Summary: In this study, integrated mRNA and miRNA expression analysis was used to explore the resistance mechanisms of large yellow croaker (L. crocea) against Cryptocaryon irritans infection. The results showed that differentially expressed miRNA target mRNAs were enriched in different immune-related pathways after infection. It was also found that certain DEMs, such as miR-133a-3p, miR-142a-3p, and miR-135c, may activate the necroptosis pathway to enhance inflammation responses and pathogen elimination, thus regulating the resistance of L. crocea against C. irritans infection.

Summary: Cryptocaryon irritans, the main pathogen of white spot disease in marine teleosts, is influenced by abiotic factors such as pH. This study examined the effect of pH on the life cycle of C. irritans and found that pH 6-9 is the optimal range for reproduction and infectivity. Extreme pH negatively affects the cleavage, hatching, and infectivity of the parasites.

Summary: Cryptocaryonosis, a disease that causes economic losses in large yellow croaker culture, can be controlled by using copper plates to reduce the hatching rate and affect the internal structure and copper concentration of Cryptocaryon irritans. Transcriptome analysis showed enrichment of certain GO terms and pathways, suggesting that the killing effect of copper plates may be mediated by ribosomal proteins and protein complexes.

Summary: This study used dual RNA-seq technology to study the gene expression dynamics of large yellow croaker and Cryptocaryon irritans during infection. The results showed enhanced metabolism and immune regulatory pathway activation in large yellow croaker, while increased proliferation and synthesis of surface antigens were observed in C. irritans. Protein-protein interaction analysis identified hub genes in both species, and correlation studies found hif1 alpha and mcm7 to be significantly related to the infection process. This study provides valuable insights into the molecular regulation mechanism of large yellow croaker after C. irritans infection and establishes a theoretical basis for future host-pathogen interaction research.

Summary: The study evaluated the protective efficacy of a recombinant surface antigen in preventing Cryptocaryon irritans infection in Larimichthys crocea. Fish immunized with the antigen showed a relative percent survival of 50.1%, increased antibody levels, and upregulated expression of immune-related genes. The recombinant antigen was found to provide a high level of immune protection and is a potential vaccine candidate against C. irritans.

Summary: This study compared the effects of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and nano-copper on the morphology and hatchability of Cryptocarya irritans tomonts. Cu2O severely damaged the internal cell structure of tomonts and significantly reduced the hatching rate. In contrast, nano-copper showed little effect on tomonts and even slightly increased the hatching rate. Transcriptome analysis revealed that Cu2O mainly affected ribosomal and structural proteins, while nano-copper activated part of tomonts' innate immune response.

Summary: This paper studied the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of thiobenzoyl group derivatives with sulfoxonium ylide, which can directly synthesize 2,4-diarylthiazoles with different structures. By using palladium catalysts, the reaction can be milder and more cost-effective compared to traditional methods. Therefore, a group of 2,4-diarylthiazoles can be easily synthesized with moderate to high yields in this way.

Differential expression genes related to sex differentiation and gonadal development were identified, and key time periods for sex determination and differentiation were determined. Functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction analysis further revealed the role of these genes in sex differentiation and gonadal development. The study also showed sexual dimorphism in plasma 17 beta-estradiol and 11-Keto-testosterone levels in C. carpo.

Summary: Advancements in genomic technologies have played a crucial role in the genetic improvement of aquaculture species through the discovery and application of DNA-markers, such as SNPs. Specific genomic regions associated with economically important traits have been identified using GWAS, allowing the incorporation of markers linked to QTL into aquaculture breeding programs through MAS. However, most economically relevant traits are controlled by multiple QTLs, each explaining only a small portion of the genetic variation.

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.
