Summary: The Malaysian mahseer is a large riverine cyprinid species indigenous to Southeast Asia, popular for food, ornamental, and recreational fishing. However, their wild populations are now facing ecological threats due to overexploitation, habitat degradation, and water pollution. Successful hatchery production and high market value have made Malaysian mahseer a potential aquaculture species.

Summary: Geographical isolation between river ecosystems leads to phenotypic variation and population structure changes in aquatic species. The study on Tor Mahseer in Indian Rivers revealed four heterogeneous phenotypic stocks based on shape, with significant differences in morphology mainly focused on the head, body depth, and caudal peduncle area.

Summary: The research investigated the effects of substituting fish oil with corn oil on gonad development in female Tor tambroides broodstocks. Results showed that a diet with a 1:1 ratio of fish oil to corn oil had positive effects on GSI and E2 concentration, indicating a preference for supplementation of both n3 and n6 oil sources in the diets of T. tambroides. Further studies are needed to strengthen this conclusion.

Summary: Germ cell transplantation is a powerful technique that allows for the production of gametes from commercially important or endangered fish species. In this study, researchers successfully cryopreserved and transplanted germ cells from semah mahseer into Nile tilapia, resulting in the production of donor-derived offspring. Genetic analysis confirmed that these offspring carried identical genotypes to the donor individuals.

Summary: Plants convert carbohydrates into energy-dense lipids through photosynthesis, making plant oils an economically and sustainably attractive feedstock for biofuels and value-added bioproducts. Various strategies have been developed to enhance lipid accumulation and produce specialty lipids with increased uses and value. Successful metabolic engineering involves expression of lipogenic factors from other sources or with specialized functionality.

Summary: The brown marine macroalga Padina gymnospora produces defensive chemicals and calcium carbonate on its surface as potential protections against herbivory. The chemical compounds extracted from P. gymnospora showed a significant reduction in consumption by the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus, while the calcium carbonate did not provide physical protection. A specific hydrocarbon compound, 5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-heneicosatetraene, exhibited a significant defensive property against the sea urchin.

Summary: During infection, pathogenic microbes such as Staphylococcus aureus adapt to the host's nutritional environment by scavenging necessary nutrients, including lipoic acid, and enzymes required for metabolism. The ability to acquire lipoic acid and unsaturated fatty acids from the host environment is crucial for the pathogen's virulence in different infection sites. The findings emphasize the importance of host lipid assimilation for bacterial survival and suggest challenges in targeting bacterial lipogenesis as an antibacterial strategy.

Summary: This paper provides a compilation of technical developments aimed at promoting fatty acid profile (FAP) and lipid yield (LY) during the harvesting process of microalgae. Co-cultivating specific microalgae with fungi, bacteria, or other microalgae strains was found to improve flocculation efficiency and FAP&LY. Proper wet storage conditions and stress induction strategies could enhance FAP&LY efficiency and reduce expenses associated with cell drying and related equipment. Enhancing FAP&LY through the harvesting process could be a breakthrough technology for cost-efficient microalgaebased biodiesel production.

Summary: The level of carbon dioxide is critical to the success of juvenile fish production. The study assessed the growth, skeletal deformities, and blood parameters of the economically important freshwater fish mahseer under different pCO(2) concentrations. The findings showed that the highest growth properties were observed at 400μatm pCO(2), while the lowest growth indices were found at 1000μatm pCO(2).

Summary: Fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) is an intracellular chaperone that regulates lipid metabolism and cell growth. Increased expression of FABP5 is associated with poor prognosis in tumors, and inhibiting FABP5 reduces protumoral markers, making it a potential therapeutic target. The strongest evidence base currently exists for liver, prostate, breast, brain cancers, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

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.
