Summary: The study showed that reducing TI activity in SPC from soymilk to <= 21 TIU/mg sample (<= 9.66 TIU/mg diet) allowed replacement of 80% of FM protein without affecting growth performance and health status. Additionally, a significant decrease in phosphorus discharge suggests ecological benefits through improving diet utility by lowering TI activity in SPCs from soymilk.

Summary: A 50-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of spent oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi byproduct as a probiotic supplement for juvenile red sea bream. The results showed that diets with yeast supplementation significantly improved growth responses, digestive enzyme activity, blood health, antioxidant activity, immune responses, and stress tolerance ability in fish. The optimum supplementation level was found to be 2.5% of the dietary proportion.

Summary: Genetic deformities in cultured fish species can impact production and welfare, therefore it is essential to identify causative genes. A transparent phenotype in juvenile red sea bream was found to be caused by a missense mutation in the duoxa gene, disrupting thyroid hormone synthesis. The mutation affects traits such as thyroid enlargement and immature erythrocytes, and can be rescued by T-4 immersion.

Summary: Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by CTNS gene mutations, leading to cystine accumulation in multiple organs. The diagnosis of cystinosis is currently based on elevated white blood cell (WBC) cystine levels. We present a case of adolescent proteinuria and corneal cystine crystals with slightly elevated WBC cystine levels, which hindered the diagnosis of nephropathic cystinosis. However, further examination of skin fibroblasts and urine-derived kidney cells revealed higher cystine levels, along with the presence of a homozygous missense mutation in the CTNS gene. This highlights the importance of considering alternative diagnostic methods for patients with low WBC cystine levels.

Summary: In this study, molecular biological and histopathological analyses were conducted to identify the cause of mass mortality in juvenile Pacific cod. It was discovered that the consumption of red seabream eggs led to the spread of the viral nervous necrosis (VNN) virus, resulting in vacuolization in the brain and eyes of both red seabream and Pacific cod. This study highlights the importance of controlling the vertical and horizontal transmission of VNN during the production of seedlings.

Summary: The study revealed that iron had a significant impact on the reproductive patterns of the temperate species Brachionus plicatilis, while it promoted population growth and extended lifespan in the tropical species Brachionus rotundiformis. Additionally, Brachionus rotundiformis demonstrated a better antioxidant mechanism and upregulation of genes related to lipid synthesis and reproduction when exposed to iron, suggesting higher resilience to iron-induced oxidative stress compared to Brachionus plicatilis.

Summary: The study investigated the spawning migration and habitat utilization of greater amberjack in the East China Sea. The fish were found to mainly stay in the waters off eastern Taiwan in winter, then migrate southward in spring to experience a slowly elevated water temperature regime before spawning. This behavior may be influenced by oceanographic features like the seasonal monsoon and the Kuroshio.

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.
