Summary: In this study, the expression stability of six reference genes in hybrid yellow catfish was evaluated. The results showed that SBM levels, sampling time points, and different tissues significantly impacted the expression stability of these reference genes. β-actin, EF1a, and HPRT1 were found to be the more stable reference genes. Attention should be paid to tissue, sampling time points, and SBM diet levels when selecting suitable reference genes for normalizing target genes.

Summary: The study showed that adding B. velezensis YFI-E109 to hybrid yellow catfish diets can improve growth, liver and gut health, and reshape the gut microbiome. However, excessive supplementation of the probiotic may reduce its beneficial effects, indicating the need for optimal dosage for maximum benefits.

Summary: This study investigates the interactive influences of dietary zinc and water temperature on zinc transport, heat stress and lipid metabolism in the livers of yellow catfish. Results show that a water temperature of 32 degrees Celsius can alleviate the negative effects of dietary zinc on growth performance and regulate gene expression. Additionally, a combination of water temperature and dietary zinc can increase the expression of heat stress-related genes and mitigate the effects of dietary zinc on lipid content.

Summary: The study showed that dietary supplementation with tryptophan improved muscle growth, protein synthesis, and antioxidant capacity in hybrid catfish, possibly through myogenic regulatory factors, IGF/PIK3Ca/AKT/TOR, and Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathways. The optimal tryptophan requirements for the hybrid catfish were estimated to be 3.94 and 3.93 g/kg of dietary protein, based on regression analysis.

Summary: The effects of different dietary protein sources were investigated on the reproductive performance of female yellow catfish. It was found that the use of soybean meal as the main protein source improved the reproductive performance by increasing gonadosomatic index, relative fecundity, total egg production, egg diameter, and hatching rate. Soybean meal also promoted the synthesis of sex steroid hormones and vitellogenin, while reducing cholesterol and cortisol levels.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth performance of yellow catfish under chronic low ammonia exposure and determine the upper limit of growth tolerance for ammonia. The results showed that the growth performance of yellow catfish significantly declined when ammonia level exceeded 1.25 mg/L TAN. It is recommended that juvenile yellow catfish not be exposed to ammonia concentrations >1.25 mg/L TAN for prolonged periods of time.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary protein-to-energy ratios on the growth, immunological response, antioxidative capacity, liver and intestinal histology, and growth-related gene expression of hybrid yellow catfish. The results showed that a protein-to-energy ratio of 95 mg/kcal resulted in the best growth and feed utilization. Low or high protein-to-energy ratio diets can cause oxidative stress, impaired liver function, and significantly reduced nonspecific immunity.

Summary: The present study found that dietary lipid levels affect lipid metabolism and muscle quality in yellow catfish. High-fat diet increased lipid deposition and lipogenesis, while decreasing fatty acid oxidation. This led to oxidative stress and inflammatory response in muscle tissues.

Summary: Dietary Clostridium butyricum has positive effects on growth performance and resistance to ammonia stress in yellow catfish by increasing intestinal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) productions, upregulating genes encoding tight junction proteins, downregulating transcription of proinflammatory factors Il-1 and Il-8, and inhibiting the Mlck/Nf-kappa b signaling pathway.
