Summary: The article presents a theoretical bioenergetic model for yellowtail kingfish to investigate the complex interactions between its growth, metabolism, and other physiological aspects. The model can be used to estimate nutrient and protein retention, nutrient loads in the ecosystem, and make predictions for improving production.

Summary: The essential amino acid (EAA) requirements of many cultured species are unknown, leading to aquafeeds being formulated based on similar species; YTK's EAA requirements for sulfur-amino acids and taurine have been quantified, raising doubts about the adequacy of other EAAs in commercial feeds.

Summary: The study analyzed the effects of piscine GnIH ortholog LPXRFa peptides on the expression of reproduction-related genes in the brain of yellowtail kingfish, revealing inhibitory effects on multiple gene expressions. This suggests that these peptides may have negative impacts on the reproductive system of yellowtail kingfish.

Summary: This study investigated the dietary methionine and cysteine requirements of Yellowtail Kingfish, finding that cysteine can spare up to 40.4-49.2% of methionine in the total sulfur amino acid requirement. Optimal levels of these amino acids are crucial for growth and feed efficiency in YTK, with sub-optimal levels potentially leading to cataract development.

Summary: This study compares the gene expression, enzyme activity, and FAA content between floating and low-floating embryos. The findings suggest that differences in the expression and activity of cathepsins between the two groups can be revealed at specific embryonic stages, indicating different functions of these enzymes throughout development. Additionally, FAA content seems to be a decisive factor for embryo buoyancy during early development of S. lalandi. These findings can be used as markers to evaluate embryo quality in the farming of this species.

Summary: This study assessed the effect of different feed types on the faecal characteristics and waste production of yellowtail kingfish. It found that the inclusion of natural ingredients in the diet reduced faecal waste production and improved faeces integrity. Therefore, dietary interventions offer possibilities to reduce the total suspended solid load for yellowtail kingfish farming.

Summary: Yellowtail kingfish is a promising marine fish for aquaculture in China due to its taste, fast growth, and high economic value. This study investigated the tolerance and adaptability of farmed yellowtail kingfish to hypoxia. The results revealed changes in gill structure, gastrointestinal microbiota, transcriptome, and physiological adaptations in response to hypoxia and reoxygenation. The findings suggest the importance of lipid metabolism, protein repair and synthesis, and gastrointestinal microbiota in the resistance and homeostasis maintenance of yellowtail kingfish under hypoxic stress.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of substituting wild derived fishmeal with commercially relevant alternative ingredients for large yellowtail kingfish. The results show that the substitution does not significantly impact the growth, feed utilisation, health, and blood parameters of the fish. It is recommended that large yellowtail kingfish feeds should include a minimum of 10% wild derived fishmeal and a combination of poultry meal, soy protein concentrate, and fishmeal.

Summary: The use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) can assist in predicting the digestibility of dietary nutrients in Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) efficiently. The NIRS models developed showed promising results in predicting diet and faecal composition, providing a cost-effective and accurate method for assessing diet apparent digestibility in fish.

Summary: The study found that feeding Yellowtail Kingfish seven days a week led to significantly better growth rate and relative feed intake compared to more restricted feeding regimes. High specification diets also had positive effects on the growth and condition of Yellowtail Kingfish. However, fish under restricted feeding regimes struggled to increase feed intake to meet nutrient and energy demands.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological responses of juvenile yellowtail kingfish to copper toxicity. The results showed that the safe concentration of copper for these fish is 0.083 mg/L. Copper exposure caused structural damage to the gill and liver, but these effects could be reversed during the recovery period. Copper exposure also affected enzyme activities and gene expression in the liver and gill. The study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying copper-exposure stresses in yellowtail kingfish.

Summary: The fish gut microbiome is influenced by various factors such as fish feed formulations and the built environment, with the gills and skin being more impacted by the surrounding environment. Diversity of the mucosal microbiome decreases with age in the gut, while being lower in fish from ocean net pens compared to indoor fish. Feed has a relatively minor impact on the microbial communities, while aeration equipment plays a crucial role in microbiome development in marine fish.

Summary: Yellowtail kingfish have poor faecal integrity when fed with pelleted diets due to the presence of dietary starch. This study investigated the effects of dietary starch level, protein source, and their interaction on faecal waste production and characteristics. The study found that reducing dietary starch level allows for the substitution of fish meal with plant protein ingredients without affecting growth performance in yellowtail kingfish. Lowering dietary starch level may also reduce solid loading in recirculating aquaculture systems for yellowtail kingfish.

Summary: Marine microplastics rapidly form a unique biofilm when exposed to unfiltered seawater, which contains infochemical-producing species associated with food sources. However, juvenile kingfish showed no difference in attraction towards biofouled plastics compared to clean plastics, according to olfactory behavioral experiments. Ingestion experiments also revealed that the kingfish ingested fewer biofouled microplastics, likely due to the bioavailability of the microplastics.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of reducing dietary protein and source of protein on gut health and barrier function in broiler chickens. The results showed that feeding broilers with reduced protein diets decreased weight gain and increased feed conversion ratio, and had an impact on intestinal permeability and gut microbiota composition.
