Summary: The study found that optimal levels of mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) significantly improved the flesh quality of grass carp, enhancing tenderness, flavor, and reducing cooking loss, while also boosting antioxidant capacity. The mechanisms underlying the improvement in flesh quality by MOS involved reductions in lactate, cathepsin, and oxidative reactions, as well as regulation through NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathways.

Summary: This 8-week experiment assessed the effect of dietary thiamin on the meat quality of grass carp. The results showed that optimal dietary thiamin improved grass carp flesh quality by increasing nutritional quality, improving flesh flavor, elevating fillet healthcare components contents, enhancing sensory characteristics, and enhancing flesh antioxidative capacity. The changes in muscle flavor, healthcare components, sensory characteristics, antioxidant capacity, target of rapamycin, and Nrf2 expression were correlated with the dietary thiamin.

Summary: Alterations of apoptosis have significant impacts on flesh quality, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated apoptotic behaviors and related triggering mechanisms in fish muscle during refrigerated storage. Results revealed that the activation of caspases, changes in energy metabolism, cytochrome c redox state, heat shock protein expressions, and protease activities played critical roles in apoptosis alterations in carp muscle.

Summary: Dietary rutin supplementation can improve the growth, antioxidant response ability, and flesh quality of grass carp, with the recommended supplemental level being 0.8-1.0 g/kg. Rutin inclusion enhanced weight gain, reduced feed conversion ratio, increased serum SOD activity, decreased serum MDA content, increased collagen content and total free amino acids in flesh, and promoted the content of n-3 PUFA in flesh. However, it did not significantly affect flesh texture and water-holding capacity.

Summary: CD3 is a crucial component of the TCR-CD3 complex in adaptive immunity, with its homologues CiCD3γ/δ and CiCD3ε identified in grass carp and shown to be highly expressed in healthy fish and modulated by infections. A monoclonal antibody against CiCD3γ/δ was successfully produced, which showed good reactivity in Western blotting and flow cytometry analysis. The CiCD3γ/δ(+) cells were found to be localized in the gills and head kidney, accounting for a small percentage of lymphocytes in different organs.

Summary: This study investigates the evolutionary background and expression regulation of grass carp miRNAs. Multiple novel miRNAs have emerged during grass carp evolution, and both duplication and de novo production contribute to miRNA cluster formation, with de novo creation being more prevalent. Clustered miRNAs are more conserved and change slower, while unique miRNAs tend to have higher evolution rates and lower expression levels.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the TBK1 gene in grass carp could be upregulated by bacterial infection. Overexpression of TBK1 could reduce the number of adhesive bacteria in cells and promote cellular migration, proliferation, vitality, and anti-apoptosis ability. TBK1 could activate the NF-kappa B signaling pathway and induce autophagy in cells. These findings provide important information about the defense and immune mechanisms used by grass carp against pathogens.

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.
