Summary: The study revealed that the potential strain of thraustochytrids, Schizochytrium sp. (SMKK1), isolated from mangrove leaf litter, demonstrated high antioxidant activity and anti-colorectal cancer properties. The extract from this strain contained polyunsaturated fatty acids which showed promising effects against colon cancer protein IGF binding (IGF-1) through in silico docking method. The most effective compound was docosahexaenoic acid with a docking score of -10.8 Kcal/mol, all five fatty acids passed the ADMET test for further clinical trials for anticancer drug development.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of SFN on growth performance, innate immunity, and antioxidant capability of common carp. The results showed that fish fed with 10 mg/kg SFN exhibited higher weight gain rate and lower feed conversion ratio compared to other groups. Certain immune and antioxidant indicators in the plasma were significantly increased in the group fed with 10 mg/kg SFN. In conclusion, SFN could promote growth, enhance immunity and antioxidant capacity in fish, with the best effect observed at a dietary level of 10 mg/kg.

Summary: This study explored the bioaccumulation and biochemical status of Jian carp exposed to MPs and TC alone and combined. Results showed that MPs bioaccumulation was not affected by TC, but the presence of MPs changed TC content within 48 hours. Co-exposure to TC and MPs reduced oxidative damage and alleviated overexpression of immune-related genes in muscles compared to MP exposure alone.

Summary: In this study, metabolomics was used to investigate the impact of thermal stress on the metabolic profile of Qingtian paddy field carp. The results showed that thermal stress altered multiple metabolic pathways, including lipid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism. The findings clarify the molecular regulatory mechanism of PF carp adaptation to thermal stress and provide novel hypotheses for the biological regulation of other fish species under thermal stress.

Summary: Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, has been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulatory effects in fish. This study demonstrated that dietary supplementation of curcumin can protect fish against lead-induced toxicity by reducing lead accumulation, improving survival rates, reversing biochemical parameter changes, and enhancing immune responses.

Summary: The study illustrates that excessive lipid accumulation in farmed fish liver may be a protective response to exogenous fatty acids. Inhibition of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in grass carp hepatocytes shows that DGAT1 is responsible for lipid droplet formation while DGAT2 promotes lipid droplet fusion. This indicates a differential role of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in lipid metabolism and liver health in farmed fish.

Summary: The research revealed that the AIF gene in grass carp is widely expressed in various tissues and is involved in palmitic acid-induced lipoapoptosis. Treatment with PA increased CiAIF expression, induced ER stress, and apoptosis. CiAIF may play a key role in regulating physiological functions such as protein translation.

Summary: The chapter discusses the impact of insects in aquafeeds, suggesting a maximum threshold of 25-30% for insect inclusion in aquafeeds for uncompromised performance. It also identifies factors such as reduction in protein digestibility, imbalanced amino acid profile, and increasing levels of saturated fatty acids as major limitations for higher inclusion of insects in aquafeeds.

Summary: The present study used grass carp as a model and found that ER stress can significantly induce lipolysis. Further investigation revealed that PKA activation is involved in ER stress-induced lipolysis, particularly the catalytic subunit PRKACBa. Additionally, PKA regulates lipolysis by targeting mRNA level, protein, and enzyme activities of ATGL.
