Summary: In this study, the immunotoxicity of silver nanoparticles on whiteleg shrimp was assessed by monitoring the activity of certain enzymes, as well as the changes in antioxidant capacity and oxidative damage markers. It was found that silver nanoparticles caused severe immunotoxicity in the hepatopancreas tissue of whiteleg shrimp through the suppression of certain enzymes and antioxidant capacity.

Summary: This study analyzed the GPx4 gene in Litopenaeus vannamei and evaluated its responses to hypoxia and p53 knock-down. The findings suggest that GPx4 may serve as a sensitive indicator of antioxidant imbalance during hypoxia and that p53 modulates GPx4 responses during stress. The study also highlights the effectiveness of the antioxidant response in preventing protein damage during hypoxia.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of microplastics (MPs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), alone or in combination, on the hepatopancreas of whiteleg shrimp. The results showed evident histological injury, elevation in hepatic lesion markers, disruption of metabolism and detoxification processes, alterations in antioxidant enzymes, and oxidative damage to the hepatopancreas. Furthermore, accumulation of HBCD in shrimp and increased toxicity of HBCD-MP coexposure were observed.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different concentrations of zinc on the growth performance, morphological changes, physiological changes, and gene expression in white shrimp hepatopancreas. The results showed that high concentrations of zinc significantly reduced survival rate and growth performance, and caused structural damage and zinc accumulation in the hepatopancreas. Zinc exposure led to decreased activities of digestive enzymes and total antioxidant capacity, and increased production of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde. Transcriptome analysis revealed many differentially expressed genes, and qRT-PCR validation confirmed the accuracy of the results. The study demonstrated that zinc exposure caused severe histopathological changes and altered immune, antioxidant, and detoxifying responses by regulating gene expressions.

Summary: This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of 4-NP toxicity in the hepatopancreas of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) through transcriptomic analysis. The results revealed that 4-NP exposure induced the expression of genes in L. vannamei to resist adverse environments, while prolonged exposure to 4-NP resulted in more inhibited genes. Furthermore, specific pathways related to hormonal effects and endocrine function were significantly enriched after 4-NP stress. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying 4-NP toxicity effects in prawns and enrich the understanding of the toxicity mechanism of crustaceans in response to endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the stress reaction of pacific white shrimp under acute alkalinity stress through histological observation, physiological determination, and transcriptome analysis. The results showed that the functions of homeostasis regulation, antioxidation, and digestion of pacific white shrimp were decreased under acute alkalinity stress, and different degrees of tissue damage occurred in the gill and hepatopancreas. Transcriptome analysis revealed that alkalinity stress-related genes were primarily involved in fatty acid metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. This study provides important insights into the response mechanism of pacific white shrimp under acute alkalinity stress.

Summary: This study evaluates the effects of microplastic exposure through diet on Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp for seven days. Results show that microplastics were detected in the shrimp's gills, muscles, and hepatopancreas, and caused disruption in redox cells, lipid and DNA damage, as well as histopathological alterations such as edema and granuloma formation. These findings suggest that microplastic exposure can impact the health and welfare of L. vannamei shrimp and potentially affect the final consumers.

Summary: An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on growth performance, immune response, and disease resistance for juvenile whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. The results showed that supplementing 100 mg of GABA per kilogram of diet significantly improved the growth performance and disease resistance of the shrimp.

Summary: Despite little knowledge about the interrelationships among GPx isoforms in shrimp, GPx2 and GPx4 exhibit similar expression patterns during hypoxia and reoxygenation. GPx4 knock-down down-regulates GPx2 expression, suggesting that GPx4 affects GPx2 expression. Total GPx activity changes during hypoxia and reoxygenation, while GPx4 activity is unaffected by any stressor. The GSH/GSSG ratio in hepato-pancreas remains well-modulated at early hours but is impaired at 12 hours due to hypoxia and reoxygenation.

Summary: A novel member of DM9 domain containing protein, CgDM9CP-4, was identified from Pacific oyster, shown to be a mannose-specific binding pattern-recognition receptor enriched in hemocytes and gill. Its transcripts level were decreased after various pathogen stimulations. The recombinant protein displayed broad binding spectrum and was mainly expressed in non-phagocytic cells. This suggests its potential role in immune recognition of pathogens.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
