Karyological analysis of Ctenopharyngodon idella, Aristichthys nobilis, and their F1 hybrid

Ctenopharyngodon idella (grass carp) and Aristichthys nobilis (bighead carp) have a diploid chromosome number of 48 with no acrocentric chromosomes. The hybrid of these species is triploid with 72 chromosomes. The frequencies of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes suggest that the hybrid receives two maternal and one paternal set of chromosomes.

Endrin uptake and release by fingerling channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Fingerling channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus ) offered diets containing 0.04–4.0 μg endrin/g food (dry weight) rapidly accumulated the pesticide. Amounts in the tissues were directly proportional to amounts in the food. Dietary endrin had no measurable effect on growth or mortality. After endrin was withdrawn from the diet, it rapidly disappeared and could not be detected after 41 days. In fish exposed to 0.5 μg endrin/liter of water, mortalities began at tissue levels of 0.7 μg endrin/g of wet whole fish and total mortality occurred at levels near 1.0 μg/g.
