Androgen plays an important role in the regulation of gonadotropin production in vertebrates . We have investigated the transcriptional pattern of androgen receptor (AR) in a variety of tissues in maturing male and female goldfish by RT-PCR. Specific primer for AR was designed based on goldfish AR gene from the GenBank (accession number AY090897). AR was shown 10 be maturity- and tissue-dependent gene expression pattern in goldfish. In immature male goldfish, significantly higher transcript level of AR was observed in the pituitary und testis , compared [0 brain and liver. Mature male goldfish showed a similar expression pattern to immature male goldfish. Interestingly. when compare to male goldfish, female goldfish showed AR mRNA expression that was found 10 be weak in pituitary, and very low expression in brain. They could not be found 10 have expression in any other tissues. Taken together. the- transcriptional analysis of AR depending on the tissue, sex. and maturity of a goldfish provides the opportunity for the study of goldfish reproductive physiology ,The results provided for the first time a comparison of the tissue distribution of AR mRNA in sexually maturating male and female goldfish.

Goldfish hematopoietic necrosis (GHN) affects hematopoietic organs and causes high mortality in goldfish. The causative agent of GHN is cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2). The purpose of this study was to detect CyHV-2 in ornamental cyprinid fish. CyHV-2 monitoring was conducted on a monthly basis for 1 year using goldfish Carassius auratus and pearlscale goldfish Carassius auratus that had been cultured at a domestic aquafarm and imported from Singapore, respectively. The results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays using specific primers for the CyHV-2 helicase gene showed that 27.8% of goldfish and 33.3% of pearlscale goldfish were positive for CyHV-2. No cytophatic effects were detected in koi fin or common carp brain cells inoculated with tissue homogenates from either fish. Our data provides the useful data for establishing future quarantine and disinfection policies.

This study examined whether the connexin (Cx) is an essential protein during oocyte maturation in the ovary of the goldfish (Carassius auratus). In mature female goldfish ovaries, at late vitellogenic stage, human insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I; 20 M) and human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG; 20 IU/㎖) were injected. Twelve hr after the injection, mature female goldfish ovaries were removed and stored at -80C until analysis by RT-PCR. From the goldfish Cx43 cDNA sequence (GenBank accession number AB078505), two degenerate primers were designated. In vivo, 12 hr after the treatment with hCG, goldfish Cx43 mRNA expression level was increased, while the levels of IGF-I was not changed. Goldfish Cx43 mRNA expressed after, but not before the hCG treatment. These results suggest that Cx43 mRNA was judged to be a gene, which was transcribed during oocyte maturation induced by hCG.

Conncxin (Cx) is an important and essential protein induction of oocyte maturation, which is present in almost all mammalian tissucs except cirulating blood cells and adult skeletal museles. In this study, goldfish Cx43 cDNA sequence is available in GenBank under the accession number AB078505. Homology analyses using the GenBank and EMBL general database searches indicated that goldfish Cx43 cDNA has a high homology with carp Cx43 (95.1% identity), zebrafish Cx43 (90.5% identity), and chicken Cx43 (81.9% identity). Goldfish Cx43 is similar to the Cx family in its general features, and all the typical Cx consensus sequences are also found. Moreover, significantly increased Cx43 transcrpts were observed in mature goldfish (GSI; 18.3-21.7) pituitary and ovary when compared with immature goldfish (GSI; 4.9-6.0). Cx43 transeripts were weakly detectrd in both liver and kidney of immature and mature goldfish. There is possible that Cx43 nctivity was relation to oocyte maturation in the goldfish.

3D-PTV measurement was conducted on the wake of a goldfish in order to understand its swimming motions. The measurement system consisted of three CCD cameras, an image grabber, an Ar-Ion laser and a host computer. The flow properties of the wake of the goldfish were measured under three different velocities of the currents. Unsteady flow structures around the goldfish were quantitatively clarified using the time-consecutive instantaneous three-dimensional vectors obtained by the constructed 3D-PTV system.

The effect of various surfactants on the absorption of antipyrine was studied using goldfish and rat. The results are as follows. The threshold concentration of antipyrine was reduced by various surfactants. Overturn time and death time of goldfish, in solution containing different concentration of antipyrine was reduced by the presence of various surfactants. Plots of reciprocal death time versus antipyrine concentration were linear with a positive concentration intercept such as minimum effective concentration. The absorption of antipyrine from rat small intestine was increased by administration with surfactants. As results, is believed to be one of rendering the goldfish membrane or rat small intestine more permeable to antipyrine.

