Introduction Rohu (Labeo rohita Hamilton) is a globally significant aquaculture species for which genetically improved strains are increasingly available. In 2020, a multiplier population, comprised of highly–ranked generation-three (G3) families from the WorldFish Rohu Genetic Improvement Program, was released to hatcheries in Bangladesh for devel...

Introduced organisms are seen as one of the greatest threats to resource sustainability worldwide, and aquatic macroinvertebrates are regarded as good indicators of the health of water resources. To explore these two perspectives, the responses of macroinvertebrate faunas to native and introduced fishes in three headwater tributaries of the Keiskam...
In 2017, the base population of a family-based silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) genetic improvement program was spawned in Bangladesh. This program aims to improve the growth rate of silver carp under polyculture production systems, through direct selection on the primary trait of harvest-age weight. The objective of this study was to quan...

Planning and adjusting health capacities to meet the needs of refugees is a constant issue for transit and destination countries following the 2015/2016 Western Balkans refugee crisis. Understanding this crisis is important for taking the right steps in the future. The study informs about the prediction of the refugees' health needs and demands for...
Nucleoplasmin 2 (npm2) is an essential maternal-effect gene that mediates early embryonic events through its function as a histone chaperone that remodels chromatin. Here we report the existence of two npm2 (npm2a and npm2b) genes in zebrafish. We examined the evolution of npm2a and npm2b in a variety of vertebrates, their potential phylogenetic re...

Reprogramming of cultured cells using Xenopus egg extract involves controlling four major steps: plasma membrane permeabilization, egg factors import into the nucleus, membrane resealing, and cell proliferation. Using propidium iodide to assess plasma membrane permeability, we established that 90% of the cultured fin cells were permeabilized by dig...

Nuclear transfer consists in injecting a somatic nucleus carrying valuable genetic information into a recipient oocyte to sire a diploid offspring which bears the genome of interest. It requires that the oocyte (maternal) DNA is removed. In fish, because enucleation is difficult to achieve, non-enucleated oocytes are often used and disappearance of...
