Summary: This study compared the transcriptome of Litopenaeus vannamei Zoea larvae and adults infected by Vibrio parahaemolyticus using high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The results showed that pathways involved in the innate immune response were more enriched in the Zoea stage compared to the adult stage, suggesting the existence of innate immunity against Vibrio vulnificus during the Zoea larvae stage. These findings provide useful information for the study of innate immunity in shrimp larvae.

Summary: Marine feed ingredients from cephalopods and crustaceans are commonly used to enhance shrimp diet palatability, but overfishing of these marine organisms due to increasing global shrimp demand raises concerns. Insect protein hydrolysate shows potential as a sustainable alternative, with higher palatability enhancement compared to squid meal and krill oil.

Summary: Intensive shrimp farming is threatened by microcystins, specifically MC-LR, which affects the hepatopancreas of shrimp. In a study on MC-LR exposure in L. vannamei shrimp, RNA-seq and miRNA-seq expression profiles were analyzed, and data integration was performed. Significant differential expression of genes and miRNAs were observed, with a focus on pathways related to oxidative activity and protein degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum. A regulatory network involving miR-181-5p was constructed, indicating its potential role in MC-LR toxicity and protein degradation pathways. These findings provide insights into the effects of MC-LR on shrimp and their detoxification mechanisms.

Summary: This study evaluates the effect of different levels of frass on the growth performance, composition, and hemolymph parameters of Pacific white shrimp. The results show that frass can be incorporated in shrimp diets up to 30% without affecting their growth performance, body composition, and hemolymph parameters. Additionally, feeding frass can enhance the shrimp's antibacterial ability.

Summary: The present study compared genetic evaluations for the time of death and survival of white spot syndrome in Pacific white shrimp using pedigree-based and genomic-based methods. Genotypes of 1685 shrimps were obtained using a commercial 50K SNP panel, and 176 families were formed. Four approaches were used to estimate genetic or genomic breeding values, and the heritability values obtained ranged from 0.072 to 0.105. Using genomic information improved the accuracy of breeding value estimates compared to using only pedigree information. Genomic selection allows for individual selection within families and increases resistance to the white spot syndrome virus.

Summary: A new lethal disease called glass post-larval disease has emerged in shrimp hatcheries in China since late 2019. This disease affects 6 - 12-day-old post-larvae of Penaeus vannamei and causes over 90% mortality within 24 - 48 hours. The disease is caused by highly lethal Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains and is a serious threat to shrimp aquaculture.

Summary: The insulin signaling pathway is crucial in various physiological aspects, with insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) playing a key role. This study identified and analyzed three IGFBP genes in the Pacific white shrimp genome, showing that LvIGFBP1 has multiple domains and higher expression levels compared to LvIGFBP2 and LvIGFBP3. RNA interference of LvIGFBP1 resulted in a significant decrease in shrimp body weight increment, indicating its importance in growth regulation.

Summary: Chitin synthesis genes typically occur in single or two copies in crustaceans, while chitin degradation genes are all multiple copies. Chitinase genes are significantly expanded in most crustacean genomes. The gene structure and expression pattern of these genes are similar to those of insects, albeit with some specific characteristics.

Summary: Research suggests that genomic tRNA content influences protein synthesis efficiency in sea cucumbers, while codon usage optimization is mostly constrained by a gene's amino acid sequence. The positive correlation between genomic tRNA content and amino acid content in natural food particles of sea cucumbers enhances their efficiency in protein synthesis.

Summary: The study reveals that the deep-sea giant isopod Bathynomus jamesi has a large genome size primarily due to transposable elements, with expanded gene families related to thyroid and insulin hormone signaling contributing to its large body size. Transcriptomic analysis suggests specific gene families related to glycolysis and vesicular transport are expressed in its digestive organs. Comparative genomics and gene expression analyses show that B. jamesi has inefficient lipid degradation, low basal metabolic rate, and bulk food storage, indicating that giant isopods have evolved efficient mechanisms for nutrient absorption, storage, and utilization to sustain their large body size in deep-sea environments.
