Summary: This study investigated the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on lipid metabolism in grass carp. It was found that DHA promotes lipolysis by triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and activating the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of DHA-induced lipolysis and its potential as a nutritional strategy for reducing lipid accumulation in freshwater fish.

Summary: Arsenic is the primary toxicant among hazardous environmental chemicals, implicated in neurotoxicity such as cognitive dysfunction, neurodevelopmental changes, and neurodegenerative diseases. It is believed that sustained pro-inflammatory response may trigger arsenic-induced neurotoxicity, potentially involving microglia activation and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Further research is needed to clarify the role of these cytokines in arsenic-induced neurotoxicity.

Summary: A new in-pond tank culture system (IPTCS) based on the concept of pond partitioned aquaculture system was constructed in this study. The experiment focused on high and low stocking densities of grass carp and blunt snout bream. Results showed that high stocking density had a negative impact on growth performance and muscle quality, as well as water quality in the culture tank. Economic analysis revealed that high-density rearing of blunt snout bream led to higher income.

Summary: The present study demonstrated that selenium supplementation can enhance the resistance of cells to sodium nitrite exposure by alleviating the antioxidant imbalance, high apoptosis rate, and intracellular calcium ion disturbance caused by nitrite exposure. Pre-incubation of CIK cells with selenium maintained antioxidant indicators at normal levels and decreased intracellular calcium ion concentration and apoptotic rate compared to nitrite exposure. The Nrf2-Keap1 pathway may play an important role in mediating the protective effects of selenium against nitrite-induced oxidative damage.

Summary: This study explored the performance of the recirculating pond aquaculture system (RPAS) on grass carp. The results showed that RPAS had lower concentrations of nitrogen compounds in the water and led to higher growth rates and lower feed conversion rates in the fish. The expression of growth-related genes was also increased in the fish cultured in RPAS ponds. Additionally, RPAS helped reduce oxidative stress and enhance muscle umami flavor in the fish.

Summary: To control eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems, upgrading conventional constructed wetlands to aeration wetlands is common. However, efforts to reduce dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) discharge have overshadowed the importance of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). This study found that intermittent aeration in aeration wetlands introduces large amounts of DON and bioavailable DON in effluents, while decreasing total nitrogen (TN). The increase in DON discharge can influence phytoplankton composition and stimulate harmful species, indicating the need to regulate DON discharge alongside DIN.

The distribution of fish communities in the Hun River Basin showed spatial differences along the longitudinal gradient and was influenced by agricultural land, urban land, and grassland. The health status of the Hun River varied, with the upper and middle reaches being in better health and the lower reaches being poorer, mainly due to different levels of human activities.

Summary: Metabolomics studies were used to investigate the influence of the high-altitude aquatic environment on indigenous fish metabolites. Different metabolite concentrations were found in the livers of fish at high and low altitudes, indicating different metabolic processes such as oxidative stress, energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid metabolism. The mTOR signaling pathway, apoptosis, and lysosome were enriched between groups to ensure energy supply and limit tissue damage in fish at high altitudes. Nicotine and methoprene, two organic pollutants, showed different effects in fish at different altitudes. Overall, this study provides important insights into fish adaptation to high-altitude environments and organic contaminants pollution.

Summary: This study examined the effects of acute thermal stress on skeletal muscle growth and quality in gibel carp. Results showed that the muscle nutrient content was significantly higher at 20°C, with the muscle being more tender and elastic. The gene expression levels of the MRFs family were upregulated after 1 hour and gradually decreased. The study suggests that gibel carp can adapt to acute thermal stress to some extent, but it eventually leads to a decrease in muscle growth rate and quality.

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.
