Institute Report No. 63, The University of Waikato, Hamilton. 16 pp. Reviewed by: Approved for release by: Dr Grant Tempero John Tyrrell Research Associate Research Developer Environmental Research Institute Environmental Research Institute University of Waikato University of Waikato i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) were monitored from August to December 2014 near Huntly, in the north Waikato, to document migratory and spawning behaviour. Monitoring involved a combination of daily water level and temperature logging, as well as semi-weekly observations of koi carp numbers and spawning activity. These data were used to examine the influence of water level and temperature on migration and spawning behaviour. No correlation between water level and koi carp migration was found; however, the monitoring period followed two years of drought in the region resulting in unusually low water levels for the time of year. In contrast, koi carp migration and spawning behaviour appeared to be related to water temperature, with spawning consistently observed after water temperatures were stable at 15oC. This temperature spawning threshold is lower than previously observed for northern New Zealand, but is within the range identified in overseas literature. It is recommended that future studies investigate a greater range of seasonal and climatic variations, and address the potential for increased activity at night when fish may be more active.

Some of the most famous and recognizable Chinese and Japanese artwork is that of the carp fish. Most Asian art enthusiasts are familiar with carp paintings and ukiyo-e woodblock prints, as well as the artwork it has inspired around the world. The carp is said to physically resemble a dragon. In fact, one of the most popular Chinese carp motifs is a carp(s) swimming toward a waterfall and transforming into a dragon. This motif is based on an ancient Chinese legend about carp who swim upstream in the Yellow River (Yangtze River) toward the mythical Dragon's Gate at the top of a giant legendary mountain. Those few carp who swim up the waterfall and through the gate are changed into dragons. To this day there exists a saying in China: "lǐ yú tiào lóng mén", or "The carp has leaped through the dragon's gate." This saying is often used for students who pass their exams, or people in general who work hard at a task and succeed beyond their wildest expectations.

Cyprinus Carpio Haematopterus Class
Koi Cyprinus carpio haematopterus Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Characteristics: Small to very large size fish, depending on age. Koi are an ornamental, decorative variety of domesticated common carp. Carp were first bred for color in 1820 in Japan. There are over 20 different Koi varieties, distinguished mostly by their color patterns. Koi vary in color with different varieties being white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream. The possible colors are virtually limitless, due to specific breeding of the fish. Koi are hardy fish, and can even survive winter temperatures. However, they do require the water to have a great deal of oxygen while they are polluting it quickly. Oxygen pumps or water circulation devices are often Range & Habitat: necessary in smaller ponds. Carp are originally found in central Europe and Asia. Carp were first Behavior: domesticated in East Asia, and Koi are very friendly fish. They can even learn to recognize the person have since spread almost feeding them and take food from the hand. They live peacefully with other worldwide. Koi are generally kept fish species, and will school together if they are comfortable in their in outdoor koi ponds or water environment. Koi will stir up the sediment from the bottom of the pond, gardens. causing very dirty water. Reproduction: Koi reproduce similarly to most other fish species. This reproductive method is called spawning. The female will lay a large numbers of eggs, and one or more males will externally fertilize the eggs. Koi will produce thousands of offspring, called fry, at one time. Diet: Lifespan: up to 100-200 Wild: Omnivores eating mostly algae, insect larvae, and pond vegetation.
