Summary: The study identified a lect2 gene from Nile tilapia (On-lect2) and characterized its roles in the fish's immune response against bacterial infection. On-LECT2 plays important functions in promoting inflammation, reducing tissue damages, and improving survival rate of Nile tilapia during bacterial infection, with the highest transcriptional levels in the liver.

Summary: This study discovered an IL8 gene from Nile tilapia and found that it plays a crucial role in acute bacterial infections. The gene codes for 94 amino acids and is highly expressed in the head-kidney tissue and induced by Streptococcus agalactiae and Aeromonas hydrophila. In vitro experiments showed that IL8 regulates various immune processes and promotes inflammation. These findings are significant for further understanding the protective effects of IL8 in bony fish against bacterial infections.

Summary: Mathematical models can be used to estimate the body composition of fish without sacrificing animals. In this study, Nile tilapia body composition data were collected from 138 scientific publications, and predictive models were developed using different combinations of models and calibration methods. The results showed that model predictions are influenced by the type of model, calibration method, and amount of calibration data available. The best predictive models for Nile tilapia body composition were the allometric model and a robust hybrid model, both calibrated assuming multiplicative error.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the potential effects of microplastics (MPs) on aquaculture organisms in biofloc systems. The results showed that MPs had minimal impact on water quality, fish growth, and digestive enzyme activity, but significantly affected the liver, muscle composition, and antioxidant response of the fish. However, MPs did not have a significant influence on the microbial communities.

Summary: This study investigates the function of Gsdf in fish ovary development using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The results indicate that Gsdf functions together with the TGF-beta signaling pathway to control ovary development and fertility. Mutated ovaries show hyperplasia, but differential expression of key genes involved in ovary development is observed.

Summary: In this study, the effects of florfenicol (FFC) on Oreochromis niloticus juveniles were investigated. The results showed that FFC caused a reduction in feed intake, survival, and biomass, as well as abnormalities in hematological, erythrocytic, and serum biochemical indices. However, most of the measured parameters and histopathological changes recovered within 3 weeks after the suspension of FFC dosing, indicating that the therapeutic dose of FFC is reversible and safe for O. niloticus.

Summary: This study conducted genome-wide identification and comprehensive analysis of the SDR superfamily in 29 animal species, revealing that the number of SDR genes in animals increased with whole genome duplication, and vertebrate SDRs were clustered into five categories. Tandem duplication of specific SDR genes was observed in different animal groups, and sexually dimorphic expression of certain SDRs in adult fish gonads was confirmed by in situ hybridization and qPCR, suggesting their potential roles in steroidogenesis and gonadal differentiation.

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.
