Summary: The immune-suppressed model of Nile tilapia can be induced by intraperitoneal injection of Cyclophosphamide at a dosage of 200 mg/kg BW, leading to significant decreases in various immune-related parameters.

Summary: Genetic diversity within and between different generations and cultured populations of Oreochromis niloticus in Ghana was assessed using microsatellite markers, revealing high genetic diversity among generations and moderate genetic structuring among cultured populations. Analysis of Molecular variance (AMOVA) showed more genetic divergence within populations than among populations, suggesting high mixing of stocks and sharing of different genetic backgrounds. The study demonstrates that microsatellite markers are a simple and efficient method for studying genetic diversity.

Summary: The study identified a lect2 gene from Nile tilapia (On-lect2) and characterized its roles in the fish's immune response against bacterial infection. On-LECT2 plays important functions in promoting inflammation, reducing tissue damages, and improving survival rate of Nile tilapia during bacterial infection, with the highest transcriptional levels in the liver.

Summary: This study focused on genotyping Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from diseased Nile tilapia, identifying virulence genes and resistance profiles. Results showed high prevalence of A. hydrophila in Nile tilapia with diverse antimicrobial resistance and virulence profiles. The study highlights the importance of monitoring and controlling MDR A. hydrophila in aquaculture.

Summary: Mathematical models can be used to estimate the body composition of fish without sacrificing animals. In this study, Nile tilapia body composition data were collected from 138 scientific publications, and predictive models were developed using different combinations of models and calibration methods. The results showed that model predictions are influenced by the type of model, calibration method, and amount of calibration data available. The best predictive models for Nile tilapia body composition were the allometric model and a robust hybrid model, both calibrated assuming multiplicative error.

Summary: Exposure to Butylparaben (BuP) induces darker skin pigmentation in Nile tilapia by interfering with melanin synthesis genes and neurotransmitter levels. BuP inhibits phototransduction from the retina to the brain, resulting in increased melanin synthesis and decreased opsin expression.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the potential effects of microplastics (MPs) on aquaculture organisms in biofloc systems. The results showed that MPs had minimal impact on water quality, fish growth, and digestive enzyme activity, but significantly affected the liver, muscle composition, and antioxidant response of the fish. However, MPs did not have a significant influence on the microbial communities.

Summary: This study examined the variations in the gut microbiota of Nile tilapia across an altitudinal gradient in Ethiopia. The results showed that altitude can modulate the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota in Nile tilapia. Some shared bacterial communities were also detected.

Summary: This study discovered an IL8 gene from Nile tilapia and found that it plays a crucial role in acute bacterial infections. The gene codes for 94 amino acids and is highly expressed in the head-kidney tissue and induced by Streptococcus agalactiae and Aeromonas hydrophila. In vitro experiments showed that IL8 regulates various immune processes and promotes inflammation. These findings are significant for further understanding the protective effects of IL8 in bony fish against bacterial infections.

Summary: This study investigates the function of Gsdf in fish ovary development using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The results indicate that Gsdf functions together with the TGF-beta signaling pathway to control ovary development and fertility. Mutated ovaries show hyperplasia, but differential expression of key genes involved in ovary development is observed.

Summary: In this study, the effects of florfenicol (FFC) on Oreochromis niloticus juveniles were investigated. The results showed that FFC caused a reduction in feed intake, survival, and biomass, as well as abnormalities in hematological, erythrocytic, and serum biochemical indices. However, most of the measured parameters and histopathological changes recovered within 3 weeks after the suspension of FFC dosing, indicating that the therapeutic dose of FFC is reversible and safe for O. niloticus.
