Summary: The study showed that B. safensis NPUST1 can improve growth and immune response in Nile tilapia, enhancing weight gain, feed efficiency, specific growth rate, digestive enzymes, and immune parameters. It also decreased mortality rate, improved gut microbiota, and showed potential as a probiotic in aquaculture with the optimal dosage of 10(6) CFU/g.

Summary: The supplementation of N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) has been shown to promote the synthesis of arginine, improve physiological parameters, and modulate gut function in fish. This study found that NCG supplementation in tilapia led to higher weight gain and specific growth rates, as well as a reshaping of the gut microbiota community with an enrichment in nutritional metabolism related functions. Furthermore, key bacterial taxa identified in response to NCG supplementation played a fundamental role in nitrogen-fixing, indicating potential benefits in amino acid biosynthesis and growth promotion in tilapia.

Summary: This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of zafirlukast, an antagonist of cysteinyl leukotriene receptors, in Oreochromis niloticus during acute inflammatory reaction induced by Aeromonas hydrophila bacterins. The results showed that zafirlukast treatment dose-dependently reduced the accumulation of inflammatory cells, particularly granulocytes and macrophages. Zafirlukast-treated fish also exhibited decreased blood leukocyte counts and reactive oxygen species production.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of Lactobacillus reuteri as a dietary supplement on growth performance, nutrient retention, gut health, and gut microbiota diversity in juvenile Nile tilapia. The results showed that supplementation with L. reuteri improved growth performance, nutrient retention, intestinal morphology, expression of intestinal tight junction proteins, and modified the gut microbiota composition.

Summary: The study revealed that in-situ produced biofloc significantly increased the prokaryotic diversity in tilapia gut, while dietary supplementation of processed biofloc only changed the relative abundance of minor prokaryotic taxa. The growth-promoting effect was only detected in the in-situ biofloc treatment, while dietary supplementation of processed biofloc had no effect on fish growth performance.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary chitooligosaccharide supplementation on the growth and immune function of Nile tilapia. The results showed that chitooligosaccharide improved the growth performance and innate immunity of the fish, while reducing mortality rates when challenged with pathogens.

Summary: The gut epithelia of animals house complex microbial communities that play a crucial role in maintaining immune and cellular homeostasis. These microbial populations have adapted to the gut environment and regulate intestinal stem cells, promoting a healthy gut barrier and epithelial self-renewal. Disruption of these populations is associated with inflammatory disorders and cancerous lesions of the intestine, but the molecular mechanisms controlling gut-microbe interactions are still not fully understood.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of BaP on the gut microbiome of Oreochromis niloticus. Dysbiosis was observed at 24 hours post-injection, followed by a slight recovery at 72 hours and stabilization at 120 hours. The gut microbiome played a significant role in PAH degradation mainly at 24 hours post-injection.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of mango peel powder (MGPP) on the growth, innate immunity, and immune-antioxidant related gene expression of Nile tilapia. The results showed that dietary inclusion of MGPP 25 significantly enhanced immune response and immune related gene expressions, but had no significant effect on growth performance and antioxidant gene expressions. These findings suggest that MGPP could be used as an immunostimulant in Nile tilapia culture.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of diet on the dynamics of gut microbiota in Nile tilapia. The results demonstrated that different diet types have a significant effect on the intestinal microbiota of tilapia in their early life stages. These findings provide valuable information for studying the microbial community in the gut of tilapia and suggest the potential for modulating the gut microbiota in the early life stages of these fish.

Summary: The porewater from 35 sampling stations of eight streams in southern Taiwan were tested for toxic effects using amphipod and zebrafish embryos. While some PAHs and heavy metals were not detected, there were still concerns about potential adverse impacts on aquatic life and human health. The zebrafish embryo test indicated that heart rate and survival were significantly reduced with all porewater samples, suggesting potential cardiovascular effects for fish exposed to contaminated river conditions. Further analysis revealed correlations between certain PAHs and toxic effects of metals, with fluorene showing a high correlation.