This study was performed to investigate the difference in species of test fish on the determination of short-term bioconcentration factor in zebrafish(Brachydanio rerio), red sword tail(Xiphophorus hellieri) and goldfish(Carassius auratus). Experimental concentrations of carbamates were 0.05 and 0.10 ppm and chlorothalonil were 0.005 and 0.01 ppm for 3 and 5 days, respectively. This paper reports the measured BCF value on pesticides in various species of test fish, under steady state, and examined correlation between the BCF value and depuration rate constant or LC$_{50}$ or lipid content. Carbamates and chlorothalonil concentration in fish extract and BCF of carbamate and chlorothalonil were increased as incresing test concentration. Carbamates concentration in fish extract and BCF of carbamate were decreased as incresing test period, but chlorothalonil concentration in fish extract and BCF of chlorothalonil were increased as prolonging test period. Determined pesticide concentration in fish extract and BCF were highest in red sword tail, and followed by goldfish, and zebrafish. Determined depuration rate constant were highest in zebrafish, and followed by goldfish, and red sword tail. 96hr-LC$_{50}$ were highest in red sword tail, and followed by zebrafish, and goldfish. Lipid compositions were highest in red sword tail, and followed by goldfish, and zebrafish. Therefore, it is suggested that the difference of BCF between each pesticide due to those of lipid composition of fish and deputation rate constant, while LC$_{50}$ have no effect on BCF.

In this study, we obtained the fertilized eggs from goldfish(Carassius auratus) and observed normal developmental stage(from fertilized eggs to larvae) in non-exposed groups. Goldfish embryos at 3 h postfertilization(hpf) were statically exposed for 1 h to either dimethylsufoxide(DMSO, 0.1%, v/v) or TCDD($0.5{\mu}g/L$). Toxicity and morphological changes were characterized from 3 to 120 h postfertilization(hpf). Egg mortality($0{\sim}48$ hpf) and hatching ratio($72{\sim}83$ hpf) in TCDD-exposed group were significantly different from control groups. However, pericardial edema was first observed at 72 hpf, followed by the onset of yolk sac edema and mortality. In addition, goldfish embryos-larvae exposed to TCDD significantly increased TCDD-related gene such as CYP1A($24{\sim}72$ hpf) and AhR2(72 hpf). This is the first study about in-depth characterization of TCDD-induced developmental toxicity in goldfish(Carassius auratus).

생리활성을 지닌 신경펩타이드의 구조와 활성간의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 고상법으로 합성한 세 종류의 neuropeptide $\gamma$(mammalian-, trout- 그리고 goldfish-neu-ropeptide $\gamma$)를 사용하여 연구하였다. Circular dichroism spectra에 의하면 mammalian-, trout-와 goldfish-neurope-ptide $\gamma$는 완충액 조건하에서 모두 random한 구조를 나타내었다. 중성 및 산성 지질 존재 하에서, mammalian과 trout-neuropeptide $\gamma$는 여전히 random한 구조를 취했다. 그러나, goldfish-neuropeptide $\gamma$는 중성 및 산성지질하에서 부분적으로 $\alpha-helix$ 구조를 나타내었다. 장관 수축활성 에 있어서는 carp 장관, guinea-pig 회장 그리고 rat 십이지장에 대하여 비교하였다. Carp에 대해서는 goldfish-neuropeptide $\gamma\;\simeq$ trout-neuropeptide $\gamma\;>$ mammalian- neuropeptide $\gamma$ 순으로 활성이 나타났다. 그러나, guinea-pig 회장과 rat 십이지장에 대해서 mammalian-neuropeptide $\gamma$는 어류 유래성 neuropeptide g들 보다 높은 수축활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들은 neuropeptide $\gamma$들이 종-특이적인 활성을 나타낸다는 것을 제시한다.

Induced activation of the gamma-aminobutyric $acid_A$ ($GABA_A$) receptor in the retina of goldfish caused the fish to rotate in the opposite direction to that of the spinning pattern during an optomotor response (OMR) measurement. Muscimol, a $GABA_A$ receptor agonist, modified OMR in a concentration-dependent manner. The $GABA_B$ receptor agonist baclofen and $GABA_C$ receptor agonist CACA did not affect OMR. The observed modifications in OMR included decreased anterograde rotation $(0.01\sim0.03\;{\mu}M)$, coexistence of retrograde rotation and decreased anterograde rotation $(0.1\sim30\;{\mu}M)$ and only retrograde rotation $(100\;{\mu}M\sim1\;mM)$. In contrast, the $GABA_A$ receptor antagonist bicuculline blocked muscimol-induced retrograde rotation. Based on these results, we inferred that the coding inducing retrograde movement of the goldfish retina is essentially associated with the GABAA receptor-related visual pathway. Furthermore, from our novel approach using observations of goldfish behavior the induced discrete snapshot duration was approximately 573 ms when the fish were under the influence of muscimol.
