Abstract
This is the first report of the production of viable "sterbel" hybrids using cryopreserved beluga (Huso huso) sperm. In the present study, beluga cryopreserved sperm were used for fertilization and activation of eggs collected from four females of sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus). Sperm were cryopreserved with the use of a glucose methanol extender with the application of an automatic freezer. The mean sperm concentration of beluga was 1.54 × 109 mL-1. Cryopreservation did not significantly change sperm velocity and trajectory parameters (VCL, VSL, VAP, LIN, STR, ALH, BCF). Cryopreservation affected only the values of percentage of motile sperm (MOT) and progressive motility (PRG). The frozen/thawed sperm were subsequently used for the fertilization of the sterlet ova. The fertilized and activated eggs from each female were incubated in separate experimental incubation cages in the RAS system (at 15 °C). This experiment resulted in the production of inter-generic hybrids that were incubated until hatching. Experimental hybridization was characterized by 20-35% hatching rates and normal development of "sterbel" larvae. Experimental hybrids were verified using molecular and cytogenetic analyses. All produced specimens were characterized by sterlet maternal and beluga paternal genomes and were diploids with 120 chromosomes. This study presents the procedure of hybridization of the sterlet with beluga cryopreserved sperm that can be applied in sturgeon aquaculture or research focused on the biology of sturgeon reproduction.

Abstract
Triploid crucian carp (TCC) is a kind of artificially bred fish with huge economic value to China. It has several excellent characteristics, such as fast growth, strong disease resistance and delicious taste. However, as a regionally specific fish, the underlying molecular mechanisms of these characteristics are largely unknown. In this study, we performed quantitative proteomics on the muscle tissues of TCC and its parents, allotetraploid (♂), red crucian carp (♀) and common carp. Combined with multiple bioinformatic analysis, we found that the taste of TCC can be mainly attributed to umami amino acid-enriched proteins such as PURBA, PVALBI and ATP5F1B, and that its rapid growth can be mainly ascribed to the high expression and regulation of metabolism-related proteins such as NDUFS1, ENO1A and CS. These play significant roles in substrate and energy metabolism, as well as in bias transformation. Subsequently, we identified several proteins, including MDH1AA, GOT1 and DLAT, that may serve as potential regulators of innate immunity by regulating the biosynthesis and transformation of significant antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides. In conclusion, this study can serve as a significant reference for similar investigations and shed light on the molecular and biological functions of individual proteins in TCC muscle tissue.

Abstract
Allotetraploids play central roles in the field of polyploid breeding of freshwater fishes. The molecular basis underlying distant hybridization and individual differences between allotetraploids and their parents is largely unknown. In this study, we performed quantitative proteomics profiling in gonad and liver tissues between allotetraploid and its parents Red Crucian Carp (♀) and Common Carp (♂) respectively. Thousands of proteins were identified and quantified. Species and tissue specific analysis revealed that a large number of causal proteins are specifically regulated in gonad or liver tissue in allotetraploid and its parents respectively. Subsequently, integrative bioinformatics analyses including functional enrichment, pathway and network analyses were conducted. The results suggested a series of gonad and liver specifically regulated proteins such as LSM3, LSM7, PABPC1B and ALDH3A1, EHHADHB, ACAT2 play crucial roles in reproduction-related and metabolism-related pathways including "DNA replication", "Spliceosome" and "Metabolic pathways", "Biosynthesis of antibiotics". Meanwhile, species specifically regulated proteins such as FMR1, MAO are involved in "RNA transport", "Glycine, serine and threonine metabolism". Herein, we established the first comprehensive proteomics knowledgebase for particular freshwater fishes. It may shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying polyploidy breeding and individual differences and serve as an indispensable reference for further studies.

The carp-goldfish nucleocytoplasmic hybrid has mitochondria from the carp as the nuclear donor species. Gene 2013; 536:265-71.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that mitochondria and its DNA (mtDNA) exhibit strict maternal inheritance, with sperm contributing no or non-detectable mitochondria to the next generation. In fish, nuclear transfer (NT) through the combination of a donor nucleus and an enucleated oocyte can produce fertile nucleocytoplasmic hybrids (NCHs) even between different genera and subfamilies. One of the best studied fish NCHs is CyCa produced by transplanting the nuclei plus cytoplasm from the common carp (Cyprinus carpio var. wuyuanensis) into the oocytes of the wild goldfish (Carassius auratus), which has been propagated by self-mating for three generations. These NCH fish thus provide a unique model to study the origin of mitochondria. Here we report the complete mtDNA sequence of the CyCa hybrid and its parental species carp and goldfish as nuclear donor and cytoplasm host, respectively. Interestingly, the mtDNA of NCH fish CyCa is 99.69% identical to the nuclear donor species carp, and 89.25% identical to the oocyte host species goldfish. Furthermore, an amino acid sequence comparison of 13 mitochondrial proteins reveals that CyCa is 99.68% identical to the carp and 87.68% identical to the goldfish. On an mtDNA-based phylogenetic tree, CyCa is clustered with the carp but separated from the goldfish. A real-time PCR analysis revealed the presence of carp mtDNA but the absence of goldfish mtDNA. These results demonstrate--for the first time to our knowledge--that the mtDNA of a NCH such as CyCa fish may originate from its nuclear donor rather than its oocyte host.

Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Carassius carassius was determined to be 16,597 bp long circular molecule with a typical gene arrangement of vertebrate mitochondrial DNA. Its control region contains two copies of unit (TTCYCAATATAA) at 3' ends, which has never been reported before for Carassius species. Phylogenetic trees based on 12 protein-coding genes on heavy strand confirmed that the complete mtDNA sequence of crucian carp was reported in this study for the first time.

Abstract
Sinocyclocheilus furcodorsalis, a typical cavefish, has evolved some striking characters, for example loss of its eyes and reduction in melanin pigmentation, and can serve as a good model system in evolutionary adaptation developmental mechanisms. So we cloned the complete mitochondrial DNA of S. furcodorsalis (16,581 bp), which is similar to those reported from other fish mitochondrial genomes, containing 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs) and a major noncoding control region. The complete mitogenome of the S. furcodorsalis provides an additional important data-set for the study in evolutionary adaptation developmental mechanisms.

Abstract
Both mitochondrial DNA sequence and two nuclear microsatellite markers were used to confirm the identity of the first record of Carassius auratus gibelio in the western (Swedish) Baltic Sea region. A total of 49 fishes were analysed, where 22 were from three Swedish sites connected to the Baltic Sea. The D-loop mitochondrial DNA sequences showed that 16 of 22 Swedish fishes were related to C. a. gibelio. The phylogenetic analysis of these sequences showed that these fish are probably not native, but represent different lineages of C. a. gibelio from China, Japan and Russia. All except three of these 16 fishes had microsatellite alleles suggesting hybridization with Carassius carassius. These findings suggest that a cryptic invasion of C. a. gibelio might be in progress.

Abstract
We determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences for two species of surface- and cave-dwelling-cyprinid fishes, Sinocyclocheilus grahami and S. altishoulderus. Sequence comparison of 13 protein-coding genes shows that the mutation pattern of each single gene is quite similar to those of other vertebrate animal species. Analysis of the ratios of Ka/Ks at these loci between Sinocyclocheilus and two other cyprinid species (Cyprinus carpio and Procypris rabaudi) show that Ka/Ks ratios are differed, consistent with purifying selection and variation in functional constraint among genes. Bayesian analysis and maximum likelihood analysis of the concatenated mitochondrial protein sequences for 14 cyprinid taxa support the monophyly of the family Cyprininae, and further confirm the monophyly of the genus Sinocyclocheilus. The two Sinocyclocheilus species fall within the Cyprinion-Onychostoma lineage, including Cyprinus, Carassius, and Procypris, rather than among the Barbinae, as previously suggested on morphological grounds.

Abstract
The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of Metazoa is a good model system for evolutionary genomic studies and the availability of more than 1000 sequences provides an almost unique opportunity to decode the mechanisms of genome evolution over a large phylogenetic range. In this paper, we review several structural features of the metazoan mtDNA, such as gene content, genome size, genome architecture and the new parameter of gene strand asymmetry in a phylogenetic framework. The data reviewed here show that: (1) the plasticity of Metazoa mtDNA is higher than previously thought and mainly due to variation in number and location of tRNA genes; (2) an exceptional trend towards stabilization of genomic features occurred in deuterostomes and was exacerbated in vertebrates, where gene content, genome architecture and gene strand asymmetry are almost invariant. Only tunicates exhibit a very high degree of genome variability comparable to that found outside deuterostomes. In order to analyse the genomic evolutionary process at short evolutionary distances, we have also compared mtDNAs of species belonging to the same genus: the variability observed in congeneric species significantly recapitulates the evolutionary dynamics observed at higher taxonomic ranks, especially for taxa showing high levels of genome plasticity and/or fast nucleotide substitution rates. Thus, the analysis of congeneric species promises to be a valuable approach for the assessment of the mtDNA evolutionary trend in poorly or not yet sampled metazoan groups.

Abstract
Rock carp, Procypris rabaudi (Tchang), is an endemic fish species in China. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of it by high-fidelity polymerase chain reaction with conserved primers and primer walking sequencing method. The complete mitochondrial genome of rock carp is 16595 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and one control region, with an identical order to that of most other vertebrates. The origin of L-strand replication (OL) in rock carp mitochondrion is located in a cluster of five tRNA genes (WANCY region) with 35 nucleotides in length. The control region is located between the tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe genes and is 943 bp in length. Three conserved sequence blocks (CSB), an extended termination associated sequence (ETAS), an AT-repeat microsatellite sequence and a putative promoter sequence for H-strand transcription (HSP) were identified within this region. The microsatellite sequence has a very low variation, with only one repeat alteration in 50 checked individuals (from 12 to 13 repeats). The phylogenetic analysis for rock carp was performed with Bayesian and Maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on the concatenated nucleotide sequence of 12 protein-coding genes on the heavy strand. The result suggested that traditional taxonomic barbines possibly originated more early than cyprininaes; rock carp was placed at the position between barbines and cyprininaes, while has a closer relationship with cyprininaes than barbines.
