Summary: Despite being the most common and widely distributed genus of freshwater fish in eastern Australia, the carp gudgeons of eastern Australia (genus Hypseleotris) have posed taxonomic and ecological challenges to scientists since the 19th century. Recent molecular studies have shed light on the complex biology and evolutionary history of this species, revealing a sexual/unisexual complex and co-occurrence with the western carp gudgeon (H. klunzingeri). This study provides a detailed molecular phylogeographic assessment of the western carp gudgeon and demonstrates taxonomic and phylogeographic complexity. The results highlight the presence of multiple candidate species and a natural hybrid zone, providing a framework for future research on this important species.

Summary: Fish processing waste can serve as a potential and cost-effective source of collagen. In this study, collagen was extracted from the skin of purple-spotted bigeye snapper using different acid soluble collagens (ASC) and pepsin soluble collagens (PSC). The highest collagen yield was obtained from PSC, followed by AAC, CAC, and LAC. The extracted collagens exhibited desirable properties for various applications, particularly in the food industry.

Summary: This study examined the genetic diversity of the snakehead gudgeon populations in six lakes in the Philippines. The results showed high levels of genetic and haplotype diversity among different populations. There was geographic separation between the populations in the southern and northern lakes, and it was found that the snakehead gudgeon in Lake Lanao may have originated from Lake Mainit. Despite the overall high genetic diversity, conservation and fishery management plans are still necessary to sustainably harvest this fish and maintain genetic diversity.

Summary: Two multiplex microsatellite polymerase chain reaction systems were developed for parentage assignment in orange-spotted groupers, with high exclusion probability values. The accuracy and success rate of the tests for mixed families and wild populations were both high, demonstrating the reliability of the microsatellite-based assay for parentage assignment in this species.

Summary: The study reveals the importance of fish physiology and behavior in the interpretation of eDNA quantities, with differences found between species. Through experiments, it was demonstrated that fish activity levels and energy use are positively correlated with target eDNA quantities, highlighting the need to incorporate species-specific traits into eDNA monitoring and conservation efforts.

Summary: This study investigated the defatting of purple-spotted bigeye fish skin to obtain lipid for gelatine production. Lipid was extracted using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), with the optimal drying temperature found to be 80°C. The highest extraction rate was achieved at 30°C with UAE using ethanol (UAEE) and sequential UAE using hexane (UAEH), resulting in a maximum percentage of total lipid recovery of 91.326%. The quality analysis showed that the extracted lipid is suitable for industry, while the remaining solids can be used for gelatine production.

Summary: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a highly destructive virus for pepper. The development of resistance-breaking (RB) variants threatens the pepper industry. In this study, a multiplex reverse-transcription PCR assay was developed for high specificity and sensitivity detection of recently emerged Tsw RB variants in South Korea.

Summary: This study developed a new set of universal PCR primers for eDNA metabarcoding and successfully identified 27 fish species in Lake Gehu, China. Comparison with traditional capture methods showed that eDNA metabarcoding data were more consistent. The study highlights the effectiveness of eDNA in assessing freshwater fish communities.

Summary: This study introduces a novel single-cell gene expression analysis technique that can detect multiple targets in over 100,000 single cells simultaneously with rapid readout. The technology uses microdroplet-based one-step RT-PCR to analyze gene expression in single cells, and utilizes a probabilistic deconvolution method to generate single-cell gene signature profiles and predict cell frequencies.

Summary: A one-step multiplex RT-PCR (mRT-PCR) assay was developed to detect and distinguish different genotypes and reassortant strains of NNV in Mediterranean aquaculture. The method is accurate, rapid, and affordable, providing a valuable tool for the diagnosis of NNV.
