Branchiomycosis is a fungal disease that infects fish gills. It wasidentified by isolation and histopathological changes of examined gills incommon carp fish (Cyprinus carpio) which, were obtained from fish farm inDuhok Governorate, Iraq. The infected fish were suffering from respiratorydisorders; gulping air at the water surface, rapid movement of operculum andmassive mortality, which resulted in the loss of 95% of fish pond. The gillsappear marbled appearance with necrotic areas on the localized damage gills.The causal pathogen was identified as Branchiomyces sanguinis, in which thediameter of spores and non-septated hyphae are 5-7 μm and 12 – 20 μm,respectively. In histopathological preparation, the spores and the non-septatedhyphae have been shown to be embedded in the gill tissues contained undividedand sporulating stages.

The present study was carried out to assess the effect of diet supplemented with thepax on intestinal morphometry of young Cyprinus carpio. Fish mean weights were 13.40±1.85 gm and their mean total length 11.07±1.27 cm (30 specimens), which were randomly distributed into three treatments (two replications for each treatment). Fish groups were fed three dissimilar diets up to 60 days. The first group was fed with 0.5 gm thepax/kg diet, the second group was fed with 1 gm thepax/kg diet and the third group was served as the control group which fed basal diet without thepax.supplementation. The feed was applied twice daily at 3.0% of the body weight per day for 60 days. The intake of prebiotics (thepax) modified the gastrointestinal tracts. Villus length, villus width, and villus area were significantly (P<0.05) higher than control in young common carp fed the diet supplemented with thepax (1 gm/kg). No differences in liver histology are observed between the three experimental feed treatments. No histopathological changes like degeneration, necrosis, leukocyte infiltration, haemorrhage and steatosis were noticed. These results indicated that host-derived prebiotics, especially thepax (1 gm/kg) has significant potential as an important prebiotic to enhance the nutrients utilization and metabolism through increasing intestinal surface area in young common carp.

The study was focused on the assessment of effects of herbicide preparation Gardoprim Plus Gold 500 SC (terbuthylazine and S-metolachlor as active substances) on haematological and biochemical indices as well as tissue histopathological changes in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Forty eight one- to two-year-old fish were divided into two groups, i.e. 24 fish were treated with 13.0 mg·l-1 of Gardoprim Plus Gold 500 SC and 24 fish were used in control. The experiment was conducted according to OECD method No. 203 Fish, Acute Toxicity Test. Experimental carp showed a significant decrease in leukocyte and lymphocyte counts (P < 0.01) and haematocrit value (P < 0.05) in haematological profile. In biochemical indices, a significant increase in glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, ammonia (P < 0.01), and lactate dehydrogenase (P < 0.05) and a significant decrease in inorganic phosphorus, triglycerides (P < 0.01), and chlorides (P < 0.05) were found in exposed carp compared to control. Histopathological examination revealed lesions in gills and liver. The decline in both leukocyte and lymphocyte counts indicates decreased nonspecific immunity of treated common carp. Increase in ammonia and glucose concentrations, and in catalytic activities of lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase can be related to stress burden, and alteration of liver cell function, respectively, in experimental carp compared to control fish. The study uniquely contributes to the evaluation of the effect of two-component herbicide preparation on common carp.
