Summary: Hypoxia has become a significant issue in aquatic environments and aquaculture systems. In this study, a hypoxia-tolerant hybrid fish strain was generated through artificial insemination. The hybrid exhibited higher hatching rate, improved hypoxia-tolerance, and evidence of tissue remodeling in response to hypoxia. Rapid response of HIF-related genes and activation of antioxidant enzymes were observed in the hybrid. This study provides an alternative method for generating hypoxia-tolerant fish strains through hybridization breeding in aquaculture.

Summary: Fish are at high risk of ammonia exposure in aquaculture systems, which can lead to increased susceptibility to diseases. The study investigated the role of argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) in regulating urea synthesis and nitric oxide synthesis in fish. The results showed a correlation between ASS expression and disease outbreak. The targeted regulation of ASS improved immune response in fish under ammonia stress.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) supplementation on ammonia tolerance in yellow catfish. The results showed that NCG supplementation can improve the ammonia tolerance of yellow catfish, and the activation of the urea cycle may be related to the activity of argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS).

Summary: The study found that ammonia accumulated in the intestine and muscle, disrupted protein digestive enzyme function, altered amino acid composition in muscle, and increased the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in muscle. Additionally, ammonia stress reduced diversity, richness, and altered microbiota structure in the intestine, with an increase in the abundance of Fusobacteria and beneficial microbiota Cetobacterium.

Summary: Ammonia toxicity varies among different fish species, with yellow catfish exhibiting a response to ammonia detoxification through inhibition of argininosuccinate synthase (ASS) which can lead to disruptions in the urea cycle. In cases where the urea cycle is inhibited, fish can enhance their detoxification capacity by improving glutamine synthesis. Arginase plays a significant role in ammonia detoxification in yellow catfish.

Summary: This study reveals the toxic effect of ammonia nitrogen stress on the intestine of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. Ammonia nitrogen stress causes structural damage to the intestine, reduction in mucous cells, and decreased enzyme activity. Ultrastructural pathology shows sparse microvilli, badly degraded tight junctions, and impaired intestinal mucosal barrier. Immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR analysis further confirm the damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier and the occurrence of intestinal inflammation.

Summary: Research on microplastics (MPs) in freshwater organisms is less compared to marine organisms, but the toxic effects of MPs on typical aquaculture fish need to be clarified. Hypoxia complexly interacts with MPs in fish, potentially exacerbating the negative effects on immune factors. Further studies should focus on cellular pathways of immune cells in fish to better understand the impacts of MPs and hypoxia on aquatic organisms.

Summary: The study found that exposure to high concentrations of TCEP resulted in significant adverse effects on the growth of juvenile yellow catfish, including decreased body weight, body length, and specific growth rate. This inhibition of growth may be related to interference with the GH/IGF axis and SS signaling system, as well as impairment of hepatic structures.

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.
