Summary: In this study, the genetic architecture of early growth-related traits in the orange-spotted grouper was dissected using a genomewide association study. A total of 11 significantly associated SNPs located on three chromosomes were identified, explaining a proportion of phenotypic variance ranging from 5.15% to 6.89% for body weight, body length, and body height.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of diets containing different levels of hydrolyzed porcine mucosa on the growth performance, muscle nutrition composition, texture property, and gene expression related to muscle growth of hybrid groupers. The results showed that hybrid groupers fed a diet with 6% hydrolyzed porcine mucosa and 27% fish meal had comparable growth performance to the control group. Additionally, a diet containing 3% hydrolyzed porcine mucosa upregulated gene expressions related to muscle growth and improved muscle quality. An appropriate amount of hydrolyzed porcine mucosa could be effectively used in grouper feed.

Summary: An 8-week feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary histamine on the growth performance, digestive physiology function and muscle quality of hybrid grouper. The results showed that high levels of histamine significantly decreased the activities of digestive enzymes, damaged the gastric and intestinal mucosa, disrupted the intestinal tight junction structure, and affected the muscle quality of the grouper.

Summary: The optimum threonine requirement for maximum growth of juvenile hybrid grouper was estimated to be 11.48 g/kg of dry matter. The mRNA expression of hepatic growth hormone receptor 1 was higher in fish fed diets with 11.5 and 13.7 g/kg dietary threonine. Fish fed diets with 5.4 g/kg threonine had the lowest whole-body protein contents and expression of hepatic target of rapamycin and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1.

Summary: The study conducted a genome-wide association study on the resistance of giant groupers to red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV), identifying SNP loci and candidate genes that are significantly associated with RGNNV resistance. G protein-coupled receptor 143 (gpr143) was identified as a candidate gene for disease resistance in giant groupers.

Summary: Grouper culture in Malaysia is expanding due to high demand, but infectious diseases like vibriosis are causing increased mortality rates and affecting production. This study focused on the metabolic profiling of infected grouper fed with different fatty acid diets to improve growth and health. The results showed that oleic acid as an immunostimulant had a strong impact on immune-related metabolites in infected grouper.

Summary: Due to the shortage of fish meal supply, better protein substitutes, such as soy-based protein, are needed for aquaculture. However, using soy-based protein at high proportions in fish feed can lead to enteritis and intestinal injury. This research examines the effects of substituting soybean protein concentrate for fish meal on the growth and intestinal balance of pearl gentian groupers and investigates the mechanism of soybean protein-induced enteritis.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary conventional (CSW) or hydrolyzed (HSW) stickwater from skipjack tuna by-product on the growth and feed utilization of hybrid grouper. The results showed that replacing fish meal (FM) with hydrolyzed stickwater (HSW) improved growth rate and feed efficiency in the fish.

Summary: The study presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Poropuntius huangchuchieni, revealing its importance for understanding polyploid evolution in the Cyprinidae family. Evolutionary analysis indicates the divergence of P. huangchuchieni from Cyprinus carpio and gene comparison provides insights into chromosomal rearrangements during allotetraploid speciation. This comprehensive genomic dataset serves as a reference for the evolution and adaptation of allotetraploid carps.

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: In this study, a genome-wide significant QTL interval controlling cold-tolerance trait in tilapia was identified using ddRAD-seq-based QTL mapping. Six pairs of microsatellite markers were successfully developed within this interval. The reliability of the detected QTLs was confirmed through independent testing, and the expression of candidate genes within the QTL interval was significantly affected under cold treatment. This study provides important information for marker-assisted selection of cold tolerant tilapia lines.
