Summary: This study investigates the effects of dietary soybean lecithin (SL) inclusion on the growth performance, liver metabolism, resistance to hypoxia stress, and potential molecular mechanisms in rock bream larvae. The results show that dietary SL inclusion promotes growth performance, survival rate, stress resistance, and improves intestinal structure. Additionally, a high SL inclusion diet increases the activity of lipolysis-related enzymes in liver tissue but decreases the activity of amino acid catabolism-related enzymes.

Summary: Genomic selection has the potential to improve breeding value accuracy of economically vital growth-related traits in the O. fasciatus population. The underlying genetic architecture of body weight, total length, and body depth traits was found to be polygenic, and different statistical models showed similar performance in predicting genomic estimated breeding values. The study suggests that low SNP density is sufficient for accurate prediction in breeding populations of O. fasciatus.

Summary: This study aims to develop a safe and efficient inactivated (IV) vaccine against rock bream iridovirus (RBIV). The evaluation results show that saponin (Sa) acts as an adjuvant to induce antiviral immune response and protect rock bream from RBIV infection. The Sa-adjuvanted IV vaccine significantly improves fish survivability through upregulation of IL1 beta, Mx, and PKR gene transcript. It provides strong protection against reinfection with RBIV.

Summary: In this study, a PCR method was developed to identify sex-specific sequences in rock bream using next-generation sequencing. Sex-specific genomic regions/loci were discovered on chromosomes 2 and 6, and candidate sex-determining genes were detected. A male-specific 34-bp deletion on chromosome 2 was identified as a molecular marker for sex determination in rock bream. This study provides insights into the mechanism of sex determination in rock bream and is important for future genomic research and aquaculture practice.

Summary: Red sea bream iridoviral disease (RSIVD) causes significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry. This study evaluated the dynamics of RSIV in rock bream under different water temperatures and RSIV inoculation concentrations. High viral copy numbers were observed during the period of fish mortality after RSIV infection at all concentrations in the tanks with high water temperatures. The study also found that the number of viral copies shed into the rearing seawater varied depending on the RSIV infection level in rock bream. These findings highlight the potential of non-invasive virus detection approaches and the quantitative analysis of seawater viruses in understanding and controlling fish diseases.

Summary: We investigated the early gonadal development in rock bream through histological observations. Females showed earlier differentiation compared to males. Treatment with letrozole (LTZ) and 17 alpha-methyltestosterone (MT) resulted in complete masculinization of genotype-females, while 17beta-estradiol (E-2) only partially feminized genotype-males. These findings contribute to the understanding of sex determination and differentiation in fishes with the X1X2Y sex chromosome system and provide a sex reversal protocol for rock bream.

Summary: In this study, we identified a mutant in the ZmPRR37 gene through Ac/Ds transposon and transposable element amplicon sequencing techniques, which showed a significant correlation with flowering time in maize. We found that ZmPRR37 delays flowering by repressing the expression of ZmNF-YC2 and ZmNF-YA3. Additionally, ZmPRR37 enhances salt stress tolerance in maize by directly regulating the expression of ABA-responsive gene ZmDhn1.

Summary: This study investigated the metabolic responses in rock bream infected with RBIV using HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy, revealing significant metabolic pathways related to energy metabolism in the liver of heavily infected fish. Lightly infected fish may have survived from heavy infection after 3 weeks. RBIV induced rapid and high energy production in the spleen, while disturbances in metabolism related to the immunological response were observed in the kidney.

Summary: The photoperiod, as an important environmental signal, plays a crucial role in regulating plant developmental processes and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. GIGANTEA (GI) is highlighted as a key regulator in the photoperiod-dependent flowering and stress responses. The photoperiod also regulates the redox state of plants.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate on juvenile hybrid grouper and found that supplementing with vitamin C improved growth performance and survival rates while reducing total feed intake. Hepatic VC concentration was positively correlated with dietary VC supplementation, reaching saturation at 386 mg/kg. Feeding diets without VC may lead to higher serum protein levels and skeletal deformities.

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.
